READJUSTMENT AND THE FARMER. 
Extracts  from  the  Commencement  Address  of  Dr. H.  L. Russell,  Dean  of  Agriculture  at 
University  of  Wisconsin. 

Expansion  is  always  easy; 

contraction 
hard.  Shrinking  produces  pressure;  pres 
sure  friction;  friction  heat,  and  then  things 
boil  over,  whether  in  the  physical  or  social 
world.  We  are  satisfied  with  wage 
in 
creases,  with  larger  incomes,  but  we  growl 
over  any  reverse  movement.  Under  normal 
world  conditions,  changes  in  the  economic 
and  social  structure  are  not  sufficiently  vio 
lent  to  affect  profoundly  mankind,  but  war 
all 
has  upset  all  calculations,  dislocated 
normal  adjustments.  War 
is  waste—ex 
pense,  blood,  treasure,  a  backward  slide  of 
civilization,  and  with  it  comes  reduced  pro 
duction,  increased  costs,  inequalities  in  re 
turns. 

We  are  through  with  war,  but  now  comes 
the  aftermath;  Readjust  we  must—all  of 
us,  whether  we  are  farmers  and  manufac 
turers,  producing  commodities  and  food  sup 
plies,  or  everybody  who-are  consumers.  One 
positive  certainty  obtains—deflation  must 
follow  inflation.  The  question  is,  how  rap 
idly  will  it  come.  Will  it  be  gradual  or 
sudden?  Will  it  be  a  panic  or  an  adjusted 
decline.

AMERICA'S  PRODUCTION  DECLINE. 
The  fundamental  basis  for  lessened  crop 
production  lies  in  the  tremendous  increase 
in  labor  costs  this  season.  This  increases 
the 
the  farmers'  hazards.  Against 
much 
weather  he  must  always  take  his  chances, 
but  facing  an  increase  of  at  least  20  per 
cent  in  hired  labor  costs,  and  with  the  pos 
sible  prospects  of  declining  markets,  he  is 
hesitating  to  engage  as  large  an  amount  of 
labor,  and  with  the  extreme  shortage  which 
instances  it  is  ac 
now  obtains,  in  many 
tually 
this 
to  secure 
labor.  He  is  doing  this  year  what  he  can, 
capitalizing  his  own  labor,  but 
thousands 
of  acres  of  land  will  lie  unused  this  year 
on  account  of  the 
shortage.  The 
farmer  is  not  in  position  to  shove  produc 
tion  costs  of  his  products  on  to  the  next 
man,  like  the  contractor  did  on  the  cost-

price  is  based  on  the  wholesale  price  of  his 
the  world's  market;  be  it 
commodity 
wheat 
in  Chicago,  or 
butter  at  the  seaboard.  The  farmer  has  no 
special  brand  for  which  there  exists  a  dis 
tinct  trade  market.  His  own  crop  is  too 
small  in  the  aggregate  to  affect  the  market 
condition.  He  competes  with  his  neighbor;, 
sometimes  even  with  himself.  *  *  * 

THE  FARMERS'  HAZARD. 
The  farmer,  however  (if  he  stays  a  farm 
er),  must  continue  to  play  the  game.  His 
labor  and  capital  are  tied  together.  He  can 
in 
quit  the  game  if  he  thinks  best,  and 
In 
many  sections  that  is  what  he  is  doing. 
Michigan, 
left 
three  times  as  many  men 
Michigan  farms  in  the  past  three  years  as 
were  killed  or  died  in  the  Civil  War.  This 
year  over  18,000  farms  lie  idle  in  your  state, 
8.7  per  cent  of  your  total  number,  involv 
ing  an  aggregate  area  of  nearly  1,700,000 
acres.  And  these  farms  are  by  no  means 
in  the  poorer  sections  of  the  state,  but  in 
the  southern  central  counties,  nearly  5  per 
cent  of  the  farms  are  reported  as  being  idle 
this  year. 

