1FARMER ENTITLED :

TA 1IIIIIW- ii i ru II IU "Will It ALLtl ISN'T GETTING IT By WILLIAM R. SANBORN j The American farmer should be trated as a manufacturer, and the farm 'business of the country be ranked as a great manufacturing Industry, the largest and by all odds the most Important of the. group. Its products are the most essential; they are "basic; the foundation upon which the entire superstructure of life and of world commerce are founded. The farmer makes a blend of seed and soil and labor, and behold wheat and corn, all the grains and grasses, the cotton and all its resultant by-products, the fruits of a million orchards, and the berries upon a million acres. His outturn includes the raw wool and leathers of the world, the meats and vegetables of civilization; nearly all the raw materials in fact that are absolutely essential to life In the temperate zones. Viewed as a manufacturing proposition the farmer should have much to say as to the price of his output. This is the logical conclusion, and one not to be overlooked. His products have value; they cost months of time, perhaps years, and much labor and experience to produce. And the investment in the land, the cost of upkeep and betterments, the depreciation on buildings and the wear and tear on tools and machinery. What of all of these, and of the inter est on debt and investment? Takes What's Offered. ' So far as we have discovered, the farmer is the only manufacturer of raw, or of any other kind of a product, that takeB just what the other fellow is inclined to pay, or fails to

V market. We are speaking in a broad sense, not merely as to individuals but as to the farm industry as a whole and in normal times and years. But not all the products of the farm are "raw material"; far different. The fruits and berries, the melons and vegetables, the dressed poultry in season, the home cured hams' and bacon, which many sell in a limited way, and the eggs which so largely -supplies the farm wife with market

money; all of tljse are "finished" products, .ready for consumption, and Just so too, as to butter, cream, milk and honey. Break In Live Stock. Take the recent smash in prices of live stock, notably of hogs and the medium grades of cattle, also calves and sheep. Not a single farmer any where had a thing to say as to what has happened to his product, nor

would any kind of a protest Lave added a copper to his reenue, once his wares were headed for market. Bear in mind that all feeds have been relatively high for a long time and that right here in Wayne, for example, old corn has sold on the farm within a few weeks, at auction, at $2.25 to $2.40 per bushel. Recently marketed hogs were fed on this basis of cost. Talk of the markets as we may, simple equity would insure that the producer would have had some show for his white alley, regardless of tempo- . rary circumstances or the manipulation of the great speculative intedests. But the farmers' hogs have been simply chips or markers in this gigantic game, in which the farmer has merely been the bewildered looker on. Neither packer, broker or consumer fjs have taken him into account, and truth to tell tho consumer has thus far only saved cents where the hog raiser has lost dollars, more's the pity, for a real cut in the price of pork roasts, lard, hams and bacon would be greeted with popular acclaim. True, we have had some reductions in price, but not enough to greatly relieve the strain. Makers of Prices. The various farm federations are the outgrowth of farm price conditions; they have come into being because of just what we have been illustrating, not merely as to the results just considered, but because of the experience of years. Speculators have made the prices of grain to suit the season and crops, and packers have made the prices on all classes of live stock, regardless, up to the days of war legislation and restrictions. The produce commission men have made the prices on berries, vegetables and all kinds of fruits and frequently their figures have been too low to cover cost of picking, packages and freight, notably as to grapes, peaches, berries and melons in the large cities, not so many years ago. Every thinking man is aware that the growth of the Grange movement, of the various farm and live stock associations, werenot the outgrowth of greed, but were born of the desire to be ablo to live comfortably, to get an equivalent for labor and production, and often in tho hope of finally belns able to pay off the mortgage.

working early and late. No one denies that of late years the farmer has prospered, and that through Improved methods of farming, the knowledge gained by experience, the help of the national agricultural department and the research and experiments of the state institutions, he has broadened his vision and improved his methods. But this does not affect our statement an lota. He does not fix a price on his chief crops, nor even set a price on his eggs or poultry, either in whole or In part, nor on his homemade butter or on the cream that goes to the butter maker. You will observe however, that the creamery man sets the price of butter and you take it or Jeave It. Aside from spring water and fresh air this applies to the consumer of everything which he Is unable to produce for himself, from toothpicks to tractors, in every market and everywhere that men trade for a profit. Both Buyer and Seller. The farmer is a large buyer as well as seller. He finds the prices of the articles he needs fixed. The charges cover all the costs and profits from the raw material to the distributor with whom he deals, and this is inevitable if these men are to stay in business. The farmer has long planned and endeavored to do this very thing with his own output, but has so far failed. He is a great gambler, this farmer cf ours. He gambles with the weather man, with all the elements of nature, with flood and drouth, with bugs and a myriad of pests, he risks late and early frosts and burning mid-summer suns. But at that he is up and coming, or has already arrived, he has plenty to eat and to spare, in the main, and every year. The cry "Get Back to the Soil" has not yet lost charm. But what soil? Before Jumping the flat or cottage and pay envelope let us consider the cost of land, of implements, of livestock, of many things indeed to bo found essential to the making of a modest living, even were the land a gracious gift. The farmer has a real job, however. It is a Bteady job, and there Is no double pay for overtime or Sundays. The farmer is his own boss and paymaster. His crops grow and his cattle take on weight while he sleeps. Once well started and dilligent in his business, the world is his oyster. If he does not enjoy every modest comfort in life it is because he fails to reach out and grasp them, for every essential to good and proper living is his to command. But at that he has never been able to set a p. 'ce on his surplus, and possibly never will be. Farm Sale Calendar Friday, October 31.

HOW TO DARKEN GRAY HAIR A Cincinnati Barber Telle How to Make a Remedy for Gray Hair. Mr. Frank Harbaugh. of Cincinnati, Ohio, who has been a barber for more than forty years, recently made the following statement: "Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make It soft and glossy. To a half-pint ct water add 1 ounce bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and 4 ounce glycerine. The?e ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger. It is easy to use, does not color the most delicate scalp, is not sticky or greary and does not rub off." Adv. Quality of ANN'S Yotingllesb
