Farm Hope in
Export Bill and
Higher CHER Tariff
W. l.. Stockton, Head of the
Montana Farm Bureau,
Stops in Omaha OIL Re-
turn from Washington.

THE creation of an export cor
poration to handle the surplus prod
ucts of the farm, coupled with an
adequate tariff to prevent importa
ton of the farm surplus of other
countries" This is the practical way
/ to bring help to the farmers, in the
| judgment of W. l.. Stockton, presi-
dent of the Montana Farm Bureau
federation.
Mr.. Stockton was in Omaha yes
terday on his way home from attend.
ing the recent conference on farm
questions, summoned by President
Coolidge.
He is convinced the president will
provide an increased wheat tariff as
n result of the investigation by the
tariff commission into the relative
costs OF production in Canada and
in the United States.
''The export corporation" said Mr..
Stockton. lis provided for In the Nc
Nary -Haugen bill. 1t will require
some amendments to make 1t accept
able to the present channels of wheat
distribution, but 1t lays the founda-
ton for a real practical solution OF
the farmers main problems.
"The plan proposed will put the
farmer on the same basis with or
ganized industry. Farm prices will
be domestic prices; the tariff will
keep out the surplus of the world
and every economic interest in the
will "a a
of equality"
The McNary-Haugen bill would
take the average prices of farm prod
ucts for the period 1905-1914 as the
standard ratio prices. These price
ratios would be compared to current
price ratios and then through buying
on the open market at the ratio
prices the export corporation would
bring up domestic sale prices to the
current ratios. The surplus would be
sold In the foreign markets at what
ever prices prevailed, the loss to the
corporation through having to sell
for less than the purchase price
would spread that loss among all
farmers on the basis of their in
dividual sales to the total sales.
The bill provides for system OF
script through which this loss would
be spread equitably.
"The creation of an export cor
poration for the farmers would put
agriculture on the same basis with
manufacturing. which now handles
exports through the Edge bill, said
MIR. Stockton.
