tPrepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
You have heard a great deal about
the problems of reconstruction that are
pressing for solution. But, like most
men, you have probably thought of
them as tremendously big problems
that had to be solved, nationally and
internationally, by statesmen and dip-
lomats and high executives. They are
that—but not just that. Every man—
certainly every farmer—has a recon-
struction problem all bis own.
The war unbalanced the agriculture
of the United States by unbalancing
the agriculture of individual farms.
There had to be produced the kind of
food that could be transported over-
seas. Wheat is pre-eininen tly that
kind of food, and other grain crops are
to an extent, such. Very many farms,
therefore, got too heavy on the side of
tilled and cereal crops and too light
on the side of hay crops and pasture.
Many farmers increased their tilled
and cereal crops beyond what they had
any basis of experience in carrying.
Labor requirements were increased.
Rotation practices were Interfered
with. To the extent that the wheat
acreage was increased, the climatic
hazard was increased, because, under
the extensive farm practice that char-
acterizes American agriculture, wheat
is a crop that is very sensitive to cli-
matic uncertainty. Such a practice
long continued was likely to result,
j therefore, not in increased food pro-
i ductiou at all, but in actually reduced
, food production. In the long run, that
, would be the inevitable result. Even,
. if by some miracle, the hazard of
! weather could be escaped, the practice
| would reduce soil fertility until yields
would be greatly cut down. But, be-
fore that even, meat production would
be harmfully reduced. For it is as
true physically as spiritually that man
does not live by' bread alone. Very
largely, he lives by meat. And meat
animals—and milk animals—do not
grow on grain alone. Most largely,
they grow and produce on green grass
and dry grass—pasture and hay.
Return to Sound Farming.
Those are some of the reasons why
the United States department of agri-
culture began urging, almost Immedi-
ately after the signing of the armistice
and continuously since, a return to
sound agricultural practice—returning
to pasture and hay lots, to clover and
other fertilizer-fixing crops, some of
the land that had been used for grain
during the war emergency. The sug-
gestion has been criticized from some
quarters, because in some quarters it
has been misunderstood. |
Specifically, the department recom-
mended that it was not advisable to
undertake t* maintain the wheat acre-
age sown for the crop of 1919. That
_____ did not imply that the department

