He noted industrial strikes and weak agriculture representation in conferences, warning that efforts to lower prices may worsen the cost of living for producers. He cited wheat selling at a loss and a barrel of flour requiring four and a half bushels of wheat with the farmer earning about 37 dollars while others take profits.
