His subject was: “Cooperative Mar
keting as a solution to farm prob
lems. The other schools in the con
test were Gold Sand, and Edward
Pest.
The winner Friday night took sec
ond place in a similar contest last
summer in the State contest at State
College.
His speech is as follows:
It matters not whether you are in
the field of agriculture or in some
other field, the proper solution of
this problem is of significance to you.
Tt is of vital importance because the
success or failure of the farmer will
determine the industrial progress of
United States.
For many years the farmer has
been seated at a well appointed table,
where a mocking host has offered
him phantom portions without sub
stance of sustenance; and has laughed
in derision at his increasing distress.
The host does not realize that back
of the farmer’s murmurings there is
a grim determination to break the
yoke of bondage that has been his to
bear for centuries. This same host,
namely, the speculator, has by care
ful manipulation been the benefici
ary of all tbe farmer’s marketing ef
forts.
Visualize with me the history of
the tiller of the soil, struggling with
his crude agricultural methods and
battling the difficulty of individual
ism. During these trying years the
farmer was seen with his slow mov
ing oxen, producing crops by labor
ous methods. New inventions made it
possible for the farmer to acquire
better facilities with which to do his
farming and gradually the slow mov
ing oxen became an animal of his
tory. We see the oxen displaced by
horses that were faster and more ef
ficient. We sec the c.'d methods of
harvesting wheat and other grain
cropssupplanted by the reaper and
hinder.
By nineteen hundred the speculat
ors were beginning to be so numerous
that the farmers were forced to sell
their produce at a loss, causing a
great deal of suffering and much
more hard work, yet they continued
u, produce more and n re products
m starvation prices, expecting to cov
er the expenses of their farming. This
system continued until 1914 when the
World War increased the demand for
all kind of farm products. During
this period farmers w«*e prosperous
in every field of agriculture, during
this wave of unusual prosperity there
was no need for cooperative effort,
but mind in nineteen hundred and
twenty when the abnormal demand
for farm products was no longer felt
and prices began to tumble and pro
fits commenced to dwindle; then it
was that farmers attempted to make
up for this decreased profits by an
increased production. With this in
n-eased production prices have con
tinued to dwindle until today there is
[liscouragement in every field of ag
riculture. It was not until 1920 that
people began to consider seriously
new plans for marketing farm com
modities.
It is true that the growth of our
marketing system had been retard
ed for years by incompetent persons
who condemned it as being a new
policy. Many solutions have been in

troduced but only one, the cooperat
ive marketing associations which per
tains to agricultural commodities,
will accomplish the desired results.
Cooperative associations have not
had an easy road to travel. Many
difficulties have been eliminated, but
there is still the unfriendly schemer
who thinks that cooperative associ
ations threaten his private speculat
ing interests.
Let us now look at the responsibili
ties of the cooperative organizations.
They must conduct themselves with
the utmost care so that charges of
monoply or manipulation can be re
futed. Educational activities, thru
its various channels, must be encour
aged to show that cooperative mar
keting leads to fair and stablized
prices for both the producer and con
sumer.
The pathway of cooperative mark
eting has been rugged because of a
long line of self-gratifying middle
men between the producer and con
sumer to have, in many cases, by can
ny methods, reaped profits that
should have gone to the producer.
These fraudelent measures have of
ten been taken while performing ne
cessary marketing services. Farmer
controlled associations make it pos
sible for the farmers to render these
services at actual cost and eliminate
all unnecessary expense. By this
method the producer gets all the pro
tits obtained through his produce.
Cooperative associations have
brought financial benefits to the
farmer and have also contributed
largely to the civic and social pro
gress of a great many lural com
munities. For example, the social
and educational meeting* of many lo
cal groups of cooperative association
members in the S> ut.iern States.

Adults Contract Children's
Diseases
Adults can, and do, contract many
children’s diseases. And, usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expen
sive medical treatments, without reali
zing that worms are the cause of their
troubles. Yet, the symptoms are the
same as in children, loss of appetite
and weight, minding the teeth and reet
less sleep, itching of the nose and anus,
and abdominal pains. And, the same
medicine that surely and harmlessly ex
