A NEW ROLE FOR THE FARMER

XVIHEAT farmers, according to a report from the
w Middle West, are holding their wheat from
the market in order 10 force higher price.
Naturally the first thought Of the city dwsIlsr s
that the farmers have joined the ranks Of the
brofitesrs and that This means dsarer bread.
Such conclusion does not necessarily follow
For years the farmers have had a more or less
legitimate complaint against The methods Of market

farmer wnen be was selling wheat Then, after the
wheat was In he hands Of the SPECTATORS the mar

air prics for the sertee.
There has always been q measure o. Truth In ne
dharEeS The nilddlemen did take advantage Of the
fact that most farmers had to market thelr crop At
sioul Ire SINE time, ether to pay de6t OF because
the average fam had no facilities for keeping wheat
For several years the farmer has enjoyed hlgh
money prizes for wheat For the same period he
has experienced difficulty h getting cars to deliver

working together have sncOunged-ln fact, com

II famers are holding wheat of the market Il
t-fof one reason, At leayt-becaue they are able

farmer can bold his wheat and take advantage q

10 raise more wheat
A more even distribution Of wheat-seIlng by
farmers would lessen the mtddeman's opportunity
for hEying the market at either end.
When the farmer holds his Wheat he may perfectly
wen be performing the legitimate service Of the
mlddIeman. II 50, he deserves the reward for that
service.
If farmers can eqnEze wheat deliveries in any
considerable measure, Il Is not impossible the result
may be lower average price for bread and higher
average price for wheat sold from the fam. Both
would be desirable.
II may be that tire hard case Of the farmers who
couldn't get cars In other years may eventually WORK

! NJ. Warburg, New York banker and
former member of the federal re-

terview here today. Warburg and
other bankers meeting here today
hope to complete plans for the cor
poration before night. tJ
"'The United States has to organize
itself to render service to the world"
said Warburg. "And on the other
hand, the degree to which we can
realize our power depends on foreign
countries.
Europe tn that respect is a nu-
cleus. for, unless Europe can buy
Argentine goods, Argentine cannot
buy United States products.
"Our ability to break the deadlock
depends on two things:
First, on our mobilization for the
task and the degree to which we can
mobilize our financial resources. =
Second, ON Europe's ability to Gre
ate conditions which are prerequisite
for extension of credits on a large
scale"
Warburg endorsed the views Of
Herbert Hoover and John McHugh,
New York banker, that Europe must
settle the German indemnity in an
intelligent way. ---~r , .r,ss ....U
I'VE must also have an actual
peace restored" he said.
Warburg expressed the belief that
the corporation will be beneficial to
farmers.
THE farmers should be behind the
corporation, for its effect will be to
help setting idle hands in foreign
countries to work and 10 feed empty
storachs, and in doing that our ex-
cess supplies will be moved from our

Capitalization of plans and ideas
for the formation of the corporation
is expected to be reached at today's
