SIX PLANKS FOR FARMERS

Louis V. Taber head of the National Grange and
member of the Presidents farm commission has six
suggestions for the rehabilitation of agriculture and
its maintenance on the economic principles which
have prospered business. They are:
l. Develop better marketing methods.
2. Practice intelligent, informed production.
8. Reduce cost of government.
A. Enforce the laws.
5. Make internal improvements with agriculture
in mind.
6. Further organize agricultural interests.
These are simple and straightforward suggestions
Although their declared purpose is to better the farm
er's condition, of them is wholly selfish pro-
posal Each one would benefit the whole consuming
public as we'll as the section of the public that pro-
duces the foodstuffs for all.

There is nothing new in the height. Temples have al
