situation concludes: II there are men who
can bring US fresh country butter eggs pOta-
toes, fruits, in fact everything we use all
fresh from the place OF production at a much
less price than the groceryman charges why
should We not cry down this monOpolyy If
the producer could sell his products for a fair
price 10 the grocerymeu and get cash for
them, so that he could take that cash and go
where ne liked and get what he wanted. il
would put another color upon things But the
groceryman wants him to trade il out and the
groceryman makes one profit there. Then he
sells the green groceries at another profit.
When you consider what the producer has to
contend with-hrSt poor land. frosts some
times no rain, again too much hard storms,
ETC., etc.-dO you for one moment think he
gets too much for what he raises. even If he
does peddle from door to door? l. for one,
choose TO buy direct from the farmer and get
good wholesome goods and not have to take
from the groceryman wilted vegetables and
those unfit for eating.

southern farmers have raised cotton until
Lney think they cannot raise anything else.

ment in such farming. Why? Because the
farmer has to take all his cotton money to
pay Tor something to eat and feed his stock
Now, If he would raise plenty Of corn and oats
ana wheat ana cotton, he could, he would
have some money to buy such things as he
needed Tor the comfort OF his family and be
able TO pay the cash and avoid that monster
