A dated editorial warns that food production will be hurt by high farm wages, labor shortages, and costly equipment. It notes declining farmer numbers, reduced hired labor, and suggests immediate action from public and private agencies to align labor, finance, and transportation. It urges more cultivation and amateur gardening to lower living costs.
It is agreed a substantial railroad freight rate increase is inevitable in the near future. Present rates fail to cover fixed charges and operating costs under the new railroad act.

It states past sins led to bankruptcies, and now the public and railroads become partners, paying what is needed in exchange for improved service and fair rate pass through.
