into the room. 1t was the unmistakable
odor of mince pies. Craning his neck,
he beheld several succulent brown things
on the ledge of the window directly

mentally the while he registered a vow
to include this particular tidbit in his

confined in the past to production In
order that we might feed the world.
We have paid little or no attention 70
the market phase OF the business en-
lterpfise. We have been neglible IN
studying our business to make eni-
cient managers. However, we are
facing a new era in which the farmer
recognizes that he has a legitimate
business, that he is business man
as we'll as laborer, and that ne Is
entitled to just returns.
The laboring man OF the country
can gain sympathy on the strength
and merit Of the living wage and ne
has by his national organization been
able to create power that IS form'd-
able. Through his efforts in reducing
the cost OF living the farmer OF today
.is losing d dollar for every fifty cents
that the consumer gains. In othd
words one part Of society is being
made to pay the penalty OF another
element in society while the burden
should be born by all. Realizing that
ths farmer is the buffer between or
eanized capital and that he has ral-
lied to the call for national organi-
zation and to this end the farm bu-
reaus OF the United States have begun
campaign which promises to place
the farmer before the nation as an
equal in considering great national
problems. To meet this need the
farmers OF Illinois have concluded
their organization program which
shows that they had secured over
10O, 900 members and have raised
$500, 900 for the state organization
| Other states have followed this policy
and ON November 18th there Will bs
concluded at Chicago a national or
ganixation Of farm bureaus.
That every farmer In Iowa and Del
aware county should affiliate them
selves with this national organization
needs no comment. Watch the news

duced production. Tha ultimate re-
suit Of reducing hours and produce
tion Is to increase the cost Of living.
The farmer has continued to pro.
duce food SO that the nation might
live He has done thia without due
regard to the number of hours which
1t required. TO him itnia the needs Of
the people first, to fnish. the job is the
second demand, and 70 receive COM

What would happen II the farmer
should strike? Should demand six
hours working day, Ave days out Of
q week, and an increasesof SO per cent
In pay! He could do It we'll and suffer
the least OF any citizen Of our nation,
Yet he will not, He recognizes that
we must give and take. That we all
have place In this world and that
We hate to live together. The farmer
today represents the bulwark OF
-Americanism, that stands the waves
of Bolshevism and other "isms" that
are imperiling our nation. He has q
duty to perform 1t this time, to pro-
tect his home and the institutions
which he has provided. To accom-
piish this he must organize to the last

FarM Business Needs Organization.
Very few farmdrs In Delaware
county realize the size Of the farming
business in their county A few facts
and figures at this Tina will help M
to understand why thu farmers need
to organize.
There are 2O97 farmsFs In Delaware

county with total acreage OF 1888, So.
Assuming q fair value on this land at
total valuation Of $67.72s. 800, or an
average OF $32.39S for each farm. In
other words the farmers OF Delaware
county have made an initial invest
ment OF $32.39S in their business.
The average farm has approximately
$4,000, Invested IN working capital
which consists Of his working horses,
milking cows, breeding cattle. ETC.,
along with his machinery and small
tools, which gives a total working
capital invested in Delaware county.
approximately $s5.000,00o.
From the 1917 statistics We esti-
mate that the production Of this farm
business is valued at nearly $4,000
900. The question is, has this busi-
ness been paying revenue that IL
commensurate for an enterprise Of
this standing. Business Of such mag
itude requires efficient management
to ret returns on the investment.
Sometime ago It will be recalled,
that commission men at Omaha ap-
peared on the witness stand and
stated that It was necessary that their
business give returns OF 40 per cent
gross profits. We do not question the
business mans right to demand 40
per cent gross profit as It may be nee
essary. However, we wonder how
