Now, »dial Is the fanner asking?
Without trying to catalogue the re­
medial measures that have been sug­
gested In his behalf, the principal pro-
postils that bear directly on the Im­
provement of his distributing and mar­
keting relations may be summarized as
follows :—
First : storage warehouses for cot-
i 'ti, wool, and tobacco, and elevators
for grain, of sufficient capacity to meet
the maximum demand on them at the
peak of the marketing period. The
farmer thinks that either private capi­
tal must furnish these facilities, or the
slate must erect and own the eleva­
tors and warehouses.
Second: weighing and grading of
agricultural products, end certification
rlierpof, to he done by impartial and
d »interested public inspectors (this Is
already accomplished to some extent
by the federal llcenklng of weighers
and graders), to eliminate underpay­
ing. overcharging, and unfair grading,
and to facilitate the utilization of the
stored products ns the basis of credit.
Third : a certainty o f credit sufficient
to enable the marketing o f products
In an orderly manner.
Fourth: the Department of Agricul­
ture should collect, tabulate, summa­
rize, and regularly and frequently pub­
lish and distribute to the fanners, full
Information from all the markets of
the world, so that they shall be as well
Informed of their selling position as
buyers now are of their buying posi­
tion.
F ifth : freedom to Integrate the busi­
ness of agriculture by means of con­
solidated selling agencies, co-ordinat­
ing and co-operating In such way as to
put the farmer on an equal footing
with the large buyers o f his products,
and with commercial relations In other
Industries.
When a business requires specialized
talent, it has to buy It. So will the
farmers ; and perhaps the best way for
them to get It would he to utilize some
of the present machinery of the larg­
est established agencies dealing In
farm products. Of course, If he wishes,
the farmer may go further and engage
in finnr-mllllng and other manufactures
of food products. In my opinion,
however, he would be wise to stop
short of that. Public Interest may be
opposed to all great Integrations; but,
'n Justice, should they be forbidden to
the former and permitted to others?
The corporate form of association can­
not now be wholly adapted to Ms ob­
jects and conditions. The looser co­
operative form seems more generally
suitable. Therefore, he wishes to be
tree, if he finds It desirable and fens
ible, to resort to eo-operatlon with his
fellows and neighbors, without run
nlng afoul of the law. To urge that
the farmers should have the same lib­
erty to consolidate and co-ordinate
their peculiar economic functions
which other industries In their fields
enjoy, Is not. however, to concede that
any holiness Integration should have
legislative sanction to exercise monop­
olistic power. The American people
sre as firmly opposed to Industrial as
to political autocracy, whether at­
tempted h.v rural or by urban Industry.
For lack of united effort the farmers
as a whole are still marketing their
