u, S, NOT TO INTERFERE BEFORE.
PACKERS MERGER IS COMPLETE
Market Bureau Chief
Seeks Sweet Potato
Freight Rate Revision

A rather detailed statement in
the nature of an appeal for an adj
justment Of rates on sweet potatoes
from Georgia and the southeastern
states to middle western points, has
been filed by L. B. Jackson, director
Of the state bureau of markets, with
the standing rate committee of the
Southern Freight association. Mr..
Jackson, acting on behalf of the
sweet potato growers and shippers
Of this territory, declares that the
freight rates now evisting are dis
criminatory, giving eastern sweet
potato growers and shippers de-
cided advantage over those of this
territory.
The statement points out that UNI
der present circumstances the
growers of this section cannot com
pete successfully with those of New
Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware.
What is desired is to obtain rates
comparative with those applying
from Virginia, Maryland, Delaware
and New Jersey to points approx
mately as far distant as from Geor-
ga, Alabama, Mississippi and Flor
ida.
Mr.. jackson declares that the
railroads were largely responsible
for the development of the sweet
potato industry in the southeast, and
that it should be to their advantage
to give such rates as will enable
the industry to prosper.

Nurse Found Bound
And Gagged Unable
To Recall Experiences

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 15.-Miss
Jennie Rogers, trained nurse, who
on Friday of last week was found,
bound and gagged, beside the tracks
of a suburban street car line near
Memphis, can remember nothing
from the time she went to a rail-
road depot here the previous Sun
day morning, until she regained con-
seriousness at a hospital last night,
she told police officials investigating
her five-day disappearance.
Miss Rogers, who has been semi
conscious since she was found by
the crew Of the street car, has been
unable to answer questions regarding
her disappearance until last night,
when her condition became much inn
proved. She said that she had no
recollection of writing the two letters
found on her, one to her mother, and
another to a friend here, begging
that she be rescued from a "mask-
ed man who had her in his clutches"
She told police that she remembers
going to the depot on Sunday morn

fixed in a world market. And.
if the world market is suddenly
unable to buy,a collapse in farm
prices is inevitable. The collapse
took place. The average net in
come of the American farmer
this year will be about $465, &C.
cording to Mr.. Gray. Silver, a
very moderate spokesman of the
farmers To make a bad mat
ter worse, the middleman has
succeeded in so stabiliZing prices
after the crop left the farmers
hands that the consumer derives
no benefit and his buying power
remains crippled.
But this does not. explain the
whole of the farmers troubles.
1t does not explain why he. has
suffered so much more than the
manufacturer who also produces
for world marke.. The answer
to that is that each farmer sells
his crop when he harvests it.
He can't afford to hold his crop.
He must sell it all at once, and
SO there is no bumper between
him and the world conditions to
soften the shock. He is unor-
ganized. He has little power to
finance himself. He must sell i'll.
dividually and under the worst
conditions. ,
This is the real difference be-
tween the business man and the
farmer. The business man, at
least the wholesaler, is organized
and we'll financed. He can af-
ford to wait. He can afford to
sell a little at a time and so
keep prices from falling too vio-
lently.
THE time has come for the
whole nation to recognize this
problem and deal with it as an
American problem, not as a sec
tional or a class problem. The
0 farmers should be encouraged to
organize comparatively and to
market their crops scientifically.
They should be financed gener-
Ously so that they can carry
their crops. Transportation IA
cilities should be radically i'm
proved both as to service and as
to cost, a thing which is not at
all impossible if the American
people set their minds to it. f.
THE answer to the farm bloc
is not to cry radical and run.
The answer is to meet. the grew
ance. The answer to the farm4
er's troubles is cooperative Or
ganization, adequate credit, less
tariff favoritism to industry,
railroad reorganization and a
foreign policy actively devoted to
the reconstruction of Europe"
The World, of course, has hit
the nail squarely on the head.
The answer is, as The Tri-
Weekly Journal has been say g,
ing for many months: COOP

No Decision on Legality Of
Business Can Be Made
Before Plans Are Carried
Out
BY j. C. ROYLE
Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright 1927

Copyright, 1922
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The Unit
ed States government cannot fur
nish business with legal advice.
Neither governmental departments
nor the executives can rule in ad.
vance on the legality of. course of
business action proposed by individ-
! ual corporation or commercial or
CARNATIONS. That was the message
| to business men in the announcement
| of the secretary Of agriculture that
there seems to be no occasion for
action at the present time" in con
nection with the proposed purchase
by Armour and company packers of
| the assets or Norris and company
rival packers.
The announcement of Secretary
Wallace, based as it was on the
opinion of Attorney General Daugh-
erty, was a, vigorous endorsement of
the stand maintained by the federal
trade commission that immunity
from possible prosecution could not
be guaranteed business in advance,
That stand was based on the factor
of intent.
One of the membels Of the COM
mission pointed out in illustrating
this point today that revolver in
the hands of a citizen might be used
as a defense against a burglar with.
out transgressing the law, and might
also be used in committing cold
| blooded premeditated murder, and
| that, while the terms Of a. merger or
consolidation might themselves be
entirely within the legal limits, the
operations of that merger might
tend to establish monopoly or re
Straint Of trade.
This ruling was regarded by bus
mess men here as especially signifi-
cant to trade associations and com
mercial organizations.
The commission has held that, in
general, trade associations were le-
ultimate outgrowths of business of
great possible value, but that they
held strong potentialities for evil
and that their actions could not
be judged in advance.
The declaration of the attorney
general that no action or opinion
on the legality of the Armour pur
chase seemed necessary at this time
was regarded by business men as
significant because, while, if the
Armour program is cOnIlneu 10 the
purchase of the physical assets OF
its competitor, it is possible that
while the consolidation might be be
yond the authority of the federal
trade commission or the secretary OF
agriculture under the packers and
stock yards act, it might be subject
to prosecution by the department OF
justice if it should result in q
monopoly in restraint Of trade.
The opinion was freely expressed
in packing circles in Chicago anG
elsewhere that the refusal of the
secretary of agriculture to give for
NAL approval or .disapproval of the
plan would not halt negotiations foI
the merger which involves approx
mately $500,000,0O0 in one way anG
another.
Condition of cattle growers al
over the country is reported slowly
to be improving. Slightly better
prices for stock are being quoted

