Washington, Aug 10. Next week the
progressive farmers of th rTngrmsW e
tats of Oklahoma will mt at Slraw
nee to devise ways and means of se
curing still (treater cooperation among
themselves. Kike ot'Kftnlzatlons met in
Texas and Virginia last week, and
Kentucky, alive to the needs of the
; peorlc perfected a cooperative union of
Ita formers. These farmers see three
or four man between themslves and
the consumer making good livings and
are frolng to try to eliminate the prof
its of these middle mon In order to
enjoy the full fruit of their own ltbors.
It Is but a weathervnne that tells
v where aets the wind of farm progress
Cooperation among farmers begun years
ago. but It has only recently begun to
spread with a telling effect. Now It
applies to creameries turnpikes, tclc-
phone systems, slaughter-houses, fruit
And vegetable shipping, grain elec
tors, and a dozen other aetlvli ies .which
have hitherto belonged to t lie injjMle
' men. A bill is now pendinp before the
60th congress Tor the organization of a
farmers' cooperative commission, w hose
, province It shall be to encourage co
operation among farmers. A large sum
Is proposed to lie appropriated by the
bill to defray the expenses of the com
mission. That It is not the political
dream of sunn; congressman from
Ruralvllle, who Introduced It solely ns
a bid for the farmer vote In his dis
trict, is shown by the fact that one
V of the warmest advocates of such a
commission la none other than Assist
ant Secretary of Agriculture W. M.
Hays.
Virginia Truckman's Millions.
Perhaps the most striking example of
what cooperation among farmers will
6a for them is that shown by the oo
.. operative society formed by the truck
men Of the eastern shore of Virginia
. This society handles the season's crops
on the name basis as Independent com
mission men. When last year's selllne
' season was over and the profits for
the year reckoned up, It was found that
it had netted (50,000.000. These prof
its were then distributed pro rata
among the farmers who were members
of the society. '
Already in other communities farmers
m are duplicating the success of the east-
em shore farmers In the buying of!
machinery, fertilizers, and the like. It
Is becoming a frequent experience of
fertilizer agents to be asked by a group
of farmers to give them, their lowest
bids on so many carloads of fertilizers,
and the agents usually do some pretty
Jlvely hustling to get the business. As
a result the farmer enjoys the bene
fits which make the f rom-the-weaver-to-the-wearer"
principle attractive to
the man who buys a suit of clothes.
They generally get their goods as
cheaply as the regular fertilizer dealer i jn the country
fets. nis, ana me money mey wouiu
ave had to pay him as his profit they
can keep in their own pocKeta. Bij?
commercial agencies are taking note of
them, and there are probably five farm
ers rated in Dun's and Bradstreet's
now where there was one 2u years ago.
Middlemen's Appalling? Profits.
Of course the elimination of all mid
dlemen will never come, but it is Inter
esting to speculate how much the far
mer would save did he sell everything
direct to the consumer and buy every
thing direct from the manufacturer.

The Mrket-Dy Byatem.
Many towns in Hie rural districts
have taken nr the plan of encouraging
the farmels to have special market
days. i'rlzes are .iiiered by merchants
and dealers for the man who brings in
t lie largent bt of one thins or another,
and to (he ono w ho buys the biggest bill
of this or that kind of goods one of
the towns ,nat have tried It to ndvan
tutre Is Kmssoii, .Minn. Its merchants
offei'-d a ;irl.o to the farmer who would
bring In tlie largest number of eggs,
and another who would buy the biggest
hIM of goods. Tho contest was a lively
one. many farmers driving as far as
JO miles to participate in It. At a re
cent markut day of this kind, over P00
farm wagons tame to town loaded with
produce.
As yet nil the cooperation among
farmers is in n small way und among a
limited number. Though thev are the
most numerous class of people In the
country, adding moro to the national
wealth than any other class, possessing
a larger share of this national wealth
than any other class, farmers are yet
the poorest organized or any people in
the United States. Printers eay what
wages they want and usually get them.
Lawyers fix their fees, doctors maintain
their scale of charges, merchants estab
lish their prices, but farmers must Bell
what they have to sell at prices fixed by
others, and buy what they have to buy
under similar conditions.
What th) Farmer Could Do.
Attempts at national organization and
national cooperation heretofore have al
ways failed. The granger movement
went to smash under its own weight,
and the Farmers' Alliance was no great
er success. Organized, the farmers of
the country possess enough ready money
to put up a price strike which would
uinke the great coal strike of 1902 look
small Indeed. With the strong helping
the weak thev could maintain an Indefi
nite strike for higher prices for their
produce and lower prices for their ma
chinery. Did they assess the Individual
farmer "half as much in proportion to
1,1s wealth a the coal miners, the print
ers, the bricklayers, or the carpenters
are individually assessed to maintain
their wage scales, they could raise, a
fund which would be incalculably great
er than Die his coal striko fund of 1902.
Cooperation Xiocal, Not Rational.
It has long been the dream of many
to unite the farmers of the country as
other classes are united, but they de
clare it a Ttopian dream. The develop
ment of the cooperative principle, ac
cording to those who are studying tho
trend of the times, will be along neigh
borhood and not along national lines.
Last year the farmers furnished ex
ports amounting to over a billion dol
lars, four fifths of which were plant
products. If to the products that are
fully agricultural are added those which
are considerably so In combination with
materials of othex origin, and then to
this Is added the value of. the forest
products and tho manufactures there
from, the remainder of the exports
amount to but 28 per cent of the to
tal. So in spite of the fact that the
farmer fixes neither the price of what
he sells nor of what lie buys, he is yet
about the most prosperous individual

years of his exile. Then the letters
suddenly ceased. The young man was
worriod and anxious, but still confident
that the girl remained true to ,hlni. He
was confident, too, that, had anything
befallen her. his friend would have In

Just as he was preparing to return
home, however, he learned, a month ago
in Uoston, that she had married a well-
to-do miller In her native village.
His love turned to hatred. Verganl
hastened at once to Italy, bought one of

and drove to Monsellco, a village near
