have been waking up to about the solution a restoration of Fair the problems and asking to help bring Farm prices to farmers fair farm prices about the solution a restoration of Fair would be simply play Farm prices to farmers fair farm prices which gives farmer a fair profit above would be simply play their operating costs we can't expect which gives farmer a fair profit above farmers to continue continue to operate their operating costs we can't expect on credit instead of earned income the farmers to continue continue to operate chief aim of the crusade is an on credit instead of earned income the educational program because today chief aim of the crusade is an ignorance of our economy is our greatest educational program because today problem communities must be awakened to

America America as we know it and the main today that is dedicated to destroy rural objective for this destruction is the America as we know it and the main American farmer now the question has objective for this destruction is the been asked isn't it just possible that American farmer now the question has there is an even larger purpose behind been asked isn't it just possible that all of this for example it is a fact in there is an even larger purpose behind history that when a totalitarian state all of this for example it is a fact in wished us wishes to enslave another history that when a totalitarian state country its final and crushing moves are wished us wishes to enslave another against the last truly democratic country its final and crushing moves are elements in that country in Eastern against the last truly democratic Europe after the Second World War these elements in that country in Eastern were the peasant parties when they fell Europe after the Second World War these these countries fell to enslavement in were the peasant parties when they fell our country the equivalent of the these countries fell to enslavement in peasant parties are the small our country the equivalent of the independent farmers and businessmen in peasant parties are the small the rural communities if they can be independent farmers and businessmen in eliminated by means of deliberately the rural communities if they can be unfair farm prices then the large eliminated by means of deliberately corporations can take over the land and unfair farm prices then the large we can have the equivalent of the corporations can take over the land and collective farm it is not a great step we can have the equivalent of the for a central government it is excuse me collective farm it is not a great step is it not a great step for a central for a central government it is excuse me government to control all of us if they is it not a great step for a central can control big business big labor and government to control all of us if they big farming could this be the Great can control big business big labor and Society and big farming could this be the Great we are heading with such enthusiasm as I Society and have said it is just a supposition but we are heading with such enthusiasm as I it is worth thinking about have said it is just a supposition but well now let's get into some more of the it is worth thinking about facts an elbow I would like to have you well now let's get into some more of the explain some of the thinking that's facts an elbow I would like to have you going on in rural America today and explain some of the thinking that's possibly some of the feeling that's going on in rural America today and going on because of lack of thinking and

to attract throughout the great Midwest have industry their community this is fine promotional committees to attract industry is needed but the greatest industry their community this is fine product the greatest industry of all industry is needed but the greatest agriculture is being overlooked our product the greatest industry of all farmers are leaving in Minnesota last agriculture is being overlooked our year we lost 3% or 2000 we're going to farmers are leaving in Minnesota last be down to 50% they tell us something year we lost 3% or 2000 we're going to must be done and can be done to

Machinery dealers have disappeared and elevator still the business people throughout the Machinery dealers have disappeared and area are looking for more industry now still the business people throughout the most of our poultry are fryers and so area are looking for more industry now forth come from the south now the big most of our poultry are fryers and so threats to Midwest beef feeders is a new forth come from the south now the big look at the south as far as beef feeding threats to Midwest beef feeders is a new is concerned now the NFL is working on look at the south as far as beef feeding collective bargaining for the farmer but is concerned now the NFL is working on what can the businessman do many collective bargaining for the farmer but businessmen refuse to take a stand they what can the businessman do many refuse to look at this either through businessmen refuse to take a stand they apathy or the fright or the scare or the refuse to look at this either through fear that they're going to lose a apathy or the fright or the scare or the customer or two if they take a stand fear that they're going to lose a unless businessmen throughout this 26:20 customer or two if they take a stand state area start taking a stand they're unless businessmen throughout this 26:20 not only going to lose state area start taking a stand they're customer - but their business will be not only going to lose down the drain with it this committee to customer - but their business will be save rural America gives a businessman down the drain with it this committee to an opportunity to do something to help save rural America gives a businessman to save his school to save his church to an opportunity to do something to help save his community and his farmer to save his school to save his church to friends Arnold I believe that covers save his community and his farmer that Thank You Elmo now this is friends Arnold I believe that covers basically the problem today in rural that Thank You Elmo now this is America because it's ignorance of what's basically the problem today in rural going on and as Elmo mentioned the America because it's ignorance of what's people of America today for some reason going on and as Elmo mentioned the or other don't think they feel and ever people of America today for some reason so often we have we happen to overhear or other don't think they feel and ever people make this frequent remark at very so often we have we happen to overhear simple questions or statements they say people make this frequent remark at very gosh I never thought of that and this is simple questions or statements they say true the American people just do not use gosh I never thought of that and this is the faculties that God gave them to true the American people just do not use think and it's high time that we start the faculties that God gave them to thinking and stuff whether than feeling think and