PROPOSE PLAN TO
STABILIZE PRICES
OF FARM PRODUCTS
Plan Endorsed by South Da-
kota Legislature Would
Have Government Guaran-
tee Price to Farmers and
Purchase the Surplus.

Pierre, S. D., Aug 8 A plan.
which it exponents claim would stab
ilize the prices of farm products has
recently been presented to the Sen
ate Agricultural Committee at Wash-
ington. 1t has likewise passed the
lower house Of South Dakota legis-
lature and been endorsed by financial
and farming associations.
According to VIII H. Lyon of
Sioux Falls, S. D., the plans author,
it will not only stabilize the price
of farm products but will go further
and stabilize business in general, to
4 great extent.
In explaining the plan Mr.. Lyons
says:
1.-THE stabilization Llan would have
the National Government guarantee
to farmers the average cost Of pro-
ducing staple, non-perishable, crops
plus reasonable prcfit, by agreeing
to purchase whatever surplus re-
mains on hand at the end of the
crop year, delivered at certain CEN
trail terminals and at Il stipulated
minimum price
"This surplus in every staple crop,
except wheat and Gotten ,is 80 small
that the amount Of money required
would be insignificant in comparison
with the value of the entire cop.
III the surplus of any crop should
prove excessive, the stabilizing COM
mission, fairly representing both
producers and consumers appoint
ed by the President, would probably
reduce the price for the following
year and increase the price OF O.her
products In which a shortage might
exist and thereby induce our farm
.ers to increase production Of flax,
wool, and sugar which we now SO
largely import, at cost of several
hundred million dollars a year.
'The government under the plau
of such products and thru the stab
abroad, at the world price level, any
deficit required and sell to our man
ufacturers at not less than til. guar
anteed price (except that intended
for export) thereby making profit
OF the difference between the cost
and, selling price. >4 Speculation in
food PRODUCTS SO abhOrrent to the
general public would, OF course, be
eliminated below the
guaranteed price.
"Now, when the farmer succeeds
in producing crop he does not
know whether to sell, for fear the
price will go down, or hold for a
better market. Knowing in advance
the guaranteed minimum price OF
the various products, the farmer '.an
use his land and ability to the best
possible advantage and the renta!
and salable value of land will be
largely stabilized. The guaranteed
minimum price, of course, sh ,nd
not be made sufficiently high o in
duce speculation in farm lands or
produce an excessive surplus.
"Under the stabilizing plan the
farmers receive the same price re-
gardless of road conditions. in
der the present system the highest
price usually prevails when the roads
are bad or elevators congested and
delivery is difficult or impossible.
When these conditions improve the
price goes down."
