all other European countries upon the
same basis. In England bread was
sold on q basis Of cents per pound
last year; this year 4 cents per
pound. While both the president and
the farm board refused to interss.s
with the millers and bakers who held
the price Of bread in the United
States up to 10 cents per pound. Fin
ally, the United States senate acted
upon complaints Of this food profi-
teering and the price Of bread has
since been materially decreased and
q very much larger consumption Of
wheat has ensued from that source.
Strange as 4t may seem, In all Of
our recent prosperity" the con-
sumption Of wheat in the United
States steadily declined until 1t reach
ed less than five bushels per capita
with bread at 10 cents per pound.
Had the farm board devoted its at
tention to the selling Of wheat in the
form Of bread to the people of the
United States until we reached the
average consumption of European
countries, we would have q shortage
Of wheat in this country instead of q
surplus. This can readily be seen by
considering the following figures:
Our wheat production is less than
900 million bushels; IL bushels for
122 million persons Is 915 million
bushels. plus IS million bushels for
seed and feed would amount to 800
million bushels or 100 millions BUSH
els more than our present production.
From these figures it IS plainly evil
dent that one Of the principal rea-
sons for the farm board falling to
stabilize the prices Of wheat In the
United States Is that 1t has been
producing under-consumption by sup
porting the food profiteers in MAIN
tanning the unreasonably high levels
Of food prices, for which condition
the farmers are not in any wise re-
sponsible, but the president and the
present administration used the vast
power which is vested in them under
The law to put the matter over, not
the enormous losses
which were repeatedly pointed out to
them that such policy would inflict
upon the farmers. They can not

Editor, Tribune

Editor, Tribune:
The farmers ask me repeatedly ia
explain why the farm board has fail
ed to produce the expected results and
respond to the economic interests Of
the farmers. It is not gracious or
helpful to write II told you So" so !
Will endeavor to analyze frankly the
principal causes for the farm boards
failure to help.
The Farm Marketing Act, Of which
the farm board Is the chief admin
istrative agency, unfortunately was
drawn by the industrialists over the
protests Of all the agricultural mem-
bers Of congress and Of the senate
and simply because the industrialists
have control Of the administration
the act was forced down the throats
Of the farmers and they have been
obliged to swallow the consequences.
The farmers were not consulted in
the appointment Of the farm board
and practically all of the members
camouflage to give them greater poll
clans friendly to the administration
in power. and their relations with
the operating farmer were purely
camouflage to give theb greater poll
tical control and authority. Yet.
notwithstanding this condition, It Is
constantly attempted by the eastern
press to charge back the Responsible
ty for the failure Of the farm board
upon the farmers instead Of placing
the blame where It properly belongs,
upon the industrialists who never
permitted the board to function in the
interests Of the farmers.
The principal reason for the fall
ilrc Of the board to benefit the farm
ers Is that It was q marketing board
with large powers and financial re-
sources which has steadily refused to
market the products purchased under
its control and direction. It Is one Of
the fundamental laws Of trade that
the stablizing Of the price of any COM
modify depends upon finding mar
ket as broad in its demands a. the
supply Of the commoditv to be sold.
Notwithstanding this fundamental
principle Of economics. no amount Of
persuasion could influence the farm
boasd toward finding "a outlet Tor
