Cooperation Needed.
Our Farmers and StOckmen Should Take
Hand In the encouragement OF
New ENTERPRISES.

AS developed by recent struggles
of committees from our Harrison,
Commercial Club, the conservatism
of the farmers of the section is doing
much to retard the development OF
both town and country.
Due perhaps to a past policy OF
individual action only, they seem re-
luctant to enter into any manner OF
cooperation, and do not feel that it
is worth while even to change their
plans in the interest of some new
enterprise, no matter how import
ant this enterprise may be to the
country generally.
If it is the establishment of a
creamery they will not agree to de-
vote the product Of Il portion Of
their herd at the highest market
price to insure a basis for the busi-
ness lfit is the organization Of a
Strawberry Association, they do
not wish to plant limited amount
Of ground to form a basis; the same
as to broom corn for a broom fac
tory, or vegetables for a canning
factory.
Some Of them express themselves
as anxious for these proposit' Jns
which should affect iayorably the
price Of their products, but they
want the factory to take all the
chances or their neighbors to furnish
all the encouragement,
1t is needless to say that this pos
ition is all wrong, and must be
changed before much can be accom-
plished, even though the town or
the Commercial Club use their best
efforts to secure industries Of gen.
cral character
Men of ability or means sufficient
to carry to success any manuIactur'
ing enterprise or organization OF

ofat least products enough to COM
mencc business with, and in this de-
partment Of the work our farmers
should be willing to do their share
in the up-buiding Of the country,
even though the Encouragement of
their plans may require q temporary
sacrifice,
1t will pay them in the long run,
in more ways than one, and comes
in the line of wide.awake citizenship
