vitality necessary to the farmer and
recognize by him as such, by
speeding up along with him, that
the work nov done by three men
may be done il possible by two,
and the burden Of transportation
and distribution be thereby light
cned If the factory executive
will speed up his plant that there
may be two days labor in the
supplies, machinery, or what not,
that the farmer buys, rather than
three days labor. the article will
cost the farmer that much less his
profits be increased, and his pro-
duction stimulated; more men stay
on the farm, more men go to the
farm.
Business men must look to the
operation of their establishments,
no matter in what line they may
be engaged, and see that no useless
employee is retained to add to the
cost of distributing that the farmer
now produces. Unless employees
must be released from non-pro-
ductive work and add to the sum
total that may be distributed
among all.
Let us enjoy in America as
highly developed a system of dis
tribuation-and in this | include
all professions, doctors, lawyers,
teachers, as we'll as retailers, trans
portation, etc. --as we now have,
but let us cut out the useless
member, The surplus one here and
there, and give him an opportunity
to become producer upon the
farm, or in the factory. Let US
have six-tenths of our people in
production and four-tenths in
distribution, that there may be
six-tenths of what man can pro-
duce each day for each of US.
To do this conditions in production

The farmer asks that the labor

turned out by their hands, thereby
