The meeting was called to discuss the

that many cases now 'ncurable are the
result of comparatively trivial causes,
which. IL their sequel had been wisely

THE FARMER NOT RESPONSIBLE.

There has not been a time in the
past thirty years when the prices Of
the necessities of life, and particularly
foodstuffs, have been higher than they
are today and no time when folks were
looking into the cause Of high prices
more than now. 1t is very easy to
take it for granted that the original
producer-the tiller of the soil, farmer
and gardeners the person chiefly
responsible for the high cost of living,
but a close study Of price conditions
which is being made does not seem TO
bear out this contention. Investigators
have found that of the dollar which
the consumer spends for meat, bread
stuffs, fruit and vegetables, the pro-
Queer or grower who does the bulk of
the working and sweating and who
bears all the loss in case Of unfavora-
BILE weather conditions, receives the
munificent sum of 81 cents. and out of
this must come all expenses of produc-
ton The other 30 per cent is appro-
priated. absorbed, or whatever you
want TO call it, by the chaps who han
uIc IL dIltI IL ltuNtS Nut IlOuuNtl
hands-the transportation companies,
the commission or middle man and the
retailer. On the superstition that these
three factors in distribution share
equally, they absorb close to 30 cents
apiece on every dollars worth Of stuff
which the consumer buys. but this is
certainly not the case with many arti-
cles Of consumption. However in the
case Of meats, recent investigation
showed that the town and city retailer
was eXacting a profit ranging all the
way from 20 TO - per cent. On the
supposition that middleman and retail
er appropriate 10 cents each, the rail
roads absorb the balance, which is 10
cents. While feverish agitation may
not result in lowering prices in an APP
preciable degree the average consumer,
out of sheer curiosity, if for no other
reason would like to know a little
more definitely where that 65 cents

AN THE BARNYARDS."

A we'll known agricultural authority
and student of conditions prevailing
throughout the great cotton belt has
recently said that the economic and
agricultural salvation OF the south in
years to come lies in the barnyards of
that section. meaning thereby the
adoption OF dairying and stock rails
ing with attendant crop rotation In
place of the present shortsighted, one
year leaves the land poorer and keeps
the cotton grower dependent on the
outside world for his breadstuffs, meat
and dairy products and for the grain
and forage supplies needed for the few
beasts of burden he does keep. In
force of the above agricultural truth
Is already being realized, and the
better way is being inaugurated.
What is true Of the south is true, IL in
less degree. Of the east. west and
north. OF New York and Massachu-
sas. California and Nebraska. of Geor-
gia and Mississippi This doctrine of
agricultural salvation needs preaching

the only way out, and the sooner we
realize it as a people the better will 1t
be for our own generation and those
to follow.

Veterinary science has done much to
