I UNCLE SAM SHOULD HELP IN MARKETING FARMERS' PRODUCTS Secretary Wallace Addre?aea Farm er? Grain Marketing Commit mittee at Chicago. Chicago, April 7.?The department of agriculture should lend the same aid to farmeis in marketing their crops as it does in their production, Secretary Wallace declared today in an address here before the Farms Grain Marketing committee of sev enteen. Study of improved marketing meth ods as well as of coriWitions the far ces should understand to produce in telligently and "adjust his produc tion to the needs of consumption," the secretary said, "are proper func tions of the department." "A plentiful supply of food at prices; which Are just to both produc sr and consumer is vita) to our na tional welfare," continued, "and it is a proper function of the govern ment to do what it can to insure it." Information of world production md consumption is "especially use ful and necessary," the secretary de :lared, to aid farmers in deciding "in what quantities jfiven commodities should be prc duc -d and in order that :here may be an adequate supply." It is coming to be recognized, he said ;hat if prices arc to be satisfactory there must be a right adjustment of producton to marketing conditions." The farmers' right to organize into association, co-operative or otherwise for the purpose of marketing their :rops, Mr. Wallace said, cannot be questioned 'so long as they observe :he requirements of our laws." "While not discussing the commit ?eV marketing plan in detail, the igriculture secretary said it appear ?d to have profited by practical ex-3 ?erience of the past and to have ivoided the weaknesses which had jroken down many previous organi sations. The committee he asserted Nas 'neither attempting to create a Monopoly or to fix prices."' Calling attention to the current ow prices for farm products while practically everything the farmers ray are from 50 to 100 per cent above jre-war no:rmals." Secretary Wallace said .it is not strange that thousands )f them should be willing and ready ;o adopt a drastic measures to cor rect a condition which is so grossly jnjust and which is causing wide spread hardship and suffering." *|This nation," Secretary Wallace, asserted, cannot hope to maintain its agriculture on a sound economic basis Jnless our farmers give attention to Lhe business end of farming, this is mperative if production is to be maintained and our people are to be fed at reasonable costs."
