ing agency, that agency at once be-
comes an important factor in the
market.
Markets after all are made, to a
considerable extent, by the proces
OF bargaining. The prestige Of any
trader in the market depends large
ly on the volume of business which
he has to transact, whether he be
a seller or a buyer. If we carry this
a little further, say that 100000
farmers centralize the marketing o.
their products in the same way.
such an agency at once becomes a
leading factor entitled, as it should
be, to a voice in establishing the
rules, regulations and conditions
under which its production is dis
posed of. 1t is. therefore, in far
better position to obtain for the
product its full market value
The board believes that it can
be Of great assistance to the Ameri-
can farmers by encouraging the de-
velopment of large-scale, central
cooperative associations. Such an
agency would be in itself, because Of
its prestige and influence, a StabiliZ-
ing element in marketing. 1t would
be able to exert a measurable de-
gree of control over the flow of
Its products to market. 1t would
avoid temporary SURPRISES which 50
often result in unduly depressing
the price of farm products much
below their real value. In other
words, it would be a strong mer-
chandising agency, virtually in con-
troll OF the conditions under which
the products Of the members are
sold.
Local Agencies Valuable
Immediately we are aIked, would
the development Of such large-scale
organizations mean that the farmer
should abandon or do away with
their local associations? We can
not see any tendency in that direc-
tlon. On the contrary, such agen-
cles would help to build up and i'm
prove the condition of each ami ev-
cry cooperative organization now in
existence. Always bear in mind
that any organization of this kind
would be owned and controlled by
the c~ooperatives. 1t would be the
farmers organization, producer
owned and producer controlled,
working solely in the interest of the
producers.
The Federal Farm Board, as now
organized, is not going to buy Or
sell any commodity, agricultural Or
otherwise. 1t is our duty to assist
you in doing a better job of this
yourselves. True, while we are as
sisting you we win want to have 2
voice in the transaction, partic-
ularly when you call for government
funds to aid in the operation, but
II this counsel or advice on our part
becomes irksome, and you do not
like 1t, the solution for you is sim
pie; namely, to liquidate the indebt-
edneSs to the government. When
this is done, you will be perfectly
free to tell US where to 60. 1 sim
cerely hope that, based on the prog
reSS that has been started in that
direction and on the progress that
should be made within the next few
years, the time will 500 arrive
when it will be a simple matter for
you to do just that.
However, it is probable that you
may find this board of real assist
ance, even though you may not

orally has not shown an operating
profit. The prices farmers have re-
ceived for their products have not
advanced in proportion to advances
in the prices of other commodities.
Prices of many commodities, in
fact, have remained below pre-war
levels for long periods. AS a bus
mess man, the farmer has not re-
ceived a fair return on his invest
ment, and as a worker he and his
family have often labored for
a grossly inadequate wage.
In the past, much effort and
large sums of money have been
spent trying to improve agricul-
tural conditions, but much of this
effort has been directed toward i'm
provement in methods of produc-
ton; that is, to encourage the rails
ing of more and better crops. Work
Of this character can, and has been,
carried out effectively, working with
and through the individual farmer.
In the past when a new kind OF
seed, or an improvement in the pro-
cess Of producing any particular ag-
ricultural product was developed by
the department of agriculture at
Washington, by any Of the state
agricultural colleges, or for that
matter by anyone else, it was q
comparatively simple matter to con-
vey the information to those inter-
eSted, and in most cases for them
to make S of the information in
their own operations.
Organization Imperative
However, all this effort meets
only a part of the agricultural
problem. Obviously, nothing is
gained by raising a larger crop of
better quality if, after having done
so, you are unable to dispose of l.
on a basis that will yield a reason
able return for the effort expended.
It is when we approach this part
Of the agricultural problem that the
need for organization becomes i'm
perative. There it is that the
problem of the farmer most closely
parallel that of every other indus
try and it seems to us that the
treatment to be applied can be de-
Scrlbed in one word, "organiza-
ton" To illustrate, if a thousand
farmers attempt to sell the same
kind Of product at the same time
IN the same market, and in most
cases to a very limited number OF
buyers, the mere competition among
themselves puts them at a disad-
vantage. But if these same thou
sand farmers place the same pro-
duct in the hands of a single SELL

LEGCE SPEAKS
AT INSTITUTE
Proposes Large Scale Pro-
duction And Central
izing Agencies

Alexander Legge, chairman Of the
Federal Farm Board, delivered the
following address Tuesday night
hekore the fifth summer session Of
thu American Institute of Coopera-
tida, Baton Rouge. La, on the sub
ject, THE Relation of the Federal
Farm Board to the Cooperative
Movement:
You people who are engaged in
the problems of cooperative mar
keting doubtless understand the in
herent difficulties Of agriculture.
But, while it is true that the de-
velopments and discussions of the
past few years have given people
in other industries a better under
standing than formerly prevailed,
there is yet much to be done ia
bringing about a clearer under
standing of the problem on the
part of those not directly engaged
in agriculture. There is much to
be done also to bring to these
groups a better appreciation Of the
significance and possibilities of ag-
ricultural cooperation.
Agriculture Tagging
why is agriculture, as an indus
try, not keeping pace with other in
dustries in the general progress Of
the country? In my judgment, the
answer can be stated briefly. Agri-
culture has operated as an individ-
ual enterprise competing with or
ganized effort in other industries
individual action and planning as
compared with collective thinking
and acting. The marked tendency
in other industries is toward larger
groups in which many minds col
lectively determine policies and
plans and follow them through.
This distinct difference between ag-
riculture and other industries is ap-
parent pretty much all over the
world, although perhaps in most
countries it is not so pronounced as
in I'LL own United States.
For many years, farming gen.

