Marketing machinery already %in
operation, which meets their particular
demands. should be utilized to the
fullest extent" DR.. Coulter said, going
on to say that in the matter Of proper
ly handling the surplus products which
slut the market and cause the bot
tom to fall out of it, all past or pres
ent systems have failed, and]thatfft-
Is up to the producers to, organize in

ing number of the opening days pro-
gram OF the biggest show of its kind

W. c. Edmundson, government po-
italo expert from Washington, p. c..
who.is to be here to address the meet
ing this evening, is expected to be the
leading attraction Of the final days
program. ,..
Discussing the recent agricultural
conference, which he took part In at
Washington. DR.. Coulter explained the
action Of the conference in not ask
Ing the government to guarantee the.
price of farm products. 1t "a pointaS
ed out, he said, that farmers have al
ready been debated, and that what is
needed now is deflation in other lines
and the granting Of sufficientGcFedit
to European buyers to enable the sur
plus American products to be disposed
Of there. r
The immediate stimu ,ation OF for
eign purchases will meet the present
emergency, DR.. Coulter said, but 10
care for the situation from year to
year calls for a system or orderly mar.
keting controlled by the prptA, GERS.
This, he said, can be done without a
great deal Of difficulty In speaking
further Of the need for farmers to
control the surplus, the speaker said
THAT while there is not necessarily any
more scal1ywags among the middle
men than IN other lines. it happens to
be a fact that unlike other lines there
IS no means by which they can be
weeded out. Steps must be taken TO
prevent fxtortion."
1t wal DR.. Coulter's belief that
farmers are capable Of taking charge
OF this great problem" There is a hiil
now before congress which, il passed.
will provide the necessary credit with
which to properly organize for the.
control of.sthiss balance of power. .the
speaker concluded.
