BERGEN FARMERS CLUB ASKS U.S. “TO FIX MININUM PRICK ON WHEAT Bergen, N. D., Jan. 13.—The Ber- gen Farmers club of Bergen town- ship, Nelson county, has gone on rec- ord calling upon Congress to estab- lish an emergency minimum price upon"wheat. The club will endeavor to enfist other farmers’ organizations in the state in the movement. The resclution follows: 5 “Whereas, wheat is the staff of life and the basic industry of North Da- .ota, and, Fi “Whereas, due to disastrous wheat prices debts are increasing, taxes un- paid, schools being closed, -bank re- serves are being depleted, mortgages foreclosed, farmers are leaving their farms, being driven into bankruptcy, tenantry- increasing at an alarming rate, the farmers buying power wiped out resulting in general business de- pression’: and causing factories to close, throwing men and women, out of employment, and, ‘Whereas, no industry can long en- dure where returns do not meet cost of operation, and, Whereas, the ~ increased -price of wheat to the grower means but a rel- atively smal{ increase: in :price to the consumer, and, “Whereas, all industry. being more ‘or less directly dependent on agri- cultural prosperity. makes it ja mat- against the same catastrgphe, either shut down, their plants or operated them at reduced capacity,, and thus six millions of men were left wholly or partially without employment, with corresponding lo: of buying power of the commodities needed. for them- selves and families, aggregating thir- ty millions of people. The interdependence of the agricul- tural worker and the industrial er was never more forcibly /iilu ed. Few, , of the products of either cla be sold’ or, ex- changed on a basis which would yield just compensation. “Does it not follow that the farmer must adjust himself to a new high plane of fixed charges in doing busi- ness, and that his only hope is to establish and maintain such price as will enable him to meet succes: fully the changed conditions. I am of the opinion f ers should now take account collectively of the needs of the country and of such, foreign countries as can be reached, and-ad- just their planting and sowing to meet such demand. “What the farmer most needs is better markets and wider markets for his produéts. With these he can take care of himself without special gov- ernmental favors in the nature of special credits. What farmer and consumer both need is the elimination of all useless middle men, many of whom are nothing more or less than business parasites. The farmers simply ask a belated ‘ecognition of their right to organize their business. The farm organiza- result was a. suddey return to pre- war and below pre*war prices for practically every product of the farm, There were other declines but there was none so drastic as that which overtook the farmer. _ “Industrial — operators, | hedging pat) Uo copie cai aod gripes remedy for 8, colds and grippe.
