onorable Tom Linder,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
State of Georgia, | ; e a
Atlanta, Georgia. _ ee
My dear Commissioner: E :
.. IT hope you will agree with me sha che oper-
lions of the cotton exchange (which, as far as I am
concerned, is purely speculative, operating against
innocent farmers who would not attempt to hedge on
_ these markets,) should be thoroughly investigated.
z I have appointed the following Congressmen
as members of a steering committee to go into the
matter of organizing for this investigation:

Hon. John Flannagan of Virginia
Hon. Stephen Pace of Georgia
Hon. Clifford Hope of Kansas.
I am hoping that you folks will join with us
2 in this investigation, in that I believe the manner in
which farm products are being marketed and distrib-
uted is a major problem Contre nye the farmers of
this RS

Yours very ee

The Secretary of Agriculture and the President of the

Mited States, have direct control over the eos of

_ The Commodity Credit Corporation, ae the opera- |

In September, 1942, the President demanded action of
Congress, not later than October 1, 1942 to repeal a provis=_

jon in the law, ereating the Office a Price Administration,

The provision the President demanded repeal of, w 3
one which prohibited the OPA from setting a ceiling n

farm products at less than 110 per cent of parity.

waz On October 2, Congress passed a bill repealing the i b
per cent minimum, but in the same bill Congress require
the Secretary of Agriculture to include farm labor in ar
riving at parity on different farm crops. This bill requiri gt
farm Jabor to be used and included in determining bese yi
was passed by Congress and signed by the President.
The Secretary of Agriculture has failed to carry

this mandate of Congress. He has failed and refused :
include labor in determining parity. es

This refusal and failure of the Secroiary of Agra

ture is costing the farmers hundreds of millions of dollar
each year. He

TRI. SIX CENT COTTON$2.25 WHEAT NECESSAR

Editorial By Tom Linder Reptinied From The October 13, 1943 Issue Of The Georgia Farmers Market Bulletin

na Week before last I told you how the figures
had been juggled for the basic years of 1909 to 1914.
fhe 1920 Year Book of the United States De-
- partment of Agriculture, on pages 817 and 182 gives
- 82 articles that the farmer buys. It gives the prices
of these articles. It also shows the farmers buying
_ - power gs acre of crops for the years 1909, 1914
-. and 1919.
as cohen to the 1920 Year Book, by Henry C.
- Wallace, father of Henry A. Wallace, the farmers
_ buying power in 1919 stood at 111 percent of his
4914 buying power.
This means that with prices which the farmer
received in 1919 and the prices that the farmer haa
- to pay in 1919, that the farmer was able to buy 111
_ percent of the goods that he could buy in 1914.
~ J have sent men to the stores in Atlenta and
have secured prices on these same 82 commodities
which the farmer buys as of today.
a ae this a Lam. carrying a table of figures.





The fitst three columns of figures are copies of tn
figures in the 1920 Year Book of the United States
Department of Agriculture. These three columns
show the cost of these 82 articles to the farmer in
the yeats 1909, 1914 and 1919.

In the fourth column I am carrying the prices
today on these same 82 articles aS a comparison of
these other years.

COMPARATIVE COST TO FARMER

If the farmer had bought one each of these 82
articles in 1909, it would have cost him $625.69. If
the farmer. ought one each in 1914, the cost would
have been $679.74. You can see there was very
little change in the cost to the farmer in these 82
articles between 1909 and 1914.

1919 WAS CALLED THE HIGH YEAR
If the farmer bought ohne each of these 82 ar=

{les ih 1919, the total cost to the farmer would

have been $1,252.39. The cost to the farmer in
buying one each in 1919 would have been sub-






' stantially twice what it was in 1909 or in 1914
WHAT IS THE COST IN 1943?

time at any price. However, I am using the me
thet would represent the cost according +t
merchant, if they had them in stock.
If a farmer went to the stores and bough
each of these 82 articles, it would cost $1,271
If a farmer bought these articles today, the t
' cost would be $19.47 more than the total cost
have been in 1919,
Some of the articles, of course, are cheapex
they were in 1919. Some articles are higher
they were in 1919. But, the cost of buying
articles is higher in 1943 than it was in 191

In 1919 the average price that the fa:

: qt ae been reported that some darinets saved
eed from their fields of hybrid corn for planting

eed for sale as hybrid seed.
As defined by Federal Law, teerid corn is the
st. generation of a cross involving at least one in-

xperimental evidence indicates that yields from

eed, will be 15 to 40 per cent less than yields from



field of hybrid corn and the farmer who does may
even realize a loss from such a practice. :

_ Florida W-1, a hybrid adapted to the Coastal
Jain, has been tested in Florida to determine the
osses which may be expected from growing seed





ey

of 40 per cent was obtained. This yield was substan-
ally below the yield of the ordinary open pollinated
arieties..

