farmers have made noted success in

The non profit making corporation
is the closest approach to democratic
control of business. 1t has a number
of advantages:
l. 1t exists by efficiency rather
than dividends. The measure of it's
usefulness, therefore, will be in the
net prices to the growers who own
it's stock.

production of any crop, and il is
non-eXclusive in its membership.

Farmers of three countries held a
meeting in Chicago the other day to
talk about their own affairs. Their
lot in recent years had made them
doubt whether farming pays. So they
spent three days discussing this and
related questions, and they formulat-
ed plan of action for relief.
Such was the First National Con-
ference on Marketing and Farm
Credits, initiated by the Associated
Farm Papers, an organization includ-
ing this journal. Every other farm
journal in this country and in the
Dominion of Canada was invited to
cooperate, and many of them joined
the movement, lending the weight of
their editorial influence, and the use
of their reading columns. The
Orange-Judd Weeklies bore part of
the expense of the Conference though
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-06-01

been WelI-detined for all
farm crops in all sec
tions. How many can
tell the cost of the eggs,
or the butterfat, or the
hogs sold? The first step
in betterment then is
for farmers to caulk their
business organizations
and seek tie short cuts.
WHAT KIND OF OR
GANIZATION IS BEST?
Speakers differed as TO
the best form of organi-
zation for farmers. This
writer, however, believes
that the trend in inevita-
bly, toward the purely
cooperative form of or
ganization, known as the
non profit making cor
poration. His opinion
he bases upon a some

gan grape and peach growers are in
terested in the far western situation.
Citrus fruit growers of California and
Florida have Identical problems in
marketing, and their interests are in
common. The interests of all grain
sections are Identical. This parallel
ism can be continued throughout all
farm crops.
PUNCTURING AN OLD
TRADITION.
Consumers, not conversant with the
truth, have for long time cherished
a deep-seated belief that the farmer
profits most from the high cost of
living. The Chicago conference
effectively destroyed that thought.
Delegates showed that farm products
are rotting in the fields, because far
mers cannot sell at prices that will

the major portion was
sustained by the Associ-
ated Farm Papers.
This gathering was a
significant one, and held
the attention of the
world for the time it
worked. It was the first
really great opportunity
the farmer has had in late
years to proclaim his
views on the high cost of
living. 1t was the first
time the American far
mer has been willing to
throw a searchlight upon
own his way of doing
business, and to esti mate
without exaggeration his
work and his relation to
the world. But more i'm
portant still, it was the
first time that a national
gathering of far m ers
has crYstaIlized it's work
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-06-01

and sentiment into a few definite
aims, and concentrated it's strength
in an endeavor to accomplish them.
Delegates numbered 442-from 81
states in the United States. four pro-
vinces of the Dominion of Canada and
from Mexico. These delegates voiced
the opinion and authority OF powerful
farmers organizations, state and
federal institutions, banks and rail
way systems. The personnel was of
the highest; the character of the dis
cussions was fair minded and without
prejudice; and the remedies proposed
we're based upon principles rather than
untried theories of the academic
mind.
DOES FARMING PAY?
Those who listened to the impartial
and searching analyses of the problem
must have sensed the approaching
disillusionment of the American

THE RACES

hANGELf, COIO., JUNE y, 1910.
THE RACES
The matched race between Lee
Marigold's "Charlie" horse and Jim
McGuire's Dynamite" was run yes
terday. The race was matched sew
eral weeks ago and both horses were
in good shape. Bob Goss rode Char
lie and Fred Nichols rode Dynamite,
Lenord Lewis was starter and Alma
Crandell and j. NJ. Walsh, judges.
Dynamite was the favorite and many
bets were placed on him being day
light" in the lead from 100 yards to
the outcome. A good deal of money
changed hands and the amount
would have been much larger If it
hadn't been for the scarcity of ofbetters
on "Charlie." 'sCharlie" led from
start to finish and won by about thir-
ty feet.
The second race was match race
between Goss and Marigold's "Buck-
skin" and Chester Arnspig gers
''Prince." This was 800 yard race,
and prince" won by a nose. They
were re-matched and ran tie. The
third time, though, the Arnspiger
horse won easily.
The next race to be pulled of was
between Marigold's ''Charlie" (win-
ner in the first race) and Ferguson's
Brownie mare. AS the rider of
Brownie said, 'they came from
Meeker to get race, and they got
it." The race was matched for an
hour and thirty minutes after the
first race for distance of 800 yards.
Nichols rode Charlie" and George
Mckee started the race. After scor-
ing a couple of times the racers came
to the scratch 'nose to nose" and
were tapped off. 1t was hard and
exciting race for the first half but the
home horse (Charlle) led from the
start and finished good length in
the lead.
Assessor Hartke was in town yes
terday.
