to see he was succeeding. And he in
return hands out the following gross
untruth: "Join with the Star and
other like publications in the tearing
down of every vestige of advancement
in agricultural development"
In one place Mr.. Shearer says:
"Now since it (the marketing bureau)
has proved its usefulness" And right
on a little further he says: During
the last II to IS months, the farmers
in a number of instances, have grum-
bled at not being able to get efficient
service thru the bureau"
In the first place he argued that the
bureau was all right, so as to try to
justify its continuance. In the sec
ond he said it had given poor service,
as an excuse to obtain an appropria-
ton.
No use to ask which shell the pea
is under. 1t is under both.
Mr.. Shearer tells Us how the farm
ers of thirty-two states have "insti-
gated" such institutions. He hasn't
told how the farmers, truckers, fruit
growers, stockmen, etc, of the great
majority of the states have formed
district, county and township asso,
Citations, at no expense to the state
and are successfully marketing theil
products at very little expense tt
themselves.
What ais Mr.. Shearer, anyhow?
Is it possible that he wants a littl,
office?
Would he take Mr.. Rhodes job i
he could?
Well say he would.
He'd jump at it like a trout at
nice, long worm.
There are other offices, too.
| If he could get into one of them b,

he was The farmers would think h
was too, but in a little while the
would think they were not.
Mr.. Shearer makes many state
ments. You had better hold copy o
some of them. In one place he says
"Here is what he (the governor) say:
The state marketing bureau is an es
sential institution, and the preser
2 Legislature must stand by it an
support it without stint or hir
drance.'"
