The lightning speed of the auctions is another weapon: farmers are just as bemused by the auctioneer's chant as are radio listeners when Speed Riggs gives out on The Hit Parade. The manufacturers' control of these markets, the trustbusters argued, was made still more effective by their ability to stay away at any time, since they maintain 2½-3-year supplies for aging...
