James A. Patton, the wheat king. 'sThe
farmer would suffer immeasurably. He
would get less for his grain, cattle and
hogs. and the public would pay more.
In fact the trade would be paralyzed. I
have no idea. though. that congress
will pass such q law The trouble is
that people are prejudiced because they
don't understand the vast benefits of
the system. One thing sure, II dealing
In futures is prohibited, you will see a
