A Farmers Trust, a combina-
ton for protection against the
"interests," was the one new
thing that President Roosevelt
declared for in his long speech on
the general subject of farming,
delivered at the Michigan Agricul-
tural College. He said the farmers
ought to be able to combine to
protect their industry, and that it
is only by such combination that
the farmers can develop to the full
their agricultural and economic
power. His advice was strikingly
like pronunciamento of the old
Farmers Alliance that fnall Y
developed into the Populist party
some years ago.
