EeogFaphy of the United States" de-
clared Herbert C. Hoover. Secretary
Of the Department OF Commerce, be-
fore the executive committee and
delegates Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation yesterday.
Railroad rates bear an intricate
relation to our national prosperity
and unless they are lowered quickly
there will be a decided shifting OF
the agricultural industry. Our pres
ent rates will soon move our grana-
ries to foreign shores. for today 1t
costs 80 cents per bushel to snip
grain from Missouri to New York.
while the same amount can De
shipped by water to Argentina for
10 cents a bushel. We should take
a lesson from Europe. Those coun-
tries that have developed industry

fmperiled their national defense and
even, their civilization. We cannot
afford to depend upon overseas Tor
our food, for ii undermines our
basic industry. he said.
Must Develop Farming.
Continuing, Mr.. Hoover declared:
.It would not be right to protect our
foreign commerce without giving
attention to the development and
production Of our agriculture. II we
neglect this. we will place ourselves
in the same Iamentable condition
that a number of European coun-
tries are today
-Durfng the war we had extreme
paternaIism. The American Farm
bureau Federation comes from the
,pedpIe itself. Paternalism will de-
stroy the basis of progress ana
growth IL continued in peace times
The conference, which had the
subject of transportation under con-
sideration. was told by Chairman
Clark, Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. that railroad rates are
AT their peak now. ANY effort to
increase rates would result in loss
of revenue" he said.
Work Is Panaeea.
Speaking Of the interrelation Of
farmers interests with those of
other industries. Chairman CLARK
said: We will never recover from
economic debacls until We all work
together. The farmer is back to
prewar level. so far as bread grains
are concerned. but in the cities We
still pay the same old price for 3
loaf of bread"
