middlemen for the high cost OF food

The president did not mention re
cent petitions to him TO declare an en-
barge on expectation OF foodstuffs
from the United States TO the rest OF
the world and he did not refer even In
directly TO the outcome OF the presi-
Dental election. His address was In.
terrupted frequently by applause from
the farmers attending the fiftieth an
niyersary celebration of the founding
Of the grange.

that some OF the most interesting
problems OF our life and OF the life OF
the world lie before us, problems IN
connection with which the farmers OF
the United States will play a part such
as they have never played before.
ut goes without saying that the
physical life OF the nation has always
depended upon the farm. II goes with
out saying, also. that to a large extent
the physical life OF the world has
drawn its sustenance from the great
areas OF farmland In the United States.
We have sent food to all parts OF the
world, and the American farmer has
contributed TO the life of all the coun-
tries of the world. But you know that
