(Sept. 10) that there is no plot
never was. Just happened that the
terminal elevators got filled up
with 1928 wheat and 1929 winter
wheat, so the farmer had to put
the 1929 spring wheat in the barn
with the cows! The difference is
of course that Myron deals with
these gamblers and the Senator
does not.
Senator Frazier, the only dirt
farmer in the senate, after sum-
mer spent with the farmers in
North Dakota, went back to Wash
ington and told the world that
farmers are suspicious of the
Fard Board because Alexander
Legge its chairman is head of the
harvester trust which has skinned
the farmer so long. That wasn't
good news, it wasn't even diplo-
matte. The trouble with the Sen
ator Frazier is that he everlasting
ly tells the truth just as it comes
to him. This column has shyly
limited from time to time that the
Farm Board wasn't just all that
the farmers fondest dreams might
picture. To find its views held by
farmers and publicly stated by
Senator Frazier is honor enough
, for month.

The Ugly Duckling
Dead Timber
Why is it that the Twin City
grain gamblers and their organs
think the farmer is so dumb he
does not know the difference be.
tween a slap on the. back and a
push in the face? Watching their
antics the transparency of their
pretense is sickening.. "Hold your
wheat" they cry to the farmer
and with the falsest show of ben
evidence appeal to every agency to
save the farmer from loss when
they could save him if they were
not too busy stealing. First they
seek to brighten the farmer with
threat of embargo. Then they
denounce the Farm Board for not
helping him. Then they urge the
railroads to lend the farmer old
box cars to store the grain. Then
they ask the railroads to make a
grain transit rate to keep the
wheat inland.
All of which is but play-acting
and the shabbiest pretense that ev-
er was put up. The gamblers had
bought surplus of last years
crop at less than dollar and had
also bought this years winter
wheat at low figure. The ap-
proximate terminal elevator capa-
city of Duluth and Minneapolis is
100,000,000 bushels. All but TO-
100000 is stored with that wheat
waiting for the price to rise so the
gamblers can make so cents a bu-
shell profit. But if the spring
wheat came down to market-the
gamblers so cent profit would go
glimmering. So the farmer was
patted on the back by his great
friends. This is actually what they
were saying: "You dumb fool,
dump your wheat on the ground
anywhere-and let it rot until we
get our rake7off safe in the bank"
That was the push in the face the
farmer got from these well-wish-
ers. They got theirs-and now you
farmers can get what you can.
Which naturally leads to Sena-
tor Nye's charge that the same
grain interests were refusing to
take grain for storage and plotting
to force the farmer to sell, and
make themselves a profit of rs
cents a bushel. That is part of the |
plot, without a doubt. That Sem
ator is getting action from the
Farm Board. The storage plot is
pretty well knocked out. Tt was
too raw. Who wanted to go be-
fore a Senate investigating COM
mittee? More things might leak
out that would make bad reading
for the public.
