Mr. Fanner:
Wc have always dealt -with our patrons in a.
fair, square, open and above board fashion,
giving you the best 'possible price for your
produce and selling you goods at the lowest
possible margin of profit.
We believe in "putting all the cards on the table"
Our competitors have advanced the price of
cream five cents above the station price in
order to attract attention to this particular
item, using this as a bait to get your business
coming their way after which the price can
easily be adjusted to normal.
We pay you as much as you can get any where
By mis-leading advertisements you might be
lead to believe that our competitors are pay
ing more for your produce than the Farmers
Union, but this is not truc-WE POSITIVELY
PAY YOU AS MUCH AS ANYBODY and
what profit we make is paid back in dividends.
It is a splendid idea for the farmer who has
had any differences occur in his tests, to
weigh his cream before he takes it to a station.
It is possible for an advanced test to be given
by deducting.from your weight, which is very
misleading to the patron.
The Farmers Union

The Farmer on the Side Road
"What good will a modern road do
mo If It don't como to my placo?"
Hero Is a question which Inevitably
comes from the farmer on tho side road
when liu Is ashed to support a move
ment for permanent construction ou
tho main highways In his county. The
farmer has nn undoubted right to ask
this question, since licMs a part of the
county's citizenship, He has nn un
doubted right to an nnswer which real
ly answors his question because, under
our systom of taxation, ho will be re
quired to pay proportionally on the
same basis as the man whoso farm faces
tho road to be improved.
At first glance this would appear an
unequal taxation since tho road on
which tho money is to bo spent does
not run by his placo. Hut this is an
apparent injustice only. It Is not real.
Our system of taxation has been work
ed out, so far as wo have gone, along
lines of equal justice to all. It is only
in the misapplication of funds raised
by fair taxation that unfairness ap
parently begins in this matter of road
improvement.
Tho fact should be kept in mind
that roads uro not improved to increase
laud valuos, Uoads are improved pri
marily to lessen diillcultics in hauling
farm products to market, to save time
and wear on toams ami Harness or
autotnobllos, and to avoid further ex
penso In road repairs Too often tho
idea prevails witli the man on the sido
road that because the proposed road
will not run by his place ho will have
no opportunity of sharing in the in
creased farm land values. This idea
that the only way to gut returns for
money spent ou modem muds is thru
lui'i eased hind values is erroneous.
True, tho permanent removal of dlfll
cultles in reaching market makes a
farm worth more, not because it can
produce more, but boeauso what it
does produce can be marketed quicker
and with a greater decree of ease and
cortalnty regardless of weuther condi
tions. Tho maikotlug diillcultics In
the way of the fanner on the sido road
uro removed as surely for hhu tho mo
ment ho strikes tho main road as they
are for the farmer wtioso lands front1.
on tho main ro.nl. He must necessari
ly connect at some point on tho way to
town, and from tho point where he
does connect ho shurus equally with
his neighbors in the advantages gal'ied
in being able to travel back and forth
with greater speed and easier pull on
his teams or motor truck.
If the man on the sido road will stop
to consider, as he should, that a mod
ern road, even though ho may have to
drive a mile or so to teach it, makes
money for hi in in tho timo it savos,
tuat the lessoned strain ou his teams
or motor trucks and consequent re
ductlou of loss by breakage or reduced
gasouno anu uro expense will more
than repay tho slight tax por aore
which he will pay ns his approximate
share of the cost of the new road sys
torn, be will not be so, deeply concern
ed whether his land has been inoreas
od In value or not. 11 o will see that
ho has decreased his hauling expense
to an extent that will more than cover
his proportion of tho cost of tho new
system, and that should bo his main
concern. Any other advantage that
may result, cither in tho increased
value of his land or in the pleasure af
forded by olosor communication with
his neighbors, will be jut that much
extra dividend.
One other point. Where main roads
have been properly built the work will
have been done so well that further
oxpense for repairs will be practically
eliminated. Tlio amount now paid for
annual repairs on main roads muy then
be expended in securing drainage and
grading on side load.
Of courtii1, to the farmer who lias not
yet begun to Uguro thnt his time is
woith so much per day, this arguniont
will not appeal, no matter where ho
lives. Neither will It appeal to the
man who oojecis sinipiy uecauso lie is
by nature against any improvement
which is going to cost money, and who
cloaks his opposition to any progress
under tho only apparently plausible
excuse that he can find, that hoshoutd
not bo asked to aid in paying for a
road which Is a mile or so away from
his farm. He would be just as consist
ent wore he to oppo9o tho building of
a new courthouse, or sohool house,
should either, structure bo several
miles away from his farm.
.,Iiut this argumont should and no
doubt will appeal to tho man on the
side road who Is public-spirited enough
to appreciate an opportunity to work
heartily lu conjunction with his neigh
bors for the ricrmanentf .improvement
of his community. Thoracis much in
being line spirited, and, something of
