THE most unwelcome thing that

II. d: Harding,-I believe that these
farmer organizations which are spring
ing up so rapidly in the west will ac-
complish great deal of good within
the next few years. Some city peo-
pie have sort of idea that these or
ganizations are for the purpose of
boosting prices of farm products to
the ultimate consumer. On the con-
trary our object is to draw producer
and consumer closer together with
mutual benefit to each other, Every
one who considers the matter at any
length will acknowledge that too
many middlemen are living off the
farmer and the consumer.
