T —, "SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE COOPERATION “Farming in the future will m) longer be » matter of brute force. It | Wwill be a business zati'on, mtelh"ence " Reads as if it werestaken from an editorial written yesterday, or a speech by some exten- sion worker out in the field. The! quctation represents the vision of one | John Skinner, editor of the Ameri can Farmer, the first edition o which appeared in Bal{more in Ap. ril, 1821, just 100 years ago. The thing cf chief interest now, | perhaps, is found in the fart thot! the. éditor, influenced doubtless by | the current discussion around . him, began writing 100 years ago about | ‘the subject wkich has never ceased | cince his day to engage the attention of thoughtful people everywhere. In-| vestigation shows that men have| ‘been trying all these years to achieve | the perfect organization for 1gricul— ture, and they. still are trying. The minds cf farmers today are turned, for the most part, toward co- operation as a means of reach¥ng suc- | cess. Just how far they may go with their efforts is a disputed matter. | Many business men, many of the great ccnsuming public. appsar to! question the farmers’ right to pro-| tect themselves in tlis way, forget- bing that every branch of business nas done precisely this thing. “There zwe about 15,000 farmers’ 'organizations in' this country today,” said George Livingston, chief of the Bureau of Markets, Uri'ted States De- | Ppartment of Agriculture. “These or- ganlizations ‘have..a membership cf approximately 2,000,000, A move- ment so widespread should benefit| hoth producers and consumers. Once\ thé’ public believes ccoperative mark- | eting, for instance, will result in' better quality, a standardization of | preducts and packing, the reduction of ‘waste, the public will’wish to do| its part to encourage such united ‘ef- fort.. Bverything should :be flone-to| discolfrage’a seemingly growing be- lief. that such organizaions are for | the purpose cf cortrolling ‘prices. The | ipublic should be brought to under- stand that farmers are organizing to get for themselves and their families | «a fair reward for the labor they have! put into production, with the chject | of ‘havng higher standards of liv-! ing, ‘better homes, schools and churches. Although he may not ‘kmow:it, every man in towns or city Ttan; a close, personal interest in the success of American agriculture. It ig, or should be, a cycle on results: | better. farming, -better prices, better | ‘homes, better people, because the | strength of the cities, as all thought- ful persons know, lj'es in the strength of the country. by which I mean the rural regions.” In his weekly conference with rep- resentatives. of the press recently, Secretary Wallace of hk United iStates Department of .Agriculture, said fin speaking of the meeting of the Committee ¢f Seventeen in Ch(- cago: “There seems to be a fear that | the farmers w(ill go to price-fixing, but I think this fear is unfounded. | The Chicago gathering should give reassurance as to the farmers’ ability to bring about a moncpoly. It should be 1emembered compulsory ‘pooling of agricultural products was rejected, and that the final vote gave a ma- jority for optional pooling. The con- ference gave hopes ofrmuch improve- ment in grain nrarketing methods.” YOUR FRIENDS AT THE- COFFEE SHOP and enjoy a da‘lnty feed or 419217 for brains, orgdm-‘ | FOR BALE-—160 acres LIVED t ! e OLD _HORACE WRIGHT WHO WEPT HIS PLACE UP WORKING EACH NIGHT . | CLASSIFIED DEPARTHENT ¢ for af time of insertion will be charged for at ONE CENT a word, and then only to those having open accounts on i our books. * No ad taken for less than twenty-five cents.
