and SAID producers organiza-
tions are going forward, in spite
of all Obstacles" He urged gov
ernment agencies supposedly
instituted to be of service to
farmers to give more considera-
ton to the marketing problem.
I'VE have" he said. rather
than overproduction, a lack Of
proper facilities to market and
distribute our products. Millions
of people improperly nourished
and clothed prove this statement.
There is no disposition on the
part of farmers to belittle the
efforts of those who have taken
over the distribution and market
ing of farm products, but we do
feel that those who have engaged
in such work have obtained
greater remuneration than those
who produced the product. Such
being the case, it is clear to me
that our marketing system has
failed to carry its share of the
burden. Continued production
on the present quantity basis is
a liability to agriculture"
Farmers, Mr.. Reed said, must
learn to yield a degree Of their
independence of action and more
truly adjust themselves to their
neighbor's needs if cooperative
marketing is to accomplish the
greatest possible results.
Gray Silver, Washington repre-
sentative of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, told the con-
vention that Farm Bureau activi-
ties at the national capitol had
saved farmers more than 80
times the money paid as dues to
the national organization. Farm

the first problem is to keep the
