He explains that farm purchase costs rise little from tariffs, while protections help agricultural producers overall.

It cites rising flax acreage from 1,641,000 in 1921 to 9,005,000 25, boosting domestic supply, reducing reliance on wheat, and stabilizing prices. It links prosperity in industry to farmer welfare, noting unemployment in 1920 lowered consumption of animal products and that prosperity and high wages support farming and overall economic stability.
