The policy of this Nation has
been to lead the world industrially
by compelling the farmers to feed
town and city people at a very low
cost. The plan has been to domi-
nate the world industrially by
forcing the farmer to wear out his
soil, toll for long hours. work his
wife and children and live on a
very low plane. This policy has
been carried out for years. but the
farmers are getting tired of it.
Thousands of farmers are now join
ing the farm bureau in every section
of the state. as we'll as everywhere
in the Union. and they will in the
very near future demand the same
treatment given te other members
of society. Progressive Farmer.
