Farmers’ Week at Cornell 
(Continued from' page 373) 
filled, though the hour was late, and the 
farmers lost no time. Discussion immedi¬ 
ately waxed warm and lively. No one 
talked over five minutes, most of them 
less. One of the first questions W’as one 
by INIr. MacKenzie as to where anyone 
could secure bran at .$28 a ton, the price 
arranged by the Federal board to go into 
effect January 1. Several testified that 
the feed_stores of the State were asking 
.$48 to $00 per ton, and one man asserted 
that hominy and bran was being sold as a 
mixed feed at exorbitant prices. Mr. 
Mitchell explained that the weather had 
been such that practically no new stocks 
had been shipped in since the price was 
fixed, and that old prices would prevail 
until new stocks came in. Chas. E. Tre- 
man. State representative of the Federal 
board and a resident of Ithaca, was pres¬ 
ent and stated that not a single farmer 
had complained to him of any violations 
of this agreement. He had become aware 
of it through his own observations and 
had asked the farm bureau agent of a 
nearby county to collect data as to pre¬ 
vailing prices. He would forward such 
information at once to Washington with a 
recommendation that the violation be in¬ 
vestigated. He reprimanded the farmers 
severely for neglecting to make com¬ 
plaints of such outright A’iolations, say¬ 
ing he would have been glad to have had 
even one frank statement of conditions 
direct from any farmer. Mr. Mitchell 
also urgently requested reporting viola- 
tious of any of the food regulations, first 
to county administrators, and then if 
correction does not follow, to Mr. Treman 
or his own commission, and such reports 
would be immediately inquired into. 
These and other speakers throughout 
the week emphasized the need of farmers 
expressing their Hews on government pol¬ 
icies, not only individually, but through 
(Langes, farm bureaus, fruit and vege¬ 
table organizations, and all rural organi¬ 
zations, with constructive ideas suggested 
wherever po.ssible. The President, Mr. 
Hoover, and Congress was again and 
again referred to as acting to the best of 
their ability and knowledge on matters 
of vital importance to farmers, but that 
they lacked instruction direct from the 
farms. When legislation of an agricul¬ 
tural nature is discussed there is no one 
present to represent agriculture. Labor 
and all other industries are properly 
looked after, but the farmer lias no one 
to look out for him, or express his views 
and his needs. The remedy is a complete 
organization of rural forces, with com¬ 
petent representatives in Albany and 
Washington, and, not least of all, indi¬ 
vidual letters to Congressmen and com¬ 
mittees. 
Emphatic protest was made by the 
farmers over the political aspect of cer¬ 
tain appointments made by the (Jovernor 
to positions on the council of foods and 
markets, while one man even called into 
question some of Mr. Mitehell’s appoint- 
niente. The latter, however, was able to 
meet this matter with convincing state¬ 
ments of his absolute di'sire to serve his 
country to the best of his ability in this 
way, and a unanimous rising vote was 
most heartily given endorsing the jieople’s 
confidence in Mr. Mitchell. The forum 
was the most popular feature of the week 
and by request of the farmers will be 
made a permanent feature of Farmers’ 
Week. 
The 31 farm bureaus of the State had 
an earnest sessicn, immediately following 
the forum, and the evening Avas given over 
to earnest debate on the questions of the 
hour. A large attendance of farm bu¬ 
reau managers and constituents was pres¬ 
ent, and the evening session was pro¬ 
longed until midnight, with much lively 
discussion. Three important resolutions 
%vere passed—one asking for the resigna¬ 
tion of Chas. H. Betts as secretary of the 
new council, one regretting that the Gov¬ 
ernor failed to consult agricultural in¬ 
terests per agreement in making his ap¬ 
pointments, and one heartily endorsing the 
new State Federation of Agriculture and 
proposing to .join it. M. G. F.