Tests of ber nebrids in other states indicate
hat similar losses may be expected from panting
second generation seed.

Although this warning may be too lee this sea-
son, the farmer who has purchased such seed at the
igh price regularly asked for first generation seed



the first generation hybrid seed. _

_ Hybrid seed is produced commercially by nine
ig two strains of corn in alternate rows in an isolated
field and detasseling one parent. Seed is then saved |
rom these detassled rows. Foundat'nn seed stocks of
hese hybrids are developed by the experiment sta-
ons and commercial breeders.

hould keep. these things in mind: :
a ot Plant only adapted Webenia Check
with the experiment station results to de-
termine what these hybrids have done in-
their tests. Corn belt hybrids are early and
- of use only for early hogging off.
Plant only first generation seed. No
ee how good the seed appear to be, it
will not yield as well if it is not first gener-
ation seed, that is, seed produced in a reg-
ular crossing. field and. hens from the

Department of Agriculture,
pound.

The farmer today is receivirig an average of
about 20.50 cents or 15 cents per pound less than ne
_ $hould receive in order to be able to buy these 82
articles.

The farmer is losing $75.00 on each 500=pound
bale ef middling 7/8-inch staple.

. In 1919 the farmer received an average price
on ali wheat ef $2.15 per bushel. Today the farmer
#8 receiving $1.50 for wheat.

The wheat farmer would have to receive 65

~eents per bushel more for the wheat than he is
_ gettmg in order to be able to buy the same 82 ar-
ticles that he bought in 1919.

Week before last, I showed you that if the
_ farmer was to receive as large. an income from eot-
ton im 1943 as he received in 1919, that he would
have to get 34.60 cents per pound.

I am showing you figures this week demon-
strating - that if the farmer was able
same article in 1943 that he bought in 1919, he

would have to get 36 cents per pound.

34.60 cents per pound for cotton would give the

_ farmer the same number of dollars that he received
in 1919. But it. would take 36 cents per pound to
give him enough dollars to buy the same articles -

That he bought in 1919.
In 1919, the farmer sold his peanuts at $240.00

per Yon, Today he is receiving for base peanuts

$140.00 per ton. The farmers income from pea-
_mauts is $100.00 per ton less than it was in 1919. If

:, the farmer had the same buying power from pea-

es

nuts that he had in 1919 it would be necessary for

_ him te get upward of $240.00 per ton.

Two weeks ago, I showed you that for the
wheat farmer to receive the same number ef dol-

_ lars in 1943 that he received in 1919, it would pe

T am showing you this week that the wheat

$67.00 per ton for cottonseed. He would have toe

was 35.60 cents per.

to buy the |



buy the same ee he puichacet in 1919.

ALL ABOVE STATEMENTS ARE BASED

ON 1919 CONDITIONS :
: All the statements above are based on the idea
that the farmer was able to employ labor in 1943 ot
the came quality and the same pric that he employ-
ed labor in 1919. Everyone knows that today the
farmer has less labor and higher priced labor than
he did in 1919.

It is also true, as everyorie knows, that today
many things are essential to the average farmer
that was not required in 1919, The farmer is com-
pelled to buy equipment that he did not use gen-
erally in 1919. Some of these are automobiles,
trucks, tractors and electrical equipment.

WHAT IS PARITY TODAY?

On page 818 of the Year Book of 1920, by Mr.
Henry C. Wallace, is shown that the farmer s pur-
chasing power stood at 111 percent in 1919.

