FARMING INDUSTRY
STILL IN BAW WAY,
LOWDEN DECLARES
Cooperative Marketing Is Seen as
Only Solution of Agriculture
From Further Financial
Decay

New York, April 22.-The farming
industry is not only Elm badplight,
persistent reports to the contrary not
withstanding, but will remain in a
condition until the farmers and bust
ness men change the present market
ing methods, according to Frank O.,
Lowden, former governor of Illinois.
sour agriculture is decaying,' Low
den declared Wednesday night at a
dinner of the Bureau of Advertising
of the American Newspaper Publish
ers' association. Farm Bankruptcies
in recent years have increased more
than 600 per cent. Abandonment Of
farms, which in the New England
states excited so much comment a
few years ago, are now found in con-
siderable and increasing number in
every state in the union"
Farmers Not Benefited
Branding recent optimistic reports
arising from high prices in central
markets as misleading, the farmer
politician said that the boom prices
had not benefited the farmers to any
great extent.
Agriculture, he declared, is suffer
ing from great disparity between the
prices of the things the farmer has to
sell and the prices of things he has
to buy. By the natural increase in the
population of the country and the
running down of he great farm plant
of America, this would naturally
change in a period of years, but at
that time the resulting economic NAL
adjustment would favor the farmer
and increase the living cost to the So
called consuming classes, he said.
Cooperative Marketing Association
This natural adjustment would be
disastrous, he declared. The alterna-
tive is organization of the farmers in
cooperative marketing groups, Low
den believes.
The producers and sellers of farm
products are numerous, the buyers
are few and organized, he said AS
consequence, the law of supply and
demand is operating against the in
terests of the unorganized. Lowden
quoted numerous instances to show
that buyers had forced prices down
unfairly because they were operating
against an unorganized selling group.
1.-The larger the production per man,
the cheaper will be the product" Low
den declared. But when large pro-
duction is used to drive prices down
so as to make large production less
profitable than small production,
large production will not continue,
and the world will therefore have to
paw more for the necessaries OF lite. ~
There was something like 5 per
cent more butter produced in the
United States in 1924 than in 1928,
Lowden said. 1t created surplus OF
about D IL per cent. However, this
small surplus above consumption caus-
ed the price of butted to fall from ~
to Is per cent.
Only by cooperative marketing and
organizing of the farmers on a bust
ness basis so that the producers are
powerful enough to deal favorably
with organized buyers can agriculture
be stabilized, Lowden declared.

THE VALUE OF GOOD BOOKS


There are many advantages and
helps derived from reading good books.
Books are very educational and es-
pecially those written by our best
authors. In them we have descriptions
OF the best things. and accounts of the
lives and achieN ements OF great men.
Then, too, we become acquainted with
the ways and manners of all people,
tar and near. By reading we may ac-
qu1re a knowledge of the different
ages and of the improvements that
have come.
With the acquaintance of new books
and authors We may be able to learn
many useful thoughts that have been
formed by these great men. We also
set helpful lessons that are taught in
nearly every good story. Then there
IS the teaching ci new words which
helps to enlarge the vocabulary OF
readers. ----------. ---'----------' ~-~---r@
1t is not the privilege of many to
v sit all parts of the world but through
reading we may have clearer concep-
ten of all things that nature has given
us. We learn of the great institutions,
cities and ttke: Improvements of
which we ought 70 be proud to know
about.
Through good books we have a
very interesting as we'll as a beauti-
ful way to get learning of life, of
men. OF nature and of all history.

QUESTION of the building.
Hon. Benjamin +. CIeaves of Port

ISOLATED Industries of Maine, was
present on the invitation of F.. NJ,
Foster. president OF the local Cham
Der OF Commerce, and he spoke at
some length of the conditions under
which shippers Of goods into and out
of the state are now working He
stressed the fact that the proceedings
thai are now before the Interstate
Commerce commission were not in
stituted by the railroads as so many
men think.
Mr.. Cleaves told Of the Impending
raise in freight rates resulting from
recent rulings of the commission and
nf tho h1nuy hot
to Maine shippers as we'll as to the
business of the state. He explained
that the rate between two points in
tervening between two more distant
points was determined by the rate
set for transportation of a commod-
ity between the farther points and
this. he said. was n very serious mat
ter which was of vital concern to
many industries of the state.
To protect Maine industry and
shippers Mr.. Cleaves said that about

citation had been formed. COMPOSED
of all the leading shippers within

was their idea to gather together
sufficient data and to present it to
the Interstate Commerce commission

ticular line of business. none Of
them hal sufficient knowledge of the
matter to do the work 50 the asso-
citation had gone out Of the state and
engaged men from Massachusetts

careful study Of existing conditions.
and present them to the commission.
Mr.. Gloves said. in closing his talk.
that this would naturally incur On
expense which the Maine Traffic
commission wontl not be able to
bear entirelv alone and that it was
relying on the various Chambers Of
Commerce and Boards of Trade
throuahout TIE state to holm finance
the INVESTIGATION. The Watorville-
Wirelow Chamber voted to aid the

any way possible.