The  merchant  can  sell  his  stock,  he  can 
drop  his  lease  and  quit.  Labor  may  pre 
cipitate  a  strike  on  call,  as  was  the  case 
within  the  last  month  or  two,  when  over 
100,000  men  were  thrown  out  of  employ 
ment  due  to  the  strike  that  was  precipitated 
in  Chicago  through  the  demotion  of  a  single 
workman,  but  suppose  the  farmer  should 
strike?  Suppose  that  he  was  to  receive  his 
pay  on  the  basis  of  eight  hours  per  day 
and  time  and  a  half  for  overtime,  and  dou 
ble  time  for  Sundays?  What  would  food 
costs  then  be?  You  can't  feed  the  world 
or  clothe  it  on  a  48-hour  labor  week.  And 
why  shouldn't  he  receive  these  wages  that 
are  now  being  received  in  the  city?  Labor 
takes  no  business  risk.  The  farmer  must 
always  gamble  upon  weather 
conditions, 
and  he  knows  from  experience  that  a  short 
crop  often  brings  better  prices  for  him  with 
less  labor  than  a  bumper  crop.  Any  for 
ward  look  to  the  future  that  is  going  to 
result  in  an  improvement  of  existing  condi 
tions  must  see  reasonable  living  conditions, 
not  only  in  the  factory,  but  on  the  farm 
as  well.  Otherwise,  unrest  will  be  fanned 
into  dissatisfaction  and  discontent.  Natur 
ally  the  farmers  are  not  bolshevistic  any 
more  than  labor,  but  -unrighted  wrongs  on 
the  part  of  either  are  sure  to  breed  dis 
content  and  trouble  in  the  future.  *  *  *

DeGay  Ernst  of  Grand  Rapids  will  serve 
as  captain  of  the  1921  track  team  at  M.  A.

FATHER •  TIME  LEADS  SEVENTEEN  AGGIES  OFF 
THE  FIELD. 

Seventeen  men  who  have  been  prominent 
in  Michigan  Aggie  athletics  will  be  lost  to 
the  athletic  world  of  the  institution 
this 
year  through  graduation  the  coming  week. 
This 
includes  seven  men  who  have  won 
baseball  letters,  seven  who  have  won  foot 
ball  letters,  five  who  have  won  basketball 
letters  and  three  of  track  fame. 

The  names  of  the  graduates  with 

the 
number  of  letters  they  have  won  follows: 
Snider  8,  Kurtz  5,  W.  Andrews  4,  Archer  4, 
Franson  4,  Johnson  3,  Garrett  3,  Coryell  3, 
Ramsey  3,  B.  Miller,  Doscher  and  Mills  all 
2,  and  Hendershott,  H.  Andrews,  C.  Miller, 
Shumway  and  Warren,  all  1. 

Snider  is  the  only  three  sport  man  on  the 
list.  He  has  won  three  letters  in  football, 
two  in  basketball  and  three 
in  baseball. 
Kurtz  approaches  him  most  closely  as  an 
all-around  athlete,  having  won  monograms 
in  track  and  basketball  and  having  cap 
tained 
in  each 
the  Aggie  team  one  year 
sport. 

When  the  total  number  of 

the  Aggie 
monogram  men  who  are  to  be  lost  is  consid 
ered,  it  is  evident  that  a  big  hole  is  to  be 
made  in  M.  A.  C.  athletic  teams,  but  with 
the  promising  material  which  has  exhibited 
itself  in  the  all-fresh 
teams  of  the  season 
and  in  spring  football  practice,  which  closed 
about  two  weeks  ago,  Aggie  backers 
are 
looking  for  stronger  teams  next  year.

There  is  something-  suggestive  about  "jazz." 
When  you  casually  mention  the  word  to  your 
next  door  neighbor,  he  may  conceive  any  one 
of  a  number  of  pictures.  Perhaps  he  thinks

strange 
rolling 
and  strident  sounds, 
about  the  floor  or  standing  upon  their  heads. 
Or  perhaps  he  sees  a  ballroom  scene  crowd 
figures  which 
ed  with  swaying,  wriggling 
recall  the  wild  ecstacy  of  an 
Indian  w ar 
dance.  The  mere  allusion  to  the  word  may 
set  his  feet  in  motion,  may  s t a rt  him  hum 
ming  some  recent  "jazzland  hit." 
Indeed,  if 
he  is  susceptible  to  the  call  of  jazz,  he  may

The  Feed That  Makes 
the  Milk Yield 

IF  you  have  not  m a de  up  your  mind 

as  to  w h at  is the  best  feed  for  large 
milk  production,  for  either  summer 
conditions  or  heavy  feeding  in  winter, 
visit  the  dairy  farmers  in  the  eastern 
states  a nd  see  w h at  they  feed.  These 
farmers  a re  supplying  large  markets 
with milk.  Their  principal  production 
is  dairy  products. 

Ask  them  what  high-protein  feed  they 
are using to  make up the main strength of 
their  rations.  The  answer  will  invariably 
be  that  they  are  feeding  Buffalo  Corn 
Gluten  Feed,  and, have  fed  it  for  a  good 
many  years—and  in  a  great  many  cases, 
their  fathers  fed  it  before  them.
