Chairman Gronna states that, if the text of the agreement with the ; packers is put into the record it will undoubtedly be given the consideration the facts and its political significance . warrant. . - - ' : The fact is that : the time has come for a strict government control over the packer business. This is not a matter of opportunism nor of higher nor of lower prices ; it is because organ ized society : has reached the point in . its progress when the distribution of t food, like that of railroad transporta tion, has. become a matter of essential public concern in which the interest of the vhole public is equal to or greater than that of any private inter est engaged therein. The time has come for a law with teeth in rt, for -the government control of this busi-. ness; a law going as far as possible in establishing this public interest up to the point but not beyond of such. ah interposition of government as would dominate .the industry without - over turning private "ownership or private t initiative. The -proposed Grange Bill, does this, and does it effectively and sanely. 7 , ' - - - - Railroad legislation is . in more defi nite form than packer legislation. ; The Esch Bill to return the .railroads ,to their owners has passed the House, and the Cummins Bill to return the 'roads to.their owners has passed the Senate, and both bills are in conference tor compromise, if possible; -their differ- ehces. The roads will go . back" to their owners March 1, 1920, by 'Virtue of a Presidential proclamation already issued,, unless Congress otherwise orders prior to that date. The; differences between the Esch Bill and the Cummins Bill are numer ous and some of them fundamental.

Farmers not only received considerably more "for their hogs than they would have received locally, but they found a ready market ior all they had to sell. They " never encountered an overcrowded -market, as is frequently the case when "depending- on local 1 markets".

The Progressive Farmer hopes to print during 1929 quite a num ber of notable cartoons (some humor- ous, some serious), relating to farming ' and farm life. We shall be glad if read-. ers will clip out and send us any car ' toons they would like to see reproduced in our columns. Always give name of-. paper from whiih they are clipped.