Aerts to the United States Deoartment of
Agriculture and Secretary Wickard, the farmers
purchasing power today should stend at 165 percent.
In other words, the farmers purchasing power
should stand 50 percent higher in 1943 than it did
in 1919. If 35.60 cents for cotton represented 111
pereent, then 165 percent of Mr. Wickards parity
figures should be 52.80 cents per pound. In other
words, 52.80 represents actual parity for cotton
middling 7/8-inch staple today. At 52.80 cenis
per pound, a 500-pound bale of cotton will bring
$264.00. If a eotton farmer makes 6 bales of cotton
to the plow and received 52.80 cents per pound, the
gross income from that one-horse farm from
cotton would be $1,584.00. If we assume that =
one-horse farm was cultivated by a share cropper
on halves, this would give the share cropper a gross

income from cotton of $792.00 per year and out of

this $792.00, he would have to ray all his living ex-
penses, together with fertilizer, seeds, ete. But, if

_ we treat this $792.00 as a net income to the share

cropper and assume there are four people in the
family, this would give the share cropper an in-

come of only $198.00 for each member of. his.

family. Is there any inflation -in $198.00 Why,

many war workers make that much money in one _

week, and everybody is aware of this fact.

The farmer has worked so long for nothing,
many of them have become accustomed to it and
even some farmers are backward about asking for
a living price.

The Bureaucrats in Washington Go are pay-
ing $100.00 to $200.00 a week for war workers wili
throw up their hands in holy horror at the idea

X



of ois inte the farmer 52 cents per soins for cotton

which would amount to $198.00 per year for thi

people whe produce this great basic crop of
nation. :
The Seeretary of Labor m Washington is ver
mueh coneerned to see that labor gets a square dea
The Secretary of Commerce is moving heav
and earth to see that those engaged in neh
commerce are looked after. :

Why is it that the farmers own Department
Washington instead of trying to help the farme
as it did in 1920, is doing all that it can do to chal
Bhim down.

WHITE COLLAR WORKERS ;

The white collar worker is also the
man. It is no wonder the white collar is in dir
sircits. Most of the white edlla. workers: and alt
business in agricultural communities are dependent
upon the farmers and the farmers income for busi
ness.

Hf the farmer was getting anything like es
parity for his products, he would be going te. town
and buying everything that the merchant had to
sell.

If the farmer had the money, he would be be
ploying the dentist fo see that his familys teeth
were in goed shape He would employ the doctor :
see that the familys health was safeguarded. H:
would buy more fertilizer and farm equipment.
would\ plant more crops and produce more food
He would hire more labor and at higher prices. He
would revitalize the vein of commerce and trad
in the small tewns and cities. The white colla
workers: would receive better salaries. They would
be able to buy th. things they need, to pay for a
home to I've in and to lay up a nest egg for them
selves.

The billions and billions of dollars that the
Government is spending are creating inflation rap-
idly. Nothing would more effectively put thi
brakes on this inflation than allowing a reasonable
part of this money. to go.down to the farmer a
inerease oduction.

If the farmer and white collar qeorker cout
have more money, this would not increase th
total circulation ef money: It would simply mak
circulation more general and would have a tendency |
to reduce rather than to increase inflation, _

Give the farmer, the white collar worker the

- profession;! man and the business man a_ bre

This will help the country and do more than any:
thing else could possibly do to insure our succes
in winning the war.

=ditorial By Tom Linder Reprinted From The September 29, 1943 Issue of ithe Gites Farmer's Market Bulletin

i saw a sialement from Washington a few days

. ago claiming that 1943 would show an all time ~
_ high income for the farmers of the country.

Also there was a statement issued by Col. James

_A. Palmer, director of the Southern region of the-
Food Distribution Administration: that. Georgias

cotton crop this year promises to bring the farmer
-mearly $8,000,000 or more in excess of last years

_erop if it is picked and ginned as well the rest of |
the season as it has been up t6 date.

; How either of these statements were issued
with any semblance of real background is beyond
_ the conception of those whe really know the farm
situation in this state and the Nation.

In the year 1919 the total farm income was al-

most $25,000,000,000, while in the year 1942 it was

only $16, 000, 000,000.

E During the years 1940, 1941 and 1942, farmers
who produced crops received less money per year
than they did during the five years of the base
- period.

COTTON PRICES
In 1918 we produced 12,018,000 bales which

have to bring. 30c a pound instead of approximately

_ 20e which it is bringing. There is no all time high

price there.

In 1919 we produced 11,411,000 bales which
brought $2,020, 000, 000, or 35c a pound. If the 1945
crop were to bring as much money as the 1919 crop
it would have to bring 34% instead of the 20c it
is bringing.

