FARMERS’ COMBINATIONS. Iv does not escape atom ton farmers are taking much more kindly to the idea of combination than - hey did a few years ago. It was not. long in lln- past that you could with great difficuby get farmers into cooperative schemes of marketing, etc. They were afraid some one would get too big a salary or prove dishonest or In capable. As an illustration of the greater friendliness cf the fariuar <0 coopera Con, a dispatch from Lancaster, Penna, was interesting. It told how the tobacco growers of (hat couu y hav\j just held the largest meeting o their history, and have trganized a stock company to buy, pack, and sell dhe tobacco of ♦he county. Twelve hundred growers got together and quickly subscribed OQOj Tly.i could not have 'happened ten years ago. Tiie genera! public looks on such movements with some suspicion. If re. pards them as probably movements tc gel higher prices. A this meeting it wps noted that all the growers were anxious to learn how they could get higher figures for their product. Bv.'' tiiat end of the proposition will take rartl of itself. There will al ways be competition in raising farm products. No combination of growers can keep prices up artifically. The main thing Is that the fanners dhall get 1 the idea of cooperating in efforts to do things on large and standard ed scales. That must inevitably lend lo reduce costs and prove of benefit ba h to producers end consumers. <■ plans and yiat they set a re < to help (hese unfortunates to gular day tor ‘‘Reducton Pledge Ihomes and pay their wav back Day."
