The co-operative move- ment among the farmers is not con- fined to Canada alone and, judg~ ing from reports from other coun- tries, the business of farming in Canada is no worse than in other parts of the world. Indeed, if one may judge by the literature passed out, the Canadian agriculturist is better of! generally than his bro- ther in the United States to the south of us, and the following from The Youth’s Companion of June 4 should make interesting reading for those engaged in the business or interested in it. Under the heading, “The Future of Farm- ing,” The Companion says: I'UIVII vac-v vvvvv thod is the only one to adopt if their particular business is to suc- ceed. Locally, when any co-opera- tive method is mentioned, we are liable to confound it with the pres- ent co‘operative marketing scheme of the farmers, but the truth of the matter is that the farmers are merely following in the footsteps of other industry, and the co-Opera- tive method of marketing is but a scheme of the agriculturists to get their products on the market as cheaply as possible, thereby saving for themselves some of the fruits of their industry which they do not “Almost everyOne who has a first-hand knowledge of the prob- lems that face the farmer is wor- ried by the situation. The immed- iate trouble, as every farmer knows, is the fact that the things he raises to sell have not risen in price as fast as the things he has to buy; some of them have not risen at THE FUTURE OF FARMING Today is said to be the day of coâ€"operation. Business men, fan- ufacturers, farmers and laborers are gradually coming to the con- clusion that the coâ€"operative me- thod is the only one to adopt if all. Through an unexpected con- junction of circumstances, his cm- dition is better just at present than he had reason a year ago to fear that it would be; but it is contrary to all reason to expect that his own crops will continue to be good while VJVrU v' the cr0ps in other lands continue to be poor. If the farmer is to be moderately prosperous and con- tented, if our agriculture is to be established on aofirm and depend- able basis, something has got to be done to make his income cover the high cost of the tools, the clothing and the provisions he needs and the taxes and transportation charges he has to pay. -.v u-“â€" “One public man who has given a great deal of thought to the situa- tion is former Governor .Lowden of Illinois, who is a practical farmer, IIIIIIUID’ " ‘lu ‘0 I». y."VV.V.'- .w-â€" v a successful business man and an experienced politician. He said very plainly in a recent speech that our agriculture is decaying before our eyes, though the nation at large does not grasp the fact; and he be- lieves it will continue to decay un- less farmers adopt the business principles and the business methods that have made other industries prosperous. His prescription is co- operative association for marketing the wheat. the hogs, the fruit and the dairy products that the farm- ers raise. Such associations he believes will protect the individual farmers against dumping their crops all at once on the self-same market and enable them to get the best prices that an intelligently controlled supply of focdstufl's can bring. miledtoan mmmu the rate of .00 per your am for six months. 50 is . or three months.

There are some men. economists and business men. who advise the farmer to go the whole way in industrial organ- ization. They believe that agri- culture will never be prosperous unless it is carried on lilge other industries, under corporated man- agement. There is one such great wheat raising corporation already established in Montana, which through large-scale operations and a general use of mechanical power is showing a moderate cost of pro- duction and consequent profits. But Governor Lowden thinks-â€"and most people will agree with himâ€"that to industrialize agriculture in this way and so to cause the disappear- ance of the individual farmer, cul- tivating his own acres, would be an unfortunate, perhaps a fatal. thing for our social stratum. .

The story is built around a mys- tery situation deftly handled by Di- rector 'Irvingfiummings who made “Fools Highway." It involves the exploits of a notorious free lance crook known as the “Eel," whose adventures prove a puzzle to the police, and the gang which rules the underworld.
