Regulate What the Farmer
- Sells, But Not What He Buys
The American Exchange National
Bank of New York has issued a
pamphlet containing expressions of
opinion on governmental price regu
lation from every state in the, union.
The canvass shows that a majority of
the reports indicated a sentiment in
favor of price regulation for the
period of the war. Governmental ac
tion was opposed by 33 per cent of
the writers.
Nebraska sentiment is indicated by
the statement that "the farmer and
the stockmen think it is not a fair
proposition, that -the prices of all
they raise be subject to regulation,
while the price of everything they
have to buy is not so regulated."
Locy M. Talmage is the Omaha
representative of the New York
bank.

Help Potato Crop By
Boosting Home Grown Apples
Georsre Munro. federal food regula
tor, believes that the Nebraska potato
transportation problem would in part
be solved dealers would promote
sales of Nebraska and Iowa apples in
Dlace of the expensive varieties which
are hauled from points as far as 3,000
miles.
"In eastern Nebraska and western
Iowa we have had an excellent apple
crop. This, is a great apple district.
This fruit is selling for 75 cents per
bushel at the orchards," said Mr. Mun
ro. I can not see the justice of boost
ing the sahrof apples shipped thous
ands of miles fcom the west ana sold
here from $2.25 to $3.50 a bushel,
when the potato growers of our state
arc begging for refrigerator cars in
which to send their crop."
Mr. Munro believes it is the patri
otic duty of Omaha wholesalers and
retailers to take cognizance of this
situation by promoting the sale of
home-grown apples before they push
the varieties shipped 3,000 miles to
this market. ,
