SHOULD RECEIVE HIGHER PRICE | Evy farm. in M TUnited - should be an eéfficiently organized | factory, busy throughout the year, Rey, Charles W. yin the opinion of Charles Dillon of | Topeka, Kan:, a farm magazine editor, who spoke to {he Farmers' National congress at the Rome hotel yesterday afternoon. “It should sell its products through co-operation | with factories,” he said. “This is one | of the most pressing economic prob- lems the American public is facing.” “The fundamental weakness of the American farm as an economic insti- tution is its failure to give profitable employment to the owner, the hired ma nand .the family' throughout the | year,” heé sald. Mr. Dillon’ pointed out that the farmer | is the lowest paid businces man in the world “because he and his plant are idle from four to six gionths in the year." A fact seldom realized, Le asserted, is that of all the army of unemployed in ' the United States today 56 per cent is on the farms. He advocated ueing idle time by modifying the system of farming now generally in vogue 8o as to produce more | ve stock and relatively less hay, grain | dnd cotton for the market, in part, by | finishing and standardizing the products of the farm. Refineries on Farm, “An army of people in the cities is em- ployed in grading stock and otherwise refining the products of the farm,” Mr, Dillon continued. “Nearly all of this labor | could be done-on the farm quite es well A farm factory can cure its own meat. 1t can organize itself into the most com- Plete form of business in producing, pack- ing, marketing, branding and selling egges, bulter and other products. It can advertise these products. In brief it can organize the business of farming so that the farmer may get & larger part of what | the consumer pays for these products,'” A general reception and soclal reunion was. held last night at the Commercial club rooms in the Woodmen of the World bullding. Delogates - from almost every state in the union were there to the num- ber of several hundred. Members of the Commercial club met them in an informal social hour. The rural school problem is to come up this mofiing at the session schedule for 9:3 o'clock today at the convention | hall in the hotel Rights for Citizens. “Nothing short of everlasting vigilance will insure to the great mass of common citizens their share of rights and privi- leges, as compared to those a higher up in the scale of possible wealth, and hence influence.” This was a state- ment of Presidept W. L. Ames in his ovening address, The asscrtion followed his detafled treatment of the subject of legislation, “the little joker,” the “invisible” or “back door government” and otier forms of trick legislation. He declared, “These tricks block and delay justice until pa- tience Is worn out and the memory of a erime or Injustice is so dulled by pass- ing time that we flnaily become indif- ferent to it. “Conditions are such that they not only permit but encourage mayors, police forces, gheriffs, servants, - and even Judges, elected to guard and care for our Interests, to so pollute themselves with graft, political ip- trigue and fraud, as to land whole city forces of such servants in federal prisons as the history of the last year records.
