metrically opposed to all the ef
torts of this Congress of the past
ten yeais to restore to the farm-
ers of this country something like
a normal income. Price fixing in
this field will never i/f be essential essential, !
until the n.-ieo P cc 1 vels of . these ag- j
ncultural .. commodities reach a
parity with non-agricultural com
modities, and with the wages paid
to labor.
This Congress for ten years has
worked harder on the problem of
restoring equitable prices for
farm products than on any other
of the many troublesome ques
tions before it. Billions of dollars
have been appropriated to subsi
the farmer’s income, foreign
markets bought by subsidy, and
costly reciprocal trade agree-,
ments with other countries enter
ed into a11 in the effort to raise
the price of the basic agricultural
products to normal levels.
T et all this carefully planned
work of our national legislature
and of Secretary Hull and his de
partment, is now being jeopardiz
ed by Mr. Henderson in hi s action
threatening drastic reductions in
prices. I believe that the recent
decline in the markets of the
prices of wheat, corn and cotton
were due directly to his action in

Ihwarted Ambition Turned
Edna Ferber to Writing r
t-T _ Ferber
is frustrated. In spite of a brilliant career as a writer.
i * n s P“e an enviable reputation in the literary world, the well
vI10wn aut horess can’t submerge an ambition she’s harbored since
s * le won t * le state declamatory contest just before graduation from
R vafl Hi S h School in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Milan magazine, fired a spark

Tl° US whel ) her fami| y imparted
tdle news ibat they couldn’t afford
such , trainin ^- she ™rched out in
a rage and got herself a job on the
■ Appleton Daily Crescent, and be
came the first female reporter in
i town - As a sirl reporter she did a
work ’ says the Drutman
article, covering . the courthouse,
the main street, interviewing cel£b
cities, all for the munificent sum of
three dollar* a week,
After five years of journalism,

recognition was her lot, says Drut
man, when she wrote the famous
Emma McChesney stories. Emma
was a woman salesman, and her
adventures were the subject of
some thirty stories, always clam
ored for loudly by the public. The
literary lights soon took notice of
her when she published her third
novel “The Sisters”. It traced three
generations of Chicago oid maids,
caused a tremendous success (some
consider it to be her best work)
and set the stage for such best
sellers as “So Big”, “Show Boat”,
"Cimmarron”, “Come and Get It”,
and the current Cosmopolitan se
rial “Saratoga Trunk”.
Now, in her early fifties, Edna
Ferber is a short, rather handsome
woman, Drutman reports, with a
head of thick curled white hair,
heavy-set brown eyes under a bold
Ibrow and spectacularly creamy ail
.complexion that is the envy of
her female friends. A woman of
tremendous mental vitality, she
puts a lifetime of comedy, farce,
and tragedy into each twenty-four
hours. She is cognizant of her
quirks and realizes that she
wouldn’t be the colorful writer she
is without them.
Tricked by circumstances out of
a professional stage career, Miss
Ferber has made up for it by act
ing in private life. Her novels and
short stories are packed solid with
meaty characters and dramatic in-
fixing —ceiling prices.
The price of cotton dropped
over $2.00 per bale, which based
on a twelve million bale crop
means a loss of twenty four mil
lion dollars to the cotton fanners
of America. Bear in mind the
fact that the Bureau of Econono
ics on May 15th determined the
parity price of wheat to be $1.15
per bushel, while the parity price
of cotton is 16.12 cents per pound,
and that of corn .83 1-2 cents per !
bushel. On June 28th, the day
after Mr. Henderson issued his I |
statement, the price ' of cotton
dropped from .1503 cents per j
pound to .1450 cents, wheat drop- i
ped from $1.06 1-2 per bushel to
$1.03 1-2 and corn declined from !
.74 3-4 cents per bushel to .73 5-8
and prices of soybeans and lard
dropped still more. 1

to prevent unwarranted inflation
or to protect the consuming pub
lic, and price fixing in this field
becomes essential, it seems to me
proper price levels should be de
termined only by appropriate con
ferences with real representa
tives of farmers, processors and
consumers of these products, and
price levels be fixed with due re
gard to all.
Nothing should be done to stop
the rise or to lower the prices of
basic agricultural commodities so
long as such prices are below
parity, because until these prices
reach parity, the farmers who
produce these commodities are
not receiving a living income.
Parity prices are fixed so that
farmers can buy what they need
on an equality with other men.
Parity prices are necessary for
farmers to furnish themselves and
families with proper clothing,
supplies and implements.
There will be a strenous effort
made to help this situation.
Sincerely,
A. Sidney Camp, M. C.

cidents. In her spare moments
away from the typewriter she is i
also given to dramatization. Her
circle of friends which .include such j
people as Noel Coward, Louis
Bromfield, Moss Hart and William
Allen White, will tell you that of
all the personal problems in the
world, hers are the direst. No hap- I
pening is too inconsequential to be
dynamited into a calamity.
After years of travel, Miss Ferber
settled down on a Connecticut estate
to write her biography, “A Peculiar
Treasure” in 1938. The house, Drut
man writes, is filled with the fur
niture she has collected for twenty
five years and has carpet in which
you sink up to your ankles. In con
trast with the luxury of the other
rooms is the den in which she works.
It is monastic and stark. It has a
typewriter, which she uses like a
shovel, and an old roll top desk.
Here she works all morning, all
afternoon, interrupting her work
only for short walks. She is gen
erous with praise and 'with money,
but not with her time. That she
guards spaced intervals, jealously Drutman and doles confides. out at |
:
For with her, writing is pot a pro- j
fession hut a necessary functi on. !
