for the ultimate solution of our
ecoiiomic problems.
The middleman is nothing
more tl-an a farm hand but he
is able to fix his own wages and
to collect them and to multiply
his transactions as he pleases.
Thirty per cent of the perish
able farm products of Texas
farms never leave the farm but
rot in the field for lack of profit-
able prices and transportation fa-
cilities. \
Bumper crops without market
facilities have sent more farmers
staggering down the back alleys
of agriculture than all the pests
and drouths that ever cursed the
nation.
When we make the common
carrier the agency between the
producer and consumer, we will
have a regulated highway of
commerce where the article can
safely travel without danger of
being burglarized on the road-
way of trade.

ret rtd of the clods —they de-
rease crop yields.
le law of ability governs the
3s of the farmer.
racter is built upon the
rock of doveloped opportunities.
In union there is strength and
in co-operation there is profit.
The farmer can neither help
himself nor be helped by others
until he organizes.
As long as every farmer tries to
go it alone his task becomes in-
creasing difficult.
The efficiency of farm horses
and mules is greatly reduced by
unwise feeding and lack of care.
Our transportation systems are
the dray carts of agriculture and
can be made capable pe ddle^s of
farm products.

In our search for solutions we
first need to see things as they
are and be certain how we shall
rebuild before we commence to
destory.
An intelligent co-operation be-
tween the toilers of the cities
and of. the country is necessary
