There are some among the more con nnrvativa of the hoD dealers who look askance at the action of the sen ate, contending that it will not make a particle of difference in the market so (far as the United States Is con cerued, and that It will only serve to stir the growers of England to ac tion again to agitate retaliatory leg islation against American Importation Of hops Into, the English market and that no , good can come of the pro posed Increase of duty. ! The oDtlmlstic or "bull" element Among the dealers contend that the Increase of 8 cents In the duty on foreign hops will operate to shut out the annual Influx of from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 pounds of German and con tinental hops amounting to 20,000 to 40,000 bales, Into the American mar ket, induce or compel the American brewers to buy the American product at an increase in prfce from 3 to 4 cents per pound over the present con ditions. They are highly elated over the news of the Increase In the tar iff on hop Imports, and scores of con gratulatory telegrams were sent out from both growers and local dealers to United States Senators Bourne and Chamberlain in appreciation of. the action of the senate.

Farmers are beginning to see the need of con certed action, but as a rule we still work single-handed. At Lombard, 111-, about twenty miles west of Chicago, the farmers who produce milk for sale In the big city have tried several times to organize in order to force the milk trust to pay them a price in accordance with what the customer pays, but the trust is always able to hire some farmer to break the rules of the local association or to talk Against the project to such an extent as to defeat its ends. That is one great difficulty in forming protective measures among farmers. There are always a few men in the community who are willing to sacrifice future ad vantages to gain a few cents in pres ent price. Have Thirty-Three Members.
