Show WHOOP IT UP BOYS bood for the iowa farmers they have started something that should have been done long ago weary of raising farm products for less than the cost of production they instituted a farm strike against such paralyzing conditions and agreed to withhold the sale of their products for thirty days the purpose being to force a rise in the price level doubtless some people will register a protest clalvin claiming that it is keeping food from f rom the mouths of women and children but that would be bunk if the farmers over the country should join the movement and a shortage in food commodities should occur the women and children can readily be fed by paying the farmers a reasonable price for their products we applaud the farmers who have nei nerve enough I 1 h to institute such a sensible program we wish them success we hope other farmers throughout the country join the procession until the farmer and the stock raiser is on a protia par with all other lines of legitimate endeavor the farmers can not be expected to starve to death in order to feed others for little or nothing |
