The Price Counts

No farmer gets rich hy the
onantity Of production. Il is the
price he gets for his production
and economy and business judg-
ment displayed in management
that makes the farmer wealthy.
We cannot pass a law that will
increase the price of production
or reduce the cost Of plowing the
land and marketing the crop. We
must depend upon factories and
railroads for marketing our pro-
duets and upon improved mechan-
ical appliances and the business
ability Of the farmer TO reduce
the cost Of production and TO
more inteIIigenily market his pro-
duets.
We need more builders and
fewer law givers in IexaA