it's high time that we start if we're going to solve this problem thinking and stuff whether than feeling because of the people living in rural if we're going to solve this problem America are not concerned enough to wake because of the people living in rural up and do something about it I don't America are not concerned enough to wake know who will actually the people in up and do something about it I don't work rural America have been sleeping know who will actually the people in sounder than Rip Van Winkle and for a work rural America have been sleeping much longer time and the purpose of our sounder than Rip Van Winkle and for a crusade is to wake these people up and much longer time and the purpose of our to inform them of the forces that are at crusade is to wake these people up and work to destroy their very way of life to inform them of the forces that are at and Bob I would like to have you work to destroy their very way of life bringing in a few comments at this time and Bob I would like to have you I just like to bring in a few statistics bringing in a few comments at this time here which prove our point and which are I just like to bring in a few statistics very vital to people in the big cities here which prove our point and which are now as you know I come from Minneapolis very vital to people in the big cities and this is just as important to the now as you know I come from Minneapolis people in the big cities as it is to and this is just as important to the rural America for example the last time people in the big cities as it is to that we had true prosperity in this rural America for example the last time country was in the period roughly from that we had true prosperity in this 1940 to 1950 now I'm looking at country was in the period roughly from statistics here which have been gathered 1940 to 1950 now I'm looking at by the independent Bankers Association statistics here which have been gathered in their taskforce in which they sent to by the independent Bankers Association Washington to gather these facts now in in their taskforce in which they sent to that decade Washington to gather these facts now in from 1940 to 1950 there was a true that decade balanced economy with all the major from 1940 to 1950 there was a true segments of our economy receiving their balanced economy with all the major fair share for example the gross segments of our economy receiving their national income increased a hundred and fair share for example the gross ninety-six percent farm production the national income increased a hundred and value of farm production increased a ninety-six percent farm production the hundred and ninety-five percent wages value of farm production increased a and salaries increased a hundred and hundred and ninety-five percent wages ninety-six percent private enterprise and salaries increased a hundred and income including income to corporations ninety-six percent private enterprise increased two hundred and nine percent income including income to corporations they're all in balance now in the period increased two hundred and nine percent from nineteen roughly 1950 to 1964 here they're all in balance now in the period is what happened the other segments of from nineteen roughly 1950 to 1964 here the economy continued to grow wages and is what happened the other segments of salaries grew a hundred and forty eight the economy continued to grow wages and percent rental income income went up salaries grew a hundred and forty eight sixty three and a half percent percent rental income income went up corporation and small business profits sixty three and a half percent went up seventy five to eighty five corporation and small business profits percent interest income went up four went up seventy five to eighty five hundred and sixty percent but farm percent interest income went up four income went down sixteen point nine hundred and sixty percent but farm percent income went down sixteen point nine now this might seem irrelevant to the percent city person but let me quote something now this might seem irrelevant to the here from the independent bankers report city person but let me quote something just last year for example industry here from the independent bankers report actually deprived itself of an estimated just last year for example industry thirty five billion dollar market in a actually deprived itself of an estimated wide variety of goods that farmers use thirty five billion dollar market in a know the basic reason why industry is wide variety of goods that farmers use actually depriving itself of income and know the basic reason why industry is through industry on all people in the actually depriving itself of income and country is the fact that most city through industry on all people in the people don't know that every dollar of country is the fact that most city true farm income generates seven dollars people don't know that every dollar of in the gross national product now this true farm income generates seven dollars is because there is a cycle that happens in the gross national product now this when farmers spent month spend their is because there is a cycle that happens money when farmers spent month spend their that is true income money not debt money money they spend it with retail Merchants in that is true income money not debt money real they spend it with retail Merchants in communities and in cities who in turn real spend it with a wholesaler who would communities and in cities who in turn have spent it with a manufacturer who spend it with a wholesaler who would would have been turned spent it for more have spent it with a manufacturer who raw materials and for labor who in turn would have been turned spent it for more could have spent it these increased raw materials and for labor who in turn earnings for things produced from farm could have spent it these increased raw materials and the start and the earnings for things produced from farm cycle starts all over again raw materials and the start and the no what I would like to ask you read at cycle starts all over again this time is this this is undoubtedly no what I would like to ask you read at true that the farm income has been going this time is this this is undoubtedly down while the rest of the the income true that the farm income has been going from other parts of our economy have down while the rest of the the income been going up in the last 12 years now from other parts of our economy have could this have all happened by accident been going up in the last 12 years now Bob absolutely not you know as well as I could this have all happened by accident do because we've been studying this Bob absolutely not you know as well as I thing and in my hand right now I have do because we've been studying this authority Authority facts that thing and in my hand right now I have absolutely prove that this has been authority Authority facts that planned there has been a deliberate absolutely prove that this has been attempt by government and by the planned there has been