Let us, then, consider some Of the
they are real In doing so, we should
remember that, while there have been,
and still are, instances OF purposeful
abuse, the subject should not be APP
preached with any general imputation
to existing distributive agencies of de-
liberately intentional oppression, but
rather with the conception that the
marketing of farm products has not
been modernlzed.
An ancient evil and a persistent
one, is the undergradlng of farm prod
ucts, with the result that what the
farmers sell as of one quality is re-
sold as of higher. That this sort of
chicanery should persist on any I'm
portant scale in these days of bust
ness Integrity would seem almost In
credible, but there is much evidence
that IL does so persist. Even as |
write, the newspapers announce the
suspension of several firms from the
New York Produce Exchange for ex-
porting to Germany as No. 2 wheat a
whole shIpload Of grossly inferior wheat
mixed with oats. chaff and the like
Another evil Is that of inaccurate
weighing of farm products, which, II
is charged, is sometimes a matter of
dishonest intention and sometimes of
protective policy on the part of the
local buyer, who fears that he may
"weigh out" more than he weighs in"
A greater grievance is that at pres
ent the field farmer has little or no
control over the time and conditions
of marketing his products. with the
result that he Is often underpaid for
his products and usually overcharged
/, for marketing service. The differ
ence between what the farmer re-
ceives and what the consumer pays
often exceeds all possibility Of justl
hcation, To cite single illustration.

harass the consumer. One year pota.
toes rot in the fields because Of excess
production, and there Is a scarcity OF
the things that have been displaced
TO make way for the expansion Of the
potato acreage; next year the punish
ed farmers mass their fields on some
other crop, and potatoes enter the
class OF Injuries; and so on.
Agriculture is the greatest and fun
damentally the most important Of our
American industries. The cities are
but the branches Of the tree of ma
ttonal life, the roots Of which go deep
lv into the land. We all flourish or
decline with the farmer. SO, when we
of the cities read Of the present uni
versal distress Of the farmers, of
slump of six billion dollars in the farm
value of their crops In single year,
of their inability to meet mortgages or
TO pay current bills, and how, seeking
relief from their ills, they are plan
ming to form pools, inaugurate farm
ers' strikes, and demand legislation
abolishing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
heretics and highwaymen, and hurl at
them the charge Of being seekers of
special privilege. Rather, We should
ask II their trouble Is not ours, and
see what can be done to improve the
situation. Purely from self-interest,
If for no higher motive, we should
help them. All Of us want to get back
permanently to "normalcy;" but is 1t
reasonable to hope for that condition
unless our greatest and most basic in
dustry can be put on sound and solid
permanent foundation? The farmers
are not entitled to special privileges;
but are they not right in demanding
that they be placed on an equal foot
Ing with the buyers Of their products
and with other industries?

Last year, according to figures attest.
cd by the railways and the growers,
Georgia watermelon-raisers received
on the average rs cents for a melon,
the railroads got 1877 cents for carry
ing 1t to Baltimore and the consumer
paid one dollar, leaving 79s cents for
the service of marketing and Its risks,
as against 202 cents for growing and
transporting. The hard annals Of
farm-life are replete with such com
mentaries on the crudeness Of pres
ent practices.
Nature prescrIbes that the farmers
goods" must be finished within two
or three months Of the year, while
financial and storage limitations gen.
orally compel him to sell them at the
same time AS rule. other Industries
are In a continuous process of finish
ing goods for the markets; they dis
tribute as they produce, and they can
curtail production without too great
injury to themselves or the commu-
nifty; but II the farmer restricts his
output, Il is with disastrous conse
quences, both to himself and to the
community.
The average farmer is busy with
production for the major part of the
year, and has nothing to sell. The
bulk Of his output comes on the mar
ket at once Because of lack of stor.
age facilities and OF financial support
the farmer cannot carry his goods
through the year and dispose of them
as they are currently needed. In the
great majority of cases, farmers have
elevators-and the financial carrying
Of their products to others.
Farm products are generally mar
keted at time when there is con.
gestion of both transportation and
finance-when cars and money are
scarce. The outcome, in many in
stances, Is that the farmers not only
sell under pressure, and therefore at
a disadvantage, but are compelled to
take further reductions in net returns,
in order to meet the charges for the
service of storing, transporting, financ.
ing, and ultimate marketing-which
charges they claim, are often exces-
sive, bear heavily on both consumer
and producer, and are under the CON
troll of those performing the services
1t is true that they are relieved of
the risks Of changing market by
selling at once but they are quite will
ing to take the unfavorabe chance,
If the favorable one also is theirs and
they can retain for themselves a part
of the service charges that are uni
form, in good years and bad, with
high prices and low.
While, in the main, the farmer must
sell, regardless of market conditions,
at the time of the maturity OF crops,
he cannot suspend production in toto.
He must go on producing If he Is to go
on living, and II the world is to exist
The most he can do is to curtail pro-
duction a little or alter its form, and
that-because he Is in the dark as TO
the probable demand for his goods
may be only to jump from the frying
pan into, the fire, taking the consumer
with him.
Even the dairy farmers, whose out
put is not seasonal, complain that they
find themselves at a disadvantage In
the marketing of their productions,
especially raw milk, because of the
high costs of distribution, which they
must ultimately bear.

You are wrong, Brother Mitchell.
There is no split in tho organization.
except that Mr.. johnson has adopted
feb himself the policy of sitting IN

umn Of thirteen million Negro citizens
as their political lender He has adopt
cd the policy Of running with the lily

the policy Of vacillation and surrender
and there Is no personal break bctwcc !
the Editor and Mr.. Johnson. 1t is 10;
that We love the Colonel less. but that
we love the rights Of our group more
than we do the personal ambition Of
any one individual.
II is Gu2"rion OF Irircirlr win us
that cnvOlvcs the entire races political
status for all time to come. We arc
thinking in terms OF a thousand years
and not OF n political meal for one man
We love Mr.. Johnson and wi serve
him personally whenever we can: but
we cannot subscribe to his political
leadership; we cannot adopt nor fol
low his policies; we belive in no sur.
render OF our rights to any man or set
Of men. The rights Of all first and jobs
for the individuals last.
Mr.. Johnson is a public servant and
directly accountable TO the Republicans
OF Georgia; and if the President has
not treated him right-and the coun,
try knows tit is his business to re
port to us and let us fight his battle
and not HcquicSce in or surrender The
