WHY MORE FARM LAND?
When Congress meets next month we shall see a re
newal of efforts to pass two kinds of legislation which
would appear to an unbiased observer to be intended to
•defeat each other.
One is the proposal to appropriate money for farm
relief, with a view to a better handling of surplus farm
products. The other is the proposal to appropriate money
for bringing under cultivation vast areas of additional
land through irrigation.
The first proposal, that for farm relief, is an eminent
ly worthy one, provided some workable plan can be agreed
upon which will accomplish the object sought. But if farm
relief is supplied with one hand, and additional land is
provided by the other, where shall the farmer be benefit
ed in the long run ?
This country does not require any additional farm
lands just now, no matter how speculators and promoters
may feel.
But the speculators will he on hand when Congress
meets, seeking to secure more appropriations from the
public treasury whereby their pet schemes for irrigation
may be carried out, so as to create a hack-ground for fake
real estate booms.
And, unless vigorous protest is made, a “log-rolling”
Congress will fall for the plan.
It is said that just before snow covered the local got.
link a golfer drove a tee shot into the woods and after
an extended search found the ball alongside of a skunk
it had killed. He had no further trouble in locating the
hall after that, we can imagine.
A California town puts traffic violators in jail. If
that custom were general pedestrians would-have a clear
