Seme farmers favored by rp?!nnal ompaetness and contiguity, such as tbe Htnis-fralt-ralKers . of California, already have found a way legally to merge and sell their products integrally and In aeevrdance with seasonal and local demand, thus Improving their position and rendering the cn

turner a reliable service of ensured quality, certain supply, and reasonable and relatively steady prices. They j have not found It necessary to resort , to any special privilege, or .to claim any exemption under the ant'-tru;! legislation of tbe state or nation. Without removing local control, they 'have bnllt tip a very efficient marketing agency.

Realism t- -iKeaI the f.i -ts of the farmers ilisndvatitngei. and tbe practlvaldtit v of ellndnalinjc them try well-eon-v'.dered measures.

We. as city people. ' se In high am) spvulativjly n.'anipuhited prices, spoilage, waste, scarcity, the result

jof defective distribution of farm prdj ucts. Sliould it not occur to us that I we have a common Interest with the ! farmer In his attempts to attain a lesrev of eTicie-cj In distribution Csrre&.;omllug io his fücioncy In prJuc Hon? I)o not the recent fluctuations In the May whfat option, apparently unrelated to normal Interaction of supply and demand, offer a timely proof of th? need f)f some such st.tbtlIx'ng Hgejiry a the grain growers hav 5n cu.tei ip'vth.rO v ' r It U fouter.ded ' 'that.

We are told that U wlil b ysjb ja tllirt

ft. to arbiträr' and oppressive priced fliing from Its legitimate use of orderlng and stabilizing the flow of farm products to the market, to the mutual benefit of producer and consumer. I have no apprehensions on this point. In the first place, a loose organization, such as any union of farmers must be at best, cannot be so arbitrarily and promptly controlled as a great corporation. The one Is a lumhertng democracy and the other an afrtl? autocracy. In the second plnce, with all possible power of organization, the farmers cannot succeed to any great extent, or for any considerable length of time, In firing prices. Tho great law 61 supply and demand works in various and surprising - ways, to the undoing of the best laid plans that attempt to foil it. In the third place, their-power will avail the fanners nothing If It be abused. In our iim and country power is of value to Hp possessor only so long as It Is not abused. It Is fair to say that I have seen no signs lu responsible quarters of a disposition to dictate prices. There seems, on the contrary, to be a commonly beneficial purpose to realize a stability tbat:' will giv- an orderly and abundant flow of farm products to the consumer'and ensure reasonable and dependable ' returns to the producer. In view of the supreme Importance to tiie national well-being of a prosperous and conte'nted agricultural population, we should be prepared to go a long way In assisting the. farmers f get an equitable share of the wealth they produce, through the Inauguration of .reforms4 that will procure a continuous and Increasing stream of farm products. They are far from getting a fair 6hare now. Considering his capital and tbe long hours of labor put In by the average farmer and his family, he Is remunerated less than any other occupational class, with the possible exception of teachers, religious and luy. Though we 'know tbut the present general distress of the farmers U exceptional and i linked with the Inevitable economic readjustment following the war. It must be remembered thaj, although i representing one-third of Ihe lndustrialiroduct and half the total population of the nation, the rural communities ordinarily enjoy but'ja fifth to a. quarter of the net annual national gain. Notwithstanding the taste of prosperity that the farmers had during the War, there is today a lower standard of living among the cotton farmers of the South than In any other pursuit in the country. In conclusion. It seems to me that the farmers are chiefly striving 'for a generally benefldai integration of their business, of the same kind and character that other Jbusiness enjoys, if it should be found on examination that the attainment of this end requires methods different from those which other activities have followed for the same purpose should we not sympathetically consider the plea for the risht to co-operate. If only- fivüa our own enlightened self Interest, in obtaining an abundant and steady Mow of farm products? In examining the agricultural sltua Hon with a view to Its Improvement, we shall be most helpful' if we maintain a detached and judicial viewpoint, remembering that existing wrongs may be chiefly an accident of unsymmetrlcal economic growth Instead f u creation of malevolent design and conspiracy. W'e Americans are prone, as Professor David Friday well says In his admirable book, "Profits, Wages and Prices," to seek a "criminal intent behind every difficult and undesirable economic situation. I can positively assert from my contact with men of large affairs, Including bankers, that, a a whole, they are endeavoring t fulfill as they soe them the obligations that go with their power. Preoccupied with the grave problems and heavy tasks of their own lumiediate affairs, they have not turned their, thoughtful personal attention or their constructive ahilltle to the lenIenote of agricultural business, organization. Agriculture. It may be said, suffers fr..m their preoccupation aud negleu rath it than from any purposeful exploitation bv tiie:n. Tbev ought now to begin to respond to tbe farmers' dlfliculties, which they must realize are their wn. on the other hand, my contacts with the farmers have Mied me with respect f,r thorn for their sanity, their p:itieuee. their balance. Within the las: ve:ir. and particularly at a meeting -:il'ed by the Kansas State Hoard of Agriculture and ''at another called by the Vmmittec of Seventeen, I have im: many of the leaders of the new farm movement, ami I - testify, in all -sincerity that they are endeavoring to deal w i I ! i tiieir problem, not us pro luoter of . narrow class interest, not as eApIoIters of tbe hapless consumer, rt tnercile monopolists, but as j ;ics: tnent hei.t on the.Improvemen' ,,f the co-urn ii weal. We :üi and must meet such men and uh a nibe half way. Their
