MODERN, income-producing
property offers exceptional
security to the first mortgage in-
vestor, because the income from
the property provides a constant
source of funds from which interest
payments can be made promptly,
and a substantial part of the prin-
cipal paid off each year.

It is such security as this, located in important and thriving cities of the United States-cities where rental demands are well established and where real estate values and economic conditions are soundthat protects your investments in SMITH BONDS.

Now you can get a 62% return, with this strong security, and with safeguards that have resulted in our time-tested record.

lar interest to the individual investor.
But the first ten reasons should be care-
fully considered.

Liberties and refunding obligations
of the Federal Government—are consid-
ered absolutely the foremost security in
the world. This does not mean that
they cannot fluctuate or go to lower or
higher levels. It does mean, however,
that interest payments are as certain as
anything can be and that the payment
of principal at maturity is just as sure.
They are, furthermore, almost as liquid
as cash, and hence are excellent for the
individual who has anywhere from a few
hundred to a few thousand dollars which
is idle and which, for various reasons,
cannot be invested for a while. Liber-
ties, lastly, are an admirable "back-log"
to supplement savings accounts and in-

surance.

The market price of bonds of this type depends mainly on money rates. In general, the market price of all good bonds bears a direct relation to money rates. Low money rates mean that bonds go up and high money rates mean that they go down. If we are considering the purchase of Liberties with a view to appreciation, we should have due regard to the probable future course of money rates. The main chance of gain and the chief risk of loss to the owner of Liberties lies just here. But the risk is not a grave one unless a forced sale is indicated. Uncle Sam will pay his inter

In a recent article on types of investments we referred to the reserve fund which should form a part of any investment. United States bonds are admirable for this purpose. They are, as the phrase goes, equivalent to "incomebearing currency." They can be converted into cash at any moment, almost anywhere. They will be accepted as security for a loan at any bank. For reserve purposes, on the one hand, and, on the other, for the investment of surpluses under certain conditions consider United States bonds. To-day when we buy them we do so coldly and calculatingly-in quite a different spirit from that in which we bought them in 1917 and 1918. Then it was necessary that we buy them. To-day it is not necessary, but it is very often desirable and wise to do so. W. L. S.

In reply to a reader who inquired about a certain issue made by a small, obscure, but apparently sound company, we said:

"We always regard a stock issue made for development purposes as speculative. Every statement of fact made in the circular may be absolutely true, but there is also the fact that the concern is young and needs money to expand. Why risk yours in this when you can purchase stocks of seasoned and profitable corporations?"

The Plight of the Farmer

A group of thoughtful letters called forth by Mr. Wing's criticism of the President in our issue of March

Ignorance Begets Injustice

WE

E are very much pleased to see in the issue of The Outlook for March 30 the letter of Charles B. Wing on the agricultural situation. It is by far the best presentation of the subject that has appeared in The Outlook.

We know from personal knowledge that conditions are just about as he describes them in the Black Belt of Alabama, where we are now operating a dairy farm, and also in Kentucky, our old home, where we have friends and relatives engaged in farming. Neither of these localities are one-crop sections. In the Black Belt, where cotton was formerly the principal crop, the cotton acreage has been reduced from year to year until live stock and dairying are now taking the lead. In Kentucky diversification has always been the rule, even in the tobacco regions.

It is nothing less than a tragedy that at this particular time we have at the head of our Nation a man who is so poorly informed on agricultural conditions. The situation reminds one of what we used to hear of Russia before the Revolution. It was said that the Czar was surrounded by a corps of advisers who made it their business to see to it that the truth about the condition of the country was kept from him. Mr. Coolidge is likewise surrounded by advisers who seem to have succeeded in keeping the truth of the agricultural situation from him.

It is as Mr. Wing says. Very few city people have a correct knowledge of the situation, and therein lies the great danger. The farmers are determined to carry on their fight for a square deal, and we believe that a majority of those in the industrial centers would be willing for agriculture to have justice if they were properly informed. The city press is missing a great opportunity for serving the people as a whole by failing to present in a fair and impartial way the need of relief legislation that will really reach the root of the matter-legislation that will do for agriculture what the tariff has done for manufacturing and industrial labor. If this is not done, it is bound to result in class warfare, in which all will suffer.

It seems to us that people in the cities are living in a fool's paradise.

We have been readers of The Outlook for many years. One of its strong appeals to us has been its sense of justice, instanced in one way by its long fight for an industrial democracy. Can it be that The Outlook is not equally concerned in justice for the farmers? If The Outlook is interested in justice for agriculture, we suggest that it look for its information to men like Clarence Poe, editor of the "Progressive Farmer;" to Dr. Kilgore, of North Carolina; Professor Macey Campbell, of the Iowa State Teachers' College; and to its correspondent Charles B. Wing, brother of the late Joseph E. Wing, than whom no man did more for a better rural life in America; instead of to men who are interested solely in the industrial life of the Nation.

