through which he can see the smiles Of

them reading Of old Mr.. Giant and

Gypsy Haze and Midgie Moon and the

And as ! can see them reading In all

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 purposeful
abuse. the subject should not be ap-
preached with any general imputatlon
to existing d~istributive agencies Of de.
l~iberately Intentional oppression. but
rather with the conception that the
marketing Of farm products has not
been modernized.
An ancient evil, and a persistent
one. IL the undergradlng Of farm prod
ucts. with the result that what the
farmers sell as Of one quality Is re
sold as Of a 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 1t does so persist. Even as I
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, It
II 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
eut 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 aud usually overcharged
Tor marketing service. The differ.
ence between what the farmer re-
ceives and what the consumer pays
often exceeds all possibility Of justi
lcation. To cite a single illustration
