This conference would do most

methods. BY this, I mean that, in
the last analysis. legislation can do
little more than give the farmer
the chance to organize and help

The president then referred to
cooperative marketing. 1t should
be possible to afford to the farm
ers, he said, ample provision OF
law under which they may carry
on In cooperative fashion those
business operations witch lend
themselves. to that method. and
which, thus handled would bring
advantages to both the farmer and
his consuming public" The far
