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. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

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. 80-ACRE FARM FOR SALE.
