FARMERS ARE THINKING
AND DETERMINED TO
HELP THEMSELVES
BY Guy Flenner

| While many proposals are being
made to aid the farmer, he is study
| ing the situation from all angles and
has about concluded that one sure
means of relief will come through
his own analysis and action. Divers
Allied crops, smaller acreage to reduce
hired help, the elimination of unprof-
table crops and the increase of
profitable crops are on his program
of self help. Meantime, of course, he
is seeking all the information avail
able as to freight rates and the fol-
lowing may give him and others ad-
ditional light as to rates on grain.
The market reports showed that
on June 20, 1922 cash wheat in
Chicago brought $1.15 and on the
same date this year it sold for $1.05.
The freight rate had not been
changed during that period and the
fluctuation during that year was
greater than any purpose to cut
freight rates. In other words, if
freight rates had been cut in two this
summer the farmer having wheat
to sell would still get less for his
product than he would have a year
ago.
But since June 80 freight rates
remaining constant, wheat has con-
tinued to become more worthless.
Instead of being worth $105 in !
Chicago recently 1t brought $1.O1,
and the day before less than 81.
What freight alteration can you sug-
gest that would have saved the
farmer this sharp loss within 20
days? If it is excessive freight
rates that are principally to blame
what kind CT adjustment would you
suggest in rates that would permit
+, farmer even to hold his own as
20 wheat prices in the light of what
las occurred that month.
Then there is corn. What would
'ou say the effect of freight rates
vas on that product? On June 80,
1922, cash corn sold in Chicago at |
% cents. year later the quotation
vas 81 cents. During the year, with
reight charges remaining the same,
Wheat declined 10 cents bushel in
rice and corn improved 10 cents. If /
he decline in wheat price is due to
he freight rate, why not also grant
hat the gain in corn price is charge
Bile to the same influence? il

ents a bushel in Chicago, gain of

EXPERIMENTS ON
ALFALFA WEEVIL

University of Idaho, Moscow, Aug
21-Experiments on alfalfa weevil
control. conducted at Parma by
Claude Wakeland, entomologist OF
the University Of Idaho experiment
station. have yielded definite results,
according to announcement given out
through the college of agriculture.
Mr.. Wakeland used for his expert
mental work the fields Of several
farmers in the community, and on
these he tested and observed the re-
suits of several different methods OF
weevil control. Among these methods
were early cutting Of alfalfa, grazing
of the first crop with livestock I'M
til late in the spring, creation OF
dust mulch by means of brush drag
spraying with a liquid spray, using
varying rates of intensity, and dust
ing with poisons distributed by spe-
ciaI constructed machines.
In addition Mr.. Wakeland has
watched closely the prevalence of the
parasite of the alfalfa weevil, which
appears to be exerting considerable
Influence toward control In some sec
lions of the state. The attack of the
weevil is over for the season of 1928,
md Mr.. Wakeland is now summarize
ng his work, and tabulating the re-
suits in such a form that they may
,e presented to the public.
The experiment station is now
planning a program of control for
924, and for that reason is soliciting
he corporation of the farmers in
yeeyil infested regions. Recommen-
Iations to the farmers will be based |
pom the result of this years expert
lents, and bulletins will be prepared
or distribution through out the state
'hese pamphlets will give full infor-
nation on the habits of the weevil,
pplication of control measures, and
Their facts of interest 20 farmers in

Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1923-08-30


If the farmer year ago could
have shipped his corn to Chicago for
nothing, the price he would have alb
tanned for it would have been at
least 10 cents bushel less than he
can get for his corn at his elevator
today. II he had free transporta-
ton for his wheat to Chicago today
he could not get any more for it than
he could have received a year ago
in Chicago after paying the freight.
The railroads may be guilty of all
the mean things said about them,
but the real niger in the woodpile
is something entirely different.
the railroads or shooting
them at sunrise or turning them over
to the government for operation will
not alterdhhe fact that wheat went
down taV to II cents bushel in a
veal s~s~P rn FONT up approximate
ly 20 to Is cents in the same time,
and under precisely the same trans
portation conditions.

freight rate never budged. Would
you consider freight rate determ
lining cause In that increase in value:
II your answer is no, why then,
would You say that 1t helped to shoVe
down the price OF wheat? How can
freight rate work In opposite direc-
tions at the same time.
Or would you say that the corn
farmers had joined in conspiracy
with Wall street to boost the price
OF their product, and to cut the
Threats of the wheat farmers?
How else do you explain the
strange but significant fact that the
corn farmer is seeing the value OF his
product increase, while his wheat
growing neighbor is in despair as his
prices sink lower and lower?
Surely wheat and corn farmers
operate under the same govern
mental statutes. We have heard OF
az dAoCIlI1ludllUu LII tASSS fN"S 49,
or against either. If man-made laws
control the situation, wheat and corn
should go up or down together, In
stead of that we have the spectacle
of one becoming worthless and the
other priceless.
We do not pretend to know much
about the equity of freight rates.
we pay for freight we are
sure we are paying too much, but we
also think the same about coal and
labor in the back room and ham and
eggs and caddie fees and golf-balls
and gasoline. 1t may be that freight
.ates on grain are unnecessarily high
and that in fairness they should be
We argue neither for nor
against this supposition.
1t seems apparent, however, that
reight rates are not the controlling
clement in the prosperity or the pow
,rty of the farmer. Market fluctua-
ions are 10 times as effective for
,ood or evil as freight rates.
