man it will hurt, the governor believes,
is the middleman.
Mr.. Hardings theory Is that the

this country is inefficient. either thru
lack Of organization or design. The
ideal jobbing system would take all the
food that is raised off the farmers

Too Much Waste.
The systems weakness, Mr.. Hard
ing thinks, is that it pays more atten1

Goes to eliminating food waste. The
jobbers, he thinks, buy only that pro-
portion of the whole produced product
as can be sold at established prices,
leaving the rest to unorganized mar