a deliberate economic advisors of our country attempt by government and by the deliberately forcing farm prices prices economic advisors of our country down to help stabilize or balance what deliberately forcing farm prices prices they call inflation but they feel that down to help stabilize or balance what by robbing farmers out of their fair they call inflation but they feel that share of the national income that it by robbing farmers out of their fair will help to stabilize this economy but share of the national income that it in result it has just brought on greater will help to stabilize this economy but profits for the large corporations and in result it has just brought on greater the big industries but here is the sad profits for the large corporations and part of what a rural America must pay the big industries but here is the sad for the low farm prices that have part of what a rural America must pay occurred since 1950 every penny of for the low farm prices that have prosperity that this nation has enjoyed occurred since 1950 every penny of from 1950 to 1964 has to be paid back prosperity that this nation has enjoyed because it has all been based on from 1950 to 1964 has to be paid back borrowed money paid back that I say yes because it has all been based on plus an additional 98 billion dollars borrowed money paid back that I say yes every penny of profit earned by every plus an additional 98 billion dollars corporation in the United States during every penny of profit earned by every this period of time could not pay off corporation in the United States during the increased private debt that took this period of time could not pay off place in this country during the same the increased private debt that took period of time and so Bob you can see place in this country during the same that it this has not only effect period of time and so Bob you can see the farmers but it's been passed on to that it this has not only effect every man woman and child living in the farmers but it's been passed on to America and we have embezzled all of every man woman and child living in this from our children in their future America and we have embezzled all of and unless farm prices are restored this from our children in their future within a period of a very few years we and unless farm prices are restored will be forced into the biggest within a period of a very few years we depression that this world has ever seen will be forced into the biggest now Elmo I don't want to dominate all of depression that this world has ever seen this time I would like to turn this over now Elmo I don't want to dominate all of to you possibly you've got a question this time I would like to turn this over you'd like to present to us or something to you possibly you've got a question you'd like to bring out at this time you'd like to present to us or something well I believe that the Main Street you'd like to bring out at this time merchants in this 26-28 state area must well I believe that the Main Street start to realize that every dollar that merchants in this 26-28 state area must has been robbed from our farmer has start to realize that every dollar that taken seven dollars away from the has been robbed from our farmer has national picture a farm dollar makes taken seven dollars away from the seven turns around in our economy and we national picture a farm dollar makes have been robbing ourselves robbing our seven turns around in our economy and we Main streets and robbing our government have been robbing ourselves robbing our of this money by taking it away from the Main streets and robbing our government farmer this apparent planned robbery is of this money by taking it away from the sending rural America right down the farmer this apparent planned robbery is drain the prime dollar makes seven sending rural America right down the dollars of our economy and the labor drain the prime dollar makes seven dollar only turns over three dollars and dollars of our economy and the labor 58 cents dollar only turns over three dollars and no I don't what is our solution well 58 cents Elmo we know that we've got to find a no I don't what is our solution well solution that just alerting people of Elmo we know that we've got to find a the problems that exist in rural America solution that just alerting people of today is not going to solve this thing the problems that exist in rural America the the first objective of our crusade today is not going to solve this thing is an educational program because unless the the first objective of our crusade we awaken the American people from their is an educational program because unless slumber and bring them to a realization we awaken the American people from their that this problem really exists and slumber and bring them to a realization pointing out the effects and the losses that this problem really exists and that are has on the individual they will pointing out the effects and the losses never become concerned so our first job that are has on the individual they will is to point out to people what they are never become concerned so our first job losing because of this farm problem when is to point out to people what they are I refer to they I'm speaking of losing because of this farm problem when ministers superintendents of schools I refer to they I'm speaking of bankers labor the professional people ministers superintendents of schools living in the big cities and most of all bankers labor the professional people the economy of the United States now living in the big cities and most of all once we have alerted the economy of the United States now people so that they are aware of these once we have alerted problems then we have to have the people so that they are aware of these program that can do the job and of problems then we have to have the course this is the toughest problem of program that can do the job and of them all now we've made a very thorough course this is the toughest problem of study of the various plans that are in them all now we've made a very thorough operation today to help farmers let's study of the various plans that are in take a look at one of the programs that operation today to help farmers let's are proposed by one group of people they take a look at one of the programs that say that if we can only get agriculture are proposed by one group of people they out of the hands of government and say that if we can only get agriculture return it to free enterprise that this out of the hands of government and thing will solve itself well now we've return it to free enterprise that this studied the farm program the supply the thing will solve itself well now we've supply and demand on the open market studied the farm program the supply the without any controls and we found that supply and demand on the open market the only time that this program has ever without any controls and we found that worked is during a war or during a the only time that this program has ever famine it has never worked any other worked is during a