Ralph Moore of Granger
Makes Statement On
Proposed Farm Program
Ralph W. Moore of Granger
Master of the Texas Grange re-
turned to his home recently af-
ter having attended the Annual
Convention of the National
Grange at Harrisburg Penn
sylvania and spending some two
weeks in Washington endeav
oring to assist in the passage of
a farm bill which would be con
structive and enduring.
The National Grange contends
that the American' farmer is en
titled to the American market
at a price for that portion of his
crop constimed by the American
people which will give him ample
purcnasmg power.
Mr. Moore says that the Am
erican farmer is also entitled to
the same amount of protection
and benefits as is enjoyed by in-
dustry through the administra-
tion of the tariff laws. '
The House and Senate agricul-
tural committee bills now; before
'Congress do not have the sup-
port ci a price structure essen-
tial for any farm program that
will give the farmer substan-
tial prices for his commodities
says Mi" Moore.
"Leaders of some farm organ
izations operating in .Texas
would nave the farmer believe I
that the Senate Bill provides
that they shall recoiye parity
prices for their commodities
but this is incorrect" Mr; Moore
states and recites the iqllowing
as appears in the .Sbh'ate Bill
