Mr.. EDITOR This community is at
flicted with pests" at the present time,
especially our farmers. They are troubled
with agents Tor pests) so-called from the
simple fact that they skin the farmer out
of per cent. of his products without
money, brains, labor, or running any risk
whatever.
The farmers plant their crops early in
the spring time, and cultivate the same
with great care and considerable ex 1ense,
while these pests are asleep. Il don't
think these pests go out and help the
farmer to raise his crops,) but there is one
thing l do know, just as soon as the farmer
has his crop grown and ready for market,
these pests greet him in the following way:
lst. Say, what are you going to do, sell
your products or ship Cust as if the farmer
didn't know how to dispose of his crop as
well as he did to grow it, If you are
going to ship, ship to my man, he is great !
End. Can't you try my man just with
one shipment? He is the best man in the
market, and / guarantee payments, (of
course do when / amt got penny in
vested in the scheme.) l only have to do
some nice talking.
Sd. Say, you farmers are fools to sell to
those buyers here, they are robbing you
Ship to my man. Just look what he
quotes the market Showing postal written
week ago., just as if the market didn't
change but once week, or twice month.
Why you foolish agents, the buyers here
buy our produce, do all the work pertain
ing to barreling, marketing, shipping, etc.
and very often get less than per cent.
But some of our farmers are making fat
living for those pests (or agents Talk
about hard times and the tariff, why sir a
tariff is consistent in those times when

Why, sir, if the market broke, the agents
can't loose, because they have no capital
invested.
You foolish agents, we farmers ought not
| to be such fools as this much longer. 1t is
time to wake up, turn over a new leaf, get
out of the old ruts, for what do you agents
know about the shipping business. Why.
sir; some of them are doing business here
under an assumed name. Their is one OF
them that looks as if be didn't know the
way home, but he is smart enough to get
his 8 per cent. commission if our practical
farmers are foolish enough to ship to his
man, even if he don't know enough to 60

have one more remark to make. The
farmer has perfect right to dispose of his
products just as he pleases regardless of
buyers or these pesty agents, and no man
has right to interfere with him in doing
SO, but without labor their should be no
pay. One word is sufficient for the wise, so
