THE FARMERS AND F00D CONTROL FARES Let me holp you plan a worth- while vacation trip Send for free travel bookleu 3 .An, illuminating side light on the. food situation is contained in some I3 rmcn, . -expressions inserted in the Congressional.Record recently by Senator Bemidji Union Shhon /Smith of Michigan. These were from farmers’ organizations ‘and.indi- A, ‘M.:: CLELAND, : - “¥idual’ farmers, ‘and they without exception enddrsed the food " control General Passenger- Agent “measure before congress. St. Paul, Minn. These expressions give us a pretty clelr idea as to whence come the present panic prices. ‘We are told with great unction'that. this is the first time in our -history that the farmer has receéived for his products ‘what they were really worth, But let us see. What is the object of food control? Whence comes the insistent demand? Plainly, the demand 1s the direct result of food prices that are out of all proportion {o wages and to prices in every other line. Is it reasonable to believe that if the farmers were receiving anything like the present retail prices—minus, of course, a reasonable per cent of middlemen’s profits—that they would be not only willing but anxious to kill the goose that lays the golden egg? The plain truth is, the farmer is not benefitted by the present high prices of fopd in any degree to recompense him for what he is injured by extravagant prices in other lines. He is paying vastly more for every .purchase he makes, from a plow point to a tractor engine. What he gains from his small profits on his sales of foodstuffs is more than offset by the enormous increase in the cost of everything that he must buy to operate his farm. This the farmers know, and this is why they are, al- most without exception, heartily in favor of government food control— @ control which will establish a minimum as well as a maximum price.

Merely another instance of what is being done and what is to contine being done. There’s a new deal in Bemidji and vicinity and the few disreputables are no longer to dominate by ulterior machinations. No, not on your life, “bo.” We are told that if we work on a farm we won’t have to go to war, and that if we go to war we won’t have to work on a farm. But what’s bothering some of our yellow-hided Willies is, how they can skip 'em both. lt**#ii*iiflii**: * In the Pioneer yesterday it stated that Mrs. Margaret Baker of the |+ DRESSMAKING * University Extension course is to judge the bread baking contest in|<¥ i i : Bemidjj July 18.
