Farmers Trust.

Thomas EmmertOn of BlOomer,
president of the Wisconsin So
ciety of Equity, believes the on
ly method to curb the trusts is
for farmers to have a trust of
their own. He has started at the
task. During the past year the
society refused to sell the tobac-
co raised and owned by mem
bers for Less than a certain price,
The tobacco kings bucked, but
Emmerton built tobacco sheds
in southwestern Wisconsin where
the tobacco of the members was
pooled and boxed ready for sale
The insurance companies inSur'
ed the tobacco against losses by
fires and after some delay, thf
bankers loaned money upon tht
tobacco in the pool as security
Nearly all of last years crop has
been sold from the pool at from
2 to 6 cents more a pound thai
could ordinarily have been re
eeived," according to Mr.. En-
merton. Another tobacco poo
was formed this year.
The society recently held a con
vention here and decided to 60
step further. A 100000 packin,
house will be built in southern
Wisconsin where the meats vii
be stored. When he bulls an,
the bears attempt to force tn
market down the meats will b
placed in cold storage until
price sufficiently high has bee,
restored. Grain elevators vii
be erected and Emmerton's ide
is to have all farming product
of the state sold in this manner
The society is willing and anz
ious to sell to consumers, for thu
efforts are directed to eliminat
the middleman and the commis'
ion merchant, or make them b
content with a reasonable pro-
lit. Emmerton is a farmer an
is reputed to be worth millions
