laws and defend our business from
hostile legislation.
eve expect also to present the
farmers viewpoint to those entrust-
ed with the administration of the
laws. We decided last Spring that we
wanted the next President to know
ssosnsthing about farming. To this end
we asked and secured a favorable
plank in the platform of each of the
great political parties. So successful
were we in giving Mr.. Harding and
Mr.. Cox lessons in farming that each
delivered an agricultural address at
the Minnesota State Fair. These adj
dresses would have been a credit to
the President of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
awe hope to assist the president
elect in securing a secretary OF agrl-
culture who knows something about
farming Next March when the pres
fdent sits down with his cabinet to
plan for the welfare of one hundred
and five million of people, we hope he
may have as a counsellor one who
knows something of the problems that
concern thirty-five million Of people
7Hho get their living from the soil.
ga successful campaign Of educa-
lion, favorable laws, and just admin
1stration Of the laws, while they are
very important, cannot alone make our
business profitable The government
cannot make us all rich. 1t can simply
make the conditions favorable, de-
fend US from injustice and give us a
square deal. Equal opportunities to
all and special privileges to none is
all we ask. We must still by individual
effort and cooperation work out our
own salvation. Hence, our campaign
of education and our legislature pro-
gram, although vitality essential, are
simply preparatory to our real pro-
gram.
"Our chief work is to build better
marketing system through which we
can get larger share Of the price
paid by the consumer for our profit. |
James Wilson, former secretary of
agriculture, after careful investiga-
ton, stated that out of the dollar
paid by the consumer for our product |
the farmer received, on an average,
2hirty-eight cents and somebody else |
the sixty-two cents. We want larger |
share.
"Our marketing plan is wrong We
have been accustomed to dump al |
most the entire annual product of our |
farms on the market within few
months they are harvested. This of
course, is long before they are need
ed by the consumer. We have thus
invited into this business a group of
spectators who buy these products

of the farmer and hold them until
they are wanted by the consumer.
Having the products of our farms In
their possession for several months,
they have chance, which they are
not slow to use, to manipulate prices
and reap marvellous profits.
Eve expect to build cooperative
selling machine, owned and directed
| by the farmers, with which we can
hold our products until they are want
! ed by the consumer. This will give
the law of supply and demand better
chance to operate. We believe it will
be beneficial both to the producer and
| to the consumer. We are not organ
ling farmers strike by which to
exact exhorbitant prices. To attempt
to do this would be to invite disaster.
We are in the farming business for
life and are interested in permanent
success. We are much more likely to
deal Justice with the public than a
group of spectators who are looking
for present gain with little regard for
the future.
''About two months ago the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation held a
remarkable marketing conference In
Chicago. 1t contained representatives
from every important cooperative
organization in America. As result
Of this conference, THE COMMITTEE
OF SEVENTEEN were appointed,
composed Of the most capable men
that could be found. They are giving
this problem careful study We believe
that they will develop profitable
marketing plan. The report Of this
committee is awaited with great in
terest.
''The Farm Bureau is undertaking
a great work, not only for the farmer,
but also for the Nation. 1t intends to
secure for the farmer a square deal,
and a financial return sufficiently
large that he can maintain the fertility
of his land. Unless he can do this,
it will bring disaster upon the Nation.
Upon the farmers of America rests
a great possibility. To them is
the fertile land of his ma
ton, than which there are none bet
ter. 1t is their privilege and their
duty from the products of these
farms to feed and clothe the nation,
not as soil robbers but as real farm
ers, transmitting this heritage to the
next generation more fertile than
when they received it. 1t is their duty
to make these farms the best place /
on earth to raise children, that their |
sons may grow up to be manly men,
and their daughters womanly women,
intelligent and actualed
by the highest moral and spiritual
ideals.
"These farms snoulu ever remain
the place of labor, patient, persistent,
cheerful, successful la
Dor. If successful, it will be pleasant |
for there is no happiness greater than
The joy of achievement, the thrill of
victory. These farms must not be the
place of unceasing grinding drudgery.
"Our farm life should be made so
satisfying that our sons and daugh-
tiers can resist the lure of the city |
and look forward with pleasure to
these farms as their future homes.
"To accomplish these results many
;hings are necessary but as a founda-
ton on which to build, we must make
farming profitable.

The Joys of Walking.

Lucky is the man who has a good
pair of legs. He is a rich man, for
the world is his.
Walking is the best and cheapest
exercise for all ages. If it is INDUCED
in sufficiently, pills may be thrown
away and forgotten. Doctors today
say first of all, walk, walk, walk
and doctors know.
Down East there is a famous SAM
tarium for the rebuilding OF body-tir-
ed and brain-tired men. Patients go
there nervous, irritable, tagged out
in a month they come out rebuilt and
ready for another long pull at life.
The underlying principle of the treat
ment is exercise, but principally
walking. The patients are driven out
into the country five or ten miles, I'M
loaded and told to walk back. Com
mon sense is used, but in most cases
a good stiff daily jaunt is insisted on.
Men who have never walked much get
to love walking and when they 90
home they have new outlook on life.
The joys Of walking, whether in the
city or the country, never grow stale.
When you feel dopey or l0gy get out
out Of sorts, get out and walk. Set
and walk. When you are blue and
out for a fixed goal if you like, or just
stroll anywhithcr you please, it makes
no difference, but get out under Gods
sky and walk That's the main thing
There's plenty of fun in walking in
the city. The shop windows, the
crowded streets, the changing scenes
Of animation, are all mighty interest
ing and human.
By daylight or starlight walking is
equally good The day has its at
fractions, the night has its charms.
Those who miss walking are miss
ing q great experience physically and
mentally. The doctors know and they
say-walk! Any time, any weather.
