Which way the NFO editorial sparks national growth debate
A reader letter praises the Chronicle for its editorial Which way the NFO and argues the National Farmers Organization is a dynamic national force. It notes growth in New York and New Jersey joining Idaho and Colorado, contracts with processors, and rising farm prices pressure. The writer defends NFO against critics, argues for price setting by farmers, and cites Capper Volstead Act and Sherman Act distinctions, urging unity among farmers and merchants. The letter closes urging support for the NFO to avert decline toward socialism.
