veloped with such amazing rapidity

within the past five years that its operations today extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Interior of Canada to the Mexican border. If it is allowed to continue for another five years, not a grain grower, not a vegetable producer, not an orchardist, save one class in one limited area, will be able to escape paying tribute to it. Born In the fertile, fortune-seeking brain of a young Jew on the Pacific Coast a little more than five years ago, and nurtured by a Jewish official who had the ear of one of the slate governments by which he was employed the idea was turned millions away from the pockets of the men who till the soil, and into' the hands of the Jews and their followers. With specious promises which never have been and can not bo fulfilled, these exploiters of the farmers, working together like the wellmeshed cogs of a perfectly designed machine, are attempting to bring all the farmers of whatever class In the Vnited States "into various classified organizations called "co-operative marketing associations." As soon as these individual and local associations are formed, they are organized again into larger classified state and rational bodies. These state and national bodies, one to each variety of agriculturist grain, potatoes, fruit, vegetables, and so on are to be organized, for a third time, inldone huge controlling body, nation-wide, probably international, so that the Jews of Europe and "Asia also may participate. So far this group has proceeded only so far as the state, or crop-territory, association. Interior Disturbances This delay in the formation of the national Jewish "holding company" for the entire production of all the farmers of the 1'nited States is not due to any backwardness on the part of the promoters of the plan, but solely to interior disturbances in the local associations already organized. The majority of these disturbances have been economic, iui to the fluctuating conditions of i.;;b;i- demand and public ability to 1 ay lor the production of these associations. A few of them have been brought about by braver spirits in the Unal associations, who, seeing the direc

tion affairs were taking, endeavored

trol and direction vested in men who know production, demand, market

Such men are

There are In the agricultural'statee from the Appalachians to the Rockies, approximately 10,000 local co-operative marketing associations. Most of them are successful in that they bring to the average producer about what his product is worth, and to the producer of below-the-average crops, more than he could obtain for them In any other manner. The farmer who knows his business as well as does the successful manufacturer, and whose product Is better than average, does not, and will not, join these associations. It Is worth noting that these local associations, both in the interior of the United States and on the Pacific Coast, where they have reached greater development than in any other section, have moved along smoothly and profitably until the Jewish Influence began to be felt in them. Then, almost immediately, dissension inside, and quarrels with the market outside, began to appear. The majority of the associations which have come under the new influence and are now solidly under Jewish control, are on the' Pacific Coast, the larger number of them be

ing in California. The stories ef4

some of them are pitiful; of others, when ono notes the manner in which these white, free, American men have allowed the Oriental financiers to pull the wool over their eyes, one Is tempted to say, "It serves them right." Merely Stepping Stone The local co-operative marketing association, however. Is merely a small stepping-stone to the promoters of the new control of all American farm products. So far as the writer has been able to observe, the original local associations are good things for the farmers. Owned and operated by men who are or have been close to the soil, ii would be

1 difficult for an outsider to obtain stock in one of them, and almost im- : possible for him to put himself in a i directing position in one. But dis- : sension Is ever the torpedo of the Jewish submarine In America. So today there are working among these local associations In California men

; whose business It is to make the co- ' operative dissatisfied and to Implant

i the idea that the manager of the as-

; sociation needs to know nothing of

1 1 farm production or of the things pro-

operative" associations is $ 10,000 a

year.

The maximum of which the writer

has been able to find an authentic record is $50,000.

Obviously, the businesslike way to.

pay these managers would be by

commission on the business they

handle, and to eliminate the man

agers and other officials of the branches, who are about as unnecessary a? a belt with suspenders. Incidentally, the sales manager of one of the largest regional associations In California was a woman, a stenographer, whose only claim to ability was that she was a friend of the manager. When this manager was ousted, in a fruitless attempt to break the Jewish grip on this association, the lady went with him. Before she went, a persistent lawyer compelled her to admit that she had received $5,000 from an eastern fruit-handling firm, but to save her life the poor lady could not remember what she had done to earn this sum. That five thousand dollars

ultimately came out of the pockets of the members of this association. Costly, Cumbersome, Inefficient Now then, we have carried the plan by which the American farmer is being "organized" to the point at which the regional association has bound together all its branches. A costly, cumbersome, usually inefficient, and always extravagant organization is functioning, not for the benefit of the farmer, but for the benefit of the promoters, for the lesser lights of Jewry who surround them, and for the Gentiles who, for money or for other reasons, have become the human camouflage for the operations of the originators of the new form of "co-operative marketing." But the end is not yet. A huge advertising campaign, ranging in cost from $100,000 to $2,000,000 a year is "voted" by directors, the majority of whom are chosen by the promoters of this great co-operative advancement for the farmers. The local associations in the old days sold all their production without advertising and at a price which returned a better profit than any they have received from the new branches under the regional associations. Yet here they are called on to add to their other burdens the payment of a tremendous and" in the main unnecessary bill for advertising. Who handles this advertising? Ask Mr. Lasker. Ask-Mr. Horig, of the Honig-Cooper Company, San Francisco. They know. And maybe they could tell why only certain publications bid for this advertislns.