There is a type of so-called agricultural leader who thinks it is all right for the farmer to work long hours for a bare subsistence, who does not object to farming being allowed to lapse into peasantry. However, these men do not represent the best and most intelligent element of our

The President Is to Blame ECENTLY I read an article by an Ohio very interesting. I hope you will publish others like it. Besides the information therein contained, I think the personal touch of such an article is worth much.

I was farming in 1920, when cotton went from 42 cents to 12 cents and bright-leafed tobacco from 56 cents to 16 cents per pound in six or eight months. Now I am in Washington practicing law.

I do not believe that the McNary-Haugen advocates are to blame, even if they be wrong, Constitutionally or otherwise. I think the real trouble is the conservatism of Mr. Coolidge. If he had acted promptly, there would have been no need for such. Seven years is a long while to discover agriculture.

Mr. Coolidge has, in effect, canceled the liberalism of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson.

Bucking the Law of Supply
and Demand

FTER reading the "Letter from an Ohio
Farmer" in a recent number of The
Outlook, I feel like asking a few questions
which naturally arise because of some dif-
ference in our experiences.

I know what are the "poorest and bleakest hills of New York," as he terms them. There I was born; there in that little red schoolhouse, which stands yet as a monument to the good old sturdy farmers of that vicinity, I received my first impressions of A B C and the rudiments of early education.

As we boys grew older we learned the real essence of the farmer's life. It was not eight or ten hours a day, but from early dawn till dark we were continually on the job. We learned the value of a dollar.

Besides the dairy business the farm productions were similar to those mentioned by Mr. Wing. For eggs we received ten

to twelve cents a dozen; butter, eighteen to twenty-five cents a pound. Our crops were all correspondingly cheap. We also grew some flax, and the coarse linen was made into shirts and pants, which we did not much like to wear because of the scratchy surface conditions.

Let us canvass a little among our farmers of this section at the present time, and the following information is about the average testimony of the present-day farmer hereabouts:

"True, we are not getting rich very fast, but we are breaking even and we live easier. One man with the machinery now at his command will do more work than three or four men in those early times. We have good roads; we have telephones; we have the radio, which gives us the daily market quotations; we have electric lights; the mail is delivered at our doors daily; we have more leisure. With the automobile, after the day's work we can go to the city, fifteen or twenty miles distant, do some shopping and attend the movies-in fact, we lead a more independent life than the city folk, and have no special desire to trade places with them."

Mr. Wing says, "We must have relief, and we intend to do so," by which we infer he means higher prices. Will he tell us in what way the farmer may expect relief? The executive branch of our Government is inclined to work along economical lines. High taxes, of which schools form a large part, are the result of State and local legislation. To us the law of supply and demand must make the price. Government cannot fix that. "When prices are low," he says, "we simply have to put out large acreage and increase production in order to get enough money." Of what benefit is increased production if the consumer is unable to use it? Whether it is wheat, corn, pork, potatoes, or whatever it may be, he will buy for his requirements. DAVID ELBERT.

Legislation No Cure

HAVE just read with keen interest and appreciation the "Letter from an Ohio Farmer" which is printed in your issue of March 30. Perhaps there is no more interesting phenomenon than the different ways in which people who have much the same hopes and ambitions and outlook react to the same event.

Now it happens that I too am a farmer -a very genuine son of the land (I rather object to the overworked and meaningless term "dirt farmer"). Perhaps I can qualify as being in good and regular standing in my vocation by saying that I am thoroughly accustomed to get up at five o'clock in the morning to milk cows. Also we are not amateurs or newcomers. It was one July day in the year 1800 that my greatgrandfather halted his ox-team where this farm lies beside the Lunenburg Pike, and here he and his young wife set up housekeeping, and we are here still. Through all those years my people have lived from this old farm by the toll of hands and brain. It can truthfully be said of them that none have eaten the bread of idleness and none have suffered want. I think we have been very happy in our work, and my greatest satisfaction in life is that I have a son-university bred-who will carry on.

I was rather surprised to read the plaint from Ohio, because I had been led to believe that real, active, formulated agrarian discontent was to be found mainly in the Corn Belt or beyond. I confess that I belong in the old Northeast-perhaps some will prefer to call it the "effete East." Even so, I had thought that economically,

agriculturally, and socially Ohio was fundamentally like New York.

Now there are many respects in which I cordially agree with Mr. Wing. Few thoughtful and intelligent persons will question his declaration that the farmer is economically at a disadvantage as compared with the industrialist. It is true that the purchasing power of the farmer's dollar lags behind the dollar of other men, and that we have largely failed to share in the marvelously increased earning power and rising standard of living which is such an outstanding characteristic of these fat years. The things that we produce and sell have, on the whole, enjoyed no such appreciation in price as is found in the general commodity price list, and in some cases have remained strangely close to the pre-war level. We are still under the shadow of the deflation of 1920. Since then we have known almost six lean, hard years.

