KENTNOR COMPANY, National Advertising Representative' TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 19*1Situation of AfricnltHre. REPRESENTATIVE ANDERSON, of Minnesota, has issued a statement as to the causes . . . of agricultural depression and the agriculE-tural needs for recovery and permanency as a distinctive basic industry. Mr. Anderson is not only chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee ot npjjjsicultural Inquiry, but during his ten years in Sitjongress, has made the study of agriculture his **|ftcialty. Probably no one else in the House is better informed on all phases of its problems. ?*=- First among the causes of depression from the "perpendicular drop" in priccs, he places the falling ^ j>ff in export demand, especially for meat products and cotton. Second, a marked decline in domestic consumption. Third, increase in freight rates, which to many others seems the primary cause of the second. Fourth, enforced liquidation through withdrawal of credits. More than any other commodities, he finds that farm commodities were forced on the market. It is always true, too. as he points out, that other industries meet periods of depression by reducing output. Mills, factories and shops run on .. part time or close down, regulating supply to meet ( demand. The farmers cannot do this. When their lands arc seeded, *He rest is beyond their control. "N'or can they foresee conditions with sufficient assurance a year ahead, to warrant material curtailment of crop area, nor are they organised for this. Mr. Anderson also lists four remedies for these .-conditions. First, is a more equable ratio of priccs between what the farmer sells and what lie buys, so tfiat his dollar may have a fairer proportionate purchasing power. This is largely dependent on the sccond, which is a general improvement in all industry to increase the demand. Third is a broader, more liberal crcdit accommodation, that the farmer may carry his load caused by high produc. tion costs and low selling price in 1920-21. And fourtlj a new credit system to permit farmers to restock and produce. This is productive credit and The Herald believes is more important than any other remedy for permanent betterment of farm conditions and is adequately provided for in the McFadden-Kenyon bill. Next to it, is marketing credit. This is temporarily cared for by the War Finance Corporation, but ultimately can be best provided by agricultural organizations. A beginning has already been made in this field by the fruit growers of the West; the combination of State associations of cotton growers in a single selling agency; by the Farm Bureau Federation's grain market association and by other . like bodies which will gradually be whipped into shape for practical operation. Ultimately these will cover the four great products?grain, cotton, livestock, fruits. The Herald agrees with Mr. Anderson that the present outlook for agriculture is much im? proved. Cotton has recovered amazingly in price. Other products will follow. This continent is the world's great food reservoir and will remain so until Russian recovery. The people of the world must eat to live and must in some way, finance a living tood ration. Without Russia, food rations will be low. Until stability comes there and in all Europe, financing will be difficult. But it seems that necessity is becoming the mother of peace, and with peace, world recovery will be rapid. West Virginia's Labor Day. , THE best news which could have come as appropriate to Labor Day, came from the West \ irginia coal fields. It was that of peace. The warring miners were going back to their homes. The "war" had ended. Not a shot was fired by the Frderal troops. Not a shot was fired at them. This wis not alone because of the hopeless inequality between the forces of the miners and our regular troops. It meant much more than this. The miners welcomed the coming of the troops. Their tinion officials, who had consistently opposed the resort to armed force, urged intervention and had much to do with the complete surrender. It is .the spirit of this surrender, rather than the fact, which has most significance. It was cheerful, not resentful; it was prompt, not grudging, and had no tinge of bitterness. It was acknowledgment of authority when authority had their confidence in its fairness. It shows that State authority could have had , Jtb? same result, if it had had the same character. 1 *TW miners have gone back home with the best of feeling toward Federal authority, hoping for, but not keenly expecting, a final settlement through Federal intervention. But they have no lessened resentment and enmity toward their own State's authorities and the mine operators. ? There was never such a situation anywhere, even with the fault all on one side. Men do not deliberately get in a state of mind when in a mass, they take arms and war in a cause where they are -*rholly wrong. These men threaten to go back when the troops leave. Must then the Federal gov-^fiinment replace with military rule, the government of West Virginia in those counties? Is this economic and industrial situation beyond fair settlement? * j; " These West Virginia hill men are said to be a peculiar people. Maybe they are. But they are a brive and courageous people and someway they feel themselves unjustly, unfairly treated and defied their rights. They were not merely scared when the troops came. There is something else, .and if West Virginia cannot bring permanent peace among its own, the Federal government may- well undertake it as no rrspecter of persons nor of' rights so vested as to be a coat of mai? The Greek kiytmct. THE end is not yet, but the Greeks seem to have the Kemalist Turks in a serious situation. Their own line would have been very vulnerable, if the Turks had had an effective army adequately aarmed. That it did not attack somewhere on the long, deep salient, was conclusive that they had neither the right morale nor the right equipment. Fortune certainly has favored the Greeks, who wisely did not hurry their final advance. The only strongly defensive position between them and Angora, the Nationalist Turk capital, was the Sakaria River. They took their own good time in preparation before attacking this stronghold, though it is said Nationalists had already removed their seat of government some 160 miles to the southeast of Angora. The capture of Angora will, therefore, have but a moral effect, save as it forces the Turks farther into what is practically unfriendly territory. When the Greeks began this final advance, they were well prepared. The contact came at the Sakaria and the Turks made a stubborn defense apparently with initial success. But they were outnumbered and out-armed. Fpr days there was no report