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.

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.
"Groups of producers and sections
of the country are bound together in
