(Contmued from page 9) speeches, there is no time to be lost in studying these great problems. is not a question of production alone, it is a question of the farmer bemg able to sell what he produces at a price which will justify him in continuing to produce. We are the best producers in the world, but our sales system is very bad mdeed We must study every- thing which influences both produc- tion and price. We must look into the matter of competition from farmers of. foreign lands where the agriculture is still being exploited and where the standards of living are very much be- low the standards which we demand for our people. We must look into world conditions both of supply and of demand and produce more intelli- gently and adjust our various crops to the probable needs. BANKERS CAN CONTROL PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS We must look into the administra- tion of our credit machinery. Those who control the finances of the coun- try and who have in their power to in- fluence, either directly or md.lrectly, the extension of credit can exercise a large amount of control over the prices of farm products. The same thing is true of the administration of our transportation system. Through the simple device of -regulating the flow of cars the prices of farm prod- ucts can he sent up or down at the will of those who exercise such control. In short, the people of the nation must understand that our prosperity as a nation depends upon a prosperous and wholesome agrlculture I can not now speak in detail of the many lines of work in the department of agriculture. We have here a mag- nificent body of men and a splendid or- ganization. We are going to try to use the scientific and practical knowl- edge of these men wherever it can best be used to promote the agriculture of the nation. ANOTHER GOOD IDEA. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I saw in the Leader a letter which asked if you would send sample copies of the Leader to names and addresses of per- sons who don’t take the paper, so I will ask you to print this letter and let the readers see I have been going after it. Of course I believe it is good to send names and addresses of persons we know don’t get the paper, but we are also taking care of every copy of the Leader we get. We wrap them up with a piece of old paper and write the name and address of someone on ‘| a slip of writing paper and afterward paste that on and put a 1-cent stamp on and mail every copy like that, so every copy of our Leader does good for two readers. Every one would be doing great good if they would follow this plan. THEO. G. MATTSON. Randall, Minn. STOPS UNFAIR PAPER Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Inclosed find editorial from the Milwaukee Sen- tinel which goes to show what kind of a paper we have here. Hereafter my money will go to the support of a paper that helps the farmer instead of fillinge him full of lies and Big Biz’ propaganda. Heye is wishing you the best of luck in all of your good work. We appre- ciate your help in the last election. We have a start now and, believe me, we are gomg to stlck and we are going to win. Ycurs for a living wage for the farmer, ARNO B. BUTTERS ‘Waldo, Wis. PAGE FIFTEEN The Trail to Prosperity MALL business is essential to our national prosperity and has won for itself an impor- tant and an enduring place. But small business, however multi- plied, cannot undertake to serve the public in a_big way where unity of servxce IS necessary. This must be accomphshed by great, highly specialized organizations, man- aged honestly and efficiently, and func- tioning to the benefit of all the people. Such an orgamzatlon is the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Its business is to refine crude petroleum into the many products needed by the eople — to provide a system of distri- gutlon which will make them available everywhere, and to sell at a price which is fair to all. To accomplish this, 25,000 men and women devote all their time, energy, ° and intelligence to the task, while the stockholders have invested more than $200,000,000 of capital. In preparing to meet the demands of .. industry, agriculture, and motorists throughout the 11 Middle Western states served, the Company is now refin- ing petroleum to the limit of its vast refinery capacity. It is distributing gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oils to its bulk stations throughout the territory in order that it may be in position to give immediate service when the Spring and Summer rush comes.
