chant is to be successful in supplying
the needs of his trade he must keep
in touch with the trade channels, and
to do so the trade depends on the mer-
chant and expects certain conditions
of him if both are to aid each other
to hold their own trade relations and
be successful.
Merchants ship in produce and sone-
times pay more for it than for home
grown products, because they can de-
pend on getting the goods from out
side regularly. The merchant must
depend on quantity, quality and price,
and to do this he must have his agent
in the trade keep him posted, which is
not a small item.
For this reason he cannot depend on
the rancher. The rancher may have
the goods one day and not another,
and he wants to supply the market at
his own convenience. If the merch-
ant had to depend on the rancher his
business would be at sea. The ranch

er with no speciality, and with whom
the merchant is not familiar on ac-
count of the farmers inability to sup
ply the trade regularly with what it
requires, must expect to find it diff
cult to sell to merchants, and to my
mind that solves the question of the
farmers idea of the lack of fair treat
ment on the part of the merchant.
The merchants are very willing to
deal with farmer whom they know
they can depend upon for a specially

but his customers and the quality OF
the goods are what rule, and quality
rules supreme when the market is
oversupplied. The customer is the as
set of the merchant and the latter
must study market conditions to
hold his customers, or he will
have liability. Market condi-
tions are regulated by trade chan
nels but controlled by the law
of supply and demand. If the mer-

gether too many who do not know 1t
and who continue to live on the basis
of a mere existence and whose farms
are an eyesore to the community and
a problem for the assessor.
Successful farmers are not common
and while one cannot always judge
from appearance, yet a drive, coupled
with an investigation, if one knows
how, among the farmers would soon
reveal that conditions are not what

there is a great op-
portunity in this
for the farmer who
will study these
conditions and be
equal to them.
Sometimes t h e
goods from the
rancher is the best
but more often it is
not. The trouble
with the farmer is
that because he
raised the stuff he
thinks it must be
the best, and his
egotism is as blind
as love.
Farmers have al
idea that they can
come to town with
goods and supply
the trade at will
and with anything
they may bring in
prOmiScOusly and
at any time. They
can do this iii a
measure on the
market or direct to
customers, but not

the sooner they
learn this the soon

not think of purchase until he knows
by experience something OF the eli
matte and other conditions of the
country and he should work at his
occupation for some one else for
year or take time to thoroughly study
the situation and then pick his soil,
location and site for the specially he
desires to follow.
It is not the fault of the country,
neither is it the fault of the merch-
ants, but mostly the fault of the farn.-
er himself that he leaves, and such
men are not practical farmers or they
would not have made the blunder they
did by acting so hastily as to leave for
newer pastures. They are impractl-
cal farmers and will continue to move
until they fail or locate in a place
where everything will come their way
or where conditions are such that sue
cess is not due to intelligent efforts on
their part. There is hope for the man

Green Corn VS.. Roots and Wet Malt.
(E j ROSSl

(E. J. ROSS)
After eight years of continuous trial
of corn for ensilage | believe without
doubt that corn is far better feed
for dairy cows for the dairymen of
Western Washington than any other
crop he can grow The roots, weight
for weight, may be equal to corn but
not so clean, or so easy or profitable
to raise. Then, again, the loss of roots
by spelling is always considerable,
while with well matured corn put into
properly constructed silo there is no
loss at all. The harvesting of corn,
cutting, and putting in the silo come
at time of year when other farm
work is not pressing. 1t is then ready
to be taken out and fed when needed,
without grinding or hauling during

the best; that tele'
phone tolls and
trolley charges
were too many and
too high, etc.
These conditions
exist everywhere
and always will.
The reason is that
such farmers are
too hasty or too ig-
norant of their
business. Modern
farming covers so
many phases that
it must be segre-
gated into speci-
alties; competition
of the present day
demands it. This
requires that in
tensive principles
be applied, and for
the most portion
only be practiced
upon a small acre
age, especially If
one is limited in
capital and exper-
ience, which is too
commonly the case.
New settlers act
too hastily in their
purchase of land,
and it is an excep-
ton if one of them
is competent to
judge, because our
climate and soil
conditions are not
to be compared TO
eastern or Otner
sections not bOr-
dering on Puget

He would take the plunge, and he
would justify II. His mind went trav-
cling back over the g%raceless year,
and he suddenly realized that he had
forfeited the confidence of men who
were worth while. His course in
profigacy would not be considered the
best training for business. The thought
nerved him TO action. He must make
good. Peggy had faith in him. She
came to him when everything vas
against him. and he would slave for
her. he would starve, he would do any
thing to prove that she was not mis-
taken in him. She at least should
know him for a man.
Looking toward the window, he saw

there came the sound of a 3 O'Clock

tory whistles were borne to his ears,
mutfled by distance, but pregnant with
the Importance of a new day of toll.
They were calling him. with all poor
men, TO the sweatshop and the forge, to
the great mill of life. The new era
had begun, dawning bright and clear
to dispense the gloom in his soul. Lean

ing where he could earn the first dollar
