ORGANIZATION MEANS SALVATION FOR
 THE FARMER

(Writtet Specially For The Bulletin.)
 After quoting from Secretary Hous- toms annual report the same para graphs which I quoted, last week, reia- tive to the high prices paid by con sumers for farm products being "a marketing problem and calling for better organization of farmers and improved methods of marketing" The OurIook-Dr. &bbott's and Col. Roose- veits agazine.-comments thus:
 With some noteworthy exceptions, the metropolitan press, which delights to di1ate upon the prosperity and lux urious existence of all farmers, and which apparently possesses a. knowl- edge of rural affairs gained exclusive lY from the observations of Arcadian operas, has not taken kindly to this pronouncement of the Department of Agriculture. Some day our city dwellers will realize how much they are made to suffer from the economic disadvantages under which our agri cultural population is made to labor.
 Our farmers form the last class of our citizens to take it's place in the organized world of modern industry. 1t will be to the advantage of all when they have finally achieved the position and recognition which they have so long deserved"
 That comment tickIed me. In the first place, it's rather neat sarcasm on the metropolitan press" meaning thereby the daily papers. of New York city. The suggestion that they "ap- paFently" gain their sole idea of coun- try affairs from watching "Arcadian operas wherein dainty darlingsi Of the stage, in Watteau hats and bewiteh- ing boots gambol over green baize meadows in the shade of pastboard trees, with ribbon decked Iakes or sickles of seventeenth century pattern, Is one that may explain a whole lot of the stuff they print about rural mat eers.
 For it is hardly possible to state with too great emphasis or too broad sweep or too contemptuous diction. the fact that the average daily New York Ciy newspaper is as wrong headed in its usual Urea tment of farming con dictions as it is possible for a conabin- ation of pitiful ignorance and bump tious self conceit to make anyone Sometimes the New York City news- papers seem to be edited from the back of Wall street: sometimes from the counters of department stores: sometimes from the stock exchange: and sometimes from Avenue A.

There are several small industries in New London, small in comparison with the Hopson and Chapin industry of a few years ago, that ought to re- ceive consideration of the active com mittees of the active business mems association or some of them may be slipping away to locations where they will receive at least moral support. There is a promising industry among those located on the Fort Neck that is not making much of a stir but which gives employment to about thirty skilled workmen and those prospects of growth are encouraging. So much so that the concern has been invited to locate in Bridgeport, and South Birmingham, Mass, and, if reports be true the project is re- ceiV1ng serious consideration. In fact it is unoffieially announced that the move is to be made. Here's a chance for the Business Mems association to get busy and investigate, and en- deayor to save this industry to New London.
 It is the Interstate Machine com pany formerly the Sterling Machine com pany which came to New London from Norwich. Among the articles manufactured are sirens for autemo- bile fire apparatus and other pur- poses and there is difficulty in supply ing the demand. Here is a case where the writer did not have the opportun- Lity to verify the report and this hear say information is given without the knowledge of the interested company, still the New London Business Mems association and the whole people of New London should know of any con- templated removal of any industry, to ascertain the reason why, and to make special effort to retain all that are here located, to add thereto and not permit dimunition.

Some time ago it was reported in the public press that committee of
 the New London Business Mems asso-
 cIation had attempted to solve the
 lack of tenements problem and that
 plans were in the works that would result in the construction of dwelling
 houses adequate to the demand. This will probably be. accomplished in due
 time, for whatever that hustling asso-
 citation undertakes is usually carried
 to successful issue But, in the
 meantime there are people who are
 willing to pay from $30 to s35 rents
 who cannot be accommodated. This
 condition retardS progress as it is
 impossible for some of the manufac-
 turing plants to increase their work
 ing forces as the additional workmen
 and their families cannot be housed. This matter is quite a, problem and it is encouraging to know that the bus mess mems association have the solu- ton and it can be applied none too soon.
 But what of the family that is com posed in part of small children? At the very last meeting of the associa-
 tion there came report that a fore
 man in one of the shops, who was willing to pay big rental could not
 get a tenement suitable for his use, as he found that children were barred in New London from modernfy equip
 ped houses. Now what do you think of that? There is an instance in the city, at least one where the owner ] of several houses happened to be one fof a very large family of children and has quite a number of children himself and to his mind no house is too good for his children. Yet this same individual will not rent any of bis houses to any family wherein there are any small children. Per haps there are just a few other chil- | dren as we'll behaved as are the chil- dren of tkis particular house-owner and perhaps not quite as destructive. {! Property owners seem to forget that
 all were children once and that they

Worse yet, when they do, occasion- y, oondescend to take any part in the discussion of farm problems, their ig- norance of the fundamental and un- deriving facts would usually be pitia- ble if the coeky assurance of conceit which marks their Iueubrations were not so irritating.

