S'MATTER POP by c. m. payne TOUGH GANG, TOO! an increasingly complex relationahip, which demandi some form of control over economic forces. What shall be the nature of this control; shall It be, as some would have it, control by political government attempting to legislate prosperity to this group or that? Or, shall it be self-control by men organized along the lines of mu tual interest, with political govern ment, backed by an informal public opinion, protecting the public inter est by prescribing broad rules of con duct? "I am one of those who believe that our hope lies in the latter form of control." The secretary also cautioned against putting "more desert and swamp land into cultivation," and urged adoption of a comprehensive agricultural policy that among other things would aim to provide in the country opportunities equal to those offered in tho cities for persons of comparable ability." RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. Whereas it has pleased our Heaven ly Father to summon to her eternal home our beloved sister, Mildred Alice Bayless, who was a faithful member of Ruth Chapter No. 32, for many years; Be it resolved that we bow in hum ble submission to the will of the Om nipotent, and that we extend to the bereaved family our deepest sym pathy; that we drape our Charter in mourning in memory of our departed sister; that a copy of these resolu itons be spread on the minutes of the Chapter and a copy be sent to the family and one to the press. "There must be something after death; Behind the toil of man. Farm Organization Urged By Secretary Jardne. Portland Oregonian. Holding that farm aid should be tfased on a firmer foundation than a "press the button at Washington" structure, Secretary Jardine express, ed belief today that the agricultural situation could be improved best by farmers organizing on a large scale and adopting strong business policies. Setting forth his views in an arti cle prepared for the farm journal, published at Philadelphia, the agri culture secretary advocated creation of a federal farm board and the pro vision of a revolving fund to assist the farmers in the undertaking. "There are two lines of approach to the solution, as I see it," he said. "The first is in controlling surpluses that are due mainly to weather con ditions. This may be done by hold ing a part of the abundant crop from one season to the next or from one year to another. It is als oimportant to secure a more regular flow of the produce into trade channels. Market Control Wanted. "The second approach is through a better adjustment of production to market conditions. By this I mean adjustment in kind, quality and amount of production. This calls for more complete and accurate informa tion on supply and demand at home and abroad, made readily available to farmers in time to help them regu late production. It also calls for re liable data on production problems in each region to supplement the farm ers' experience in the combination of enterprises on the farm. "In handling surpluses due to weather conditions, I believe much would be done through commodity stabilization corporations, operated by the faimers themselves, or by their marketing organizations under the general guidance of a federal farm board. "The essential function of such a corporation would be to take otf the market for a time a certain amount of a commodity to prevent the price from falling to a ruinously low level. Revolving Fund Sought. "I shall not attempt to outline in detail the powers and functions of the suggested farm board. Among the duties would be that of formu lating plans and policies for handling surpluses of farm products for the purpose of minimizing price fluctua tions, and . . should also aid in es tablishing clearing-house associations tor handling perishables. "An ample revolving fund, to be administered by the board according to law, should be available to help co-operatives establish themselves on an effective basis. This fund should also be used to help carry a surplus from one year to the next. "As a means of handling surpluses this plan is in accord with proposals which I have endorsed before. Suc cess depends on the willingness of farmers to organize on a large scale rnd to adopt strong business policies. Producers must be willing to build from the bottom up. They must for get any petty quarrels between local leaders and organizations and feder ate their locals into regional and na tional organizations handling large volumes of business. The best minds, experienced in the trade, must head tuch organizations. With such a set up the government could do much more than it has done. Not Trice Fixing Scheme. "This plan would not put the gov ernment into the business of buying and selling farm products. This is in no sense a scheme of price fixing. It would not interfere with the regu lar functions of co-operative market ing organizations. "The suggested plan of handling surpluses of staple crops is not at all a question of more credit to put the farmer deeper in debt, but one of suitable credit to' put him in a better position to handle his surplus. "Effective co-operation must be built from the bottom up, not from the top down. We cannot lay out on I aper an elaborate scheme for co-operative mai keUng, have some govern mental official 'press the button at Washington,' and then find wonders accomplished for agriculture. "Farmers themselves must be will ing to act together; leaders of local organizations must be able to work together in large federations for a common purpose. Then the govern ment can do a great deal to help farmers.
