We were not well educated and win

TO our great advantage. Think how
easily me producers of wool could
have pu, millions of dollars into
their pockets this season by comroll-
ing The marketing of their wool as we
should. Also JUS, think of the mill
ions of dollars chat have been lost by
the farmers CT our country i'm the
last eight months in the price of our
hogs and how easily the situation
could have been controlled had the
whole couil.ry been organized as II
should be. Feeding high-priced corn
To low-priced nOgs has demonstrated
the great need of organization. In

things could be mentioned, let M ap-

splendid organization for any ons-crop
organization. President Berry, of the
new organization, says its up to the
equitydtes. This is courteous, yet we
agrees with him most hearSily. 1t
seems to me that It's been so all she

1t has been urged by some of the pro-
moters of the new organization that
