BOARD ANNOUNCED
MINIMUM PRICES
That Farmers Should Get For
Their Products.
Adopted at National Convention
and Ratified by State, C0un-
~ and Local Unions.

The following minimum prices are
those agreed upon by the American
Society of Equity at its annual meet
ing for. the present crops, says Up
to-date Farming. They are decided
upon by the board representing ev'
cry line of agricultural production
The members of the board are aided
by an exhaustive system of crop re-
ports, undoctored, reliable and made
in the interest of the farmers and
not of the speculators. They com
pare production and consumption
and thereby determine. in real ac-
cordance with the law of supply and
demand, what the proper mini
mum price is for the various prod
ucts. They are adopted by the ma
tional convention and ratified by the
state, county and local unions of the
society. These are the prices:

ern spring, Minneapolis. 81; wheat,

hogs, Sc to $3.50; cattle, Sc to $3.50,
Below these prices, the society
urges, farmers should not sell. Each
is based on a central market and
the farm price will be enough less
to equal freight and a fair commits
sion to the handlers. Farmers
should control their. marketing so as
to keep the market hungry and the
demands seeking the supply, when
they can make their own prices.
They should see to it that their crops
go off of the farms throughout the
period of a year instead of in a few
months.
Farmers can complete these prices
by refusing to sell for less, and those
farmers who hold for these prices
are very certain to get them, for
the world needs all of the crops and
not only part of them. and will
pay the farmers price, if he stead
tasty refuses to accept the prices
made by spectators on boards of
trade and exchanges.
