Carl F. Krakow, the greater among

Intead of farming land selling

for $3.50, and we know of none

which can be touched for $500.

knows there are five.
The aggregate of bank deposits
is given at $3.50. 900. This is a

the banks of Beach alone have
over 100000. as can be seen by

A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio
states: "There has been organized
a consumers league for the pur-
pose of combating the higher price
of food ana that as result the price
of meat has been reduced two
cents a pound" That the price
of bread will also be forced
down.
This dispatch contains some
food for reflection on the part
of the farmer. Organization is
the key note. What is the grain
grower going to do to sustain
his prices against the organized
consumer Of the east?
Senator McCumber in the
mastery address delivered by him
before the Tri-State Grain Crow
ers Association said, CHOW when
increasing demand without in
creasing supply adds SO to 100
per cent to the value Of our prod
ucts, how long will they pay it?
The demand for cheaper food is
the most effective demand in the
world.' Already we see this
prediction being fulfilled. What
are our wheat growers going to
do about it? Organization is the
remedy, the speaker on this point
said, eff the farmer himself would
go about the matter of organiza-
tion for his benefit and continue it
in determined way, he would have
an easier path to tread than any
other organization on the face
of the earth"
Every farmer who has given
the matter the slightest thought,
knows full we'll that organization
means sustained prices for him
and that an organization con-
Quoted on the right lines, differed
and managed by the farmer, will
bring success. Many farmers
rightly contend that lawyers and
merchants have no place in far
mers organization. The farmer
should manage his own affairs;
