HARDING INDORSES FARMERS' PLAN TO MARKET PRODUCTS

President Declares Public Should Encourage Better Distribution System. BY JAM. ES IHNES, Iirni Editor President Harding is squarely behind the farm bureau movement and 13 In full sympathy with It purposes. He makes. Ihis position per - fectly clear In a reIcent volume "Our (Common Country." jof which he is the author. In a chapter devoted to agriculture, among other things the president says: "I believe the American people, through their government and oth V 'Win : m erwise, not only in behalf of the farmer but In behalf of their own welfare, and trie pocketbooks of the consumers of America, will encourage, make lawful and stimulate co-operative buyir.g. cotive selling cf farm products. "But of late years there have sprung up farmer organizations of a ejulte different sort organizations with a very large membership, with an aggressive and Intelligent leadership, and with a way of raising whatever funds they may find necessary to promote the interest of thelc members. The leaders of these ye learning rapdly how rh adapt to their methods which buslne;w men have found successful in furthering their own interests. The grain growers of the west and northwest have become s-trong enough to bring about many changes they de-sired in the marketing of their crops. The farmers of the cornbelt states are rapidly perfecting the most powerful organization of farmers ever known In this country. All of these are natural developments in the evolving change of relationship and the modern com BtorRefrs STOCKS SHOW GAIN ON NEW YORK MART Prices Suffer Sharp Setback at Opening But Increase Toward Close. NEW YORK. Sept. 2. Further extensive reduction of the short account occurred in the stock market Friday, with resultant gains of 1 to 3 Point among leaders and more substantial advences in special issues. The cautious attitude of the bear faction seemed to be prompted by fear that events over the triple holiday might p.-ovo detrimental to their interests. Price suffered a sharp setback at the outset, Mexican oils reacting 1 to 3 points on advicee which suggested a hitch in the negotiations now under way between the Mexican government and foreign concessionaires. This was offset, however, by the strength of other oils, as well as steel, equipment, motor, leather, tobacco, sugar, shipping and chemical issue, rails also throwing, off their recent heaviness. Irregular Shading. Selling for profits caused an irregular shading of quotations In the final dealings, but many substantial gains marked the close, representative issues being leat affected In the realizing movement. Sales amounted to 525,000 shares. Call loans again held at 5H per cent, that rale applying as well to accommodations extending over to next Tuesday. Quotations for time money were unaltered, but In freer supply, with 5-ome demand for commercial paper A reaction of almost 4 cents in sterling and declines of 5 to 30 points in continental remittances occasioned no surprise among dealers in foreign exchange, where the recent advance was regarded as largely speculative. Trading In bonds diminished, but without impairment of recent gains. Recognized domestic and foreign issues were firm, and gains prevailed In the Liberty group. Total sales, par value, $9.250.000. WEAKNESS SHOWN ON WINDY CITY MARKET CHICAGO, Sept. 2. Closing of spreads between this market and Winnipeg, the selling operations being at this er.d, together with considerable profit-taking ra.les, exerted a weakening influence on wheat at the board of trade here today, and final prices were at the bottom, with net lcsse of 1214 being shown for the day. Lowering of cash wheat premiums anc the fact that export business dropped off entirely owing to yesterday's advance in prices also had an effect. Outside puprehases in the pit were lej?s extensive than on the former day and there was an absence of aggressive buying. The close was weak, with wheat lrz2 lower, corn 15 1 U down and oats K ft Vz lower. Corn advanced early, only to react later to under yesterday's finish, large country offerings and hedging sales llng a fictor, combined with a drop of 14 f? i in premiums in the sample market. Oats were s'ronger early and lower later with other grains. The outside trading was light. NUW YOR.K, Sept. 2 Last tations on the stock exchange p. rr.. iodiy. were: A. T. and S.

Unless we do deal more fairly there may com a conflict between the organized farmers in the surplus producing states an! thce who Insist on buying the!r crops bIow production coats. We hive witnessed the restricte'l pro-luction cf manufactures and of labor, but we have not yet experienced the intentionally restricted production of foodstuffs. Let us hope w r.r may. It Is our busing to produce and c.on5erve roi deny, deprive or destroy. "The need of farm representation in larger governmental affairs Is recognized. During the Inst seven years the right of agriculture to a voice In government administration has been practically ignored, and at times the farmer has suffered prlevcusly as a result. The farmer ha? a vital Interest In our trade relations with other countries, in the administration of our financial poll-

"The right of farmers to form co-operative associations for the marketing of their products mu.i be printed.

Through co-operative p.sociatior the route between the producer and the ed. Wasteful effort can and must consumer can and mut be Fhortenbe avoided. Unnecessary expense can and must be eliminated. It is to the advantage of all our people that every po5ible improvement be made In our methods of getting the products of our farms Into the hands of the people who consume them. The legitimate functions of the middleman may continue to be performed, by private enterprise, under conditions where the middleman if necessary and gives his skill to our joint welfare. The parasite in distribution who preys on both producer and consumer must no longer ap the vitality of this fundamental life."