Plenty of Feed for Live Stock.
And so the. United States depart-
ment of agriculture, for the good of
everybody concerned, continues to urge
the sort of safe and sane agriculture
that provides plenty of pasture and
plenty of Kay—which means providing
plenty of meat nnd milk.
The farmer, unless he chose to head
straight for bankruptcy, could not think
of maintaining a wheat acreage equal
to that sown for the 1919 crop. With
decreased man power—and farm labor
appears to be just as hard to find now
as it was during the war—farmers can-
not maintain a materially larger acre-
age of tilled and cereal crops than
they did with larger man power sev-
eral years ago. If they should under-
take it as a permanent policy, city
families would not only have less meat
and milk than they are accustomed to,
but they would actually have less
bread, also.
War needs caused the plowing up of
many pastures that, under peace-time
conditions, are worth more in the
economy of the farm in pasture or hay
than in cereal or tilled crops. Some of
them are back in grass now. There are
others that should go back in grass.
Specialists of the department of agri-
culture suggest that every farmer, dur-
ing the winter when he has leisure to
lay his plans carefully, work out his
own problem of reconstru'*; make
his plans for planting the kind of A ops
next spring that will, enable him, if
at once then ns soon as possible, to pm i
his farm back on Its proper basis of
diversification and rotation. His coun-
ty agent and his state college of agri-
culture are ready to help him at any
point where he may need help. The
United States department of agricul-
ture is ready to advise him on prac-
tically any phase of the matter. x\
great deal of thought has been given
to the subject.
People of the Long Ago Raised the
Same Wall, Apparently to As
Little Purpose.
It is always soothing to learn that
our ancestors were kicking about the
same things that rile us today. Next
time you are inclined to believe that
high prices have been sent by the pow-
ers above to vex this day and genera-
tion alone, just ponder upon these
words written by John F. Watson of
New York city in 1843. under the head-
ing “Changes of Prices,” in a book of
his published in 1847:
“It is curious to observe the changes
which have occurred in the course of
years, both in the supply of common
articles sold In the markets and in
some cases in the great augmentation
of prices—for instance, Mr. Brower,
who has been quite a chronicle to me,
has told me such facts as the follow-
ing, viz.:
“Lie remembered well when abund-
ance of the largest Blue Point oysters
could be bought, opened to your band,
for 2s a 100 such as would now bring
from three to four dollars. Best sea
bass were but 2d a pound, now at Sd.
Sheepliead sold at 9d to Is 3d apiece,
and will now bring $2. Rock fish were
plenty at one shilling apiece for good
ones. Shad 3d apiece. They did not
then practice the planting of oysters.
Lobsters were not then brought to
market.
“Mr. Jacob Tabelee, who is as old as
87. and of course saw earlier times
than the other, has told me a sheep-
head used to be sold at fid, and the
best oysters at Is a 100. In fact they
did not stop to count them, but gave
them in that proportion and rate by
the bushel. Rock fish at 3d a pound.
Butter 8d to 9d. Beef by the quarter
in winter 3d n pound, by the piece 4d.
Fowls about 9d apiece. Wild fowls in
great abundance. He has bought
twenty pigeons in their .season for one
shilling; n goose was 2s. Oak wood
was abundant at 2s the load.
Thus Mr. Watson of the early nine-
teenth century thinks longingly of how
easy it must have been to live when
Brother Tabelee was young. He con-
tinues:
“In 1763 the market price of provi-
sions was established by law ,end pub-
lished in the Gazette. Wondrous
cheap they were, viz: A cock turkey
4s, a lien turkey 2s fid, a duck Is, a
quail 1%d, a heath hen Is 3d, • ? teal
6d, wild goose 2s, a brant Is 3d, snipe
Id. oysters 2s a bushel, sheephead and
sea bass three coppers per pound,
milk per quart 4 coppers, clams 9d a
11)0, cheese 4%d.
“Those celebrated ‘Blue Points’
avere destroyed by an intended kind-
ness. A law was passed to exempt
them from continual use, and by not
•being continually fished up they got
^embedded in the mud and wholly died
out!” ■

More Evenly Distributed Throughout
Year Than Supposed—Sales
for Year of 1918.
(Prepared by the United Stales Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Corn is sold by fanners month by
month throughout the year much more
evenly than may be generally sup-
posed. The bureau of crop estimates
has ascertained that, while as much as
15 per cent of the year’s sales, begin-
ning with July 1, 1918, was sold in
January, 1919, and 32 per cent in the
month before, the monthly sales dur-
ing the remaining ten months ranged
only from 64 to 8.-1 per cent of tin'
year’s iotal.

years. And that meant restoring pas-
tures, restoring hay fields, Insuring
feed for the meat animals upon which
the tables of the nation depend.
This return to sound agricultural
practice is important to the farmer,
certainly. But it Is not more impor-
tant to the farmer than it is to the city
man. It lias to do just as much with
reducing the high cost of Uvingjis with
reducing the high labor requirements
and the fertility-draining practice of
farming.
Wheat, officials of the department of
agriculture point out, does not key the
cost of living. It is merely one of a
number of co-ordinate elements.
“One honest John Tompkins, a hedg-
er and ditcher,” that perfectly con-
tented man whose praises are sung in
the old verse, had n habit of saying:
“If I can get meat, I can surely get
bread.” Maybe his reasoning was
faulty. But it was not a bit more
faulty than that of some business and
industrial leaders who say. by infer-
ence: “If we can get. bread, we can
surely get meat.”
Lack of pastures is a serious handi-
cap to production of low-cost milk. .
