Every an* knows that It doable to live what It did before the war. The bodhteea man can meet the new condition*, for he la able to advance the price of hia goods or of hia sei »>sos to tha pahlic. Bat when the farmer haa something to sell ha haa no voice in nam in* tha price. The eolation to the problem la far seme way to he found to secure to the farmer a price that win Ilea and tot Ilea. It la the only eolation. Tha way oat of the trouble may be in the way of better buaineee condition all alone the line. It a*y be that the sold storage hooee will play a large part In the eolation. So tone ae the aunt damp Me pi uJen on a market ha wffl eefl on a leer market. -Until ha ia able to put-Ma produce on the market in a way to ha attractive and meet the demands of , the buying public he will find It hard to eetl at a profit. Theee new condi tion* must be worked out largely by the buaineee men of the country who are hi poeition to do buaineaa hi a large way. For the ratten of the big buaineee man ia entirely dependent on the eucceee of the little boaineoa man each ae the moss roads merchant and the one horse faimei. It la a known fact that when organ isation etarted fat California the far mer waa receiving about tan cents ia the dollar for what the tunaumai was paying for his products. With organ isation and cooperation this waa in creased to as ranch as forty cento a% the fanner's share. Iliere ia a wide difference between receiving ten cents ta the doltof «nd forty cento.

It ia really a problem for the big bnainaaa man wM ia patriotic enough and sensible enough to see that Ma sarcaaa ia wrap pad up in the success of every one about him. NORTH CAROLINA AND WILSON It may not be known to many that North Carolina waa the first to re cognise the worth of the tote Mr. Wil eon. It la a fact neverthetoea.

The farmer* thought they ■aw a fortune in wheat dur|Df the war times and quit everything elaa to grew wheat. The banker*, thought they, toe, taw a fortune in wheat and they backed the farmera to the limit. Other men who wet* not bankers thought they aaw fortune* in bank ing. and aa fat mora and buaineaa men organized new banka by the hundred. Then the bottom dropped oat of wheat and during the paet year aver 200 of the small banka have bean eloaed up, and along with them some big banka have had to quit with nothing to ihow for their capital bat mortgagee on land that no one will hay. Thirty six percent of the farm* in the Dako ta etatea have not bean aold under mortgage dur ng the paet year, and the eftd la not yet. In the face of this huaiwaaa tangie Congreee ia called apan to da umi thing, nobody mat to know what.
