Don't fall for everything be-

he said. But keep an open
mind toward those marketing
enterprises which seek to get
your product to the consumer in
more efficient way than it is
now getting there. Il the pro
ject sounds businesslike, if the
promoter talks as though be
knows something about business
If the plan of distribution is
similar to those plans which
have already been successful,
then it may be we'll to lend your
support.
You will have long wait,
however," be added, If you are
looking for relief through the
growth of co operative market
ing enterprises. Ia the mean
time it might be well to tes.
your seed corn and raise your
production from eighty to ninety
bushels to the acre to two or
three hundred bushels. Then
you can make as much as you
are making now by cultivating
less land and doing less work.
Or get into a COW testing asso
citation and get rid of the un.
profitable COW, or learn to Gull
your fiocks, and then raise only
the hens which pay their own
way. Or grow more alfalfa and
soy beans and buy less ready
mixed feed.
This was his advice to the
farmer who is tired of awaiting
for relief from the politician and
the clever talking promoter.