war or during a time in history and I'm sure that the famine it has never worked any other American people do not want a war or a time in history and I'm sure that the famine to restore fair farm prices to American people do not want a war or a farmers so we must look to another famine to restore fair farm prices to solution now we have other people who farmers so we must look to another feels that the government will solve solution now we have other people who this problem feels that the government will solve for them well now I have been a strong this problem supporter of this theory for many years for them well now I have been a strong and if I was convinced that the supporter of this theory for many years government had any intention whatsoever and if I was convinced that the of solving this problem I would support government had any intention whatsoever it vigorously as I have in the past but of solving this problem I would support as I have studied some of the programs it vigorously as I have in the past but and some of the things that the federal as I have studied some of the programs government has done to bring on this and some of the things that the federal mass destruction to the rural economy I government has done to bring on this am absolutely convinced that our mass destruction to the rural economy I government has no intentions whatsoever am absolutely convinced that our to restore fair farm prices to rural government has no intentions whatsoever America because if they do they will to restore fair farm prices to rural upset the plans that they had originally America because if they do they will to destroy the farmer so I have written upset the plans that they had originally off any hopes of the government solving to destroy the farmer so I have written this problem so we have to look to off any hopes of the government solving another solution and we can use a good this problem so we have to look to example of labor labor was in the same another solution and we can use a good position several years ago when industry example of labor labor was in the same and corporations were exploiting these position several years ago when industry people and and corporations were exploiting these the day arrived that Labour woke up from people and their slumber and they decided that they the day arrived that Labour woke up from were going to get their fair share of their slumber and they decided that they the economy that they would have to do were going to get their fair share of it themselves so first they got legend the economy that they would have to do legislation through a Wagner Act that it themselves so first they got legend made it possible for them to organize legislation through a Wagner Act that and after they had the the tools to do made it possible for them to organize it then they took the problem into their and after they had the the tools to do own hands and formed their unions and it then they took the problem into their today labour is getting their fair share own hands and formed their unions and of the national economy now the farmers today labour is getting their fair share are going to have to follow a similar of the national economy now the farmers pattern we say that the farmers must get are going to have to follow a similar control of their industry that farmers pattern we say that the farmers must get must become businessmen and manage their control of their industry that farmers own business and their own industry and must become businessmen and manage their until they can get control of it and own business and their own industry and market their own products and place until they can get control of it and their own price on their products in the market their own products and place marketplace will they ever be able to their own price on their products in the solve the problem once and for all but marketplace will they ever be able to of course when farmers begin to organize solve the problem once and for all but and say that we want to be businessmen of course when farmers begin to organize we think that it's time to put a price and say that we want to be businessmen on our own product then the opposition we think that it's time to put a price moves in now these aren't very pretty on our own product then the opposition words but I call the opposition the moves in now these aren't very pretty leeches and the scavengers because these words but I call the opposition the this is what they are they have been leeches and the scavengers because these robbing farmers for years and they have this is what they are they have been been growing fat at the expense of the robbing farmers for years and they have farmers so naturally they don't like it been growing fat at the expense of the when the farmer wakes up and starts to farmers so naturally they don't like it fight for his share his fair share and when the farmer wakes up and starts to so consequently lots of propaganda fight for his share his fair share and starts spreading throughout the country so consequently lots of propaganda a lot of lies and smear tastic tactics starts spreading throughout the country against these farmers but this has a lot of lies and smear tastic tactics happened before in history and it will against these farmers but this has continue to happen in the future but in happened before in history and it will spite of these people the farmers must continue to happen in the future but in organize and band together their spite of these people the farmers must production and put a price on it at the organize and band together their market place and there is such an production and put a price on it at the organization in existence in America market place and there is such an today and this organized organization is organization in existence in America called the National Farmers Organization today and this organized organization is and after all of my research and study called the National Farmers Organization looking at all sides of the questions and after all of my research and study studying the programs of the other looking at all sides of the questions organizations I have come to a very studying the programs of the other definite conclusion that this is the organizations I have come to a very Ellucian to the agricultural problem it definite conclusion that this is the is the solution to the problem for the Ellucian to the agricultural problem it rural communities and it is the only is the solution to the problem for the thing that can restore the stable dollar rural communities and it is the only in America and once again give this thing that can restore the stable dollar nation a sound basic healthy economy in America and once again give this instead of one which is based on debt nation a sound basic healthy economy and so I encourage farmers and instead of one which is based on debt businessmen everywhere throughout rural and so I encourage farmers and America to take a real good honest businessmen everywhere throughout rural inside look at the program that