It needs no profound wisdom to diagnose the cause of the farmer's woes. Spite of much talk about declining agricultural populations and widespread farm abandonment, it still remains true that in the world there are so many farmers and so many agricultural acres that food is altogether the cheapest thing we buy. I am afraid (I say this with a little feeling of humiliation and self-pity) that farming is the poorest-paid occupation in America. I know that only the exceptionally favorably situated and well-managed farm can afford to pay a wage as great as thirtyfive cents per hour, and feel a little puzzled-possibly a little embittered-when I note that the coal miners are striking to retain a wage scale of $7.50 for an eighthour day; something beyond the wildest dream of the most imaginative farmer. These things being so, the question naturally arises, "Why do men still continue to farm?" Well, there are various reasons. One is that a great many of us have all our earthly possessions locked up in a farm-a farm that is not now easy to sell-and it seems impossible to do anything else. Then some of us are too timid or perhaps too old to stand transplanting. Some of us-rather foolishly perhaps are willing to sacrifice a good many things just for the rather shadowy privilege of being our own boss. More than you would believe we realize that farming is not only an occupation but it is also a mode of life, and a mode of life in which millions of men believe, with a very deep and genuine faith. We know that there are some rather intangible compensations in farm life-some advantages that cannot be translated into bank balances. Lastly, as a class we are the most hopelessly confirmed of perennial optimists. Deep down in our hearts is always the gambler's hope that next year-next year-all things will change and that the end of the rainbow and the pot of gold will come down on the home farm.

I believe that farming is at an economic disadvantage as compared with industrial life; but I also believe that this is the result, not of unjust laws or of an unsympathetic attitude or of exploitation by the rest of the world, but rather because the farmer is just now caught in the grip of world-wide economic conditions which are a part of the times in which we live, and that his troubles are beyond legislative cure, and that dependence for relief must be sought in the operation of slow but sure economic laws and forces that are abroad in the world.

Now I make no pretense to familiarity with the Corn Belt farmer, but have had the opportunity during many years of intimate contacts with the farmer of the old East. I know what he is saying and what he is thinking about. I know that he

grumbles more or less. I know that he is leaving the marginal farms in large numbers. I know that he is sometimes tired and discouraged. But I also know that he is not looking for help from Washington.

Moreover-please note this-that as a class he is not so nearly down and out as his self-appointed spokesmen and caretakers may imagine. He is a hardy perennial and wonderfully tough to kill. Many of the older farmers remember and lived through the depression of the '90's and had still clean-cut intelligence enough to steadfastly vote against the great Free Silver delusion. Let me say that to an Eastern farmer who lived through those middle '90's this present depression, by contrast, appears like almost rosy prosperity.

And so it is that after our statesmenor politicians-at Washington had finally passed the McNary-Haugen Bill I felt a sense of depression because those who should be our wisest and best would go a-whoring after false gods. And when the veto came I felt a sense of almost jubilant relief because I felt that the ghost of that particular heresy was pretty effectually laid, and for the first and probably the last time in my life I addressed a letter to the President of the United States, expressing my gratification and my thanks because he had saved us from a most fantastic and probably a most disastrous economic experiment. JARED VAN WAGENEN, JR. Lawyersville, New York.

HE letter from Mr. Charles B. Wing, published in your issue of March 30,

is a fine, manly statement of the position most farmers are in to-day. To check his statements I have estimated the possibilities of a general farm of 150 acres rotating on corn, wheat, oats, rye, and hay, based upon the data of the Department of Agriculture. While an endless variety of figures may be produced by shuffling the crops, it appears possible for such a farm to return a net profit of about $650 per year. This represents the wages of the owner in compensation for a year's hard labor, plus the responsibility of deciding what to plant and where, when to harvest. and when to sell. In addition to this, he takes all the risks of climate and pests. While much of his food comes from the farm, against this should be charged the labor of his family, which I have not included in my estimate.

Such compensation is grossly unfair; it is less than the farmer must pay his hired man, who has no responsibility at all; and about all that can be said in favor of the situation is that the farmer is independent.

I must disagree emphatically with Mr. Wing's criticism of the President. He attempts to prove by illustration that rising prices do not result in increased acreage the following year. An examination of the Department's data for ten years indicates that there is no consistency in the relationship between prices and acreage. This is, no doubt, due to the uncertain factors to be taken into consideration in determining how much to plant. The parallel between this situation, in which prices are controlled by natural conditions, and the fixed price of the McNary-Haugen Bill is not a true one. It would be contrary to human nature to expect that if assured of a definite satisfactory price for the year's crop of wheat every farmer would not plant all he could of that grain.

My sincere sympathy is with Mr. Wing and the rest of the farmers, but I believe the President was right.
