This, of course, is not at all honorable. The Grower’s Price Can farmers fix prices? } rural people are flocking to cities, They would eliminate the middic- man by occupying that position themselves. They would deal more } directly with the ultimate consumer, which may, or may not lower prices consumers pay, It would, however, increase the farmer's mar- sin of profit. |, The monumental program Lyman suggests, is nothing other than a | food growers’ trust. Farmers would deliver their product to thetr national marketing company, which in turn would direct ft to the | market where it was most sorely needed and where by reason of that | need the prices are highest. When the prices there dropped below other markets, food would be warehouses, elevators, all under farmer-control. Now they are stored under miller, grain dealer, packer, speculator control. Obviously the city consumer would be no worse off. He would be changing his master; that’s all. Instead of contributing to the support of a few manipulators of food products, he would be handing that money over to @ larger body of farmer-controllers. This must be| remembered: farmers have expressed no intention of forming thelr food trust to fill the city housewife’s market basket at a lower price They are going into tt to fatten their own pocketbooks, What, then, should the city consumer do?
