Farmers and
Railroads

JILL uC" ocCIcIdIy VI AST1cul-
ture put big truth in small
space when he told the National
Conference of Grain Growers at
Chicago:
"A plentiful supply of food at prices
which, are just to both producer and con-
sumef is vital to our national welfare,
and it is q proper function of the Gov
ernment to do what it can to insure it."
What can it do!
Secretary Wallace, at Chicago,
confined himself to pointing out the
value of accurate information sup
piled by Government experts to
farmers on market needs and mar
keting conditions.
Distribution of such information
would, indeed, be useful. Much of
the wonderful recent growth of
American agriculture has been due
to the Government farm literature,
lectures, and experimental work. No
outlay of public funds has been more
profitable.
Organization of farm loan banks
to provide long-term credit for ma
jor farm improvements has also
proved wise. There is growing sup
port for Federal method of financ-
ing short term farm credit needs.
But after the farmer has been
financed and has learned what crops
to raise and how to produce them
most efficiently, the greater problem
of transportation to market presents
a new obstacle to his reward.
So long as freight rates are so
high and freight service so uncertain
that crops capable of long distance
transport cannot pay the cost of
shipment or decay on the way pro-
duction will not thrive nor prices to
city consumers be adequately re-
duced.
That is the situation today, and
only the Government is able to
cure it.
Government for twenty-siX months
kept rates low and service and
wages high. Farm produce was then
moved not only from farm to home
cities but in great quantities across
the seas.
The net cost of Government opera
tion was less by far than the subse-
quent net cost of restored private
operation. Rates have since scared,
and farm produce has had a smaller
and smaller circle for marketing.
The Government should do what
it can and all it can to facilitate
the movement of all products of
American industry on land and sea-
Neither producers nor consumers
will fare well until the fundamental
service of transportation is made q
PUBLIC service.
The grain growers of America
would do well to make this a basic
part of their program.
