Now that the farmers are stirring, thinking, and uniting as never before to eradicate these inequalities, they are subjected to stern economic lee lures, and are met with the accusation that they are demanding. and are the recipients of, special privileges. Let us see what privileges the government has conferred on the farmers. Much has been made of Section 6 of the Clayton Antitrust Act, which pur- ported to permit them to combine with immunity, under certain conditions. Admitting that, nOminally, this ex- empti0n was in the nature of special privilege. I think it was so in appearance rather than in fact,-we find that the courts have nullitied 1t by judicial Interpretation. Why should not the farmers be permitted to- ac- complish by cooperative methods what other businesses are already doing by cooperation in the form of incorpora- tion? If It be proper for men to form, by fusion of existing corporations or otherwise, a corporation that controls the entire production of a commodity, or a large part of 1t, why Is 1t not proper for a group of farmers to unite for the marketing of their common products, either in one or in several selling agencies? Why should 1t be right for hundred thousand corporate shareholders to direct 25 or 30 or 40 per cent of an industry, and wrong for a hundred thousand cooperative farmers to control no larger prOpor- tion of the wheat crop, or cotton, or any other product?
 The Department of Agriculture Is often spoken of as a special concession to the farmers, but In its commercial results. 1t Is of as much benefit to the buyers and consumers of agricultural products as to the producers, or even more. I do not suppose that anyone opposes the benefits that the farmers derive from the educational and re- search work of the department, or the help that 1t gives them in working out improved cultural methods and prac- tices. in developing better yielding va rieties through breeding and selection, in introducing new varieties from re mote parts of the world and adapting

Let us, then, consider some of the farmers grievances, and see how far they are real In doing so, we should remember that, while there have been, and still are, instances of purposefuI abuse, the subject should not be ap- 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 modernized.
 An ancient evil, and a persistent one, is the undergrading 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 poTrant scare Tn these days of busi- ness integrity would seem almost in credible, but there is much evidence that it 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, 1t 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 justI- fcation. To cite single illustration. Last year, according to figures attest ed by the railways and the growers, Georgia watermelon-raisers received on the average 7.5 cents TOT a melon, the railroads got 12.7 cents for carry ing it to Baltimore and the consumer paid one dollar, leaving 79S cents for the service of marketing and its risks, as against POP cents for growing and transporting. The hard annals of farm-life are replete with such com mentaries on the crudeness of pres ent practices.

potato acreage; next year Che punish ed farmers mass their fields on some other crop, and potatoes enter the class of luxuries; 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 na- tional 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 a 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 CTS 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 if 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 it reasonable to hope for that condition unless our greatest and most basic in. dustry can be put on a sound and solid permanent foundation? The farmers are not entitled to special privileges i; 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?

:S that the farmers -'go. :, '.e finished within two or three months of the year, while financial and storage limitations gen. erally compel him to sell them at the same time. As a rule, other industries are in 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- nity; but If the farmer restricts his output, 1t 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 to entrust storage-in warehouses and elevatorS-and the financial carrying of their products to others.
 Farm products are generally mar keted at a time when there is a con- gestion of both transportation and f1nance-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, f1nanc- ing, and ultimate marketing-which charges they claim, are often exces- sive, bear heavily on both consumer and producer, and are under the con trol of those performing the services. It is true that they are relieved of the risks of a changing market by selling at once but they are quite will ing to take the unfavorable 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 if 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.
