FARMERS WANT
ONLY JUSTICE
STATE FARM BUREU Fedora
TfON SAYS THEY DESIRE
CREDIT. NOT STRIKE.

Huron, Nov 9.-The South Dakota
farm bureau federation has not ad-
vised it's farmers to take part in any
socalled wheat strike"
Since the recent announcement
that wheat strikes were be-
ing called in variou states by
grain growing bodies. p j Gran
dali secretary of the South Dakota
farm bureau federation. has been be
sieged with inquiries as TO what at
titude the South Dakota organization
has taken in the matter. Mr.. Gran
dali saws that he does not believe il
necessary nor desirable to call
strike.
He said "Our method OF handl-
ing the situation is 10 supply farmers
with accurate information regarding
the wheat market to help them in de-
termining what action is best for
their needs. Farmers doubtless will
withhold their wheat from market
until they can get the cost of produc-
tion if they are able to get credit so
they can carry the product. We be-
llENE IL NoAld DE DEAAEi AOA Aht NO1A
try if credit necessary to handle the
wheat were given to farmers right
now rather than to SPECTATORS. LII Is
perfectly evident that so far as the
whole country is concerned the total
credit asked is the same in either
case. We are advising our farmers
that the world wheat situation war
rants holding the crop IL credit al
lows. in the meantime using our best
efforts to help bring financial relief
E. II. Cunningham. secretary or
the Iowa farm bureau. has been wide
ly credited with having advised
wheat strike among Iowa farmers.
| Mr.. Cunningham gave an interview
| in which he spoke of farm crops SELF
! ing below the cost of production and
expressed the hope that Iowa farmers
would refrain from dumping their
| crops on the market. This was her
| aided as a call to strike. NO farm
bureau is calling a strike. The Iowa
| farm bureau did not. However, sucn
| advice as the farm bureaus have been
able to give will help check wholesale
| marketing and should eventually
have an affect upon prices.
Secretary Crandall points out fuF-
| ther that the world shortage OF wheat
and the fact that this country has al
raedv sold its surplus indicate better
prices TO come and probably warrant
| the average farmer in holding ms
| wheat off the market at the present
time if it is possible for him to do SO.
The farmer is entitled to credit
| for this purpose, and the same
amount of credit will be used wneth-
er the wheat is held by the farmer
or by the Speculation. Credit extend
ed TO the productive farm on wheat
held there in storage is safer and bet
ter business for the whole country
than credit extended 10 the speeula-
! tor who makes his money whoily
| from market fluctuations.
The best interests of the nal on
| demand that the advance go into the
hands OF the growers to cover cost OF
production rather than TO the spec
ulator who contributes nothing to the
value of the wheat nor TO the weal5h
of the country"
