have said, effective coordination Of
production with demand must be
brought about through the coopera-
tive associations. Enough progress
has been made. in my opinion, to
indicate that the farmers organi-
cations a meet and solve this
problem as they are meeting and
solving the problems of marketing.
THE production of farm products
in excess OF normal marketing re-
quirements is a waste. 1t Injuries
the producer without benefiting the
consumer. The consumer requires
and should have a normal supply
of food and textile products Of high
uniform quality. The producer de-
Sires a supply which can be sold at
prices which will assure him a rea-
Sonable profit on his farm bus
mess. The development and main
tenance Of a condition Of stability
with regard to production and
price will benefit both producers
and consumers. Such coordination
of supply and demand is a problem
to which the farmer c~ooperatives
must give further attention, and in
the solution of which the federal
farm board must render all possible
assistance.
Calls for Patience
In conclusion I wish to say that
the farmers and the public must be
patient. The problems of agricul-
ture are Of long standing and can
not be solved overnight. On the
contrary, there is always the dan
ger of increasing and aggravating
u difficulties by unwise and pre-
mature action. / wish to assure
you that the federal farm board
will move as quickly as is consist
ent with the assured and perma-
nent improvement Of agriculture.
At the same time, the board will
