TOO MUCH MIDDLE, MAN,

The curse Of the American farmer
is the rapidly increasing, expanding
and perpetuating middleman.
No matter what the farmer raises
or produces, or what price the ulti-
mate consumer pays, the middleman
and his cohorts and satellites get the
bulk of it.
When apples were rotting on the
ground in many sections of the coun-
try last summer because the growers
could not get price sufficient to pay
for marketing them, the people of
the cities were paying nickel for
three little runts. If fair sized they
were two for nickel, and in many
cases five cents each.
Why can't the farmers of this
country band together in some kind
of an organization and do their own
marketing without the assistance Of
these grasping and devouring middle
men? Surely some method could be
devised whereby their crops could be
marketed jointly and in bulk and
thus save the tremendous shrinkage
that now goes into the pockets of a
horde Of useless go-betweens.
Orange growers in Florida have
such an organization and are getting
better prices for their fruit and with
less trouble.
In Chicago there are number Of
men who have purchased fruit and
truck land in Alabama. They have
formed an organization for. mutual
advantage and protection and one
man disposes of all of their products
direct to retailers, realizing good
prices on every commodity:
There are enough farmers in this
country to form a large and power
full organization. Agents could be
appointed in the large cities and
shipments could be made direct. The
services of numerous middlemen
would be dispensed with and the
increased profits would go into the
pockets of the farmers.
The coming year promises to be
one of great prosperity to the Amer
lean people.
Why give the bulk of the farmers
profit to a bunch of blood-sucking
leeches in the guise of middlemen?
