The grain merchant naturally tries to buy his grain-as cheaply as he can and sell as high as he can for the purpose of making as .much money as possible, which no one can object to. The farmers' national, however, bids for its members' grain as high a price as it possibly can to enable It to sell the grain without loss, plus the nor mal fees, handling charges and com missions. "Although the average price of grain has been low during the past season. It is my belief that its in fluence has -Increased the prlco or grain for all growers at least soven to ton cents ' per bushel over what they would have received If the farmers' national had not been operating' -Answers Criticism. Answering criticism of the lending of money by the farm board, Mr. Stsne said such loans wore absolute ly necessary because of the difficulty cooperative associations experience, in obtaining necessary credits, "I plight say at this point, how ever, that t has been the policy of tho farm board to encourage all co operatives to use the commercial banks and federal intermediate credit 'banks to the fullest extent and a In run nnrt. rf tlin mnnnv Irmnprl hu t hn farm board has been supplemental to I loans obtained from these sources." Corporation farming, Mr. Stone held, is not the remedy for arm Ills. "I do hot think.11 he said, ''that It is wise to advocate any system which will tend to eliminate the individual farm unit, which, If done, would ser iously affeot tho rural life of our country.'
