The most common, most ignorant and blinded of the farmers will have sense enough to see this, if they will only stop a moment to. think. - The price of land is steadily advant' cing, the humesteads and free lands will soon be a thing fo'rever‘passed away. The march of progress is com- pelling the farmer to invest in modern machinery, Such as binders, drills, disks, mowing machines, etc. All off these things have high prices attached ' to them, and require the investment of considerable capital. With all of these things necessary on the smallest? of the small farms in the middle west, the farmer finds himself in need of an other quarter section in order to use them to good advantage. [Of course, to get the other quarter section will cost ~him from $16 to $40 per acre, which means several thousand dollars. - Here we find- that the private own- ership of land with the high prices is a great hindrance in the farmers’ road to success and happiness. Many boys reared to manhood on eastern farms are forced by "the high prices of land in the East to abandon the hape of ever owning a farm in the land of their childhood. The plucky ones come west, only to find that the extensive manner in which farming is carried of any use, but“ they’ve been reliable, ‘ trustworthy, dependable, every minute since I bought them [Every Socialist should ponder well! the following article by Comrade Cran- dell. It is the best and most convinc- ing article I have seen: for a long time, as to the necessity of the social own- ership of the land for the prevention of the exploitation of .farmers.â€"4Ed.) Almost all of the farmers know that they are undergoing a beautiful fleec- ing. They realize to-day that there is a very high price attached to nearly everything they have to buy. While, on the other hand, there are in a few cases seemingly fair prices paid for the farmers” products, they are after all nothing to be compared to the outâ€" of-sight figures he is compelled to pay for such things as he findsnecessary in his business. Farm machinery is out of sight entirely. Coal is high; lumber is higher; groceries and pro- visions, such as products of the can- ning and packing companies, are high and still going up. Almost every farmer knows that private ownership of the various in- dustries is responsible for the high prices he is forced to pay. Most fann- ers believe in public ownership of the mines. the railroads, the elevators, the express companies, the banks, etc. You start and talk to a farmer about That is something that we try to have true of every shoe. that we sell.
