Claims Farmers Benefit

CHICAGO, June 6-Congress took

sleeves rolled up and his feet square

The farmer who some months ago
threw his rake in the marsh and
shouted, whats the use" has been

Tillers Of the soil, many OF them
on the verge Of bankruptcy for a
long, long while and unable TO bor-
row running capital, believe they
have started on new era Of pros

tricts Of the country completed by

The farming industry IS now on
an equal footing with the other
American industries" said J. W.
Cloverdale, secretary of the Ameri-
can farm bureau federation.
Prevent Dumping.
Farmers realize that the new
tariff will act on price deflation and
will prevent the dumping of cheap
foreign crops on the American mar
kets
The opportunities of the farmers
will be equalized with those of for
eien lands who secure their labor
at a cost vastly below that in this
country.
There has always been a feeling
among farmers that they were dis
eliminated against because most
other industries were protected an5
theirs was not This feeling has now
been removed; a new era has start
ed.
Cloverdale said that 100000
bushels of corn were exported last
year and 100000 imported. The
imported corn. he said, served as a
leverage to break prices leaving
losses instead Of profits.

BY United Press:
WASHINGTON. June 6.-Return
of the five cent loaf Of bread is a
near possibility throughout the
United states, Sec'y of Agriculture
Wallace said today.
Production costs are approaching
the pre-war rates. The question Of
the cheaper loaf soon will be direct
" up 10 bakers and grocers, Wallace
warned.
The average value Of the wheat
needed 20 make one pound loaf OF
bread now is one and seven tenths
cents" said Wallace. The average
retail price Of a pound loaf through
out the country is 10 and three
tentns cents.
Farmers are receiving for their
wheat only slightly more than in
pre-war days when bread custo-
marily sold for five cents a loaf
Flour prices are largely Debated.
.sThe Dig difficulties IL the way
OF the five cent loaf now are high
freight rates AMI high wages. When
these factors a-e reduced and the
labor cost Of transportation. mill

be no JUSTIFICATION for failure Of the

Bread prices at retail have been
reduced 10 percent through the
country in the last six months, ac-
cording TO the price data Of the
labor department.
In the same period the cost Of a
barrel OF flour at the mill has been
reduced from $500 TO IS a. barrel or
about Is percent
Retail and wholesale bakers thus
are getting practically all their
bread materials at prices far below
those OF six months ago.
Since movements are already I'M
