...farmer," he said, "wants no governmental price-fixing on his products and he courts the minimum of state control of his affairs.

"I can see," added Mr. McKelvie, "the possibility, aye, the probability, of a system of cooperative marketing fostered by the government under which the farmer may retain his independence and initiative while working out his problems."
