It was worded to accomiilish just that, to arouse doubt and sus- I^ raised the old bogey of price-fixing, it bill sectional and class legislation. It accused the plan of promoting one-crop farming, of being (conomically unsound, of being unwork- able and inconstitutional. When Ihe writers had tired of throwing bricks and had lun out of bad names, like the small boy with his tpngue out whose parting shot is "you're us a thousand times," they said: "This measure is so long and involved that it is impossiblt to discuss it without going into many tiresome Retails. Many other reasons exist why it be approved, but it is impossible to state them all v lithout writing a book." All these objections were raised in the House Senate debates. All were effectively an- swered. The bill might have been unconstitutional in the mcsthod provided for the selection of; the Federal Farm Board. But the Supreme Court could have decided this point, after all a small one, if the issue (iver arose. length of the message, and its unusual on the other hand, gave it the ap- of an apology for the veto. Many of the accusktions could have been used against the The vehemencje pearance Federal Reserve Act, the protective tariff, the Immigration Act, the Esch-Cummins Act and other legislation none of which allows "free play of com- petition." The reply by the Executive Committee of 22, is published in full in this issue. Every member should read it carefully. The criticism of the message is set forth under 14 points. The reply refrains from saying that a book might have been written in criticism of the message. Labor and the Farmer John H. Walker, president of the Illinois State Federation of Labor commented favorably on the jrrowing friendliness between organized labor and the organized farmer, in a recent talk at Cham- paign. He referred to the school of thought which believed or believes that organized labor by rea- son of its success in gaining higher wages and shorter hours is largely responsible for the high cost of commodities the farmer must buy, for the scarcity and high cost of good farm'help, and for the disparity in prices between agricultural and non-agricultural goods. There is another side to this question which thinking farmers fully appre- ciate. Labor and the farmer unquestionably have much in common. Labor belongs to the consumer group. It buys what the farmer produces. Pros- perous labor is the farmers' best customer. Few if any begrudge labor its better working condi- tions and higher standards of living. They realize that labor through organization has done for itself what farmers have yet to accomplish. On the othei" hand, labor has been sympathetic to the farmers needs and demands. In Illinois, the State Federation endorsed the McNary-Haugen bill. It f(^ught for tax revision on the basis of ability to pay. Its leaders have shown a most admirable broadness of vision in these and other questions. Farmers have much to learn from labor. With as thorough and unified an organization as the latter, agriculture could get what it needs with much less effort than has already been expended toward securing surplus control legislation. The Outlook for 1927 The 1927 outlook of the federal bureau of agri- cultural economics is on the whole decidedly pes- simistic. It says there is slight hope for improve- ment unless there is a drastic cut in acreage of corn, cotton, wheat, and rice. It credits the livestock and dairy business with more favorable prospects. These and other farm commodities are briefly mentioned in the outlook report, as follows: "A slightly larger supply of farm labor and possibly lower wages. "Hard spring and durum wheat growers cannot expect as much for the 1927 crop as they received in 1926. "Corn growers are faced with the prospect of lower prices unless acreage is substantially reduced. "Oats and barley are likely to be in greater demand for feed. Prices will depend upon supply. "Prices of cattle are expected to average somewhat higher than 1926. "Hog producers have a favorable outlook but present prices will continue through 1928 only if pork production is held down to the level of the past two years. "Sheep production expected to increase slightly but a strong consumptive demand is anticipated. "The dairy industry is on a stronger basis than a year ago. "Egg and poultry producers may not expect as profitable a year as 1926. "Horses and mules are plentiful enough to meet demands but supplies of young stock are low. "Potato growers should guard against overplanting by watching acreage plantings in other states. "Trend of fruit production is upward but as large a crop as last year is not likely again. Don't plant more peach trees. "Increase alsike and red clover seed production." Cutting production by acreage reduction is not always effective because of the uncertainties of the weather. But it will be well to heed the hand- writing on the wall as revealed in statements of surplus and its possible effect on prices. For the diversified livestock farmer the chances for making some money in 1927 are good. For the straight grain farmer opportunity is less favorable. A good poultry flock will pay because the demand for poultry products is firm and we are still on a domestic consumptive basis under the protection of the tariff. It is now up to the farmer to help himself.

Dearborn St., the Executive Committee de- cided at its last meeting. While slight savings in rent might have been realized by moving a distance from the loop, the inconvenience to directors and members who come to the city and the loss of time involved in going to meetings and maintaining contacts with other groups were held to counteract the difference in cost. The I. A. A. pays its rent a year in advance and thereby secures a discount of 15 per cent from the regular rate. Approximately 5500 square feet of space are used by all departments of the Association. The loop is slightly overbuilt with office space as a result of the many new skyscrapers recently completed. Bids were secured from many space sellers anxious to have the I. A. A. officers. J
