mighty fine thing when the farmers Of the United States
get together and work for their interests and to prevent

win be the only kind Of profitable farming in the United
States n the future with the number Of producers grow
ing smaller and With TIE population increasing daily.
The farmers must not, however, make the very grave
mistake which the laboTing made Of trying to use
their organization when IL becomes strong and nationwide,
TO selfish ends and to the puhcs injury. The farmers
have vel been called the backbone Of the country. If
they to strike for few days would all be n a
bad way But nobody must imagine thst the fam
ers larger than the rest Of the country.
As a rule the who lives in the open and makes his
