eve have been struggling to make
the world safe for democracy. We must
now set about making democracy,
said Milo D. Campbell, president of the
National Mill Producers association,
addressing farmers conference op-
ened her this morning under the aus
pices of the national board Of farm
organizations.
Mr.. Campbell placed emphasis upon
the need for closer corporation, not
only between the various farm organ
izations, but between the farmer and
the city dweller. He declared all made
of the same clay; all brothers by her
itage, all working toward the same
end, and he urged that petty difference
es be dropped and that everyone get
together in harmonious effort to
achieve the bigger things.
That, he declared, was the aim of
the national board of farm organiza-
tions. There are many things upon
which all farmers stand agreed; many
things which all farmers are striving
for. This applies, he said, to the COT
ton-grower of the south, the corn
grower of the middle west, the stock
man and the wheat grower of the
northwest; the fruit-raisers of the Pa
cific coast land the milk producers of
the whole country. In the national
board of farm organizations, stated
Mr.. Campbell, an effort is being made
to harmonize all of these interests and
to bring them together in a common
cause.
Mr. Campbell's general subject was
the Sherman antitrust law. He told of
the great combinations which were be-
ing formed to boost prices when the
farmers, 35 years ago, launched their
demand for laws which would curb or
break up these monopolies. He de-
scribed the birth of the Sherman anti
trust law, and told what has been ac-
complished under it. He criticised the
acts, weaknesses, and recommended
changes which he believed the farmers
the nation over would unite with the
city dwellers in demanding. ..
Good Crowd Out.
The attendance at the afternoon ses
sion was large and many league
farmers were present in spite OF
a column attack on the nation
al board Of farm organizations car
ried by the COurier-News recently.
This attack was inspired by the Farm
ers' national council of Washington,
upon whose directorate is President
Tittemore of the American Society of
Equity. The council seeks to show
that the national board of farm organ
izations, which is made up Of the
Farmers union, the Grange and a doz-
en- or more other national farm asso-
Citations of equal prominence, is work.
ing in the interests of "big business"
Stories similar to the one published by
the Courier-News were sent to news
papers in every state in which the ma
tional board of farm organizations had
called conferences, and in most in
stances the attack was ignored or re-
ferred to the local farm organization
under whose auspices the conferences
were to be conducted. The Courier
News, which gave the story much
prominence, was the only newspaper
in North Dakota which carried it.
