Farm Problems

MADISON. wis.. Jan. 1s-only CO.
operative effort can solve many of the
most important problems that confront
the. American farmer in the opinion OF
David #. Houston secretary OF egricuI-
ture, who addressed gathering of farm
ers and students in the college OF asrii
culture to-day
Before the problems OF rural credit
and Of marketing. the individual farmer
acting alone is helpless" said Secretary
Houston. Nothing less than concerted
action will suffice.
Tam not advocating an organization
that shall attempt TO establish closed
market and TO fix prices / do advocate
an economic arrangement which will
facilitate production and enable the pro-
Queer to find the latest and best market
for his products and the consumer TO
receive his supplies nt the lowest cost.
1T goes without saying that the members
OF the cooperative society must be those
