Speiiee, Market Agengk t'owrt House, lTt1and. l)ni(Oii t'n operation, prauurflon control. I turlff protection and economy are vital to fie welfare of agriculture, I but thev will not be able to restore 1 prosperity until there la a BMFM ' oultable relation between the huv Ing value of the fr rmers' labor oi; pui and that of the manufacturers' output. Ii Is this disparity In dol lar values that la forcing the farm- I rs oir their lands, and this condition j wMl to a large extent continue until there la the same dollar In purcha ig power generally. Agriculture ran do much to brli g ' a return to parity by full ro opera tion In doing away with many mid dle Interests by taking over the.ei activities and marketing thrtr own products No matter what the sup ply or demand; i-o matter wheth r the farmer makes or loses on hlai nips, (he middlemen make their profits Jnat the same. The pro lines go to the consumer with about two dollars added to the one the farmer get. Thla lu one of the I ways the farmers' dollar Is demoni- ll.'.ed Hy force of organization t'.ie man ufaeturcra, financial Interests and la bor organizations refused to take a less when depression and dei'atlin time came. They were powerful nough to eliminate the law of sup ply and demand Tney coninuid to keep the v. ,ig"s and prices up. The manufacture. i were willing to lontlnue wage scales so long as llu were able to control the production and Rl .selling prices that would col I tuic their piollts. If all Industrie, were thus strong a'td ull could fore prollt prices, all would be on the tame level and have the same buy 'iig value dollar. BtM agriculiuro, n not gtrong enough to hold Its place. T'.ie farm er hat manltalned hla eurnl ig value hut he can't meet Ms expensei: His dollar has come o high, he hn in en eompeiled to exchange so much of hla products for It, that II doesn't buy enough so that lie can keep on It must be nuide to buy more or the future of agriculture will con tinue to look dark. All over the country there an movements to help the farmer. In rongresB many bills are Introduced to this end, but few results are aP parent. And many farmers are be coming auspicious of the move mi nts, are becoming skeptical of the t.om t'. of purpose. One of the farmer leaders at the recent state CI rang,, convention made the state- vmI th the agricultural leaders who were in close touc'i with affairs n the east, believe that the big In terests who steer national trans act iona have decided to let agricul ture work out their own salvation while they go on and make goods. The Chamber of Commerce of the I'nltii State has taken this nosl t'on that the farmer muat pull him self out. And all over the country the farm ers are trying to pull themselves out. Thousands of ro-operatlve or ganizations are building up. aid M they affiliate they are becom ing a bin fore- la demanding that their taxes be lowered; thnt ral' road rates be ri lured and that their products be given the aame tariff exclusion as of manufactured ar ticles. In Iowa massed farmers are demanding of the Incoming legisla ture that their taws be based on their net returns aid that t'ley be given equal consideration with the railroads that are guaranted profits In carrying the farm proJucts that they are losing money on. Many co-operative organizations are build ing their own warehouses, butter and cheese factories. Others are work ins out plans to sell direct to the retailer, mine even to the con sumer. Some are manufacturing t:ielr own products into food pro ducts. Many canning factories, ice cream, butter uud rheojn factories are ti'ghly successful, and many cat tlemen have their own stock yards Soma cities successfu'ly operate mu nicipal slaughter houses and pack ing plants for the benefit of both stockmen and "consumers ot meat. When the farmers will get togeth er as labor organizations do; us the manufacturers nud all other inter ests do; when they will once all get o thinking orgnnlrattnn a id atfila tion and applying it, they will not ; In n have to beg for a fair deal. fhey will demand il. and get it.

Chickens do not comi'tute e sum total of the poultr- indttstr; 'n the Cnlted States, as Is proven by the 1920 census wh'rh fodicate tr-'t there were at thai time :;, (127,000 turkeys, value 009,000; 2.1K. 000 ducks, $3.371 000: a d t.9".9 000 geese. $5,429,1 '0. In the hands of farmers. Turkey rais'ng la an Import - l Industry because of the great n'r i ber required for table on.mmpf'o i. It Is altogether probable tVu thl demand will continue for all V if and In view of the prevailing price during the past ilioade It 's ratVr remarkable that the niimbi r raited annually has steadily declined While the western ractemstiot states, from many viewpoin fg, are naturally adapted to the growine of turkeys, it is rather strange that, with the execcptlon of f!a!?orn '. they are far behind even when ti mated on a per capita basis. That there has been during the past decade a decided decrease n practically all parts of' the countr is shown by the 1900 census which reported the total number of tur keys In the United Stn'es to be 6.594,fi95, or almost double the num ber reported for 192" There are a number of MS kaa for the decrease In the nu uber raised, but it may be assumed that the pr'n clpal reason is the detail attention which the turkey requires In coin on rtson with other classes of poul try. Blackhead has proven a men ace to the induatrv and the ranire problem is generally In ev'den-e wherever increased production Is co h teniolated. There Is no line of business wl'h out Its perils Concentration and application are the watchwords in anv occupation. Nature's laws are trilevocablei and the most worthy ambition of anyone la to conform to her decree. For the capital In vested there is perhaps no line of production more profitable than turkev raising when proper method- are enployed. e-perience of Mr. Win. H. Ed'ev. of Powell, Wyoming. I Sho shone protect) would seem to S im port the claim on behalf of turkev raising. He has a 40-acre tract whic'i he croos to alfalfa, beans, po tatoes ant irrain. During the sea son of 19??. he concluded the ex periment somewh&t tn the turkey Industry and purchased a setting of thoroughbred turkey eggs for $12, which gave him ten turkey hens with which to start the season of 19.1. From t'-o ''ock he received a cash return of and still has 13 hens left for the 1V'4 -eason. This large return Is accounted for, in part at least, by the sale of 28 hens and 10 toms for use breeding stock. This fat a bona fide record and was intro riueotf into his system of diversi fied farming without detriment eith er to his crop or chicken business. Mr. Edley was not an expert In the turkey growing business and what he has done on his 30 acres, in addition to other lines, can easily be accomplished by anv other person of ordinary capacity and patience. It Is suggested, however, that If any of our readers contemplate en gaging in this side line that they address a communication to the I". S. Department of Agriculture. Washington. D. C . and ask for Farmers' Bulletin No. 1409. Bill ons of Buttons There are -D.ikm.ooo.otK) buttons manufactured in this country annual ly, and the Industry has grown to such prxqiorttnns that It equals, in dol lars invested, and value of products, the cutlery Industry or the manufac ture of oilcloths and linoleum. Ameri ca has almost a monopoly on the manu facture of vegetable Ivory buttons, which are made In enormous quunti Ilea from the toguu mtt. This nut i;rovvs plentiful!) In the northern part of South America mid In I'liminia. and provides the greater part of the but tons used in men's clothing. If all the buttons mad" In u year In the 1'nited States were distributed equally among the population each man, woman and child would receive 181!, with a few thousand left over for good measure.
