S1 “ JULY 12. 1935 A CORRECTION The editor of The Dalles Chronicle has lately become seriously enamored with the AAA. At first he upheld it without evidence of deep conviction, then he praised it greatly and lately he has stated with the certainty of a closed mind that it is the only farm legislation that has , done the farmer any good. This lapse of memory should not go unnoticed or un corrected. Neither does one have to go back to the home stead law of Lincoln’s time to find a farm act that helped the farmers.. The government law that made it possible for the farmers to form co-operative organizations in every marketing town in the land was and has continued to be of great benefit to the farmers and has especially aided the development of The Dalles, itself. Through the purchase of wheat by the government it prevented that commodity from decreasing in price as fast as it did in the early 1920s and had normal crops been har vested would probably have kept the price high enough to return a profit to wheat growers. We are not, however, attempting to justify the purchase of commodities by the government. It is a scheme that has never been successful. It is not necessary to justify it in this case at point. Reforms in the marketing situation were started by the cooperative movement that have been far reaching and they should not be forgotten. Because of co-operation of farmers the shipment of wheat by water has been furthered in the northwest. Farm agencies were interested in gettirg the wheat to market at the cheapest price while wheat handling firms were interested in making a profit for them selves and the cost of transportation was a secondary con sideration. The grain cooperatives have been instrument al in cutting and holding down the freight rates. The farm ers have received the benefit. Until the cooperatives were started there were few farmers in the wheat country who received any premium for protein wheat, in fact, there were few who knew that protein wheat was more valuable. Now premiums up to fifteen cents are paid on some wheats. Such premiums are marked on every sales slip now for every seller to see The farmers have benefited. Overweight in wheat formerly accrued to the ware house company or to the warehouse manager, many of whom succeeded in reaching a financial competence much greater than their salaries would permit, by this means. Now the returns from this overweight go back to the share holders who are farmers and who have benefitted. It is all very well to praise the AAA, for the theory of crop reduction to meet domestic needs was probably neces sary considering the world conditions that made wheat ex ports difficut if not impossible. It is, however, incorrect to say that it is the only farm plan that has aided the farm ers. An expenditure of $300,000 is anticipated in this county by the Soil Conservation Service and CCC men used in the work. The government expects the work to do that much good to the farms and for the farmers of the county. The county is aiding by allowing the use of the camp ground and the city is aiding by giving a price on the water used. Both contributions together are lees than one percent of the total expenditure proposed. The work, if successful at all, will aid the county and its citizens in retaining the pro ductivity of the soil and in encouraging diversification of crops. Thia ia the beginning of the dog days when the actions of congress are heated by the sun instead of by argument, when movie and radio stars go traipsing about the country to pick up a little summer income, when ball players are in their hey dey and when the weather is too pleasant for any one to get excited about anything. It is proper vacation weather. Too bad we all cannot stretch out under a tree along some mountain stream or loll near the sea coast while the world goes on without us for a few weeks. FRIDAY.
