﻿T-BONE SLIM DISCUSSES INCIDENTALLY---AMONG OTHER THINGS 
 
Says Hinman, pursuant to reclamation of waste places for farming purposes, among other things: 
“The Ancient Law 
“If with Europe amost doubling her demand for our foodstuffs, we still have a surplus, we surely are producing so vast a supply that we cannot expect prices to go up speedily even though the government spend a billion to raise them. Until the demand grows up to the extra supply or the extra supply shrinks down to the level of the demand, the price relief to the farmer cannot come. 
“Old demand and supply again!” exclaims a reader contemptuously. Yes, old demand and supply again! We may not like it, but— how are we going to get rid of it? That is the question that is yet to be answered.”— Her.-Exam, July 4. 
Beg your pardon, Hinman, the question is already answered, and we do not mind answering it again—in fact, we take special delight in answering it. We don’t care how many times we answer it. We’ll get up in the middle of the night to answer it, if necessary. 
The I. W. W. is the answer— “Produce for use instead of for profit,” is the “medium” of reply. Organize INDUSTRIALLY, find out what things we need, and how many; produce only so many, and of such “kinds”— enough for all and no more. Enough is enough. Conserve labor power. Let Europe support itself.
