Mr. GrOODRiCH. Let me change it. Here is what I meant to say,
if I did not say it. We have got these boys coming home, and per-
haps there will not be employment for everybody, but these boys,
a great many of them, were raised on the farm, and they know wheat
and thrashing crews, and it might be a source of employment to these
fellows while things are being readjusted. That is all. In our State,
I do not think you would need it, because we have county agents in
76 of 92 counties.
Mr. Thompson. Don't you think that is pretty general throughout
the country?

Mr. Goodrich. I hope so.
Mr. Thompson. And don't you think it would be a good deal
better to discharge these men from the Army, father than to control
the farms by military operation ?

Mr. Goodrich. les, sir. These men are to be discharged, 1
assume, as soon as they can be, but they are capable young fellows,.
and have had some training on the farms.
Mr. Thompson. They are very capable. There is no doubt about
that.
Mr. DooLiTTLE. You would have these soldiers go on the farms,,
however, after they have been discharged ?

Mr. Goodrich. Sure; a source of employment. That is all.
Mr. Candler. Mr. Goodrich, you have stated that this organization
represents the grain dealers. You have no special interests, and da
not represent the interests, either of the producer or of the consumer f

Mr. Goodrich. No, sir; we do not.
Mr. Candler. And hence the views expressed by your organiza-
tion and by each individual member, have been the views by gentle-
men who are dealing in the grain and not the ones who have pro-
duced the grain?

Mr. Goodrich. Yes, sir.