: WHEAT
In 1918 we produced 921,000,000 bushels of

wheat which sold for $1,881, 000, 000, or $2.04 a

bushel. In 1943 the Government says we will pro-
duce 834,000,000 bushels. If the 1943 wheat crop
were to bring as much money as the 1918 wheat

crop it would have to bring $2.25 a bushel instead

of $1.48, the present price.

In 1919 we preduced 952,000,000 bushels of
wheat which brought $2,590, 600, 000, or $2.16 a
bushel. The 1943 crop is: estimated by the Govern-
ment.at 834,000,000 bushels. If the wheat farmers
receive as much money in 1943 as they did in 1919

OVER ESTIMATES ON CROFS

It is a matter of general knowledge that t
Government has grossly over estimated Seale.
crops.

The Government estimates on cotton in August e
1942, was one of the greatest depressing factors
the cotten market in the fall of 1942. ; :

The Goverhments large over estimate in. Au
gust, 1943, has been one of the greatest factors in
depressing the price of cotton this fall.

CORN

The Government estimate on corn for 1943 wil
be found entirely too high. I have just returned
from 4 trip through a portion of the corn belt and
prospects for corn are not good at all. :

Millions of acres of corn are extremely late. 9:

Much of this late corn has already
been caught by frost before it could mature. - Corn
generally throughout the Southeast is very poor.

WALL STREET WAS A PIKER

farm prices on Wall Street. but Wall Street was a

FAKE PARITY DETERMINED, BY AMAZING FIGURE JUGGLING

cp

Editorial By Tom Linder Reprinted From The Shepiciiber 29, 1943 Issue Of The pore Farmers Market Bulletin
a Startling discrepancies and juggling of figures

are noted by me in the study of two reports re-
leased by the United States Department of Agri-
culture. One was released in 1920 by Henry C.

_ Wallace, former United States Commissioner of

Ds Agriculture, and the father of Henry A. Wallace.

The other was released in July, 1943, under the

present Administration,

The Fake Parity on farm products whieh is

6 now in force was figured according to the last re-

rt which was made in July, 1943. Tf the figures
which were issued in 1920 by Henry C. Wallace

had been used True Parity would have. been

noted and millions of dollars would have been

added to the value of farm products this year.

__. Both reports were issued by the United States
case Mane of Agriculture and both reports carry

the total gross value of crops duving the vears

1910 to 1914 inclusive, which are called the base
period.

For some unaccountable and unexplainable

reason however, the totals of the two reports vary

almost two billion dollars each year in value of
erops.

By this we mean that the later report
which was made under the present administration
carries a total of. practically two billion dollars
less value on farm crops than the repert issued in

2 _ 1920 ON THE SAME CROPS THE SAME YEAR.

The report issued in 1920 by Henry C. Wallace

Ws printed below. This was taken from Yearbook

of the Department of Agriculture, Page 806, Table
297 and shows the following:

Now for comparison we are printing below
the table carried by the United States Department
of Agriculture in Volume 20, No. 3, July, 1943,
Table 1. Please bear in mind that this report is
for the SAME CROPS for the SAME YEARS but

_published 23 years later!

due to lack of pace to print the entire

1913 $7,821,000,000
1914 $7,638,000,000
Gross income includes cash income from
marketings, Gevernment payments, value of home



grown products retained for human consumption

and imputed rental value of farm dwellings.

Now if you will compare the two tables here
you will see there is a startling discrepancy be-
tween the two FOR THE SAME YEAR AND FOR
THE SAME CROPS. The evidence seems to point
that the release published in 1943 and now used
to determine parity has been tampered with in an
intent to bat down farm prices and arrive at the
Fake Parity which is now in use.

The farmers income under New Deal control
is based on his income in thbase period. The
lower they figure the farm income in the base
period, the lower it figures parity for the farmer
today.

INCOME DURING THE BASE PERIOD?

: Since the mill ceilings are based on 7/8 inch
middling cotton at 20.47c on the farm, it follows
that 15/16 inch middling cotton has a value, under
the Commodity Credit Corporations own figures,
of 22.27c per pound on the farm, or 22.77c per
pound delivered in bonded warehouses.
This means that the farmer is. being fleeced

Tt is not necessary for anyone to sell cotton

No one needs to buy cotton except spinners. No

oS should there be a New York Cotton Exchange?

