The American people are as firmly opposed to Industrial as to political autocracy, whether at- tempted by rural or by urban Industry. For lack of united effort the farmers as a whole are still marketing thelr crops by antiquated methods, or by no methods at all, but they are surrounded by a business world that has been modernized to the last minute and Is tirelessly striving for efficiency. This efficiency is due In large measure to big business, to united business, to In- tegrated business, The farmers now geek the benefits of such largeness, un- fon and Integration, the moderns in the use of labor saving machinery, and he has made vast strides In recent years In sclentifie tillage and efficient farm management, businesses sgirculture is a “one horse shay” In competition with high power automobiles. The American farmer ls the greatest and most Intractable of individualists. While Industrial pro duction and all phases of the huge com- mercial mechanism and its myriad ac. cessorles have articulated and co-ordl. nated themselves all the way from nat- much the one man fashion of the back- when teenth century, the great result is that Is almost as much, what The group or care very world was doing, the agricultural Chicago city hall, The leaders of the farmers thoroughly understand integrate their Industry so that it will be on an equal footing with other busi. nesses, with its iron mines, lta coal mines, its vessels, Its by-product coke ovens, is blast furnaces, its open hearth and tube mills and other manufacturing processes that are carried to the high- patible with the large trade |i has built up. All this Is generally conced sumer. Nor does the steel corporation Inconsiderately dump jis products on the market. On the contrary, If 20 influence, as Is often the case with oth. er large organizations, It Is master of its distribution as well as of its pro- duction, If prices aré pot satisfactory the products are held back oF produe- tion is reducéd or suspended. It is wot eompelled to send a year's work to the market gt one time and take whatever it can get upder such circumstances. It has one selling policy and its own export department, Neither are the grades and qualities of steel deissmin- ed at the caprice of the buyer, nor does the latter hold the scales. In this sin- gle Integration of the steel corporation Is represented ghout 40 per cent of the steel production of America, The rest i§ mostly In the hands of g few large contwanies. In ordinary (limes the steel corporation, by example, stabilizes all steel prices. If this Is permissible (It ts even desirable, because stable and falr prices are essential to solld and continued prosperity) why would & be wrong for the farmers to utilize cottral agencies that would bgye simi lar fects on agricultural products? Sometiing like that Is what they are aiming at. Some farmers favored by regional compactness and contiguity, such as the citrus-fruit-raisers of California, al ready have found a way legally te merge and sell thelr products inte. grally and In accordanes with seasonal and local demand, thus smproving thelr position and rendering the cen- sumer a reliable service of ensured quality, certain supply, and reasonable and relatively steady prices. They have not found if wecgssary to resort to any special privilege, ar to claim any exemption under the antidrust legistation of the state or nation. With out removing local control, they have pullt up a very efficient marketing agency. ‘The gralp, cotton, and to bacco farmers, and the producers of Lides and wool, because of (hejr pum- bers and the vastness of thelr regions and for other reasons, have found integration & more difficult task; though there are nol some thousands of) farmer's co-operailyp elevators, wirrehouses, creameries, and other en- terprises of one sort and another, wiif # turn-over of a billion dollers a year, They are giving the farmers business experfence and traiging, and, so far gs they go, they meet fhe need of honest weighing and falr gradisg; but they do not mest the requirements of rationally adjusted marketing in any large and fundamental WAY. The next step, which will be a pat tern for other groups, is now being prepared by the grain-ralsers through Wn — nancid gTila jectively, as the Individual farmer may elect. It Is this step—the plan of the Committee of Seventeen—which has created so much opposition and Is thought hy some to he in conflict with the anti-trust laws, Though there Is now hefore measure signed to clear up doubt on this point, shail separately or col CONEress a de- the graln-producers are not relying on any immunity from anti-trust legisla- tion, They desire, and they are titted, to co-ordinate thelr efforts just as the large business in dene, In organiza- ain Growers of d auxiii en as effectively terests of the country have connection with the selling tions the United States Gi Incorporated Is drafting a scheme financing ary agencies are to the successful utilization of modern pusiness methods It Is should plaps, and alm to avold the : instrumentalities an which indispen: essential that the proceed gradually serapping the existh rketing ix Ing laboriously experience, before chinery, which Dis LBGND RO built up by long they have a tried tute They enmeshed i WW red and proved substi. or si mast Oorms and In lose the | i » af thelr place the nationg! sysiem 3 fanatical devotion t 1d seek shoul {! guard new doe arth against lation and the trines, foonomic kless destruction as wit general system its re it relates to them take To Nelther sh iilow the fulse #4 HOM THaes ity of eliminating «© sidered measures will afd Carry a ori 1 t ARACILY ¥ ' } i ¢ yvesihilits . s51ify the their upward efforts, and prices rpsuily We, as city people, isle of defective distribution farme attempts t Adige o his efficiency ney in respondir tions Leis | May related to wheat normg demas proof of the need o supply and timely a teil » such stabil zing ageucy as ain growers have in contemplat!

In the first place, a loose organiza- tion, such as any union of farmers must be at best, cannot be so arbl trarily and promptly controlled as a grege porporation, The one Is a lum- bering deimacracy and the other an agile autoeracy, In the second place, with all possible power of org nization, the farmers cannot succeed to any great extent, or for any considerable length of time, In fixing prices. The great law of supply and demand works in varias gud surprising ways, to the undoing of the best aid plans tha attempt to foll {t.
