Mentlon Leader when writing advertisers The Leader’s Book Reviewer New books sent us for criticism A BOOK FOR FARMERS RITE as is the phrase, “High Cost of Living,” it will have new interest for farmers and workers as the title of a book just published by Frederic C. Howe, commissioner of immigration of New York. People often shun articles with this heading, for it has become a stock phrase of all newspapers, but they will miss something if they fail to read Mr. Howe's newest book. Frederic C. Howe 18 renowned as a student of marketing, of co-operation, public ownership, and economics in general. He has written several books, but none of them surpasses this one, which is packed full of information useful to all farmers and others who live by labor., It contains 271 pages, is printed in large, clear type, and is easy to read. Here are some passages that show the fundamental grasp of the author: “The feeding of the nation has been left almost wholly to chance and to unorganzed, uncontrolled agencies. Production and distribution have been permitted to evolve from the condi- tions of a half century ago into the highly complex relationships of a whole natior, if not the entire world, with but little official concern for either the producer at one end of the line, or the consumer at the other. “Before the coming of great cities each community sufficed for itself. The market man or local grocer barter- ed for food with the mneighboring farmer, and the laws of demand and supply regulated production and kept prices at a reasonable figure. This was the condition up to a few years ago. “Cities grew. The nation became a market. The Northwest entered into competition with New England. Cali- fornia and Florida were the local truck garden. market into the world. Canada and the American northwest, Russia, Aus- tralia and South America produced for the industrial workers of the world, and the prices of cereal and meat prod- ucts were fixed in London and Liver- pool. “Only in a few countries—notably Australia, Denmark and Germany— has the control of food been viewed as a matter of government concern or subjected to a unity of direction in the interest of the producer and the con- sumer. In most of the other countries and in America in particular, the sub- ject has been left to the unregulated license, not of the producer, not of the consumer, but of the distributing agencies which have it in their power to control, not only prices, but produc- tion as well. TUnregulated private banking and usury have contributed still further to the disorganization which prevails, while no official con- cern has been shown for the economic foundations of agriculture, the rela- tion of the people to the 1and.” The book is a splendid constructive effort that should be read by every farmer in the United States. It may be had from Charles Scribners’ Sons Fifth Avenue & 48th St, New York, N. Y., by sending the purchase price of $1.50, on receipt of which it will be sent postpaid.

Our conclusion has been arrived at from the fact that we find wreck after wreck scattered all over these states that were promoted by these same institutions. And we could be of great assistance to such stores and in a good many cases save them from destruction if they will give us the opportunity. We believe that you will comprehend after carefully comparing the plans of the American Rochdale Union with those of the English and Scottish Wholesale Societies and local institutions as developed under the plans of those Rochdale Pioneers of 1844, (and those of the past would be co-operative plans) that you will be readily convinced of how near we have consumated the plans of the European Rochdale System, and you will discover & very. small _semblence of the Rochdale System as carried out in a practical way and applied in the plans of the Co-operative Stores that have gone to the wall, and those that are strug- gling to maintain themselves. We have heard some say that plans can be changed by a co-operative store if q:e one they start out with don’t_prove satisfactory. Brother Co-operators don’t try this—it is too dangerous. We have found it so from our experience in Montana, from the fact that the stock-holders arc not familiar with Co- operation in the first place and they figure that a change would be a guess, and what will follow that condition doesn’t speak well for co-operation.
