THE FARMERS POSITION
ON PRICES

Editor Western News
Much is heard today about farm
prices. Many are the criticism of the
farmer. Newspapers say that the
farmer is "profiteering.
Here are some of the facts as
given by National Grange Master
Goss: THE per capita income of
farmers is today approximately one
fourth that of non-farmers, even
after including rent and the pro-
duce from his own farm in the
farmers ncome II there is any
nrofiteering in foodstuffs, it is after
the crops have left the farm. Those
who try to raise prejudice against
the farmers by charging them with
being profiteers either do not know
the facts or are deliberately mis-
representing the situation.
No effort has been made by the
Price Administrator to control the
profit spread between what the
farnars receive from his crop and
the consumers pay for it, says Mr.
Goss.

believe in sales to break the market
and saddle subsidy program on us
The only answer is an honest two
price system, with fair nrice &c
consumers and producers alike for
what is normally consumed domes-
tically, and price on the surplus

emergencies such as lend lease. COM

parity formula. Until the Admin
istration and Congress are willing
to treat all segments of our econ
omy equitably, we will drift stead
lily into more and more initiation,
explained Master Goss.
The Grange does not expect that
their parity plans will be accepted
at once but they are pleased to
know that President Roosevelt has
listened to the Grange plan. Grang-
ers will be glad to have the change
come gradually. With the Grange
