Farmers Are Made
San Francisco, Aug. 4. Change tho
financing of the farmer and place
him on parity with the city business
man in obtaining money.
Give ths farmer dependable ana
i.Knr t work and harvest M.
Prevent the 15 per cent loss which
the American farmer suffered last
year because of lack of labor.
Kliminate the country saloon from
j tho farming communities. It greatly
decreases production.
Establish permanent freight rates
for farm products.

: suggestions recently made to mem
bers of the Commonwealth club by
