the following definite policies to which
the Republican party il committed:
-First-The need Of farm represen-
tation In larger government affairs Is
recognized.
"Second--The eight Of farmers 10
form cooperative associations for the
marketing Of their products must be
granted.
"Third - The Republican party
pledges itself to = scientific study Of
agricultural prices and farm produc-
ton costa, both 1t home and abroad,
with view Of reducing the frequency
Of abnormal fluctuations here.
"Fcurth--Wc promise To put an end
10 unnecessary price fixing Of farm
products and to i'll considered efforts
arbitrarily to reduce farm product
prices. Government drives against food
pricca such ~ we have experienced

and useless. Such drives simply give
the Spectator and the profiteer ad-
ditionAl opportunities to add to their
exactions.
"FiftA--Ws favor the administra-
ton Of the farm loan act 20 a. to
help men who farm to secure farms
Of their own and to give to them long
time credits, needed to practice the
