Purely from If for no higher motive, we should help them. All of us want to get back permanently to "normalcy;" but Is It reasonable to hope for that condition unless our greatest and most basic Industry can be put on a sound and solid permanent foundation? The farmers are noc entitled to special privileges; but are they not right in demanding that they be placed on an equal footing with the buyers of their products and with other Industries? t, II Let us, then, consider some of the farmer's grievances, and see how far they are real. In doing so, we should remember that, while there have been, and still are, Instances of purposeful abuse, the subject should not be ap proached with any general imputation to existing distributive agencies of deliberately Intentional oppression, but rather with the conception that the marketing of farm products has not been modernized. An ancient evil, and a persistent one, is the undergradlng of farm prod ucts, with the result that what the farmers sell as of one quality Is re sold as of a higher. That this sort of chicanery should persist on any important scale in these days of business Integrity would seem almost Incredible, but there Is much evidence that it does so persist. Even as I write, the newspapers announce the suspension of several firms from the New York Produce Exchange for exporting to Germany as No. 2 wheat a whole shipload of grossly Inferior wheat mixed with oats, chaff and the like. Another evil Is thst of Inaccurate weighing of farm products, which. It Is charged, Is sometimes a matter of dishonest Intention and sometimes of protective policy on the part of the local buyer, who fears that he may weigh out" more than he "weighs In." A greater grievance Is that at pres ent the field farmer has little or no control over the time and conditions of marketing his products, with the result that be Is often underpaid for his products and usually overcharged for marketing service. The difference between what the farmer receives and what the consumer pays often exceeds all possibility of Justi fication. To cite a single Illustration. Last year, according to figures attest ed by the railways and the growers. received Georgia watermelon-raiser- s oh the average 7JJ cents for a melon. the railroads got 12.7 cents for carrying It to Baltimore and the consumer paid one dollar, leaving 79.8 cents for the service of marketing and Its risks, aa against 20.2 cents for growing and The hard annuls of transporting. farm-lif- e are replete with such commentaries on the crudeness of present practices. Nature prescribes that the farmer's "goods" must be finished within two or three months of the year, while financial and storage limitations generally compel him to sell them at the same tlnie. As a rule, other Industries are in a continuous process of finishing goods for the markets) they distribute as they produce, and they can curtail production without too great Injury to themselves or the community; but If the fanner restricts Ids output, it Is with disastrous consequences, both to himself and to the community. The average farmer Is busy with production for the major part of the year, etl haa nothing to sell. The hulk of his output comes on the mar ket at once. Because of lack of stor ' age facilities and of financial support, the farmer csnnot carry his goods through the year and dispose of them as they are currently needed. In the great majority of cases, farmers have to entrust storage In warehouses and elevators and the financial carrying of their products to others. Farm products are generally mar keted at a time when there Is a conand gestion of both transportation finance when cara and money are scsne. The outcome. In many In stances, Is that the farmers not only sell under pressure, and therefore at a disadvantage, but are compelled to take further reductions In net returns.

Hence, to embitter and impoverish the farmer is to dry up and contaminate the vital of sources of the nation. The war showed convincingly how dependent the nation Is on the full productivity of the farms. Despite herculean efforts, agricultural production kept only a few weeks or months ahead of consumption, and that only by Increasing the acreage of certain staple crops at the cost of reducing that of others. We ought not to forget that lesson when we ponder on the farmer's problems. They are truly common problems, and there should be no attempt to deal with them as if they were purely selfish demands of a clear-cu- t group, antagonistic to the rest of the community. Rather should we consider agriculture in the light of broad national policy, just as we consider oil, coal, steel, and so forth, as sinews of national strength. Our growing population and a higher standard of living demand Increasing food supplies, and more wool, cotton, hides, and the rest. With the disappearance of free or cheap fertile land, additional acreage and Increased yields can come only from costly effort. This we need not expect from an impoverished or unhappy rural population. It will not do to take a narrow view of the rural discontent, or to appraise It from the standpoint of yesterday. This Is peculiarly an age of flux and change and new deals. Because a thing always has been so no longer means that It Is righteous, or always shall be so.
