So Says James N. McBride in Address
Before National Conference on
Marketing and Farm Credits.
Chicago, Dec. 7. In addressing the
fourth National Conference on Mar
keting and Farm Credits here today,
James N. McBride. state market di
rector of. Michigan, recognized the
merit of making two blades of grass
grow where one grew before,' but. ex
pressed the opinion that the blade in
the first instance be. made to pay a
prolt to the producer.
One fault which the speaker found
with American co-operative organiza
tions was that they compete with each
other instead, as in Denmark, of co
operating among themselves.
"The greatest benefit that agricul
tural organizations could do for both
producer and consumer would be to
assert their power to make farming
ompensatory and in that way increase
production," he said. "This is the
protective tariff idea applied to ag-
iculture. Instead of inveighing
against speculation and asking for
legal prohibitions thereof, the cooper
ative determination of prices by agri
cultural organization would be the
most effective weapon for its suppres
sion." The farmer, like the manufacturer,
should fix the price of his product,
said G. E. Prater, jr., of Paw Paw,
Mich., manager of a co-operative fruit
handling company, in addressing the
National Conference on Marketing
and and Farm Products here this
afternoon.
Mr. Prater said he had observed
great "bullish" enthusiasm among
commission merchants seeking the
business of growers, but wonderful
"bearish ness" on arrival of fruits at
the commission house.
"Fruit growers of Michigan," said
Mr. Prater, "still are facing the prob
lem of whether to continue the old
method of consigning their fruit
(thereby letting the 'other fellow' set
the price) or to try to interest individ
ual buyers in their product."
After the formation of the Mich
igan Fruit Growers' organization, M.
Prater said, in closing, Michigan
grapes rose to a parity in price with
those from other sections. In the last
five years, he said, the traveling grape
buyer has been a curiosity in this ter
ritorj "Americans have grown out of the
pioneering habit, which ever lured
their forefathers to establish further
boundaries," E. Dana Durand of the
University of Minnesota today told
delegates to the fourth annual Con
ference on Marketing and Farm Cred
its. He was discussing in particular
the land settlement problems of north
ern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mich
igan. The northern parts of these states'
he said, contain milions of acres of
fertile land which is well watered, but
because of the difficulties of clearing
them they have remained untenanted.
Whereas in Iowa, four-fifths of the
land is under cultivation, Mr. Durand
said, that the proportion in Minne
sota, Wisconsin and Michigan is but
two-fifths. The great difficulties of
fered to the modern pioneer in these
sections, he said, are forests, stones
and swamps. He stated, however, that
these difficulties are no greater than
those confronted by frontiersmen who
conquered Indiana and Ohio.
A paper read today at the fourth
annual Conference on Marketing and
Farm Credits by Victor K. Mcllheny,
president of the American Fruit and
Produce Auction association enum
erated reasons why American fruit
and vegetable growers should distrib
ute their products by auction.
The speaker referred repeatedly to
the New York auctions to illustrate
his points. Buyers there, he said, were
wholesale grocers, chain stores, ped
dlers, hotels, cafes, retailers, fancy
fruiterers and jobbers.
"California decidious fruit growers,
by reason of dissatisfaction with pri
vate selling, turned to the auction
twenty-eight years ago, when their
crop was 1,000 cars annually, he said.
Today their crop is 17,000 cars an
nually and they would not think of
returning to private selling methods."
Mr. Mcllheny believed there was
only one essential to make the auction
method successful. That, he said, was
constant supply.

PRICE OF COAL TO

Government Examination in High
Food Cost Takes Definite
Form.
Washington, D. C, Dec. C The fed
eral investigation of the high cost of
living began today to take definite
form, with indications that it would
extend to every section of the United
Mates. Jot only is a sweeping in
quiry into the caur.e of the soaring
cost of foodstuffs contemplated, but
the recent pinch in the coal supply
and its resultant price advances also
will be made, in all probability, the
subject of broad investigation.
Officials began to cope in earnest
with the problems presented by the
situation. The president took under
consideration preliminary reports
which others yet to come will form
the basis for recommendations he may
make to congress.
Many Speeches in House.
A dozen speeches on the subject
were made in the house and several
resolutions, proposing inquiries were
introduced. These were referred to
committees without discussion, most
of them going to the interstate and
foreign commerce committee, of which
Representative Adamson, who is op
posed to embargoes, is the chairman.
Department of Justice officials held
conferences todav with members of
the federal trade commission and Dis
trict Attorney Anderson of Boston, in
charge of the department of investiga
tion, is here to formulate a definite
plan of conducting the nation-wide
inquiry. About fifty investigators of
the department's bureau of investiga
tion were reported to be gathering
data which will determine the attor
ney general's course of action.
Commission to Aid.
The Interstate Commerce commis
sion probably will be called upon to
aid by furnishing data relative to ship
ments of foodstuffs, and Mr. Anderson
will confer with commission officials
before his departure. Grand jury in
vestigation at New York or Chicago,
or both, of the reasons for rising
prises are still under consideration.
With the program still in process of
formation, there were increasing in
dications that officials were consider
ing the situation from three angles,
namely:
First Determination of the actual
cause of the rapid rise in foodstuffs
and coal, whether it was due to na
tural economic laws, to the unwar
ranted action of individual dealers
and producers in advancing prices, or
whether there exist agreements among
groups of dealers or producers to
boost prices.
Second Vigorous prosecution of
persons or firms, if any, who, by viola
tion of existing laws in making agree
ments to raise prices or otherwise
have contributed to the upward trend
of prices.
Third Enactment of legislation to
remedy the present situation and to
prevent its recurrence.
To Investigate Exchanges.
The situation is in the first of these
stages, so far as the department of
justice is concerned. With its investi
gators already at work department of
ficials called upon the federal trade
commission for co-operation and were
promised all data which the commis
sion already may have bearing on the
situation, and further aid in obtaining
information which can be acquired
without adding materially to the bur
den imposed upon the commission by
other pending inquiries.
In addition, department officials are
understood to be considering the ad
visability of investigating such organ
izations as the Chicago board of trade,
the Chicago Butter and Egg exchange,
the Elgin board of trade, and the New
York Produce, Sugar and Coffee ex
changes, with a view to ascertaining
by what practices the market values
of certain foodstuffs dealt in by these
bodies are determined. An inffuiry
into the amount of foodstuffs held in
all the cold storage establishments of
the country and possibly as to the vol
ume of grain stored in elevators also
is said to be under consideration.
