The Big Dog
Gets the Bone
I
■ I
It is passing strange teat there is not
a more fraternal spiri t prevailing am
ong the farmers and the consumers,
and between the two classes.
Because of their lack of organization
I they are being plundered bv the robber 1
1 middlemen and trusts —scientifically
picked to the marrow.
Did yon evet throw a bone out to a
little dog and then watch a dozen big
dogs pounee upon it? And did you take (
note of the little fellow’s pained look |,
as he watched his meal fade away?
The consumer and the farmer are in ■
much the same position as the little I,
dog and its master. . I 1
There are too many big dogs around. ;
In other words, instead of having |
farm products take a short cut from |
the producer to the conssmer, either I
direct or via the retailer, they pass j
through the hands of numerous middle
men, all of whom slice oft’ abnormal
profits and boost the price sky high 1
before the consumer ever gets a taste. ,
Middlemen will have their pound of ।
fiesh, whether the producer and the re- | J
tailer gets anything or not. And often I ,
produce juknets around from one big ;
dog to another until the price mounts j
so high the robbers must get their ad
ditional plunder by lopping off the leg- '
itimate profits that are due the farmer.
Too much big dog and not enough ■
bone!
The average farmer is keen upon
chasing the big dogs away from his <
little one, but through force of habit he ; '
just about lets the middlemen and the ’ '
trusts rob him of even the socks he I 1
stands in. He has been soaked and \
gouged and fleeced and swindled and 1
plundered until some one comes along
with a sane plan for kicking the buz- j
zards into the discard and marketing I
his products without trebling and quad-;
rupling their cost to the consumer.
Down among the Florida fruit grow
era the big dog got the bone for a good
many years, until some fellow with
brains advanced the idea of a fruit
growers’ organization. Os course, like ■
everything elee new, it was poo-hoped I
at fir a, b-Rnowthe members of that!
organization ate getting good prices I

for their fruit, their crops are market
ed by the organization, they are sure
of their money, and the consumer gets
his fruit at a reasonable price.
Many little dogs can lick a big one,
and in like manner consistent organiza
tion can do wonders for the farmer and
the consumer
Middlemen and trusts are big dogs.
They are hungry—ravenously hungry
—and will continue to gobble every
thing in sight until the farmer arises
in his might and thunders* a mighty
