ganized, and farmers, in dealing
with any of these. receive no BEN

object Of organization is to main
tain the prices that farmers land
others) must pay for their goods,
or their services. These are also
consumers of farm products, and
are enabled, through their organ
izations, to regulate the price they
pay. Therefore, by refraining
from organization farmers permit
others to fix the prices they, re-
ceive as we'll as the prices they
pay. 1t might be better for all
parties if universal competition
prevailed, but it does not and
farmers should make the best OF
the conditions which they cannot
prevent. This they are doing. but
only small per cent Of them par
ticipate. Cotton growers, fruit
growers, truck growers, nursery
men, florists, cattle raisers, cattle
breeders, swine breeders, sheep
breeders, wool growers, and poul-
&ry breeders, have their local and
state associations, but mary indi-.
yiduals remain out OF doors as re-
CARDS organization. and by SO do
ing weaken the organizations in-
tended fer their benefit, and place
themselves at q disadvantage in
selling, buying, and shipping.
! Not the least important benefit TO
be derived from organization is
the educational advantage to be
derived therefrom. A farmer may
learn much from his own exper-
fence, but OF any two INDIVIDUALS
! the knowledge possessed by both
is greater than that possessed by
either. Therefore if two farmers
meet and commune with each
other on farm topics, either both
are benefited or both are fools.
When a number of farmers meet
to discuss subjects in which all
are interested, each can learn on
any subject all that is known by
all who discuss the subject. Then,
if those who meet and discuss are,
as usual, the most successful, each
in his particular line, how much
greater the possible benefit!
Farmers who voluntarily deny
themselves all the benefits to be
derived from organized effort. are
the material that hermits are made
of.

POOR HUMAN NATURE.
One Phase Of 1t Illustrated by the
Dropping of Coin.

Tt was raining hard when a cab
drove up to one Of the Broadway
theaters and a man and woman
alighted. The woman hurried into
the playhouse, while the man drew
out a roll Of bills and handed the
driver his fare. AS he hurried to-
ward the lobby, thrusting the bal
ance Of his money into his pocket,
there was a jingling sound as coin
fell to the sidewalk. The man
paused for a moment, looking at the
walk in search Of the coin; then, as
the rain increased, he hurried into
the playhouse.
Several persons had heard the
coin fall. By the sound it could
not have been Of large denomina-
ton, but everybody looked for it,
not openly, but furtiyely. First a
big policeman sauntered across the
walk with eyes bent on the pave
ment. A cab driver descended from
his box and followed in the police
mans trail The chauffeur Of a pri-
vate automobile next took a trip
over the course. Two well dressed
young men smoking anteperform-
ance cigarettes walked abreast from
the sheltering lobby to the curb'
stone in the downpour. A news
boy who came up at that juno
ture scented a "fnd" Of some de-
scription and without any attempt
at concealment "rubbered" energet-
ically about the walk, pausing now
and then to ask anxiously, "What
was ii? ?"
The search, both furtive and
open, was abandoned, and the char
acters moved away. From the door
way of an adjoining building
emerged a man of the actor out of
work type. He glanced around rath-
er shamefacedly; but, seeing only
one person, and that one apparently
not noticing his actions, he made. a
thorough and protracted search.
Near the curb he found the coin
and, holding it to the light to learn
its value, disclosed penny.-New
