When Farmers Prosper.

When the farmer prospers he
divides up with everybody else,
to a certain extent.
The first man to benefit by the
high price and excellent yield of
wheat this year was the laboring
man, who seeing the great pros
perity ahead for the farmer, de-
manded an increase of about so
per cent in wages before touch
ing the harvest.
This demand the farmer con-
ceded before cutting straw of
his crop.
Next the warehouse ccmbi-
nation advanced the prices of
storage SO per cent, and the farm
er will pay it, of course, when he
takes pay for his crop from the
warehouse company.
And then, seeing the Weld in
creasing ard the land advancing
in value, the assessor raises the
assessment on wheat land, and
the farmer divides up his profits
