Five hundred Iowa farmers have
tried the experiment OF going into
business for themselves. dealing in
many staple articles used upon the
farm and buying all kinds of farm
produce. In 1901 they transacted busl-
ness to the amount OF S620 900. at an
outlay of about $4,000. inclusive OF
salaries. taxes and insurance. In 1902
the volume of business was approxl-
mately S63O.000. Since these farmers
organized their company thirteen years
ago. the business transacted has
amounted to over s4.000,000. and the
expense of carrying II on has aver
aged $4,000 year. The story of this
economical experiment. with sugges-
tlon of Its possibilities. told by w. S.
