paper accounts of the partisan
chickering's within the political par
ties, the striving for political ad-
vantage while the bigger problems
that mean so much to the entire
citizenship of the country are ig-
nored. We have good men in our
legislative bodies, representing
both political organizations, but
they are handicapped by the fights
being made for political advantage.
The agricultural classes can do
much to improve their condition
by giving their attention first to
the problems directly affecting
them. Eliminate petty political
chickering's and develop community
organization. Blend those organ

HOME TOWN PAPER WEEK

Tons of good white paper have
been used in recording the woes,
the heartaches, the narrow escapes,
the dangers, the low-downnesssthe
greatness, the narrowness, the self
ishness, the Importance, the unim-
portance of the country editor.
But the following essay written by
a school boy seems to picture the
lot of the poor fellow better than
anything we have ever seen. The
utter hopelessness of his situation
in life and his need for help is so
forcefully shown that no one who
reads can but help but be moved
shall we say to tears, The boys
essay reads:
"a doctor can use a word yard
long without anyone knowing what
it means but if the editor uses one
he has to spell it. If the doctor
goes to see another mans wife he
charges for the visit; but If the ed
itor goes he gets a charge of buck
shot. When the doctor gets drunk
its case of being overcome by
heat and il he dies it's from heart
trouble; when an editor gets drunk
it's case of too much booze and
If he dies its the Jim jams. If an
an editor makes a mistake folks say
he ought to be hung; but if doc.
tor makes a mistake he buries it
aud people dassent say nothing be-
cause doctors can read and write
Latin. When the editor makes
mistake there is lawsuits and big
fuss; but if the doctor makes one
there is funeral, cut flowers aud
perfect silence. Any college can
make doctor; an editor has to be
born.'
The above is pretty good joke
but the main object of this story is
to remind the reader that Novem-
Der 7-12 is "Subscribe for your

COOPERATION AMONG
THE FARM ERS
BY T.F. PECK
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

A great deal has been said and
written about cooperation among
farmers, but it does not appear
that the real headway has not been
made that should have been The
future prosperity of the farmer de-
pends on the right solution of the
marketing problem. The competi.
tion the farmer has to meet can not
be met by him individually. 1t
must be done collectiyely-in co.
operation with other producers.
Instead of duplication of effort,
we must adopt one plan, stick to il
and develope it in every detail.
The community units blended into
q County Bureau of Agriculture
can be equally as practical.
The membership of each COM
munity unit should be devided into
committees according to the fitness
or qualifications of the individual
members. The County Bureaus
com mittees should be made up
from the members of the commit.
tees of the community units doing
similar work, and so on through
the organization of the committees
of the State Bureau. Then there
would be thorough understanding
aud concert of action throngout the
the State III all the activities affect
ing agricultural interests.
Our National and State govern
ments are intended to be govern
ments of the people, for the people
and by the people, through their
chosen representatives. Theorgan-
ization for the agricultural classes
should be along the line to secure
cohesion, concert of action and to
avoid duplication of work. Such
successful coordination will result
in "a contented, progressive, pros
porous citizenship among the ag-
ricultural classes. and there will
naturally follow conditions that
will insure prosperity and progress
in every other line of activity has
found it necessary to do just what
it is proposed the agricultural clas-
ses should do in the way of cooper
alton.
The manufactures who would
neglect to make provision for the
distribution of his product, simply
dumping it on the market, would
fail. No other industry but farm
ing would have survived with no
more attention to the vitality nee
essary matter of marketing its pro-
ducts than has been given in the
past.
Farmers have not given the at
tention they should have given to
the Development of school, church
aud social conditions in the rural
districts. When their children
were ready for those advantages,
they were either sent to boarding
schools in town or the family mov-
ed to town. And when the child
rem had finished their education
they were by that time weaned
from the country and few ever re-
turned to stay.
If one will take the trouble to
study the census figures it will be
found that our agricultural classes
are rapidly leaving the farms and
our nonproducers of farm products
are increasing i'll number. What
will be increased cost of the neces-
tiles of life. The equitable distri-
button of our population is a ques-
ton of vital Importance. We can
put in practice policies that will
make agriculture as vocation at
tractlve and attract to this industry