_ ENGLISH SPINNERS ORIGINATED























_. THE COTTON EXCHANGE
In the old days, the cotton mills bid against
ach other for cotton in the hands of the farmers.
At that time, most of the cotton mills were in
gland.
American farmers produced the raw pa
ritish spinners wove it into cloth. Much of the
ton goods came back to the same people who
sed the cotton.
The fact of our cotton going to England and
uen being shipped back to America was the cause
of the Protective Tariff System of this country.
American manufacturers said they were young and
rere unable to compete with British manufactur-
rs. They asked that-a Protective Tariff be levied
gainst imported industrial products so that the
merican manufacturer could get a higher price
or American manufactured goods.

_ ORIGIN OF THE NEW YORK COTTON
EXCHANGE
The New York Cotton Exchange was created
control the price of the farmers cotton.
_._ Whenever the price of cotton started up, the
: inner by offering contracts for future deliveries
of cotton on the New York Exchange could force
he price down. The spinners could sell the farm-
rs cotton short.
In this way the spinners were enabled to sell
future contracts and drive the price of cotton
down. Then the spinners could turn around and
buy actual cotton with bagging -and ties on it at the
lower prices.
: The spinners knew that they could -not spin
these future contracts. They knew that they had

\BOLISH THE NEW YORK COTTON EX

as = Se Editorial By Tom Vander Reprinted From The October 20, 1943, Issue Of The Georgia Farmer's Market Bulletin.

NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE
SHOULD BE ELIMINATED

One of the main reasons for forming the New
York Cotton Exchange was to get rid of these spe-
culative buyers, or to neutralize the effc ct. of spe-
culative buying.

It was a simple matter to persuade the man
who wanted to speculate -in cotton to buy a future
contract for a hundred bales, instead of buying one

_hundred bales of actyal cotton.

But the manipulators of cotton futures found

out that if the speculators bought enough future

contracts and then demanded the actual cotton, the
number of bales of cotton actually produced py

farmers was all that could be delivered.

SULLY CORNER ON THE COTTON MARKEY?

This has been fairly demonstrated on several
occasions. Men with unlimited bank accounts could
go on the market and begin buying future con-
tracts.. They could keep on buying future contracts
in thousands and millions of bales and then demand
delivery of actual cotton.

- The so-called Sully Corner of
market was one of these occasions.

HOW THE SPECULATIVE BUYER WAS
ELIMINATED AS A FACTOR |
The New York Cotton Exchange,
get rid of speculative buyers devised a cunning
trick. Instead of contracts for future deliveries
specifying the grade ofcotton to be delivered, the
Exchange made a rule permitting practically any
grade of actual cotton to be delivered for future

the cotton

in order to

contracts.

This is the reason they have accumulated mil-

lions and millions of bales of dog-tail cotton which

the spinners cannot use. This, dog-tail cotton is
kept solely for the purpose of intimidating buyers
of futures contracts not to demand delivery, Tf the
buyer of futures demands delivery of the actual
cotton, be gets dog-tail.

The government continues to count these mil-
lions of bales of dog-tail cotton in the total cotton
supply each year, although everyone knows it js
worthless and cannot be used by the mills.

When there is u short crop of cotton, as in 1943,
those who buy cotton expecting the markets to gZ
up, can be frozen out simply by being tendered this
dog-tail cotton which the spinners cannot use. It
there was no future market, these speculators would

buy actual cotten and thereby help the market for
the farmer,

THE ONLY GOOD COTTON NOW IS 1943 CROP

The only cotton today the spinner wants to buy
is the 1943 crop. The cotton farmer has a God-giv-
en monopoly on all the good cotton there is today.

The United States Department of Agriculture
and the New York Cotton Exchange are in co-op-
eration to beat the farmer out of his crop with this
old dog-tail cotton which has accumulated for a
number of years.

SITUATION OS NEW YORK COTTON
EXCHANGE

Everyone has known for the last sixty days
that the 1943 crop of cotton is very short. Certain
mill interests have pooled their buying to keep
fro competing with each other. To hold the price

dE cotton down, millions of bales of imaginary cot-
ton have been sold in the form of cotton futures

on the New York Exchange.

The date drew near when October contracts
must be closed out. The Board of Directors of the
New York Cotton Exchange saw that unless some
drastic action was taken, those who had sold the
market sho.t were going to lose their money.
