us organize, bind ourselves to-
gether into community associa-
tions for the storing and market
in of products.
We have wonderful examples of
what can be done in this line. The
California Fruit Growers Associa-
ton, today prosper beyond the
dreams of the average farmer, was
a few years ago on the verge of
poverty; many growers had given
up farms, others were about to do
so; then came organization, and
through this organization they
have mastered their market and
practically set Their own price, in
surfing for themselves a decent re-
turn on labor and investment. In
our own state, the Cheese Fedora
ton, still in its infancy, compris-
ing less than one-half of the
cheese factories of the state is
getting better returns for it's
members.
The attitude Of the present day
farmer holding himself apart from
others, reluctant to join in with
his neighbors in organization of
any kind is probably natural in
stinct growing out of farm life
in the arly days of this country.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1923-07-11

In those days the farmer was suf-
ficient unto himself He raised
everything he and his family need
ed. They spun their own clothes,
tanned hides for shoes, made their
own soap; in many instances the
only sugar they had came from
the sugar bush. From one year
to another it was not necessary
for him to go outside the confines
of his own clearing. This bred in
the farmer an instinct to keep by
himself. Today that instinct IS as
useless as the one which prompts
the dog, about to lay down upon
a bare floor, to turn around
half dozen times to make a bed
for himself in the grass that his
ancestors slept in hundreds OF
years ago.
Life is not what it was in the
old days. No more is an indlvldu-
al sufficient unto himself. The
prosperity of the individual is in
direct ratio to the prosperity OF
his community. The prosperity OF
the community depends upon the
prosperity of the state and the
state upon the union Let us all
realize this. Let us break these
bonds that are holding us aloof

very little touble regarding the
hired help question or the prob
lem OF proper equipment, both in
machinery and buildings; for, with
better prices comes the ability to
pay for better things. Problems
that loom large today would sink
into insignifcance with the ability
to pay.
Let us start here in Oconto
county, realizing that we have
been giving away what is right

of our position as producers and

Too Many Laws


One of the strangest political
tendencies of our time is the sud
denly increased faith of legislators
IN the power of laws to enforce
themselves once they are reduced
to writing. No belief has been so
continuously and thoroughly dis
credited, yet none is so alarming
~ alive. Every political philos-
opher from Montaigne's day to
this hour has recognized that the
best government is that conducted
with the least law and machinery.
A multitude of evils attend the
native faith of legislatures in the
auto enforcement capacity of law
as represented by words on a piece
OF paper. One is an inevitable
weakening of respect for a gov
crnment born of disregard for
It's more outlandish aspects. An
other is the uninterrupted en-
croachment of government on the
governed. A third and most dis
tresslng evil is the appalling ex-
pense attending the creation of
multitudinous new bureaus and
offices provided for.
The time may come when a can
dldate pledging himself to moth
ing but the repeal of two laws for
every one created will be general

County Pays No Bounty.

AS the result of a law recently
passed and now in force there are
many changes in the laws govern
ing payment of bounties on wild
animals. The county no longer
pays any of the bounty the state
paying it all; and no longer can a
person present a scalp to the
county clerk with his town chair
mans certificate and receive the
county bounty. He must exhibit
the entire carcass to the county
clerk or game warden who is
required to punch the ears and slit
the leg Of the animal.
The state will pay bounty of
81 on a wolf or coyote cub. $50 on
a mature wolf or coyote, S. on a
wild cat, SIS ON a lynx, and 81 on
a fox. The same law provides that
the deer tag shall cost so cents
and a hunting license one dollar

thew not organized so that all
narts worked in perfect harmony.
Thew get together and operate as
q whole On the other hand, our
LARGEST industry, agriculture, is
not only unorganized but disor-
ganized. There are no smooth
running parts in the agricultural
machine. In fact, it represents
the weird picture of an engine
with its moving parts trying to
travel in four different directions
at once. Instead of getting to-
gether and working in harmony,
agriculture stays apart and fights.
Until farmers can get together
and build up such an organization
as the other big organizations
have agriculture will be running
year after year with a debit bal
mce on its profit sheet. We can
not expect to sit back and wait
for some great prophet to lead us
out Of the wilderness. Each COM
munity must work out its own
salvation. Organization in the
community ultimately means the
consolidation of the whole into
one vast working organization.
It has long been the complaint
Of the farmer that the speculator
