To Back Legge
And Farm Board


And Farm Board
tContinrer @rom nee oneJ
Is the result Of overproductton IL
this farm field.
Commenting on the grain storage
situation, Marshall stated every
producer now sees the absolute neces-
sity for more storage room, both ct
the primary grain markets and 1t the
terminals.
Il am not much concerned q to
who owns the storage facilities Of
North Dakota-let 1t be the state o.
the cooperatives-just so they are
operated in the interests Of the pro-
ducers Of the state" the senator said
explaining that modern mechanical
grain handling methods were respon-
sible for the congestion and advocat.
ing the building Of more storage IA
cilities.
Approves Amended Tariff
Marshall approved Of the amended
Smoot-H awley Tariff bill g passed
by the senate "as q step, although q
short one. in the right direction" In
lauding Senators Borah, Norris. Ia.
Toilette and other ProgresstveS for
preventing the Grundy rates from
going into effect"
THE Grundy rates for industry
would have levied an enormous tr1b.f
ute upon the common people. Grumpy
says VI are backward states and
Moses called us Sons Of the wild
Jackass.' But we must not be fright
ened because q few pampered pets Of
industry call US names. We must
continue our fight for equality for
agriculture"
Loyalty of the farmers to the local
businessman was urged by the Sen
ator attacking the chain stores Is
the same outside interests that have
opposed the farmer for years"
The farmers views on organized
labor have changed, the senator de-
clared. Agriculture has come to
realize that the problems Of the
farmer and Of the working man are
to q great extent identical. Lower
prices to the farmer bring no cor.
responding benefit to the workine
man."
Pleads for Farm Women
do you people of the towns and
cities realize that the farmer today
has his back to the vail? There
seems to be a feeling that this con.
dition is largely the farmers own
fault. I am sorry this impression has
gone out. az the farmer Is but the
victim Of conditions over which he
has no control. Go with me into the
average farm home and you Win
notice that most Of the convenience
and some Of the necessities Of the
modern home are lacking. Running
water, bath tubs, electric lights and
electric washing machines are COM
p~aratively unknown.
I'VE men have secured our. labor
saving devices and up-to-date ma
chinery as fast as We could afford 1t.
but labor saving machinery for the
farm woman has been slow coming.
And as long ~ farming remains the
losing proposition that It Is today the
women will suffer more than the
men. We must give more thought to
removing the drudgery from the
farm home. Our women are entitled
to enjoy some Of the comforts and 3
few Of the Injuries Of lfe," the ZEN.
ator said.

ers' fight for state industries. Senator
