control bill be so amended as to re
quire the administration to fix price!
on what the farmer buys as well a:
what he sells, and that if prices are
to be fixed it should always be done
on the basis Of cost OF production anC
not in the way the law is now being
administered. He called attention t.
how the railroads, the meat packers
the. sugar retiners, the millers and ir
fact every industry was practically
guaranteed certain profit; but that
prices were fixed on farm products and
livestock without due consideration
to the cost OF production. The great
difficulty, Mr.. Sykes told the commit
tee, was that the men who fix prices
only think and reason in terms OF the
consumer not seeming to realize tina!
II the producer is continually losing
money lie will soon cease to pro
duce and the consumer will have
nothing to consume, whether the price
be high or low. .:..
Mr.. Sykes stated that the committee
seemed to be! very much interested
and asked him many questions, and
that after the meeting was over Sena-
tor Gore who is chairman, informed
him that amendments would be pre-
scented along the lines he had recon-
mended. 800
Mr:ssSykes stopped over in Chicago
on his way home and took up the car

ance that the livestock business would
be taken care of at once In Iowa on

cially on the Northwestern, stating
that orders had been issued to give
Iowa 500 stock cars daily until the
congestion was relieved.

Washington and Chicago where h
spent ten days in the interests of tn
farmers and stockmen in vigorous Ell
fort to secure some relief from the ar
parent embargo that has existed TO
the last sixty days on both grain ant
livestock cars.
Mr.. Sykes took up tho matter of ca
service and transportation for corn ant
livestock with President Wilson ant
Director General McAdoo; and urget
and insisted that Iowa farmers ant
feeders must have immediate relic
from this critical situation that nov
confronts them.

OF the meat and food administration
trying to show them the imperative
need Of advancing the price of these
fat cattle at once. in order to save the
feeding industry from serious loss anG
disastrous results which in turf
would bring meat famine on the
world.
Mr.. Sykes says that he believes thai
everyone from the president down
|realizes the very critical situation con
fronting the farmers of the middle
west, and that all have promised him
to do all in their power to see to il
at once that facilities are provided to
ship out both the corn and the live
stock that is now ready for market
Since his return he has stated he feels
more encouraged over the outlook.
Mr.. Sykes called the presidents at.
tentiOn to the great scarcity Of farm
labor and the imperative need of main.
tanning prices on farm products and
livestock commensurate with the cost
OF production as the most logical
means OF increasing the food supply.
Tho president, he says, is q good list
ener and makes one feel perfectly at

us he would give these matters his
serious consideration.
Mr.. McAdoo assured him that he
would do all he could to help US out
and directed him with a letter of intro.
duction to Mr. Chambers, director Of
traffic, and Mr.. Summerville, who has
charge of the relocating OF cars and
emergency service. Both Of these
gentlemen assured Mr.. Sykes that they
would get busy at once and help us
