ket" gambling in wheat June 1, when
the United States Grain corporation
goes out of existence. Conferences
have been held at Chicago and Wash
ington between Julius H. Barnes, head
of the grain corporation, and the grain
gamblers to settle upon ways and
means for "opening" the market, and
Secretary of Agriculture E. T. Mere
dith has declined to interfere in any
way.
John N. Hagan, commissioner of
agriculture and labor in North Dakota,
has failed in a manful effort to have
Secretary Meredith call a meeting in
which the producers of wheat might
be given a chance to say something
about the rules under which it is sold.
On May 4 Mr. Hagan sent the follow
ing telegram:
HAGAN SENDS W«E
TO SECRETARY MEREDITH
"Hon. Edwin T. Meredith, Secretary
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.: As
publicly announced and published in
New York Times, May 1, Hon. Julius
Barnes, de facto U. S. wheat director,
has called a meeting of representa
tives of wheat and flour trade organi
zations to be held at La Salle hotel,
Chicago, May 7, to provide for and to
permit the establishment of a free and
open market for the purchase, sale and
"handling of wheat and wheat products.
Upon expiration of wheat guarantee
act Mr. Barnes concludes that the
purchase and price paid rests with a
few officials and states it is measur
ably true these officials, with or with
out concerted action, can influence the
price level for America.
"I believe at the conclusion of Mr.
Barnes' Chicago meeting that you
should direct the holding of a meeting
promptly at Washington, D. C., at
which time the proposed action to be
taken May 7 may be considered at a
conference wherein the American pro
ducer may be represented along with
the wheat and flour trade as well as
the mass of the American consumers.
"It is painfully important to note
that there was a conceded loss of 43
cents an acre in cost of producing one
of the largest crops of wheat ever rais
ed in Kansas last year, disposition of
said crop being under the official
jurisdiction of Wheat Director Barnes.

It is also conceded there wilNe large
reductions in winter and spring wheat
this year. Wire conclusions.
"J.N. HAGAN,
"Commissioner of Agriculture.
"Bismarck, N. D."
In response to this perfectly clear
telegram Mr. Hagan got this reply:
"John N. Hagan, Commissioner of
Agriculture and Labor, Bismarck, N.
D.: Received your telegram. Do not
understand clearly what conference
you have in mind.. I would appreciate
it if you would wire me further details.
"E. T. MEREDITH.
"Washington, D. C."
Mr. Hagan then sent a second tel
egram to Mr. Meredith, explaining the
situation in further detifil and adding
thafl^'hedging," which the grain gam
blers are desirous of re-establishing,
means "not only buying and selling the
futures of actual wheat but also imag
inary wheat, or rather thin air, which
to the producer meant lower prices and
to the consuming public higher prices,
with too large a margin of profit by
the middleman. The American farmer
was willing to raise wheat at a
loss to help win the war, but if we
are to establish a permanent agricul
ture, the American farmer must be
protected from the gamblers in food
products to such an«extent he secures
enough of the consumer's dollar to
enable him to continue in agriculture.
The wheat raiser must either produce
wheat at a. reasonable profit or discon
tinue raising wheat.
"In view of Mr. Barnes' call to
wheat and flour trade organizations
for their protection the United States
department of agriculture, if to
be of any value to the producer, should
call a conference inviting not only Mr.
Barnes, Hoover and the grain trade
but the producer, and especially invite
the representatives and senators of the
wheat states so that the public, includ
ing1 the consumer and producer, can
also be protected."
After waiting some days Mr. Mere
dith decided to dodge apd "pass the
buck" to congress, instead of taking
any action on behalf of the farmers.
He wired Mr. Hagan May 8:
"Conference you suggest would in
volve calling together representatives
of producers, of transportation agen
cies and of every branch of grain in
dustry as well as congressmen and
senators, with view to legislation if
necessary before end of May. So be
cause of-this fact I am referring your
telegram to Chairmen Gronna and
Haughen of senate and house commit
tees on agriculture for consideration."
Commissioner Hagan, a practical
farmer wlio knows just what the
farmers are facing when they are re
turned to the mercy of the grain
gamblers, said of Mr. Meredith's re
fusal:
"We now know where to find Mr.
Meredith when the interests of the
farmers are at stake. This was his
first opportunity to take a stand with
the producers. Instead he has chosen
to obligingly permit the grain manip
ulators
Xp

exploit the industry his
department is supposed to protect.
"We need a secretary of agriculture
who has just a little bit of a warm
spot in his heart for the producers.
We need a secretary who has at some
time or another been forced to make
his living by actual farming opera
tions. Mr. Meredith is a publisher and
not a farmer and, therefore, can not
possibly comprehend the viewpoint of
the man on the soil."
