RESHAPING AGRICULTURAL
MARKETING

The Farm Bureau performed one Of its
greatest services for American agriculture
when it originated the commodity con-
ference idea. Out Of the national con-
fercnces OF growers have come commodity
committees. These committees have been
appointed by the President of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation to study all
the systems of marketing and to recon-
mend to the producers better methods Of
distribution whereby the grower Will get
more for his product and the consumer
will get better service or cheaper cost 1t
is significant that TO one OF the Farm
Bureaus commodity committees has not
gone far with its studies before the anwer
appeared in cooperative marketing.
The Farm Bureaus Commodity Con-
ferences have utilized cooperative mar.
keting in America. The result is that a
change is being made in the entire market
ing system OF the country.
Now Congress, largely through the
efforts OF the Farm Bureau, has placed the
Governments seal Of approval on the
farmers cooperative marketing program.
This has been done though the Cappcr-
Nolstead Cooperative Marketing Law,
the Packer Control Law, the Capper-
Tincher Grain Exchange Regulation Law,
and others. Both President Harding and
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace have
approved the Farm Bureaus Cooperative
Marketing Program, and it is going for
ward accordingly.
The Farm Bureau has held national
commodity conferences en- grain. live stock,
dairy products, fruit and vegetables, cot
ton, tobacco, wool, and sugar beets. These
conferences and the co operative marketing
organizations which follow in their train
are tie Farm Bureaus answer to the plea
Of its membership to solve the farmers
marketing problem to the everlasting ben
eft Of both producer and consumer

Extract from, Speech
by
Prof. Ralph H. Gabriel
Professor of History in Yale
University

In the early, formative years IN AineFi-
can history, when perhaps eighty or ninety
per cent of Americans got their living from
the soil, it was difficult for farmers to feel
that thew belonged to specialized class.
After the turn Of the nineteenth century,
however, when industry began to stride
forward in seven-league boots and giant
cities to appear, the men OF agriculture
began more and more clearly to see them
selves as an economic group apart. lhey
were specialists in a national division OF
labor of which the new capitalist and the
new wage-earner were the two other
most important elements. Farmers or
CARNATIONS appeared, the Grange, the
Farmers Alliance, the Agricultural Wheel
and finally the political organization called
the Populist party. The significance OF
these is to be found, not in their continued
failures, but in their aid to the Develop
ment OF 4 group consciousness, a pride OF
occupation and sense OF community OF
interest full Of significance for the future.
The last of them, the Populists, met
defeat in the election of 1896. Six years
before. in the census of 1890, the National
Government had recorded the passing OF
the frontier. In 1000, land values began
doubling and trebling with astounding
rapditv. The last decade in the nine
teenth century, therefore, distinctly marks
the passing of an epoch. With the begin
ming Of the twentieth century came the
movement destined to bring profound
changes to American life.
American citizens we're hardly prepared
to see, at the close of the recent political
contest, fraternizing and even coalition
between the hellgerents. Yet Congress
had scarcely gotten under way in Deem
her. 1920, when it became evident that the
Republicans of the West were uniting with
the Democrats Of the South with the
avowcd object OF enacting important
agrarian legislation. To the average
urban dweller in the eastern population
centers the thing was inexplicable-a nd
preposterous. "What basis has the farm
err" demanded an influential metropoli-
tan journal, for asking special favors not
granted by him to others in the COM
munity? Is not agriculture a business
like other businesses, and, as such, subject
to the same kind OF hazard" A Virginia
farmer answered the question:
We of the soil who have tended our
hocks and titled our land faithfully through
the last twelve months have been able,
aided by kindly Nature, to pour into the
larders of our city brethren all the food
staples needed to take away the haunting
fear of the high cost of living" =. OF
course We would like to continue to play
the role of food phianthropists- produce
food at a loss-but we cannot do it.
Therefore many OF us in the coming year
in spite of slogans such as Food Wins the
War" or Feed the Nation" or Feed
Starving Europe" will merely try to feed
the farmer. 1t behooves those then
/ who consume what we produce to eat
while the eating is good-and cheap.

Arizona is one of those big western
states. They only have about 1000 farm
ers, but they have 5000 of them in their
state Farm Bureau. As result of their
state organization, they recently got
together with the packers and in place of
shipping in outside beef to feed Arizona.
arrangements have been made whereby
the packers will be able to feed Arizona
farmers with Arizona beef.

Jim" is President and his last name is
Howard
John" is Secretary and his last name
is Coverdale.
Both are Iowa farmers who have been
chosen to head this new organization of
farmers which has been so much in the
limclisht lately. We tell about them in
particular for they are typical OF the other
officers of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. They are all farmers, actual
and substantial farmers, and the exact
opposite of professional aeftators and pro-
moters OF the type that have so often had
a hand in farm movements in the
past. And most persons think that much
OF the success of the Farm Bureau can
be traced to this simple but all-important
fact
Jim Howard was born and reared on an
Iowa farm. After leaving college he tried
his hand at teaching for awhile, spent
enough time in country newspaper Office
to recognize the smell now whenever he
encounters it, was cashier of a bank at
New Providence, Iowa, and for the last
fourteen years he mas done nothing but
farm on his 4S0-acre tract in Marshall
county, Iowa.
TNi,, Ta,rerI,lo fnA ye fr0r,, h.
where the tall corn grows" He gave
up his work as county agent leader in
Iowa to be Secretary Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
And although they both have glass
topped desks at-the Offices of the Fedora
ton at IS Z. Washington Street, Chicago,
they are seldom there, for most of their
time is spent out talking to the farmers
in different sections Of the country and
answering in a wholc-hearted tone the
greetings that are given them every
wheie-"Howdy, Jim" and "Howtly.
John"

Upon these two basic truths your whole
