Request for Remittance.
We were so happy for while.
And life was all radiant smile.
Too soon the smile relaxes.
When not a thing seems going wrong,
Somebody always comes along
And talks about the taxes.
We dreamed of castles everywhere
Where all as tenants might repair.
The Fates kept grinding axes,
And bade some heartless elf draw nigh
To make US sound the same old sigh
And talk about the taxes.

The Republican National Convention

from the outset. The convention lasted
until the 9Th of June, when James A.,
Garfield Of Ohio was nominated on the
thirty-sixth ballot. The Star of June
2, 1880, says:
by mutual concessions the threat
ened row between the Grant and anti
Grant factions of the Republican ma
tional committee has been avoided. The
Grant men appear to have gained most
by the compromise The most impor-
tant point they won was securing the,
admission of the solid Grant delegation
from Illinois. Had the 20 contesting
Blaine delegates been admitted, 1t would
have been q severe and perhaps fatal
blow to Grants candidacy. Under the
agreement the AZ Grant delegates wiz
vote in the preliminary organization
of the convention, which is a matter
of no small moment. In counting by
State delegations clear majority Is
against Grant, and therefore the COM

friendly to his candidacy, but with
majority of the delegates In favor of
Grant his friends can vote down ma

on the producers. We can and will help
in every way possible, but what We do
will be Of little permanent value unless
the farmers themselves want to be
helped. They must be ready to assume
their fun share of responsibility for CO.
operative organization and manage
ment, and be willing, once they are so
organized, to act collectively in both the
production and marketing of their crops.
I'm conclusion, wish to say that
many suggestions have been made to
the Farm Board as to means Of dealing
with the nresent wheat surplus. The
most practical of these. in our judy
ment, is that of using wheat and other
small grains as q supplemental feeding
ration to corn, which, according to
many tests made y the various agri-
cultural colleges and also by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Is practical thing
to do. Today the prices of all the small
grains are on substantially lower basis
than the price of corn, yet these tests
all indicate that a substantial percent
age of the feeding ration of live stock,
whether for fattening purposes or dairy
herds, can be made up of wheat and
other cereals.
Marked Economy Is Seen.
Most of the colleges figure that
wheat can be profitably included up to
25 per cent in the feeding ration when
wheat and corn are selling at the same
market price. Today all of the small
grains are selling at substantially lower
prices than corn. Therefore, there
would be a marked economy In using
as large a percentage of the smaller
grains in the feeding ration as prac-
ticable. In the past we have had only
few periods in which there was a
serious shortage of corn available for
feeding purposes.
If the market experience OF those
periods may be taken as a guide for
what is likely to happen this Winter, I
Will say that they indicate that eventr-
ally the price wheat and corn reach
practically the same level and appear to
continue on that basis until the demand
for wheat for human CONSUMPTION
causes the price of that cereal to rise
above the level of other grains, ON
this basis the purchase of grains other
than corn to tx with the feeding ra
ton at IT, present level of prices seems
very attractive to the feeders. but to
get the best results he should start this
mixed ration as early in the feeding

modify sales agencies for the unified
marketing of the different products
of the farm, such as grain, cotton, wool
and live stock. These agencies, which
are made up of State, regional and
local associations, are being formed by
the co-operativeS to merchandise the
products handled by their member as
sociations to the best advantage of the
grower and is not to set aside the law
of supply and demand and artificially
raise prices to the consumer.
Thus far the co-operatives have set
up seven national commodity market
ing agencies, as follows: Farmers Ma

ton Cooperative Association, National

ties to have bargaining power in mar
keting them.
"One point I wish TO emphasize to
this audience Is that these organiza-
tons are farmer-owned and controlled
and that their services are available to
any farmer who is willing to cooperate
with his neighbors.
1.-The board is working with other
cooperative groups, including those
handling dairy products, tobacco, apples.
rice. and fruits and vegetables, looking
to the development of central co-opera-
tive sales agencies for those commodi-
ties. Co-operatives handling apples.

