j. s. REPORT

The Press of yesterday contained
an Associated Press dispatch which
if it has not been read should be read
and filed away by every farmer in
Imperial Valley. 1t is a synopsis of a
report presented to President Wilson
by the U. S. Federal Trade Commits
sion dealing with its investigation in
to the strides the meat packers are
making looking to domination by them
NOT MERELY OF THE MEAT IN
DUSTRY, BUT OF THE OTHER
IMPORTANT PERISHABLE FARM
PRODUCTS OF THE NATION. The
report says that the BIG FIVE now
jointly or separately control STA
companies in addition thereto hold un-
determined interests in almost two
hundred others; that they CONTROL
BANKS from which their competitors
borrow; that their plants assume the
character of wholesale grocery stores
and that their DOMINATION ; OF
IMPORTANT FOODS in the United
States seems certain unless FUNDA-
MENTAL ACTION is TAKEN TO
PREVENT 1T.

The Press thinks that the dairymen
of Imperial Valley should weigh well
and carefully the surface indications
that the hand of j. M. Henderson, Jr.,
Sacramento, is the hand of the meat
packers seeking to control the milk
industry of California thru the con-
troll of bond issues for which the
farmers have mortgaged their pro-
duce for term of years.
Mr.. Henderson is reputed million
aire, and his wealth and the millions
of capital and profits his bank con-
trolls have been made not by farming
the farm, but by farming the farmer
He is the type of man that the meat
trust has to do its work everywhere
