Farmer
TO City Buyer,
Governor SAYS
Would Avert Food Shortage
and Price Fluctuation by
Better Distribution, He
Tells State Fair Audience
Approves Grange and Labor
Associations, but Warns
Against Abuse of Power
Special Dispatch 70 The Tr;b.n.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 1S.--Im-
prcvement Of the system OF distribu-
tioas between tho producer and the con-
sumer is one of the biggest economic
problems facing the public, Governor
Miller said to-day in an address de-
Evered at the State Fair here. Means
must be found, continued the Gov
vernors Ito stabilize conditions and
prevent gluts and shortages, with their
attendant waste and fluctuations Of
price from which the speculator alone
profits"
declared that labor and farmers or
xanizations are necessary in 30 far as
they are devoted to solving economic
problems, but, he added, "when either
attempts to exert political power they
attempt that which Is hostile to Amer
lean institutions and is certain to re-
suit to their disadvantages" Co-opera-
tira efforts by the farmers in market
ing their produce, he asserted, offered
a remedy for the present inefficient
system Of distribution.
{Governor Miller pointed out that the
value of farm property in the state
has nearly doubled in twenty years,
reaching the sum of $1,900,000,000 in
1920, and that the value of farm crops
has more than doubled in ten years,
reaching SALT 100000 last year. "The
New York farmer is not going back
ward" he said, "but is striving with
marked success to meet the necessities
OF our rapidly increasing urban popu-
lation.
Problem In Three Sections
"As see It, the problem. Of distri-
button divides into three heads: Stand
ardfzation and storage of products;
transportation, and markets and mar
keting.
"Private enterprise should be stimu-
lated to provide more adequate storage
facilities, which naturally will be ac-
companied by better grading and
Standardization of products. This is
an appropriate field for cooperative eff
fort, and while something Is already
being doHe vastly more can be accom-
pHshed by such effort. This leads me,
however, to utter one word of warning
Al few rash undertakings or unfor-
tunate experiments may set back the
cooperative movement many years
We must be content to make haste
slowly
s'The state not only permits but en-
courages cooperation among producers,
but the public will suffer from the
abuse of the power to cooperate, and
such abuse will inevitably defeat the
very purpose of cooperation. The goal
to be attained is plain. Wasteful and
obsolete methods must be eliminated.
S"Goods must be standardized SO that
the producer may receive adequate
compensation for exactly what he sells
and the purchaser will know exactly
what he Is buying. Storage facilities
must be provided so that the farmer
may do what every successful busi-
ness has to do-fnance himself over
periods Of plenty and apply business
mHthods to the marketing Of his prod
ucts."

HaUe Easy Sailing
Against Verdenites

While "Stiney" Steinberger held
the opposing batsmen at his mercy,
the Chickasha high schoolers hit
timely and, assisted by a liberal
number of Verden errors won a 10 to
2 decision over the Verden town
team yesterday afternoon. The game
was played at Verden.
The students found Crum, veteran
Verden hurler, for ten bingles while
Steinberger allowed only four. One
of the four blows off the student
pitcher was a homer by Graham,
Verden shortstop. "Stiney" evened
things up, however, with two three
base blows.
Crum had weak support in pinches
his teammates making six errors,
twice the number stacked up against
the Chickasha team, in charge of
Kelley De Busk, assistant coach.
