APPENDIX 



Corporation Farming. Corporation farming is now being conducted in 

 many specialized crops in the United States. As an instance of this, mention 

 may be made of the American Fruit Growers, Inc., with headquarters at Pitts- 

 burgh, Penn. 



The fruit and vegetable industry in the United States ranks next to grain 

 and meat in the volume and value of the food produced. The annual volume 

 of fruits and vegetables marketed aggregates more than 750,000 car loads, 

 and the annual value of this volume is some three billion dollars. Tremendous 

 wastes have been common in this trade, due to poor packing, poor distribution, 

 and other marketing defects. 



The corporation above named owns and operates apple orchards and apple 

 packing houses and is also in the distribution business, to the end that certain 

 savings and economies may be introduced in standardizing and stabilizing 

 various departments of this great industry. 



Henry Wallace on Farm Tenancy. "Productive value cannot be main- 

 tained under our present system of leasing. 



"It is useless to attempt to develop a social value when half our lands are 

 farmed by an unstable population. 



"Country schools are declining in efficiency . . . and will so long as our 

 present system of leasing continues. 



"Many leases are simply conspiracies against the voiceless land to rob 

 it ... The land is silent now, but bides its time and takes its sure revenge. "- 

 Henry Wallace, Address before Banker Farmer Conference, Chicago, 1915.
