Federal Farm Board Expended 750 Million Dollars with no Evident Re¬ lief to tho Farmer—Agriculture's Simple   Regimen   Appealing
Every year, .a few months before electlon-tlme, farmers wonder why the promises, m.ade them before tho last one, were not kepi, and frequently thalr resentment results in the jiollti- cal overthrow of tho promise-breakers. We are familiar with the workings of the faiTner-rnlnd. Thinking occurs ex¬ clusively In heads, and the thought or mind of any group consists only of! what the individu.als composing tho group entertain or mutually agree up¬ on, unless swayed by foolish oratory designed lo arouse passion or other emotions. To such oratory farm groups, and other groups living in farming districts, as well as Individuals living elsewhere, who think delllieraitcly, are almost 100 percent immune. It is some¬ thing like .sales-resistance. All that farmers have, is obtained deliberately. tiJO„,bo Co hcThiah—S Jli^ dif Months of thinking, planning, and work precede harvest. When it is se¬ cured, plans for its use are mature. While many salesmen of many com¬ modities have successfully seti.ai-.-ifod | farmers from a part of their prolits, | compjiratlvely little has been honestly secured for undosired iirtlcles. It is the success of the untniilifiu, unfiiir, friend that pl.aces the average f.ariner of the d.ay so little ahead of the sheriff. Nor does the machinery of the law aid against these false friends more than do the traps, etc., set iga,lnst other vermin, weasels, rats, ftnd the like, with which tho farmer !s,   alas,   too  fUmiliar.
Few city folk class farmers among tho idealists, yet there before voca- tiims offering greater opportunities to i observe the beauties of naluie, and natural beauty is as near truth as anything of which the human mind can conceive. The rmsy lights in the east at dawn, the calm serenity of the rising moon, the sunlight and shadow on the green gras,-? of the me.adows at even-tide combine to give him both surety and mental poise, lie observes growing plants, and singing birds; even the .'¦jimplo services he renders his cattle, s'heep, and swine iikspire the conviction that production or ser¬ vice is the price th.at all must pay for tho right to live. Tho very folk who jeer and jibe at Win, envy hiiiw 0'«i«eli moaning security to the city so¬ phisticate, every effort is bent to either prevent this getting hold of it, or to take It from him when he has il. The prolits rejiorted by tho tobacco, mill¬ ing, and milk tru.'»t.< atte.s-t some suc¬ cess. To retain enougli to balance those of commerce, linance, and industry is the farmer's problem.
Tho Iloover-Smlth campaign of a few years ago, stressed that jiroblem, the ]>ro)ilein. of how to restrain the unfair, uncthllcal, dishonest efforts to despoil the farmer. For one or more decades commerce, Hnaiice, and iu- dusti-y had been riotously prosperous— at tlie farmer's expense. Both parties wanted farm votes. Smith promised investigations; Hoover stated already known tacts. He said the spread be¬ tween production costs and costs to the consumt>r were too wide; that tlie distributors got too miieli. He would cliaiige all that and put farm prices on a party with these of industry. This got him the farm vote, and he was elected, lusleiid ot pi'oviidng an economical system of marketing. 700 niillioii dollars were wasted in the l''oderal l''arm Lkiaiil. It was the most gigantic ste.il in the agricultural world known up to then. So-c.illed farmers' cooperativi'H were se-t up; managed and controlled by distributors' iiitin-- ests so cleverly conceaU'd that even iiniiarllal ollielals believed the desires expresvsed by the.so cooperatives truly i-epreseiited the aspirations and lidpi'S of the producers. To these pa.jiulo- cooiierative were added so-called sla.li- jlization coi'poratdons and .sales, or marketing, agencies, all ostensibly for the beiielit of .the farmer. As, original¬ ly, were the Hairyniau't, Ijcague in New- York, and the Inti-r-state Milk I'ro- ducers' Association in the Philadelphia Milk Shed. In March of this year the l'\>deral lAirm LJoard was alxilished, and a suit to recover over one billion dollars from the .w-e.alled cooperatives operating imder il. I'alsiflcation and concealnient of biisiii'ss records, re¬ peat sales, on wliieii comiiiissloiis and profits were pocketed, and other dis- •lionest practises are charged. Also that farmers were advised to hold their products while their "protectors" sold the market .-Jhort. Upon the resultant disorganized market the farmei's were forced to sell at starvation prices. Is iti^'^y wonder today that the sole cliMfiiJions of tbe cooperatives today aclBjllre few favored friends oC the niaiiaiving officials who were in on the ground Jloor'.' The milk trust profits proved so enormous that the Federal ^Tradi' Commission is now investigat¬ ing them with fairness to all, but giv¬ ing favor to none. It may be that in¬ stead of trying to iudiislrialize agricul¬ ture, a llttlo of the honesty and hard work ncces.saO' to gain in agrieiiltuie may be Infused to Chose whose pros¬ perity in the jvast decadi! or tw'> wire obt.ained   by  its  explodtatlon.
President IJoosevelt has made few futeh mistakes. The opiiosltioii lo tlu< marketing agreeiiii'iits set uji In- tiie A. A. A., because some of tliein i'>'- flected notably llie luiddlenian's de¬ sires, may -be easily altered, with .luatlee to bmh pi. .lie .r .mil consumer.

It is still remote from the J!I2C level, making lo.iiis, interest and taxes almost unbear.ilile burdens, and the farmer, more than any otlier j^roup, is' worse off than before. Tlie .\. A. A. pro¬ poses prosperity for larnieis by redin-. ed jiroductlon, wiilch entails clss food, less clothing, i-pore leisure, more debt, all abhorrent to farm philosopliy.
