our national wealth.
£ It is already evident that a
farm bill alone will not help the
farmer, unless there is along with
it better control of marketing and
distribution. It is here that the
farmer has been really hurt. It has
resulted in the grower who nurses
a farm commodity from seed to
sale, getting far less for his com
modity than the middleman who
sell is. In addition, it is also realiz
ed that any permanent help for ag
riculture will include a plan where
by the farmers will not buy in a
protected market and sell in an
unprotected market. This, of
course, involves tariff changes, al
ways a highly controversial legis
lative subject.
q It might also be pointed out
that farmers generally are getting
a better understanding of the day
by day attempts to give them as
sistance. The American Farm Bu
reau Federation and other farm
groups, through state organiza
tions, are keeping the individual
farmers and their spokesmen ad
vised of developments. As a re
sult, sentiment from “back home”
reaches the Capitol almost daily
and has an important part in guid
ing the views of members de
sirous of protecting the best in
terest of their constituents.
0 If I may add a personal note,
it is to say that it has been a
source of much regret to me that
an ear condition which required
immediate attention or the danger
of serious trouble later, has pre
vented me from participating in
the preliminary consideration of
the farm bill. However, I shall be
on the floor within a few days and
give such humble assistance as I
can, to the cause of agriculture—
our most pressing national prob
lem.
