PLAN OF GETTING TOGETHER
FARMER Must Push Aside Green-eyed
Monster Of Jealousy-ee imper-

Did you ever stop to think OF what
a public-spirited man has to contend
with in building up a community? Gen.
tally he meets with sneers and gibes.
his purpose is questioned. Interior mo-
tives are attributed to him. Usually
these men are like Joseph, drsamers
of Dreams" looking down the vista of
the future. foreseeing the grandeur
of the things to be. They must be
made of stern stuff and their only re-
ward is such as is common to all. This
country needs such men today. They
are to be found among us. so let us
hunt them out and develop them. The
banker, the merchant and big business
man find little difficulty in lighting
their battles collectively. These men
may be bitter personal enemies. bpt
you find them fighting shoulder to
shoulder when their business interests
are involved even in a small measure.
The farmer must do the same. Push
aside the green-eyed monster. Jeal.

Do not name Neighbor Jones as one

not always the fellow who kisses the
babies and slaps you most heartily
on the back that is best suited for the
work you desire done. We want to
make of this country what its God
given qualities entitle it to be-a

the bringing about of that end. A

the Farmers Improvement Associa-

the farmers. We are political, but
nonpartisan, we take no blood-curdling
oaths. we bind ourselves to nothing
but the upbuilding of the community.

There are many ways in which such

| Our national and state governments
spend millions OF dollars annually in
aiding the farmers. How much OF
these vast sums benefit us? There
are many problems confronting us,
Shall we not act together in solving
them? We should have local commit

through which communication may be

head of which may be easily reached
Lei be known that we are standing
behind our committee and we will be
amazed to see how much more we are
respe cted acting collectively rather
than individually. Our achievements
will depend in large measure on the
men we select as leaders, but oul
judgment of men would have to be
very poor indeed in order that our eff
forts prove wholly barren.

BUSINESS SUCCESS OF CROP
Il Must Be Disposed of as Efficiently
as Grown-Teamwork Always
Pays Best Prices.

It is not enough to grow good crop,
or even to grow good crop at low
cost. To make big crop a business
success, it must be disposed of as
efficiently as it is grown-must be so
graded and packed as to meet market
standards and so marketed as to bring
the farmer the highest current price.
The farmer who is too suspicious to
get together with his neighbors in or
der to do comparatively what no one
can do alone is sure to pay dearly
