It is a fact, as appalling as it is disgusting, that farmers are the only class of people who produce without regard for consumption and demand and they are the only folks who go - on the market as beggars and let the purchaser fix the prices upon their products. If a doctor and lawyer should adopt the policy of letting the purchaser price their services, how long wold they stay in business? If manufac turer or merchant should let his cus tomersfix the prices upon his goods and wares wouldn't it be disastrous to hfs business?

Eco nomic erroes that make it hard for farmers' wives cannot be cor rected by Secretary Wilson or by anybody except the farmers them selves. This is the kind of doctrine the Farmers' Union has been preaching and should continue to preach for it is fundamental We Get sick and tired of see ing so much about "helping" the farmers. A doctor helps himself by limiting the supply of his ser vice to actual demand at a price fixed by himself and his organi zation, and other professional men do the same. It isn't necessary for the government to "help" them in their business, neither is it necessary for them to carry their wives and children into the'r busi ness with them to make a living. The manufacturer limits his pro ducts to the probable demand and he supplies the market gradually; the conditions as they exist. The work of the Union thus far has been largely educational. To change a system that has enslaved the farming classes for centuries is a mamoth undertaking but to re fuse to make any effort to change itonly hastens the day whenabsen tee landlords will own practically all the farm lands of this country, for when one class of people give ! another class the exclusive right to price the products df their toil, the class that does the pricing will eventually own the lands, and ownership of farm land carries with it ownership of those who live on it. We again repeat and emphasize the statement that increased ag gregate yields on the farms is not a solution. The campaign for jig ger yields of corn has been a great help to some farmers Adio had r.ot been making enough corn for home consumption, for it en couraged them to correct an econ- schools that touch the farmer.

These are the last in our countrv schools who earn a lots remaining unsold in this salary of from $50 to $75 a month and terms that cover eight and I (c nine months instead of three or four Right at this point is where we should expend our strength. Instead of creating Training Schools at enormous cost and county high schools and farm life schools, we ought to be bending our energies to improve the school where the thousands go and nor the hundreds: where the masses may get some light and not the favored few. Will we forever waste our time and money trying to help the strong and leaving the weak in the darkness? Is it not about time that the will of the people should be heeded in this mztter? The teacher training business has been sadly overdone. We need more schools for the traming of children. Charity & Chidren. Teacters Examination.

It was this sort i of result President Barret had in mind when he said: 4A great i i -it i many people are, witn nonest motive, striving to help the farm er produce more goods at less cost and labor. And then, there are a few who are urging him or to production that prices May drop and everybody get a lift except the farmer.' In other words, when we apply intelligent methods of production and produce more goods for the market at less cost and le?s labor where does it heto us, if other people, who buy our products, at reduced prices, get the benefit of our economies in production? This is the real live problem that confronts us and more farmers are seeing'ihe light than have ever seen it before. When enough of them shall have seen it with all of its force and significance they will find the rem edy and they will have the patriot ism and courage to apply the rem edy and do business like the bal ance of the world does busi ness.