barred from the -orchard when this

plum tree is shaken. These advertising gentlemen are of the same nationality as the promoters of the new co-operation among the farmers of America. So are the advertising managers of the majority of the magazines and newspapers which divide the advertising funds from these associations. Both of the advertising companies which handle these funds have their Gentile "fronts," too, and, unless you are one of the two unlost tribes, you'll have a lot of trouble seeing either one of the principals in the firms, though you'll meet a lot of young Aemrican men in their offices. Jewish Canner Enters Enters now, also, the Jewish canner and packer of fruits and vegetables. There is always a certain amount of second-class fruit and

vegetables around the packing houses of these co-operative associa

tions. Some of it isn't so second

class either, but if the canner be "in right" he gets it all for the price of the seconds. That's good Business for everybody except the farmer. It keeps the favored canner at the door

buying seconds; in fact, he is a so

pened m more than one instance.

If this strain of payment to Jewry for the permission to work ten or twelve hours a day on his farm or in his orchard, puts the farmer flat

on his back financially, a group of banks stands ready to make any necessary loan at the regular rate of interest. This loan (be sure to understand this clearly, because it is important) is not made to the farmer on his land, or on his reputation, or on his character, or on his note, but to the whole association. This

means that every man or woman in

that association, every member of

every branch of that association, is responsible, and all his or her land

is responsible, ror the money so

loaned. John Johnson may be able being an intelligent. trainedagricul-

turist, to make his farm pay, despite the Incubus of the modern co-opera

tive association, but that does not free John from having to pay Bill

Smith's debts if Bill, being an in competent, shiftless or lazy "co-op

erator, fails to pay the money he

borrowed through the association. Who Gets the Money! JuBt lay down this paper for

We now proceed to the next step

Jewish organization; have been won over to the side of the "organizers," sometimes by devious means; or

have been forced to leave the local j associations, through the efforts of; Gentile "fronts" well and wisely j "planted" in such organizations. Reports that all was not and is! not well with these new-style co- i operative marketing association, ' however, have spread to other and j unorganized areas, and to other and;

unconvinced groups of agriculturists, with the result that, within the past year, there has been a marked indication of delay in the acceptance of the doctrines put forth by those seeking to get the control of the farmer's production away from the farmer. That my readers may understand fully this effort. to control, direct and regulate every farmer in America, and to take from him the profits of his labor without giving him adequate return, it is necessary to consider for a moment the forms of cooperation in existence prior to the Jewish movement on American agriculture. Co-operative marketing is the child of co-operative buying, and co-operative buying is almost as old, in one form or another, as accurate history. The Greeks knew the idea; the Phoenicians practiced it; the Egyptians were familiar with it. It came to America through Denmark and Sweden, was improved in this country and went back to Europe. It is a success, wherever it Is tried- by honest men, because quantity buying reduces cost. The co-operative selling plan is not a success mainly for the reason that quantity selling automatically re- , duces the sale price, the converse of

the reason for the slucess of the operative buying plan.

Reversed Plans Fail Based on the instant success of co-operative, or community, or quantity-buying -- whichever you choose to call it men and women who had been benefited by this means of purchasing their necessities un

dertook to sell the production of their own hands and lands by reversing the method they had used in their buying organizations. This reversal, without a complete reorganization of their merchandizing methods, did not succeed. It is a matter of record that the first co-operative marketing attempts almost uniformly resulted in failure. When the producers learned that, in buying quantities of a number of commodities, the buyer virtually can dictate prices, but that in selling quantities of one commodity it is the buyer, not the seller, who makes the price, the co-operative associations began to function. With a few notable exceptions such as the milk and cheese associations In Wisconsin and other middle west states, and the orange growers of southern California, for example co-operative marketing organizations today are successful only when t-' members are comparatively

duced, so long as he is a "sales

man." When such dissension has'been accomplished, there Is always ready the hand-picked man to handle the job, bring the quarreling members together, reorganize the association, plunge it into debt if it is not already there, draw it Into the national web of associations, and then turn it over, signed, sealed and delivered, to the higher Jewish control. This has been done a dozen

times among the deciduous fruit j growers of California. It is today being attempted among the potato growers of the entire nation. It was done with the tobacco growers of Kentucky, and the cotton growers of the southern states. It would require a volume the size of the dictionary to tell even briefly the schemes that have been used to disrupt, reorganize, refinance with various methods of financing, and then hold helpless these local associations of producers of virtually every crop that comes from the soil in the United States. Now a similar invasion of Canada has been commenced. The local association being so made ready for further operations by these doctors of farm finance, a number of locals handling the same or klrtdred products are organized into a county, state, or regional association. Into each local is Injected a manager, usually a Gentile, but always a man who is bound by some

heavy cable to the promoters of the! national organization. It is the! business of 07 of the promoters to keep these cables taut. 4 ! Men of Titles Expensive" j To . these managers are added s- j sistant managers, office managers, j sales managers, transportation man-j agers, advertising managers, pub j icity directors, field agents, and

applied to one local association; for: the . promoters know to a German!

