WILSON BLAMES
LACK OF SCIENCE
Tells Farmers at st. Louis That
Ignorance Leads to Un-
told Waste.
METHODS MUST BE BETTER
b. F. Yoakum Lays Responsibility for
High Prices Upon Greed of
the Middleman.

St. Louis. Mo-, May 4.-That the
farmers are not producing half what
they should because of the lack Of
practical education was the explana-
tion of the high cost of living prob
lem offered by Secretary of AgTicul-
ture Wilson in an address last night
to the Farmers union.
Wilson received a mixed greeting.
A motion that the delegates rise
when the secretary entered was vot-
ed down with cries, HE is no better
than we are." When he appeared,
half of the audience stood up, while
others shouted "sit down" He was
roundly applauded at the conclusion
of his address. In his address Will
son said of the high cost of living
that he found that the charge that
farmers combined to put prices was
untrue.
Educate the Farmers.
He said that the population of the
United States is increasing a couple
of mNlion a year and that the pro-
duction is not keeping pace, the re-
suit being that prices have gone up.
Something must be done. OF IA
states in the Mississippi valley, not
one is producing half the crops it
should because the farmers are not
taught scientific farming. Wilson
said that the farmers must be iedu-
Gated. "If 1 had nothing else to do
l should become a lobbyist in my
state, to demand that agriculture be
taught in every one of the 80 or more
colleges there" The secretary said
also that the young farmers must
be kept on the farm.
Yoakum Hits MIddIemen.
Excessive profit-taking by middle
men was the reason assigned for high
prices of foodstuffs by B. F. Yoakum,
chairman of the Frisco system, in an
address which he made yesterday af-
ternoon. He declared that the heavy
reductions in freight rates of the past
few years had been absorbed by the
dealers and not shared in by the farm
ers or consumers.
Better marketing methods were ad-
vanced as a means by which farmers
would get better prices for the food
they raised and at the same time lower
figures would be given to those who
buy the stuff for use in the kitchen.
He described the demagogic politician
as a disturbing and expensive middle
agent and urged that he be cut out in
the dealings which the railroads and
the farmers should have with each
other.
Farmers Should Organize.
"The most important force for the
welfare of the nation will come when
the land owners of America are organ
ized," said Mr.. Yoakum. This organ
ization is important not only fer the
benefits which will come to the farm
will be saved by the consumers"
