The Farmer Can’t
Stand Much More
Help Like He Has
Been Getting
Congress say they are helping tha

salary. He is home trying to pay it.
Fanners have had more advice and
less relief than a wayward son. If ad­
vice sold for 10c a column, Farmers
would be richer than Bootleggers.
And when they get all through ad­
vising, there is just one thingwill help
the Farmers. That is eliminate some
of the middlemen and let the two
ends meet. The Consumerand the
Producer are two men in America
that have never even seen each other.
Cut out the middle and tic the
two ends together.
When a steer starts from the feed
pen to the table, there is about 10 to
take a bite out of him, before he
reaches the family that pay for him.
W ho wears the best clothes or
drive* the best car, the fellow who
raises a bushel of wheat, or the work­
ing fellow who goe* up to buy a sack
of flour? W hy neither one of them.
The ones in between these two have
their private Tailor and “ Straight
Eights.”
The Government just told Agri­
culture, “ Youare in a hole.” They
didn’t offer to pull them out, but
they did say, “ W e will get down
in there with you. ”
I want to tell you right here, I
don’t know what would have hap­
pened to the poor farmer if it had
not been for his old friend, “ Bull”
Durham. It’* the only thing he has
been absolutely able to rely on. And
I want him to know that myse!f and
“ Bull” Durham are with him right
to the poor house door.
P. S. There will be another piece here
a few weeks from now. Look for it
