one OF marketing, Is lack of leader

ana with agricultural interests SO var

we all realize that farmers are by
heredity extremely i~ndividualistic.
They are also suspicious, and they
have some reason for being suspicious.
Time and again they have been work
ed to a FRAGILE by those in whom thew
placed their confidence. Moreover.
their education has been mainly of
the common schools, with no training
tor leadership or even schooling thai
mad n relation to their life work.
OF necessity they lack in leadership
and quite naturally have come to
depend upon men Of other vocations
TO manage their business for them
with he single exception of produce
tion-just as they entrust to other
the affairs Of government. And I NAV
safely add that this arrangement is
em1nently satisfactory to those who
undertake the distribution Of farm
products and the management Of gov
ornamental affairs for both state and
nation.
the same writer says further: The
problem Of marketing farm products
is a monumental one and it's complete
solution lies in the farmer owning or
controlling cold storage plants, ware
houses. and proper equipment for
holding his surplus until there is a
market demand. So long as the stor-
age facilities are in the hands of the
middlemen, there will be artificial
manipulation Of prices and the pro-
Queer n consumer will become Joint

In view Of these conditions and the

farming is practiced, the government
should give to farmers as exact in
formation when and where their prod
ucts are wanted as it gives for their
production. The government should
also effectually outlaw speculation in
the food Of the people.
II understand that a movement has
been initiated by the department of
agriculture for the purpose Of facili-
tating the marketing Of farm products,
at least such a movement has been
suggested. A series of this charac-
ter cannot be contaminated too soon
or upon too liberal a basis.
1.-THE problem of distribution cannot
be solved in a day or in a year, but
meanwhile agriculture is entitled TO
the best service the department. can
render in bringing the producer and
consumer so close together that the
intervention of numerous profit-tak-
ing middlemen shall not be permitted
to prey upon both. The anomalous
condition of carloads of fruits and
vegetables rotting for want of a mar
ket within a short haul Of people hun
CRY and willing to pay a fair price for
them, might also thus be avertcd to
the advantage Of producers and con-
sumers alike. Without this informa-
ton the rankest sort Of robbery can
be practiced with impunity.
"As for example: The following
from The Fargo Courier-News, Feb.
10, 1913: AN Oklahoma farmer sold
a carload Of melons for $52.40. The
railroad hauled them north for SIS and
the people in st. Paul who ate them
paid $500 for these same melons. The
fellow that furnished the land, the
seed, a summers work, assumed the
risk, hauled the heavy melons several
miles and placed them in the car, re-
ceived less than one-tenth of the
money.
The following from The New York
Press under the following caption:
See the price of cabbage swell after
it leaves the farmer
The head is grown by a small
farmer in Connecticut, who gets a
cent and a half for it. 1t first goes to
the commission merchant, who lives
on Riverside drive, pays $4,000 d
year for his apartment, keeps an auto
mobile and spends $1,000 a year.
Next the cabbage is sent to the
wholesaler, who lives on West End
avenue, in an $500 apartment, keeps
an automobile. and spends $4,000 Il
year.
Thence the cabbage goes to the
jobber, who lives in a $500 apartment
on upper Broadway, keeps an auto
mobile and spends $4,000 a year
From him the cabbage travels to
the retailer, who lives in a $500 apart
ment on a side street. has a corner
store for which he pays $25 a month
rent, keeps two delivery wagons at
a cost Of $40 a month and spends ST.
500 a year on his living.
FINALLY the cabbage gets to Mr..
Ultimate Consumer. who lives in a
$40-a-month tenement, rides in the
trolley a or subway. spends all he
can make or a little more to live. and
pays for that head of cabbage, 10
cents"

officers, should, upon retiring from Of
fee, return to the farm as naturally
and with as much dignity as they are
now accustomed to return to some CITY
office. The example set by Cincinnatus,
the Roman patriot, and by our own
Washington, of retiring joyfully to
their farms after having rendered
their respective countries INDUSTRIOUS

to the children OF this country as re-
markable exceptions to an almost uni

economic and political, they will be in
position to be reckoned with.
Being in full command Of their own
affairs and enjoying the fruits of their
labors, such burning questions as rural
credit and interest rates Will give them
but little COncern; for they Will regu-
late them to suit themselves. And with
far less drudgery, the farm and the
farm home can be supplied with every
modern improvement and thus be rs
attractive and even more comfortable
than the best OF the urban homes.
IT do not say these things boastfully
nor by way Of suggesting injustice or
hardship for any class of citizens: for
If unnecessary middlemen should be
stripped of their s~elf-appointed jobs,

the producers Of wealth, when once in

instead of having this service rendered
for them.
"God ordained the great institution
of agriculture when he set Adam to
work in the Garden of Eden. During
the centuries that nave followed, the
descendants of the first man have not
devised a single vocation that is more
dignifed or refined; for those who work
i~ntelligently with nature, work Coz
operatively with God Himself.
Permit me to conclude with the fol-
lowing stanzas written by S. e. Kiser.

There's something sort o thrillin' in

And it makes you want to holler when

We find we're still dependin' on the

In all the pomp and splendor OF an

And through all the awful darkness

In the halls where jewels glitter and
where shoutin' men debate;
In the palaces where rulers deal out

There is not a single person who'd be

We're a-buildin' mighty cities ara

Z. There is nothing about 1t to get foul.
and when 1t becomes soiled 1t can be
washed without injuring 1t In the least.
8. There are no metal springs In the
Appliance to torture one by cutting and
bruising the flesh.
Q. All of the material Of which tho
Appliances are made Is of the very best
that money can buy, making it a durable
and safe Appliance to wear.
