should come down. But the main point
Is that the decline has not gone be-
yond the proper limits Of a reaction

Look for Moderate Profits.
Speculative Wall street may pro.
fess to be disturbed because its hastv
con3ectures of a January trade revival
have not been borne out. but there is
no reason to infer from the action Of
this weeks markets any change in
opinion Of the more substantial sort
with regard to the business outlook

return Of prosperity In the old-time
sense. The most that is looked FOR
Is q period of moderate profits with
a probable gradual increase in the
trade volume as the year goes on.
MOST thinking persons will agree with
the president Of the National City
Bank. who predicted that 1929 would
be q year Of consultations, inspired
by tho necessity Of getting costs
down to meet the lowered price level
and to provide against increasingly
sharp competition.

would not be surprising II such ac-

easy condition in the money market is
helping the distribution Of new bond
issues, 1t is not the, occasion that II
has been IN other years for q "Janu-

The reason Is that whatever interesf

by Its concern with the course of

In the other markets 1t can scarcely
be said that the weeks Occurrences

changes are awaiting the next move
in the process of attempting to solve
Europes economic problems. and are
hoping for some results from the

further revealed in the promptness
with which prices recovered from

to alternate day by day between hope

DO FARMERS THINK FOR THEM
SELVESR

Do farmers Think?-Well as a boy
l thot they did q little but as l grew
older and learned the ward or district
politician that did the thinking for
them. / began to doubt after becom-
ing a voter and associating more with
them, / realized that very few of them
do any thinking in a political way or
you might say in a realization form.
I don't think it matters sc much
whether they think in a political VS.
or a realization way, they both ac-
complish the same results. What /
mean by realization form of think ing
at time of producing on the farm has
that farmer been thinking what he
should have for his labors in produc-
ton or has he left all that to the other
fellow. In a measure all has been look
ed after in a political way up till the
present time you might say. Now that
we are merging some on the coopera-
tive plan / would like to know, if it
was possible to know, how any farm
ers are think ing and acting upon
their thots, or how many r reading
prepared articles and letting George
do the Worthwhile they just contin-
ued to produce.
1t is true that the farmer has been
called the Rube and I think the name
is correctly placed because he is a
rube always was and always will be
till he begins to think and begins to
use his pencil in making figures and
keeps tab on his expense account and
, strikes a balance in his books n C and
awhile. Well / guarantee that If he
will keep books that he will do some
thinking-and when Mr.. Farmer begins
to think then he will become very
much interested in who is going to re-
present him in every way-be it poll
tics, cooperation or what ever form of
action it might be.
About the only teaching the farmer
has received has been in production
more production and how to in
crease that probationary few of
our so-called farmer papers have Of
fered any other hints only more pro-
duction.
1t has become an old adage that the
man that sits in his office who is sup
posed to handle the farmers products
(altho never touches it, makes more
money for only a few hours or few
minutes work than the farmer makes
in all the one, two or three years it
takes to produce it, and another thing,
the middleman or handler knows that
he is going to make a profit-does the
farmer know that he is going to make
a profit? The worst part of 1t to
think about tho, while this farmer ia
working in such a hazard he is fool
enough to guarantee all these different
middle men or handlers a profit by
buying this same article back and pay
ing all these profits. The Farmer is
the only capitalist who produces with
out a knowledge of adding his profit
$25, then turn around and sell it for
$3.50 same as the merchant and all
other lines of business are allowed to
do-No he must go on and produce

gress than ever before and they rightly
sense that the Bloc has been the means
to the end.
The Bloc came into existence early
last year when a number of Republi-
can and Democratic senators and con-
gressmen dependent on rural votes,
had 1t pointed out to them that by
banding together on measures aimed to
help. agriculture they could swing the
balance of power.

All members of the Senate Bloc. as
shown here are from the Western and
Southern States. Most of the Western
senators are Republican and those
from the South Democrats.
Just what is this Agricultural Bloc

pending upon agricultural pursuits
realize that they r at last getting

and if he happens to be lucky and gets
his products up at the right time ne
gets a profit, but he cannot figrue at
any particular time of the year to
chance the lucky date for certainty
hence Mr.. Farmer must live in hopes
and a chance of being lucky-he can
not sell at time of production or can
he hold for future market, SO he Ss
nc recourse but chance to luck.
We find other families on this earth
learned ages ago that by cooperation
only could they SURVEYOR instance
take the bee, the ant, and knat and etc.
Most any Of them alone can be easily
handled, but when they are working to-