Authorities today searched the ne

dangerously wounded Jerry Barbery,
when BaEbery resisted his attempts
to hold him up.
The negro entered the store and
asked to have a bill changed. AS
Barbery reached for his money sack
the negro made a grab for the
money. Barbery grappled with the
black, and in the scuffle was shot

COOPER TIVE MARKETING
Department Devoted to the Pool Selling of All Farm Products

istence have been assured all
the credit they need by the pa
triotic and wise director of the
War Finance corporation, MT.
Eugene Meyer. There is no way
of measuring the debt OF gratl-
tude the farmers of America
owe to that far-seeing man.
But the War Finance corpora
ton, as he, himself, has point
ed out so often, is temporary
expedient and must soon be
abolished or else reconstructed
as a permanent peace organiza-
ton.
Let the Harding administra-
ton prove it's profession of deep
interest in the farmer and his
plight by establishing a perma-
nent means for extending ade-
uuate credit to the farmer or
CARNATIONS.
1t is the most important mat
ter before the nation today.
There is a farmer in south
Georgia who took his cotton to
market early in August, and
sold it to q curb buyer. He had
eight bales, and the total weight
was 4O24 pounds. The buyer
classed this cotton as strict low
middling and paid him 10 IA
cents a pound. The farmer got
a check for $774.62. Now, as
matter of fact, that cotton was
middling and on the day the
farmer sold, was worth 10 ga
cents, instead of 10 IA. So the
farmer lost $20,12 by dealing
with that buyer, just on the
basis of undergrading.
If he had been a member of
the Georgia Cotton Growers Co
Operative association he would
have shipped his cotton to the
nearest warehouse of the asso-
citation. He would have got a
receipt for 4,024 pounds Of
middling cotton and a check for
$4SS.S2.
Then if he desired more ready
money, he could go to his bank
and borrow $50 a bale on his re-
ceipt, or $240. That would give
IllIIl CASH III Ildllu VI piSA'oo,
less the interest on his note to
the bank. This is about $50 less
than he got from the curb
buyer.
But that would not be the end
of the transaction. He had been
advanced IL cents a pound by
the association, and has borrow
ed 6 cents a pound from the as
ISOLATION, which makes eighteen
cents.
When the Georgia association
p finishes selling it's cotton, not
later than July 1 of next year,
the farmer would get six cents
a pound more, or $240.
So that farmer would have
lost $3.50 by not being a member
of the cooperative association.
Are OR farmers in position to
throw away $40 a bale?

BY EDWIN CAMP

NNE of the hopeful signs OF
the times is that the great
metropolitan newspapers
of the country are beginning to
awaken to the fact that lack of
prosperity among the farmers is
a menace to the republic. ..
Take the following excerpts
from an editorial in the New
York World cf last Sunday:
eTHE FARMERS GRIEV-
1.-The trouble which has pro-
duced the farm bloc in congress
and a radical movement west Of
the Mississippi that is more pow
erful than any this country has
known since the heyday of Pop
ulism is a trouble which the
east should make up its mind to
understand. Denunciation of
'agitators' is of no use whatever.
These western farmers have
real, not imaginary, troubles.
They have actual grievances, not
fancied ones.
The trouble was put in a nut
she'll the other day by the presi-
dent of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce when he said
that If there is one single men
ace to the onward march of
business activity and prosperity
in this country it rests in the
dissimilarity between the prices
paid for farm products and the
prices of these commodities
which the farmer must buy In
the month of October, 1922, for
example, the prices of farm
products stood SO points ever the
1913 level, but food stood 40
points, cloths and clothing SO
points, fuel and lighting 1926
points, building materials SO
points, house furnishings rs
points, all commodities together
81 points. The farmers prices
have fallen faster than the
prices of the goods he buys from
the cities. This is the underly-
ing condition against which the
farm bloc has risen to protest.
There are two primary causes
of the low prices of farm prod
ucts is due to the fact that Eu-
rope cannot buy as she did.
About 10 per cent of our agricul-
tural produce is sold abroad. If
it cannot be sold abroad it re-
mains in this country as a sur
plus and pulls down the domes-
tic price. This is lust what has
happened in the last two years.
Between 1919 and 1920 the ex-
port of meats fell off a third.
This nearly ruined the cattle and
hog farmers. This year alone
grain exports fell off nearly Is per
cent in volume and over Al per
cent in value.
THE western farmer sells in
a world market. His prices are
