be protected. Foreign products
raised under lower standards of liV-
ing are today competing in our
home markets. l would use my
office and influence to give the
farmer the full benefit of our his
toric tariff policy. .
"a large portion Of the spread
between what the farmer receives
for his products and what the ultl-
mate consumer pays is due to in
creased transportation charges. In
crease in railway rates has been
one of the penalties of the war.
These increases have been added
to the cost of the farmer Of reach
ing seaboard and foreign markets
and result therefore in reduction
of his prices. The farmers Of for
eign countries have thus been in
directly aided in their competition
with the American farmer. Nature
has endowed us with a great sys-
TEN of inland waterways. Their
modernization will comprise most
substantial contribution to midwest
farm relief and to the development
of twenty of our interior states.
This modernization includes not

culture to the Gulf, but also a

lance have been swept away and
life made freer and larger by
the installation of six million
more telephones, seven million
radio sets and the service Of an
additional IA million automo-
biIes.
BY rigorous economy, federal
expenses have been reduced two
billions annually. The national

sounder and more economical lines.
We have already contributed
greatly to this purpose by the acts
supporting farm co-operatives, the
establishment of intermediate
credit banks, the regulation of
stockyards, public exchanges and
the expansion of the Department of
Agriculture. The platform proposes
to go much farther. 1t pledges the
creation of a Federal Farm Board of
representative farmers to be cloth
ed with authority and resources
with which not only to still further
aid farmers co-operatives and
pools and to assist generally in So

cially to build up with federal

Is Extra Bushels
From Each Acre of Winter Wheat

WHEAT growers themselves tell
w you that extra bushels and
extra dollars make ''AA QUALITY"
Fertilizers by all odds the best and
cheapest you can buy.
Read the experience of Mr.. B. A.
Howard, of La Plata, Charles County,
Md. Here is his recent letter:
eel obtained an unusual yield for this
section of the cOuntry-35 bushels to
the acre. This / consider extraOrdi-
nary, because the wheat was planted
on tobacco soil. AS a matter of fact 1
know that ''AA QUALITY Fertilizer
increased my yield IS bushels per acre.
The quality of the wheat was exception
ally fine and am selling it for seed
at $500 per bushel."
(SigneD B. A. HOWARD.
This meant $50 an acre extra profit
for Mr.. Howard last season.
Hundreds of other farmers have
written similar letters. They all
tell of bigger yields, better quality
and increased profits with "AA
QUALITY Fertilizers. These splendid
crops are not due to luck or accident.
They are the result of sound farming
methods and the use of the best
fertilizer Obtainable-thati is, "AA
QUALITY.
Your crop, your profits, these are
the only real standards by which to
measure fertilizer quality. Chemical
analysis may fool the farmer but it
cannot fool your crops. Don't be

You, more than anyone else are entitled to know
the purpose behind our recent acquisition of the
assets and facilities of Dodge Brothers, Inc.
For upon that purpose depends the security of your
investment in Dodg Brothers products
In acquiring Dodge Brothers, Inc. for the Chryser
Corporation, have secured one of the largest and
most modern automobile factories in the world and
with it an organization of exceptional ability.
We intend that these facilities shall be utilized to
increase the value and quality in Dodge Brothers cars
and Graham Brothers Trucks and Motor Coaches.
We have secured, in addition a dealer Orsaniza-
ton that has always been recognized as of the
finest in the industry
1t is intention deserve the continued LOYALTY
of this group of substantial progressive merchants
by making it possible for them to enjoy increas-
ing prosperity through the sale of Dodge Brothers
products.
We have secured, moreover that which transcends
IN importance either Dodge Brothers superb plant
equipment or Dodge Brothers splendid dealer or
ganizatiOn. For we have become the lawful heritorS
of Dodge Brothers Good Name, with all the
solemn obligation which that inheritance implies
We have become the trustees of Dodge Brothers
good faith their customers and it is our purpose
to execute that trust with fidelity
Thepriceless identity of aHDodge Brothers products
will be Preserved-as well the sound policies
that have made the words Dodge Brothers Synony-
nous with Honest Value and Dependability
Dodge Brothers Works will continue to produce
Dodge Brothers Motor Cars and Graham Brothers
commercial vehicles. Dodge Brothers dealers will
continue to sell and service them.
The men to whose capable support the success of
the ChrySler Corporation is due, unite with me in
pIedging perpetuation of Dodge Brothers ideals to
the end that Good Name may be made still better.

Ofthe same chemical analysis are the
same in crOP-PrOducing value.
Buy fertilizer with your eyes open.
Compare crop records obtained with
"AA QUALITY Fertilizers with those
of any other make. Then make your
decision. Larger yields, better quality
and increased profits - make "AA
QUALITY goods by all odds the
cheapest you can buy.
If you have never used "AA
QUALITY goods, you owe it to your
self to use these fertilizers on at least
part of your next wheat crop. You,
too, can increase your profits. See the

VIII Cost Money


collection has been made that
this program, as laid down by the
Party Platform, may require that
several hundred millions of dol
lars of capital be advanced by the
Federal Government without obli-
CATION upon the individual farmer.
With that objection l have little
patience. A nation which is spend
ing ninety billions a year can well
afford an expenditure of few hun
bred millions for a workable pro-
gram that will give to one-third of
it's population their fair share OF
the nations prosperity. Nor does
this proposal put the government
into business except so far as it is
called upon to furnish initial CAPT
tai with which to build up the farm
err to the control of his own desti-
MES.
"This program adapts itself to
the variable problems Of agrieul-
Z ture not only today but which will
arise in the future. 1 do not be-
lieve that any single human being
or any group of human beings can
determine in advance all questions
that will arise in so vast and COM
plicated an industry over a term
of years. The first step is to create
an effective agency directly for
these purposes and to give it au-
therity and resources. These are
solemn pledges and they will be
fulfilled by the Republican Party.
It is a definite plan of relief. It
needs only the detailed elaboration
of legislation and appropriation to
put it into force.
During my term as Secretary Of
Commerce have steadily en-
deavored to build up a system OF
cooperation between the govern
ment and business. Under these
cooperative actions all elements
interested in the problem Of a par
ticular industry such as manufac'
turer, distributor, worker, and con-
sumer have been called in council
together, not for a single occasion,
but for continuous work. These eff
forts have been successful beyond
any expectation. They have been
accomplished without interference
or regulation by the government.
They have secured progress in the
industries, remedy for abuses, elm
