A Nicholi' Worth of Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Prose future Writes Washington, Jan. 27 (U.RI Look at it this way, said the congressman from Iowa: The farmer is "taking a terrific 1 i c Ic ing" In the price he gets for the things he grows, while he still is pay i n g wartime prices for what he has to buy "I'll g 1 v LiMJ Nichols you a good ex ample,'7 said Rep. James I Dolliver, e nlcasnnt little republican from Fort Dodge. "I got letter from a dirt farmer the other day who said he sold a load of hogs for $700 about a year ago. Twelve months later this farmer carted twice the number of hogs to market and received only $623 for them. "This fellow, like other farm ers, has a right to raise a fuss. He's paying the same price for overalls, overshoes, hog feed and everything else. It doesn't add up." The congressman warmed up to his subject as we talked In his suite in the new house office building. Dolliver explained that this farmer, like many another, has interest to pay on his invest ment. Mo Price Decrease "The Interest has not de creased," said the man from Fort Dodge. "Neither has the price he pays for seed, fertilizer, equipment, repairs and the fuel he needs to heat his home, his hen house and to run his combine." Also, he said, the price the farmer gets for his products is something over which the hay- shaker has no control. But the man In the city controls the price the man in blue denim oavs for a new milk nail Dolliver argues, with consid erable sense, that the farmer can get along without the city guy, but that the urbanite would starve to death without the man on the plow. To put it another way, as the Fort Dodge congressman did, the "farmer has his hands tied with baling wire." "If you get too much steel in the city, they turn down the fur naces and cut down on produc tion," he said. "But can a farmer atop the corn from growing? "No! Can't Turn On Sun "By the same token, the in dustrialist can hypo his produc tion when supplies get low. But the farmer can't reach for a but ton and turn on the sun during a wet spell when the corn needs heat. The farmer can't speed the time for a calf to grow into a cow that'll give milk. He can't prod a hen into laying more eggs when the market goes up. He can't stop a cow from giv ing a normal quota of milk just Decau.se tne price has dropped.
