Both Farm Owners and Farm Workers Should be Worthy
"None of us wants to consider the >evival of farming as a war airn in itself, but, believing in the importance of farming to the country. whether in war or in peace, we must do everything we can | to see that in no circumstances is agriculture allowed to sink into the torpor out of which it was roused by the war," said a well-known North Taranaki farmer in discussing a number of aspects of the war production effort with a Daily News reporler. "Every day we are building a greater industry," he added. "The new status of farming must mean more than greater profits for farmers," continued the farmer. "We have other partners in the industry— the workers on the one hand and landowners 'on the other. We cannot be satisfied with a condition of our industry which fails to allow proper wages to the men or a reasonable rcturn on the landowner's capital. Any estimate of future costs and therefore of prices must allow for substantial increases in these two items."
