David f. Houston, federal secretary
of agriculture. is a firm believer in
the need for cooperative action
among farmers. In a recent address
before the national grange he said:
In simple justice the producer must
be paid specifically for what he pro-
duces and for nothing else, and the
CONSUMER must receive what he thinks
he purchases and must be willing to
pay fair price for good product
II is absolutely clear that before the
problems of rural credit and of mar
ketinG the individual farmer, acting
alone, is helpless. Nothing less than
concerted action will suffice. Co
operation is absolutely essential. The
same business sense and the same or
ganizing genius which have placed
this nation in the front rank in in
dustry must be invoked for agricul-
ture.
II am not advocating an organiza-
tion which will attempt to establish n
closed market and to fix prices. | am
advocating simply an economic ar
rangement which will facilitate pro
duction and enable the producer to
find the readiest and best market for
his product and the consumer to re-
ceive his supplies at the lowest cost
1t goes without saying that the mem
bers OF the cooperative society must
be those who are bona fide producers
and that every approach of the ex
plolter must be aggressively repelled
The object must be specifically econo
mic and not remotely political"

suit will be the disappearance of the

statistics to show that the Negro has

chance for education and independent

of the Progressive Farmer that when
the greater part of the acreage OF a
section is owned by one race the
voters may say that no land within
this section shall be sold to a member
OF another race. provided the vote is

their love of home and their natural
cheerfulness. In closing she urged
that the checking of the activity OF
the race meant danger to the nation.
