Sana. What Will The Harvest Be? We are now in the campaign for capital stock on the part- of polk county farmers to .organize a cooperative marketing associa tioii through which the farmers of the county can serve them selves and each other in purchas ing heavy supplies, in large quantities, thereby obtaining them at reduced prices, and sell ing their products through , the same channel. Now who will be directly benefitted by such .; an association? The farmer! of course. At the same time ; the consumer will, be benefited, and finally the merchant, banker and every class of business men will be benefitted ; because the farmer will become prosperous,; and when the farmer is prosperous every class of humanity as pros perous. Whose duty then is it to subscribe the stock? The farm er's most assuredly. Why?. Be cause he must sometime, some where, somehow, learn to trans act his own business which will enable him thenceforth to 'be able to take care of himself. Did you ever hear a farmer whine and say that all classes of business men were organized against them? I have. But its not so in a sense; and in another sense it is true. All other classes of business men. are organized, that is true, but not against the larmerjbut m their own interest: Labor is organized; but ,A not against the farmer but for their own interest. lNo w . why should not the farmer organize? Not against the merchant, the- bank er, the manufacturer or any other class of Humanity;: but in his own interest first, and be cause it is his own interest, he will become more prosperous and in the end will be more helpful to. every other class of mankind. Of all farmers on earth; Polk County farmers are right now. in th very best condition for or ganization. I dare say there is no county in the state or out of it, where trade conditions are so favorable to cooperative market ing on the part of farmers asin Polk county. V The business men in the princi pal town in the county held a meeting and passed the warmest and . most friendly i resolutions ottering in every way possible to belp make the enterprise a suc cess. Even they have offered: to fake stock; but the stock , should 06 taken, owned and controlled by the farmers themselves; be muse we must organize in: our own interest and learn : to con duct our own business in that way that will build up the farm ers best interest which will jjke him a better and more use ful citizen, which will enable him serve himself, his- fellow farrner and as a class of business men serve other classes of : busi es men to greater advantage! ft is passengly strange that J?en must be plead with to do e PWn reasonable things; he nSnt to do without oersuasion. teachers have to kiU them ves exhorting men to go to this aauuiu mane Preparation even without an invitatimi Mo ?en asked to subscribe" one ttUiCOI StOck: nnlv $KH fftKo m small installments, whine -uu use cry babys and plead oT111' . when their savings for as,- . n sucn a cooperative W n would Pay for th rs.-BiasK2M farmers a share, of . stock; iuuy explaining evervthincr and now easy it could be paid, and the thing tomorrow." tey acknowledged all the bene- It did seem an unusual . state fit it would be; but would ' not ment on the face of it.
