Des Moines. Iowa, Aug. 26.-(P)-
Belief that farm prices can be stabil-
lied and the farmer given q better
return for his product without in
creasing the cost of living was ex-
pressed today by c. B. Denman, a
member Of the federal farm board, in
an address at the Iowa state fair.
Cooperative marketing and close
supervision Of production is the key
to greater prosperity for agriculture,
Denman said. He added that where
cooperative marketing has its greatest
volume Of control both producer and
consumer usually are experiencing the
best price condition.
The commissioner specifically ad-
vised hog raisers Of Iowa, who pro-
duced more than 20 per cent Of the
hogs Of the country, to lay plans for
formation Of their local cooperative
marketing units into "a national
farmer owned. farmer controlled or
ganization."
He said only five per cent Of Iowa
hogs are marketed through . single
selling agency and that the farmer is
not getting what he should for this
product because he appears to be
eauging his production by looking at
his corn cribs and not ct the present
day housewife demands"
Denman declared that Iowa pro-
duced more and heavier hogs In 1925
even though tho demand for pork and
pork products had shown q decline
since l026
IF that surplus could be controlled
at its source" and the price level
raised by efficient production anc
marketing, farm relief would take Or
