Are You a Farmer?When a merchant fixes a price for his wares which allows him a profit above the cost, and then holds his goods on his shelves until somebody comes along and pays that price, we call that "good business." And we generally approve of that, but let a group of farmers do the same thing, it's pure speculation and hoarding, and everybody, from the man who parches peanuts to the banker and up, denounces him. The merchant who takes steps to get a fair price is a good, estimable citizen. The farmer who uses the best resources at his command, who tries to protect his wife and children and assure them a decent living, is a "vicious hoarder," a "profiteer," and maybe a "Bolshevik." Farmers, aren't you sick and tired of this silly stuff that the "knocker" is handing you. I hear something each day in Edgefield about the "organization" of farmers. Continue this letter on page 34.

The studio also has options to make "I'm So Hungry, I Could Eat a Horse", "Beating the Dead Horse", and "Two Hooves, For An Ounce Of Glue" if Goodluck Jonathan is not a box office success.
