Keeping the people on the land is a great ma

We NEED mot fear that such organizations can
ever become predatory. In the first place II is
impossible to organize all the farmers. In the
next, foreign competition always prevents cxtor
ton in farm products. II is very possible that by
eliminating a lot of useless middlemen-some
middlemcn are very useful-the people OF the
cities may benefit in lower aud steadier prices,
and a better supply.
