Honest Markets and a Fair Price

courts will now decide whether farmers may Trade's "free do business on the Chicago Board of market." another and open competitive It is chap­ ter in the farmer's long fight for honest markets and a fair price. UHE If, under the Grain Futures Act, the Chicago Board of Trade does not restore the Farmers' Grain Corpora­ be tion to full trading privileges by August 8, next, it will order of the suspended as a contract market for 60 days by Secretary of Agriculture, with the concurrence of the Secretary of Commerce and the Attorney General of the United States. The Board of Trade has appealed to the U. S. Circuit Court be to set aside or modify this order. The case may finally taken to the United States Supreme Court and a year's time Hoard of Trade will con­ may elapse. Meanwhile the Chicago tinue to do business. "This Wa fight for the life of co-operative marketing which is vital to the future of agriculture," comments Senator Arthur Capper, author of the Capper-Volstead Co-operative Act, also of the Grain Futures Act. "The Chicago Board of Trade is making desperate efforts to prevent farm marketing groups own also to from having any voice in their markets, prevent their own them from making any profits from handling prod­ ucts. It looks as if the grain exchanges are taking advantage of the depression to try to break the co-operatives, and do not in the I care if they ruin the farmers of the country process. hope the Government stands pat and forces the Chicago Board of Trade to obey the laws of the land. Among those publicly opposing the farmer's effort to win his economic freedom and who has made a place in the grain market, is Arthur Cutten, millions gambling in farmers' grain. Mr. Cutten speaks of with that 'those who grow fat at the farmer's expense.' I agree general statement, but it is the grain gamblers who have grown fat at his expense, not the Federal government." In 1929, and since, the country as a whole, had an expen­ sive object lesson in stock market gambling. It has cost it in cash nearly four times as much as the World War did. Years will be needed to recover from it. In the same way the farm population of the United States, and its vital agricultural in­ dustry, have been the victims of manipulated markets and gambling in grain for years. This has been a long fight for the farmer, but he is going to win it. Since the passage of the Marketing Act and in spite of the breakdown in all commodity prices, including general markets, the 12,000 farmer-owned co-operatives in the United States have increased their total business more than $1,000,- 000,000. Of this vast number of farmer-controlled co-opera­ This is tives less than a tiny fraction of 1 per cent have failed. annals of this a record unparalleled in the business country. There were 4,500 present at the recent annual meeting at Minneapolis, of the "Land 0' Lakes" Creameries Corp. Its business amounts to more than 35 million dollars a year. It sell­ handles eggs and poultry in addition to dairy products, ing 2,139,590 dozen fresh eggs in 1931, besides millions of pounds of high-class butter. This is as it should be-a farmers' business handled by farmers. TAKE "UNCLE DAVE'S" and CHARLEY'S WORD FOR IT
