We are free to confess that we feel

of drawing trade and taking the place

farmer. Evidently the delegates did
not consider the farmer the most in
dependent of men. Speakers pointed
upon a giant canvas-from Northwest
to Southeast--a repeated series of
disasters. They told of bountiful
crops grown by farmers, and Of poor
prices received for them. They told
how the growers have come to regard
large crop as a penalty, rather than
a blessing, and they showed that a
large crop, because of inability to dis
tribute properly. does not benefit the
consumer. Even while delegates from
the Northwest we're telling their
troubles, Hood River Spitzenburg
apples were retailing in Chicago at 65
cents a dozen-at least 300 per cent
profit above the price to the growers.
The speakers went further and re-
minded the politician and other self
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-06-01

seekers how they had lulled the farm
er with songs to his vanity; but
they did not fail to remind the far
mer how he has aided in his own self
deception. In short, the Chicago
conference signalled an awakening,
preluded a campaign for economic
freedom. The harpies of trade had
preyed too long upon disorganized
class. The revolt was inevitable.
INTER-LINKING OF FARMERS
INTERESTS.
The evidence offered proved beyond
doubt that the same general problem,
in relation to marketing, affects all
sections. To illustrate Box-apple
sections are much better organized
than barrel-apple districts. The
latter then is constant menace to the
former. Peach growers of Georgia
are keenly interested in conditions
prevailing in the Southwest. Michi-

ture of effect, time and money. The
higher the efficiency test of any in
stitution, the more successful it is
sure to become. Whether factory,
store or farm, "cost" must be the
basis of all operations, and the wise
manager prunes away the non, essen
tials.
The idea of business efficiency origi-
mated in the industrial world and has
fowered there. To the agricultural
world it is still embryonic. The far
mer, generally, is unaccustomed to
figuring investment, interest, de-
terioration labor, uperintendence
overhead expense and other necessary
items in estimating the cost of grow
ing a bushel of wheat or pound of
cotton. Farm bookkeeping is un-
known on many farm. Indeed the
principles of cost finding have not

pay freight bills. They prove that
the farm price of many commodity
is insufficient to justify growth. And
some went even further and claimed
that the solution of consumers S
troubles will rest largely With pro-
ducers, who must undertake a more
equitable distribution of farm pro-
ducts.
And now the theme turns to con-
structive effort; for this conference
was by no means pessimistic in its
tone. The delegates did not seek to
incriminate the middlemen. They
hold that the middleman is not neces-
sarily to blame, since he has merely
taken advantage of the unprotected
condition of the producing and con-
suming interests. They recognized
that the trouble lies largely in the
farmers lack of business efficiency.
Efficiency in business signifies that
work is done with the least expendi-
