After sumraleg up the whole sit - •'ration I concluded that we needed a marketing association. After mak- ing a very thorough investigation I touind that the American Sociey of )quity, with the secretary's ofice at Wausau, Wis., was the only as- socilaiton of feathers that was making a -specialty of handling ilhei farmers' grain in the terminal market at S uperior, Duluth and Minneapolis; doing business under the name of the Equity Co-operative exchange and endorsed by the Farmers' Ele - vator association , of North Dakota and the Farmers' & Grain Dealers' association of South Dakota. I also found that it was the oldest market- ing association in the United States, being a pioneer In the marketing 'business and a national association 'working through state, county end community associations. • Whey also have markets for live- stock, Wool and all other farmers' eyroducts. ' I wrote to the\ secretary of the association. to see if they would send ken organizer to this locality and he wrote me that they would as soon as they had one available.

As !WW1 as the manager of a line ele- vator at Geyer found it out he of- fered them from four to five cents per bushel more for their grain than he was paying at Geyser.

Or boa- the state It would amount to over $1,000,000. It is up to the' farmers to organ - ize and co-operate in their 'efforts to get what is coming to them. Followlag are extracts taken) from two letters, one of Nov. 26 and the other of Dec. 17, 1912. The letters are issued by authority Of the sec- eetary of agriculture and are exactly In accord with the principals advo - catted by and being carried out by the American Society of Equity. The ttrst is under athe heading of \Need - for Co-operative Action?' \It is absolutely clear, that be - fore the problems of rural credit and of marketing the individual farmer, acting alone, is helpless. Co operation is absolutely essentlel. The same business sense and the same organizing genius which have placed this nation lin the front rank in in: dostry must be evoked for agrtcal- lure, 1 \It must associate itself with some particular product which is more or less capable of being standardized, end the object must be 'to overeolne some epecific difficulty. It 40.8 without, saying that the members of She . co-operative society mush ba the Ones who are bona fide produraers and that every approach of the ex - ploiter meet be aggresively repelled. The object,, must be specifically eco - comic end hot remotely pollitleal.'1 In the letter of Dee. 17, tinder the head of \Marketioa we read: \One chapter of the report is de- voted to the subject of marketing. We have suddenly been brought face to face with the 'fact thatt In many directions further production waits on 'better methods of distribution, ;Nal (that ,the field of distributien, pre- se, problems which raise in very ;grave /l ways the simole issue of jug - /lee. That wilder existing eonditions the farmer does not get what he should for his produtitathat the con - owner is required to Nor ina 11 ,0 1 fir price, and that mercenary 'eliding ore imposed under exiatingl systems of distribution, there can be no ques- tion. The aim should be an ecor- polmte arrangement which shall faeili- 'betel production and lead the pro- ducer to standardize anti to find the readiest and best market for his pro- duct. Such action will result la. gain to the producer, as well as zo ,Pht) coniumer.\ The above ;let; ers will be a great ,nelp to the Society of Equity in ,C,arrying on , their work, i I believe thee the farmers of Montana., are very fortunate in having a national association .with aims and principles e il be American Society of Equity of which they can become members and by co-operating aand working to- gether end with the assistance of the secretary of agrieuleare there Is ttemoat no limit to what can be ac- oothplished.

They produced with few; exeeptiona, ttil that was needed in country life in the way of food, data - 118,1 shelter, 11,nd the implements needful to their production. A difrerent line of action has eome times been proposed as an alterna- t1vE0 to organizatica on the part of farther% they are asked to become aelf-satticient. 'The farmer is to at - taia this 'by becoming the consumer bf his .own products. He thue rids himseltf of dependency on corpora- tion's. Thia is rather an absurd propoge tion.

Coroner Creel left this moaning to investigate. tAs far as known now the dead man is a stranger in this country. and is unknown.
