whom are feudal lords. If the rebels
are victorious it is the plan to hold
plebiscite to determine the senti-
ment of the people regarding the
return of the former King Alfonso.
Alfonso who fled in 1881, is now
staying in Innsbruck, Austria. He
claims that he has taken no part in
the war and will take none. He has
given no indication that he will re-
turn to Spain in the event of the
victory of the rebels and a favorable

SELF-RELIANCE ON THE FARM

- - - Wv NTlNt
American agriculture, like Ameri-
can industry goes through bad times
as well as good and must face
plenty of serious problems-but the
average farmer is far from the weak
sister that some of our professional
farm relievers" seem to think.
Self-reliance still is his foremost
characteristic.
Proof of that is found in the
statistics showing the growth and
development of agricultural selling
cooperatives. These co-ops were in
their infancy fifteen years ago
today are "big business and to-
morrow they will be bigger busi-
ness still. They grew rapidly dur
ing depression. They are owned
and operated by their members, who
appoint executives precisely as do
stockholders of a corporation. And
these cooperatives, Loyalty and en-
Enthusiastically backed, are fighting
the farmers battles and getting re-
suits.
Fifty years from now, when the
history Of agriculture in the
'twenties and thirties is written,
it will probably be the cooperatives,
not the farm relief laws, which will
be given the main credit for farm
achievements of the period.
