when this is done, feel their interest increased

Why Farmers Must Cooperate.

Some of the reasons can be given in a
very few words:
First. No movement of any extent, nc
matter how obscure the origin, ever succeed.

Second. By cooperation the prices OIL
produce are kept down by the purchasers
and only by cooperation can this oppression
be successfully offset.
Third. To have voice in the control Of
the produce market, farmers must reach Out
moreover to England, if necessary-for
England and Europe control the markets Of
this country much more than some of ouI
would-be wise men are willing to admit.
Fourth. Isolation, and the living exclu'
sively on their own farms, as it were, have
brought the agricultural community of the
greater part OF this country into the loom.

Fifth Ii the farmers do not take advan

your own judgment, at all shat you will find
your best position to be, and to remain, in

The above from the National Granger
gives brief but cogent reasons why farmers
must cooperate. Heretofore much of the
financial work of the order has been done
haphazard aud but little cooperation effected
except by the state agency. The time has
come when all the agencies in New England
should cooperate together, and a national
