Description

Excerpt from Reports, 1911-1912<br/><br/>When by any method the rights of the producer are recognized, and he is insured a fair net return for what he produces, the New England farmer will at once respond, and the maximum production per acre or animal will be the objective point with every worker. What he needs most today is not object lessons in cropping, but equaliza tion of burdens in disposal of surplus farm products. He wants only his rightful share of the consumers' dollar. Improvement comes always through enthusiasm, not force, and to insure this there must be the certainty of recognition not now accorded. We must have an impelling attraction to lead out into the field so clearly outlined by the host of speakers who view the situation wholly from the standpoint of the consumer or dealer, never from that of the farmer. Give the producer a living share in the con sumer's dollar and a new life would be injected into the whole agricultural problem. The question is not alone what does the producer get per pound, per quart, or per bushel, but what proportion does he get of what the consumer pays. While he struggles to grow the crops and make the products, denying himself that he may live, there is before him continually the cer tainty that his share in every dollar paid by the consumer for what he grows is less than thirty-five cents. Let the President and the railroad' magnates, who are so frank in lecturing the farmer about increasing volume per acre, assist in increasing cash per acre, and the furrows would multiply and harvests increase.
