And he does it on the war-time basis, when wheat was | selling five times and more per bushel | than it has been sold this year. | “Better methods of distribution could give the farmer a larger share of the consumer’s dollar without costing the | consumer a single additional cent. What | we need, and need tremendously in that | connection, is to take up the slack. Part | of the cost of distribution is for freight. | And this is the time chosen by the railroads for piling heavier freight rates than ever on the farmer's shoulders.

They asked for the debenture plan. Instead. they were given the huge and costly lemon— the Farm Board—for which they did not ask.” Speaking of the proposal to reduce acreage and prevent crop surpluses, he said: “I am not saying that it should not be done. But I point out that it is easier said than done, and that it has its disadvantages.” Commenting on the tariff, Gov. Pinchot said he was “a_ protectionist. but the kind of tariff T believe in is one whose goed effects appear not only in the profits of capital and in the wages of labor, but also in the returns of the farmer. * * * The Government has forgotten that our country cannot pros- per unless the farmer not only produces well, but sells his crops well, and lives | well with his family on the farm.
