AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 
Mr. Fort. How about the 94 per cent of the farmers that are not 
in the cooperatives? 
Mr. Kircore. They would all own the surplus alike, whether 
they were cooperatives or noncooperatives. 
Mr. Fort. Who is going to let them know that? 
Mr. KiLgore. The cooperative associations; county agents and 
farm organizations. People have means of communication and of 
information to-day that they did not have few years ago. They are 
pretty well informed. 
Mr. Fort. I would like to go on, Mr. Kilgore, but it is 12 o'clock. 
Mr. FuLMER. Just one question in connection with his argument. 
Mr. Fort. I want to proceed with the witness later, if we are 
going to continue to sit. 
Mr. Fuimer. The producer would know about the increased 
production, because he would be called upon for a larger fee if he 
increased the production. 
Mr. KiLcore. Yes; quite so. 
Mr. Apkins. Nobody that ever underton- 
but what broke up. 
Mr. KiLGorE. 1':¢ large ones where tnev 
territory. 
Mr. Apkins. And none went in with the intention of losing money? 
Mr. KiLgore. No. 
Mr. Apkins. But past experience has shown you can not do it 
and depend on good merchandizing to do it. 
The CrAIRMAN. Are you through, Doctor Kilgore? How much 
more time do you need? 
Mr. KiLcorE. Mr. Chairman, I had another thought I wanted to 
present. I could do it in 15 or 20 minutes, if not interrupted. 
The CrarRMAN. How long would it take you to conclude? 
Mr. KiLcore. I have a concluding statement I had prepared which 
it would take me about 15 minutes to state. 
The CuairMaN. The understanding is that we will hear to-morrow 
Doctor Taber and Professor Stewart, on the debenture. 
The committee will now adjourn to meet to-morrow forenoon at 
10 o’clock. 
(Thereupon, at 12.03 o’clock p. m., the committee adjourned to 
meet to-morrow, Wednesd>v. Februs— 1928, at 10 o’clock a. m.)
