PRICE FIXING VOTED DOWN
BY MINNESOTA FARM BUREAU

ST. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 19-County
farm bureau directors at their annual
fall meeting here rejected proposed
plans for government price-fixing. A
resolution was introduced by V. K
Anderson of Wheaton proposing a de-
mand for a special session of Cong
ress, re-establishment OF the u. S,
Grain Corporation and the organiza-
tion of a government board for stabi-
LIKING prices. This was voted down
as economically unsound, impossible
of realization and would result In a
subsidy In some form or other.
Aaron Sapiro, national authority
on cooperative marketing as practiced
in California, told more than 1000
farmers who gathered for the meet
ing that yelling for help" and lean
ing on the government could not be
expected to solve their marketing
problems.
Political action can not solve your
marketing problem" he told his hear
ers. He praised farmers Of the state
for their record In production, urging
them to attack the selling OF their
products with the same loyalty, in
teligence and determination that they
have used In growing crops and sup
porting their cooperatives, thus far.
you must realize that all political
and governmental machinery will be
useless to you, unless you re organi-
zed on a sound business basis. You
must keep your business affairs In
your own grasp. You can do II, il
you will.