Whats the explanation? We farm CTS are not, as a rule, lazy. We have to work hard to keep out of the poor house. We are not, as a rule, stupid. Most of us are as keen at a bargain as the average We are net as rule, any more wasteful than workmen in other callings. We are, as rule, willing to accept sae theory of or ganization as a good one. And, we know, the most of us what is the immediate and present trouble with farming.
 It is simply that we can't unor- ganize,, as we are, force the organized middlemen to pay us fair price for .our goods.
 Then why don't we organize and take the power which our overwhelming numbers would give us the instant we did so?

of my harping on this string: I'm not actually enjoying the thing my self I don't believe that John the Baptist really relfshed being a voice in the wilderness, on a diet of grass hoppers and wild honeyl But it's an old saying and worthy of some ac- sceptance that the continual dropping of water weareth away stones. There's some virtue in persistence and now and then it's worth while to keep ding ing away at the same boulder. II can't make a hole, may at least be able to make a dent which some other and more skilful handler will open in to a crack with some future blow.
 Pve already mentioned that Long Island granger plan by which the grangers there are going to bunch their selling activities in the New York market. This last week came the news of an organization just effected among lot of New Jersey truck gardeners for similar purpose. They've got tired of getting thirty-hv cents for the ber- ries and vegetables which city con- sumers paid a dollar for. and are go- ing to arrange for direct delivery to the consumers, by which they will get at least fifty per cent. more than here tofore and the consumers will save an- other big per cent over what they've hitherto paid.
 
 Oh, things move sIowIy,-but they're beginning to move, alice sameel And that's the great thing, after all-to make a start. Who was it that said the beginning was half the task? There's a time, every spring. when the buds on the trees seem to hang fire. They're there, that we know, but they don't seem to grow any. One chill day follows another and frosty night comes after frosty night. Here and there a tiny leaf1et shows itself. one on willow, one on a red elm, one or two on an early apple tree. But the vast forests still stand bare twigged and seemingly hopeless till the right day dawns and the right sun rises. Then the transformation is like that of a lightning change" artist. The woods fairly leap into leafage, and the old mountain which was just a hetchel of spiky prongs and bare twigs becomes in a single day. a great garden of foliage, and a tremendous output of life.

NEW LONDON INDUSTRIAL GROWTH
Much Can Be Done By Fostering Concerns Which Are AL ready Located Here-Stll Lack of Tenements- Signs Roofs.

Unsuccessful effort was made to dlSeredit what was said in, this cor respondenee last Saturday relative to the closing of the big Hopson and Chapin plant but the continuation of business by the company in the installa- ton of heating systems, the equipment being manufactured elsewhere where speciality is made of that grade of work. The president of the company made public statement in verlfcation of what was stated in the Bulletin. Even going so far as to practically concede that with an abundance of capital the big plant could have been kept in operation. So, after all, it was not far-fetched to say that if the New London Business Mems associa- tion had given as zealous attention to this established industry as is some times given others to locate here the results might D. ove equally as satis- factory and, perhaps more so. The association has done incalculabIe good in advancing the best interests of the city but it is sometimes well to foster the industries we have before encour- aging others that we know not of.

zine like The OUTLOOK SnOulO- De dUle to see a glimpse of this and willing, even in the way of good natured satire to comment on it.
 The farmers of the country outnurn- Der any other class of men engaged in useful productive occupation. There are a good many millions engaged in mercantile business, and several mil lions in transportation work, and larger numbers in mining, numbering, etc. But those occupied with farming are larger number than those in any one of these other vacations. Not only are they more numerous than any other class of usefully employed work men. but their laborS are more vitally fundamental than those of any other. 1t is only by grace of what the farm CTS produce that the merchant, the miner, the railroad man, and all the rest can ever live, to say nothing of do- ing business. Any man with an ounce of brains in his head ought to be able to see that the welfare and prosperity of the farming class is of more inn port to the general welfare and pros perity than that of any other.
 Yet the average New York City news paper, while arrogating to itself a claim for newspaper leadership in the country, gives, on an average, vastly more space to the affairs of twenty thousand East Side cloak makers, or a, hundred thousand coal miners ,or a perhaps equal number of railroad em- ployees than to the radical, vital, paramount problems of the farms and their dozen million occupants.