not undertake to force its program
upon any group of people. 1t will
move only as fast as the farmers
through their organizations are
abel and willing to accept the pro-
gram. The Improvement Of agri-
cultural conditions must be based
on self-help. The board can con-
tribute largely and will contribute
to such Improvement. In the long
run, however. the board will rem
der the greatest service to agricul-
ture and to the nation by helping
the farmer to help himself.

BY BARRETT

Occasionally a situation turns up
in a game where an umpire is called
upon to make a common sense rul-
ing. There r a number of odd
situations that arise that r not
covered in the rule book.
I remember several years ago I
look over a big country pitcher by
the name Of Elan Vangilder, who
was knocking the rural boys cold
with a fast ball.
Vangilder was on the hill in this
Sunday game against a team from
Perryville, a nearby town. The
usual pickup collection of semi
pros, bushers and ringers were COL
lected on each side. The intertown
rivalry was very keen.
The game was not particularly
exciting as Vangilder was too good
a pitcher for the other fellows, but
a play came up in the last part Of
the eighth inning that caused more
than ordinary commotion.
The Cape was batting and had
two out and no one on the bags.
The batter also had two strikes
and on the next pitch was prompt
ly called out. He turned to argue
the point and noticed the catcher
had dropped the ball. Instead of
running to first he continued to
jawing with the Jump. The catch
er then threw the ball to the pitch
er, who dropped it into his hip pock-
ct and started walking off the field.
At this time, spurred by shouts
from the bench, the batSman sprint
ed toward first, The pitcher, like
wise realizing the situation also
sprinted to the bag, trying all the
while to get the ball out of his
pocket. 1t. was a close race, but
the pitcher got there first, still
clutching at his pocket.
The base umpire ruled the run
ner out, then reversed himself when
the offensive side pointed out that
the pitcher had another ball in
the same pocket.
1t led to a real country argument
and had the score been close it
might have provoked a hot time
for that umpire. no matter which
way he ruled.

START OVER
Wiley Moore, Texan, Had
Bad Year In 1928, But
Is Coming Back

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
2S.-Mr. Edward Barrow. chief aide
to Col. Jake Rupert, Of the YAM
KEGS, may take credit for signing
Wilcey Moore, the sinker ball art
list, who hopes to stage a comeback
this season.
But I heard different, as they say,
in various parts of the country.
AS a matter of fact Mr. Barrow
came within $4,000 Of making as
bum a guess on MI. Moore az Mr..
Bill Hinchman, of the Pirates, did.
Half 6 dozen big league clubs gave
Moore the once over during the
summer Of 1926, when he was in
the throes of a winning streak with
the Greenville club of the Sally
league. Moore finished the season
that year with something like 80
victories and but three defeats.
Thumbs Down"
He had won II in a row when
Bill Hinchman, ivory hunting for
the Pittsburgh Pirates, gazed OF his
stalwart form. 1t so happened that
Bills final check-up on him was re-
! served for a day destined to see Mr..
Moore bumped off for one of those
three defeats. If there is any diff
frence between looking bad and
looking worse while losing, Moore
looked worse. So Hinchman turned
thumbs down on the price of $1,000
the Greenville club had put on the
Sinker ball artist.
Bob Gilks, then scouting for the
Yankees, also looked the big fellow
over and decided that he would be
worth $1,000 to the Yanks. Gilks
pointed out that they could use him
for that much collateral in a later
trade if he didn't come up to expec-
tations.
The more Gilks watched Wilcey,
the more convinced he became that
Moore would be a good buy. Two or
three phone conversations with Bar
row, however, found the Yankee
business manager only luke warm.
eff we took him on it would be
simply to give us another pitcher
for batting practice" insisted Bar
row..
Along about that time, according
to one of Moore's buddies, the
Greenville club received an offer
Of $4,000 for Moore from a fast
minor league club and, wanting to
give Moore a chance in the big
show. offered him to the Yankees
at that figure. Barrow accepted
the offer.
Of course it is history how Moore
worked in so ball games for the
New York club in 1927-allowed 2.28
earned runs a game and proved the
"key man" of the pitching staff.
More History
1t is history, also, how Mr.. Moore
helped route the Pittsburgh Pirates
in the worlds series of 1927, thereby
collecting a winning share instead
of a losing share of the divvy.
Whether Or not Moore can regain
some Of the effectiveness he showed
