power of farm products is ONLY 70
PER CENT OF WHAT 1T WAS
DURING THE FIVE YEARS BE-
FORE THE WAR FROM 1910 TO
1914.
Table 2 on page 3 of the same bull
letin shows that on June 1, 1921,
the average wholesale prices in the
U. S. was ISL per cent of what they
were for the five years 191O-1914.
On page 10 of this bulletin we read
that "the farmer usually buys at retail
so that he buys on a higher market
than the wholesale prices Indicate"
INT MANUFACTURERS and distrib-
IV utors are able, through organ
AVA ization and protective legisla-
lation, to control the marketing and
prices of their products so that they
can get the cost plus profit.
The farmer, having no protection,
either through organization or legis-
lation, is compelled to dump his prod
uct on the market at prices far below
the cost to produce. But as soon as
the farmers raw products fall into
the hands of speculator, manufacturer
and distributor, the prices go rocket
ing sky-high, with the result, as Mr.
Wandrie and the Nebraska farmer
point out, that it takes two horse hides
to buy one pair of horsehide mittens,
five steers on the hoof to buy one on
the block, the wool of 80 sheep to buy
|one suit Of clothes, and wagon load
Of hides to buy set of harness.
= Now it should be perfectly plain to
all that the farmer can not long pro-
duce wheat and other farm products
at prices far below the cost of produc-
ton. Unless he gets protection he
will be forced out of business and into
bankruptcy. Then there will, be
wheat famine and the spectators and
dealers, left free to continue their
price juggling, will pounce upon the
limited supply and rob the consumers
even more than they do now.
So the consumers must pay now, at
least what it costs to produce wheat,
or they may be forced, through farmer
bankruptcy, famine and speculation,
to pay many times more than it costs
to produce, and not be able to get
bread at that.
Fhis business of getting cost Of pro-
duction plus a living is not alone the
farmers problem. It most vitality con-
Germs all the people. It has got to be
The National leader., 1922-01-23

ALL the folks we have heard from,
~ except the private grain deal
n ers, are for the government
grain pool. Many think that
wool, cotton, corn and other grains
should be included. Many also say
that $3.50 per bushel for this years
wheat is too low
Let us more clearly understand
what we mean by government grain
pool: We started with wheat because
it is the most important grain and be-
cause it is we'll not to take in too much
territory to begin with. But we are
willing to- include corn, cotton, wool
and other farm products as soon as
possible and as fast as those sections
of the country producing corn, cotton
and wool come in and help. We sug-
gested the $1.50 per bushel for the part
Of the 1921 crop remaining in the
hands of the producer. It was not to
be the maximum, but the minimum. 1t
was suggested as the price on the
farms, not at the terminal market.
Perhaps the minimum. should be
more than $3.50 for this year; we do
not assume to state all the details at
the start; we wanted to get the ball
rolling first. In this we have succeed
ed. Now we expect all farm organiza-
tions and others interested to share
fully in the discussion And we look
to congress upon information and
advice Of experts-to work out the de-
tails and put the plan into operation
Let us not get it into the heads of
any good people that we expect the
government to fix price to the farm
er above the price at which grain and
grain products can be sold. This
would mean loss to the government
and force the whole people, through
taxation, to make up the loss. We are
not asking the government to subsi-
die the wheat farmer.
But we do demand, and have
right to demand, that the govern
ment act at ance to eliminate spec
ulation, gambling, price rigging,
waste in handling, and unfair and
unearned profits.
We demand that the government
grain corporation be authorized at
once to pool all Americas wheat, to fix
a price to the farmer that will at least
cover the cost Of production, sell the
grain at a price that will reimburse
the government and so regulate the
price of grain products that dealers
may not gouge the consumers. =

ii son are hundreds of thousands
a - of bushels of the finest corn
piled sky high. The farmer can get 29
cents a bushel, less than one-haf cent
1 pound. But right here in the stores
At Jackson corn meal sells for 2112 to

farm products.
| quote from a letter of Otto Wan.
lrie, a farmer Of Frazee, Minn.:
I was offered rs cents for horse
hide, a medium sized one, but pair of
horsehide mittens cost $1.50 in the
store. How many horse hides does it
take to make a pair of horsehide nit
tens? also have two sheep hides that
I can't sell. at any price, but when I
went to buy sheepskin lined overcoat
the lowest priced coat was $24.
I'll say there is big money in farm
ing. One of our local butchers offered
my neighbor 2 cents pound for a
steer. A few days afterward he went
to the same butcher and ordered some
beefsteak. After he had it wrapped up
the farmer asked how much it was.
"$1.4O," was the answer. "You sap
head, charging me 20 cents pound for
meat that you paid cents pound for.
| won't take it," And he walked out of
the store.
Wool is quoted at Is cents a pound,
but when fellow goes to buy suit of
clothes he can't talk to the merchant
for less than $50 to $35, and the only
excuse they have for the suit being so
high priced is that it's all WOOL If an
all-wool suit weighs five or six pounds,
it would only have Is cents to 81 worth
OF wool in it. But who gets the other
$29 when the farmer only gets the one
dollar for the wool?
THE following extract from a let
ter written by a farmer in the
- neighborhood of Culbertson, Neb.
is published in a recent bulletin of thu
National City bank Of New York, tn,
name OF the writer not given:
I need a wagon and my dealer wants
the price of $50 bushels of corn, the.
same wagon could buy with 200 hun
dred bushels of corn before the war.
The harness man wants the price of a
wagon load of hides for No. I harness.
simply can not see my way clear to
buy wagon, harness or anything else
that l can manage to get along without.
This letter was written in Angus
when the price Of corn at Chicago wa
around so cents per bushel. The Chi
cago market today is AZ cents to 4!
cents per bushel and it would TAX
more than $50 bushels Of corn for tn,
Nebraska farmer to buy the wagon h
bought before the war for 200 bushels