save through Constantinople. Finally the good news came of Greek victory and then the pall again settled. There is reason for fair confidence, however, that the Greeks will reach and take Angora, which they announce they will not permanently hold, but will ioon fall back to the Bagdad Railroad. It is to be devoutly hoped that their victory will be so complete in prisoners and captured supplies, that the Turks will be definitely crippled for offensive operations. As it. is, the Kemalists have lost prestige. They have been defeated. They have shown their weakness and lack of resources. They are now known to be poorly armed and that they can expect no help from Russia. They are using all their reserves. For these reasons the Armenians, Georgians and Azerbaijanians occupying all the country back of them to the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus, are stirring in revolt. They are seeing their time to recover their independence. At the height of the Nationalist Turk movement, in alliance with Bolshevik Russia, these three extensive divisions were between the Turkish-Bolshevilc jaws. They were forced to accept Bolshevism with Turkish control. If they are aroused, and they are reported as arming; if they attack the garrisons weakened by the withdrawal of trocfos to the front, the situation will be reversed, and Kemal will be between hostile -jaws. His remaining source of supplies will be cut off. He will have no means of replenishing his ammunitions and no haven of refuge in all Asia Minor. It is this phase of the situation which seems to the onlookers most serious for the Turks and most encouraging for the Greeks, who now have won the prestige of success, but having learned a lesson, have not let success turn their heads. The Turks have never been loyal to failures, but there is no other authority to step into Rental's place free of blame for his failure. Without him the Turks become a disorganized mass, without leadersHip and broken, for warfare, into bandit bands. What the allies will do remains to be seen. How much the Greeks will be permitted to profit by their victory, will be settled at a distant council of other powers. That she can be robbed of all her gains is hardly possible; that she will be permitted their full value is improbable. Vet for the first time, there will be no Turkey. As a nationality, it will have to be restored under the Sultan at Constantinople. It will have to be almost internationalized or mandated. The problem rests upon-how far the jealousy of Italy and France toward Greece will be allowed to recall the Turk as trading stock, and offset their own extraterritorial, imperialist ambitions and greed against world interests and world peace. Look for the Hifh Lights. I WILL lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. That is always a good text, whether in a Republican campaign in Kentucky, in a period of mental depression from personal ills, or at a time like this, when the world, in its most flamboyant spots, seems headed pellmell to the demnition bow-wows. The psalmist may have been only in a mood of worship, but in thit of just everyday sense the man who does not love to drag along in the glooms, has but to lift his eyes to see the brightness, the sun's rays of promise and the good which perches above the wreckage. Wreckage is always on the low level. Evil never climbs. Sewers are under ground. One of the best high lights of promise in near fulfillment is the agreement reached in the FrenchGerman negotiations for the payment of reparations in kind. This provides that Germany in a period of three years shall furnish France 7.000,000,ooo gold marks in building materials, which shall be received and used for restoring the devastated regions, these materials being put on the market by the French government at a price level with I-rench materials. ' This will enable Germany to pay in raw materials and labor. It will materially ease the demand for cash. It is an assured selling order for continuous delivery the payments being made in a special issue of German bonds to be returned and cancelled, Germany arranging cash payments with only her own people. That the French authorities have finally agreed to this will go far in restoring those business relations which are the best cure for the enmity of bitterness. It is largely based on a reversal of opinion of French labor and will immensely expedite the work of rehousing the people of North France who have tilled their fields and restored production, but have, like the ravens, no places of abode. There are many other cheering high lights. All the Balkans have a food surplus. Poland, even, war-torn Poland, has food to give; give, not sell, to the Russian starving. The German republic should be judged by the history of the French republic rather than only by present ills. Bolshevism has almost wholly disappeared save in Russia itself, and there it is in the last convulsive throes foretelling the rigor of death. Over all the muss and mess of the level and of the deeper valleys where the shadows still hover, there is the spirit of greater wisdom, fairness and justice. Look for it in the present session of the league of nations, in the coming Washington conference, in the new spirit of patience in the British-Irish embroglio, look for it everywhere. You will find it and feel better fot the finding. ' ' The Fourth amendment is having fame thrust upon it.

A fllm magnate had transferred his affections after slngtln* out tho suicide, establishing her In a Madison avenue apartment and then discarding her. The girl was a mere scribbler in the Vllla*e attics, when praise fell from the magnates lips. Gating from the lowland of the tyro to- the heights of success, the girl saw the magnate outlined against the sun of achievement. She fell in love with him. She was then 15. She killed herself at the age of 20. Somehow the facta trickled into the ever ready ear of the editor of a scandal weekly that fattens and thrives on polite blackmail. He put the story into type, took a proof to the dim magnate and then waited I for results.

This Is read as a day of conflicting influences by astrologers who find that while Uranus and the Sun are in benefic asppct. Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn are all adverse. The rule inclines the mind to unoertalnty that mikes it difficult to reach decisions. Although the Sun gives the best encouragement to those who seek the aid or support of persons powerful in finance or business, the stars diminish self confidence and cause persons to appear at their worst Instead of their best status of thought and action. It should be a fairly propitious rule under which to seek employment. although editors and dealers in real estate may be difficult to approach.
