given you, Mr.. Farmer? A market for
your produce What has made 20 to
so per cent. of the present value OF
your farm? The accessibility of
market. You know what your grand
father did on that same farm? Drove
his hogs and hauled his grain 80, 90,
maybe 70 miles to the nearest market
town, and received prices for them
that would make you howl about the
trusts. And he hauled back the fam
lily supplies for which he paid what
YOU would consider monopolistic
prices. Do you happen TO know what
the old farm was worth then? Well,
II lacked a good deal Of being $50 or
800 an acre.
Yes, the home town, with its handy
market, has advanced the value oil
your property and made you worth
several thousand dollars more than
your grandfather was worth The
home town affords schooling for your
children, and perhaps social and
church privileges which your family
would not otherwise enjoy. The rural
mail routes and telephone systems,
radiating from the home town, as
spokes from a hub, bring to your
home the greatest conveniences OF
modern times.
Have you ever noticed that the first
thing the settlers of a newly-opened
reservation do is to send for a wagon
load of mail order catalogues? Well, |
haven't. They lay out a town site
every six or eight miles, start two or
three general stores, build a school
house. a church, a blacksmith shop. a
grain elevator, petition the depart
ment for a post office, and start a
newspaper. They know from former
experience that, with these things
close by. life will be endurable, what
ever hardships may come. They know,
also that without them they must i've
lives of isolation and endure an exist
ence that is contrary to all natural
human instincts.
On the other hand, 1t goes without
saving, that the average country town
cannot exist without the support OF
it's tributary territory. Then, If that
town affords the advantages for the
rural citizen that have been enumerat'
cd there exists what we may call an
interdependence and a moral obliga
tion between the two. Are you, Mr.
Thrifty Farmer, living up to that OBJ
lgatlon when you do your trading
with the mail order house?
To this line of argument the farmer
may answer that his greatest obligta
ton. his FIRST duty. is to his Immediate