uctS. dried fruits, figs. grain, grass seed
honey, live stock. pecans, poultry and
eggs, grapes and raisins, rice, sour cher
ries, tobacco, wheat, and wool and mo-
hair have received financial assistance
from the board.
Some critics have sought to make
1t appear that the cooperative pro-
gram being developed under the aQri-
cultural marketing act Is contrary to
American principles. After listening
to the story of the Farm Boards work
feel confident that you will agree
with me that we are trying to help agri-
culture In a sound, practical way to
take its rightful place alongside other
industries. There is nothing of Gov
eminent in business or price fixing in
the program, but there Is opportunity
for farmers IL they are willing to CO.
operate and pull together to get or
ganized so that collectively they can
protect themselves in a system where
nearly everybody else is highly organ
lied.
Progress Being Made.
1--WE Of the Farm Board realize there
are many difficulties in the way of
effective cooperation, but believe the
time is at hand when the good sense
of the average farmer will make him
realize that his best interest lies in
working with, not against. his neighbor.
Substantial progress is being made
with the cooperative program, and much
more can be expected in the future.
Experience to date only tends to con-
firm our belief that the principles of the
law are sound, and their application
will lead to the permanent betterment
OF agriculture. We do not contend the
law is perfect, but We are of the opinion
that more experience Is needed before
any serious thought is given to amend
mentS, several Of which have been sug-
geSteo. I1nker1ng with the law at this
time would probably check the progress
that Is being made and benefit the
opposition to cooperative action instead
of the farmer, the individual we are
trying to help.
Neither the agricultural marketing
act nor any other law will of itself
make agriculture prosperous. Farmers
must operate their industry on a sound
financial basis to get that result. Or
ganization is the first step necessary.
The responsibility for that rests largely

Increased with the world carry-over
mounting steadily each year up to 1929
In the past is years Canada, Argentine
and Australia, the principal COMPETE
tors of the United States in the world
market. have increased their combined
wheat acreage by 2B,000,000 acres, or
twice that reported for this country,
In addition to that, many of the i'm
porting countries have taken measures
to stimulate production OF wheat at
home, the purpose being to get as
nearly as possible on self-sustaining
basis. One thing to be borne in mind
Is that wheat can be produced in nearly
every climate and that there are thou
sands of places in the world where
there Is almost unlimited cheap land
available for that purpose.
THE principal competitors in the
world market have one or more of sew
eral advantages over the American
grower including cheap land, cheap Ia
Dor, cheap taxes and cheap transpor-
kation.
In the matter Of transportation,
wheat grown in this country has nat
ural handicap compared to many other
producing centerS when figured on an
export basis, since the large percentage
of the fields Is fully 1000 miles from
the seaboard. In Argentine, for in
stance, the wheat fields are divided by
q navigable stream running through the
entire belt, where ocean-going vessels
load the wheat within comparatively
short distances from where it is grown,
much of it being produced within truck
ing distance of the dock.
Russia Is New Menace.
GAS further menace to the wheat
exporter Of this country we must face
the probability of Russia soon coming
back Into the world market. They are
strongly contending at present that they
will have a substantial quantity to ex-
port this season. We doubt this, but
are convinced that 1t Is only question
Of time until they will be an important
factor. Russia has a larger amount Of
available wheat land than any other
country, and it is well to keep in mind
that before the war Russia was the
largest exporting nation in the world.
Their wheat is produced under condi-
lions which the American farmer can
not possibly meet.
I'm our opinion the facts Just recited
pretty clearly demonstrate that the
world market does not offer the Ameri-
can grower a profitable price. Now, the
question that arises Is whether our grow
ers can stin produce surplus and dis
pose Of 1t abroad without affecting the
price level in the domestic market.
Again our answer is no.
Several schemes have been advanced
Tor disposing of the surplus on the
world market and have the Accent
tariff apply on the wheat consumed at
home. All Of these provide for subsidiz-
ing the expectation of the surplus,
either at the expense of the grower or
indirectly or directly from the Federal
Treasury.
Two of these, the equalization fee
and the debenture, are being pushed
rather vigorously in some quarters,
Their adoption would not get the de-
sired results.
"As We see 1t, there are two reasons
why neither plan could succeed, both of

words, better results viii be Obtained

is made, there Is ahead of us O serious
deficiency of feed necessary TO produce
