OF THE RIGHT SORT.

A new organization, the American Associa-
ton for Agricultural Legislation, has come into
being, possibly as result of the Farmers Non
partisan League, of which considerable unfavor-
able criticism has been voiced. Some of the
sponsors of the new body are men to encoura ge
belief in its motives and efficiency. DR.. Butter
field, of Massachusetts Agricultural college;
Richard 4. Ely and John r. Commons, of Wis
consin university; Professor Liberty a. Bailey,
of Cornell university; Elwood Mead, of the
University of California, and Professor W. J.
Spilman, of the government agricultural bu-
reau, are such men. They are none of them
flghty theorists or demagogues; they are
trusted experts on agricultural progress and
needs. The association declares that it stands
50 to secure fair prices for both producer and
consumer of farm products, while at the same
time maintaining the needed production If
this association can attract to it sufficient
membership and cooperation among the intelli-
gent farmers of the nation, it may easily become
a helpful adjunct to farm legislation prepara-
ton.
