WHAT WILL THE FARMERS DOT
Farmers, what will you do ?
The world says you have too much
cotton, too much tobacco, too many
peanuts.
The world has cruelly crushed you
with your own thrift. \ou have been
diligent—you have done too much.
Your labor has forced you to mort
gage your home.
Will you work too much this year ?
\\ ill you pile up another fifteen mil
lion bale crop in 1926 and force the
prices even lower than now? -r-
Will the farmer again fill the coun
try full of tobacco und force prices
down?
ft • 'jf?
Will he plant the earth in peanuts
and dump them for two-thirds of what
they cost ?
It is folly for the farmer to do more
held work. He has made himself poor
uiready by working too hard and pro
ducing too much.
The farmer sorely needs to know
more about his market, in which alone
his prosperity lies.
The coffee farmer of brazil and the
East Indies can't raise enough cof
fee to break the market, simply be
cause he knows how to sell.
The rubber growers can't produce
enough rubber to break the market
lie sells his customer his needs at the
price he names, not the customer's
price.
The American farmer is the only
man on earth that 'fights his neighboi

r in business. It seems impossible to
get them together, and If they happen
h to get together they are the quickest
y people of all to break their agreement.-
The sad thing, from the farmers
u position, is why work when he has
11 piled up such a surplus that the world
'• can't use it? Why buy fertilizer to
* make more crops to make lower
prices ?
The merchant comes along and says
" "1 will feed you if you and all the
* family will work hard." The guano
man says "Fertilize highly and pro
' duce big crops." And when the big
8 crops are produced the price is too
low to pay the cost of production, and
b the farmer has to make two more
t ' *
mortgages, one to the merchant, the
other to the fertiliser man, to pay
B for the folly of his hard work.
' The farmer must make less or learn
to market what he does make.
