The United States department; of agriculture ha recently adopted a def- in te policy concerning- wht the comity Kent t and i not to dot U regard to the formation and building up of pro--ducer collective marketing' organlza i tion. Tola near policy la being crtti- , clsed by officials of farmers organ ization and even by county agents wno beljeve that '.successful marketing Is hit u fundamental aa t production, Since collective action i-nas bean con-. ceded to be the beet manner in wbicBf to accornplish orderly marketing, taos i oDoosinr this new policy, can aea no . rood reaaon why assistance should not .be! given in providing- tne meana aa . wii aa pointing" tna general curecoon. ; -i!Tha following ia quoted from a.re rept speech by, H. C: Taylor, chief! of tfee bureau of agricultural economics, of: the department -of agriculture, before Utais Grain Dealers National association ' meeting at New Orleans, and . sums f tori the policy of the department nit this i auibject. Dr. Taylor said: "It is not 1 tha policy of -the department of agri- culture to participate in the organiaa- tion or operation of cooperative or $or. v norata marketlnr -undertakings. The r department simply attempts to collect . and t disseminate Information which may ba useful to anybody who is in terested in maraetmg rarnv product IX in interested in securing the facta of .' marketing" and. getting them, to the People concerned. The. county agent r system waa organised as. a means of carrying-, the - facta to the farmera but the function of the county agent - is to educate and demonstrate methods I : of production and . marketing and not .educational purpose, i In the marketing . of grain whether by independent grain 1' dealers or cooperative grain dealers we are wiiiincr and anxious to nein notn. ft Our purpose is. to promote the most ef . ncient and cheapest system or marKet- - Ing by whomever it might be done. r ' "Apparently-, the reasons for placing 1 the administration of the laws looking toward the regulation of the cotton I trade, the meat trade and the grain trade in the department of agriculture ia the broad economic point of view taken by thia department. While the department Is Interested in agriculture, it is also interested' in; those industries and services which are essential to the distribution of farm -products. Tbe grain trade has reason to look with satisfaction upon the passing of the grain futures act. Had this act not J been passed, bringing with it the re 1 assurance to the people that the grain trade will be operated in the public in- :i terast. ; mere is every probability that I destructive legislation might have been i enacted. The grain futures act ia not f destructive. 1 The department of agriculture ree- egnisea the importance of the functions performed by the grain trade and all of its effort is centered upon the questions of efficiency and fairnesa Its potnf of view fa constructive and not destructive It 1 Interested in th d(!lonmBt ftf th mt .tfrlpfatit i system of marketmjr farm product. .It is also interested In educating every if one concerned. Including producers and consumers, with regard to the functions performed by : the middleman at the various stages in the marketing of farm products and the elements' of eost j involve in tne rendering or thisservice, xnus, wnue tne department of arricui ture administers many federal acU re- jUatlng to the distribution of farm prod ucts, it leoaa upon tne- sciennne study of the problems of production -and dis tribution and the-education of the peo ple in these aobiecU aa the most im portant .means of vurttinr 'the business i products on a higher plane of effict enry.. .- !