: mark Just how much the traffic will j bear. But never forget this the i farmer pays the bill. One of the ' promoters occupies the responsible I and fully remunerative position of

legal adviser to every association, local as well as regional. With the local associations which, during the reorganization, re-financing, re-officering process, have been changed from "locals" to "branches" the formation of the county, state or regional association goes on. Here are provided elaborate headquarters, at high rent, and1 here, at high salaries, are placed the same kiml of "officials" provided for the locals. Where the manager of the local association, prior to the introduction of the non-farming, nonproducing agricultural expert, served for a salary commensurate with the value received for the products of his fellow-members of the association, the manager of the new association receives a salary proportionate to his ability to hold the regional association and its branches In line under the ner plan. The average minimum salary 'of the managers of these regional "co-

When the county, state or regional

associations have been formed, and

are worKing to the full extent of the amount the farmer can pay, It is the

pian or the promoters of the whole scheme to combine all these associations into one national association of each kind. That is to sav. there will

be one national association of peach growers, one of apple producers, one of cabbage farmers, another of wheat raisers, and so on down the list.

une must admit that there are

some possibilities in this idea, when

it is figured that, in addition to the fat jobs in the branches and the

regional associations, all these offices

must De duplicated in the national organizations as well. Incidentally each national association also will have to have a "legal adviser." iust

like the regional associations have. Now if this legal adviser took from

one small regional association $51,-

wuu ior iees m one year, as he did,

now much can he get from one national association? And if there are some twenty-five to thirty national associations, how much will he get from all of them? Only time and the perfect "co-operation" of the American farmer with his Jewish exploiters can answer.

the only one of these national or

ganizations that is in process of being formed is that of the potato producers. From Maine to Wn qh In ptnn

and from Minnesota to Texas tho

outriders of these self-a nnninf or!

saviors of the American farmer are wording with the potato growers of the nation. The tobacco growers of the upper South have been fairly well organized, and the area of this crop production is so well defined in the United States that their organization is virtually national in scope today. The cotton producers of the farther South are about 85 per cent organized in what amounts to a national organization. In California, where the larger part of the prunes and apricots of this country are growa, the producers of these fruits are .collected into a regional association which is to all practical purposes national, though this association is today in a chaotic condition. Those able workers whn n-n ho

spared from the potato fields are beginning to get out among the wheat growers and with the aid of certain men of national reputation such, for example, as Senator Borah who possibly knows nothing of the real organization back of this movement, are making some headway in "lining up" the wheat farmers of the nation. Farmer Not In Control And the end is not yet The writer has reason to know, from sources which .are unimpeachable that when the farmers of America have been' organized into national associations, the men who control these associations will be united in one national organization. And the men who control this Buner-asi,.

tion, this Jew-directed holding com-

pmy ior an tne rarmers of America will not be the farmers of America' The farmer or fruit grower or vegetable producer who Is so unfortunate as to be in this endless chain of so-called co-operative marketing associations barely controls his own life. He has a weak voice in the tiny branch association to which he belongs, yet which is ruled by agents

of the promoters of the scheme, and even his crop and his land la subject to loans of money to other men whom he may not even- know. "When his crop Is delivered to the branch association, it is lost to him, as far as control or direction of selling is concerned. The prices which the food producers of this nation receive through these new co-operative associations has nothing to do with the local associations which are functioning without Jewish "aid." But, while the tillers of the soil are thinking of their own personal incomes and expenses through such associations, it would be well for the.m also to consider the legal aspects of the regional associations, the national associations, and the national or international, as the case may be, holding company, for which, as I have said, definite plans have been laid. There is not a doubt in the mind of the writer, who has ob

tained tne opinions of some of the best corporation attorneys in this country, that not only the proposed national holding company, but the national associations, and even some of the state or regional associations.

are operating in direct violation of

tne taws of this nation and of sev eral of the states. Laws Changed

in tact, in California, where the

proponent of this whole idea was

started on his way by a state official, it was found necessary to

cnange certain state laws so that

these associations could function beyond the local or branch stage. Even with all this clever aid. put through the legislature by Jewish attorneys, the superior court of Santa Clara County, no later than last winter, declared void the amendment to the state civil code which gives

co-operative marketing association the right to enforce crop contracts with their members. The court held the amendment to be class legislation and, therefore, a violation of th

constitution of the state. This Is merely the irst warning that these associations are monopolies, and" that their members are as amenable to the law governing attempts at tho restraint of trade, coercion and. similar offenses, as are other organizations. Nor is this alL. The lure held out to the farmers to induce them to surrender their freedom of production, distribution and sale to these new associations is that the producer can fix the price of his product, meanwhile maintaining the demand, or market, for it. There are other attractive baits offered to the farmers by these promoters, but this, though economically unsound, is the first and apparently the most influential. The very attempt to put the farmers provided the farmers were allowed to control their own output in a position to do this pricefixing and to maintain the demand for their production, would make of the association a monopoly. This constitutes a very real and dangerous menace, a monopolistic trap, baited with co-operation, for the farmer.
