URGES COOPERATIVE
FARM ENTERPRISES
Berta E. Baker Sees Need Of
Rapid Change in Economic
Structure of Country

Thinking people among the farm
ers and among those In other voca-
tons have foreseen for many years
that the farm producer must CO.
operatively control his marketing
system or eventually meet disaster,
said Berta E. Baker, state treasurer,
in a radio address recently.
Referring to the condition Of agri-
culture today as "desolate," Mrs.
Baker stated that the farmer has
come to the point where he cannot
longer continue to absorb losses in
Cured during the last 10 years. The
reserves which the farmer had built
up during more prosperous times are
row almost completely dissipted Mrs.
Baker asserted. and the farmer must
soon begin to produce at a profit or
quit producing.
She sees the necessity Of some
rapid change in the economic struc-
ture Of the country before confidence
in the government itself is destroyed.
Through the control Of u market
-ng system by those interested in the
profits to themselves, instead Of
service to the producer. Mrs. Baker
said, we have reached an i~ntolerable
situation that cannot long be MAIN
tanned without calamity to all of us.
Only by cooperative measures can
the farmer expect to market his pro-
ducts profitably, Mrs. Baker indi-
Gated, and she asked for the whole
rearted support of every one with
the interests Of the state at heart to
support cooperative enterprises.
Commenting on the objective of the
Farmers Union to have farmer-owned
and farmer-operated organizations,
she said, Let us forget III petty Diff
~ferences. let us forget political, social
and religious barriers and support
this farm organization which Is real
ly the backbone Of the farm boards

C0uld't Find Body

Searchlights failed to pick up the
body in the murky waters and Kraft
was reported a suicide when the ship
locked here the next day. But with
the discovery Of the bullet = pierced
body three days later on the rivers
mudflats, Miss Orde, Nc ouldrich
and Epstein were ordered held.
The girl was taken to the Cuth of
the river to identify the body. She
collapsed at the grave and accused
McG ouldrich, who was indicted on
the basis of her statements. Later
she recanted these accusations, de-
claring she made them under duress.
Dozens Of witnesses were examined
at preliminary hearings, but to no
avail. No one had heard q shot
aboard the Creole the night that
Kraft died. No pistol was found.
Some investigators conjectured that
Kraft, a powerful swimmer, might
have been shot In the water by boot
leggers, but there was no tangible evi-
dence to support this theory, either.
And so Father Mississippi, full Of
mysteries, added another to his COL
lection.

that it was marred toward the end
because Kraft became jealous of at

by Sammy Epstein, q steward.
