a big factor in trying to destroy his
business. He complains that the
matron has shown discrimination in
sending people to the various hotels
and boarding houses and says that

ward revision of the tariff TO broad
en- the foreign outlook for American
farm products and the expansion of
cooperative marketing as essential
steps toward assisting agriculture.
Urged Cut In Tariff.
THE top of the tariff rail should
be removed" Governor Preus said.
and he urged that the conference ask
President Harding to exercise his
to obtain reduction of
the tariffs which impose duties on the
necessities of life on the farm.
The governor reviewed the devel-
opment of cooperative marketing, not
only in Minnesota but in other states,
and urged the necessity of binding
contracts between the farmers and
their associations as essential to the
success of the cooperative move
ment.
Mr.. Reed address, which came af-
ter the talk OF Governor Preus well
coming the delegates and the re
Spouse by Governor II. E. Kendall
or Iowa was followed by that OF
Harry II. Owen, editor of Farm,
{ lck and Home. Mr.. Owen de-
clafed that production adapted to de-
mand was the step that should be
taken 10 relieve agricultural depres-
sion, and he laid the blame for the
present distress of the farmer to lack
OF sound economics.
He declared that agriculture is
allowing price to control production
instead OF making production control
price" and that agriculture pro-
duces blindly without any regard to
the probable demand for its pro-
ducts"
The real work of the conference is
expected to come tomorrow on the
final day of the deliberations when
the committee on resolutions will
make its report an such action as
the conference determines on will be
taken on them.
Former Governor Hanna Speaker
l.. B. Hanna, former governor of
North Dakota, told of conditions he
found during his recent trip to Eur
ope. and brought out laughter
when he said that in Portugal the
people blame Americas prohibition
for their plight inasmuch as we no
longer are in the market for their
port wine.
He asserted that too much financ-
ial credit has been given the farmer
and certain other lines of business
and not enough has been done to
urge the farmer to get out and keep
out of debt. The borrowing of money
he said. is only temporary exped-
lent. The speaker took the farmers
to task for carelessness in letting
millions of dollars worth of expens-
i've machinery stand idle and un-
sheltered in the fields. The average
farmer" he said, Twill not even
build straw shed to protect his ex-
pensive machinery from the wealth
err"
Freight Outrageous
The farmers should resolve, he
said, to buy no more expensive ma
chinery for a period of two or three
wears and get along by repairing and
caring for that which they have.
This would svae them millions, he
asserted. Freight rates are outrag-
eous, he said, and, taxes are too
great burden. The farmer can con ,
troll taxes, he asserted. and he rec :
commended retrenchment in many
lines of public expense
The amount of money being with
drawn from business to be invested
in tax exempt securities is tremen-
dous," he said, and he recommended
the taxing of all securities
