Orgdnlzed farmers offer no apologies to city consumers 

 for their efforts to secure and maintain fair prices for agri- 

 cultural products. And with good reason! Farmers know 

 that extremely low prices for crops seldom result in low 

 prices to consumers. 



Take wi.eat, for example. A loaf of bread costs the 

 housewife little if any more when wheat brings $1.25 a 

 bushel than when it sells for 50 cents. Fifty cents. If long 



continued, spells ruin to the wheat grower and doesn't help 

 the consumer. But $1.25 wheat makes the grower a good 

 buyer, gives city consumers more employment, means pros- 

 perity for all. 



Not only farmers welfare but the welfare of the na- 

 tion depends on the success farmers attain In working to- 

 gether to control surpluses and secure fair prices. I ' V .. •
