{Continued from first rage.)
So it appears that all this oratory and
oral promises that these sellers give the
farmer, and all those brilliant advertise-
ments that take up 75 per cent, of the
space io the agricultural papers, are con-
sidered as a joke in the eyes of the law

must have a mber of the best

machines are so complicated that it is
utterly impossible for me to study and
learn the mechanical science of all the
machinery on the market before I go to
buy. When I go on the market to buy
every seller claims his machingés superi-

must trust somebody and take their
word, Whe go to buy 1 know very
well what kind of a machine I want, but
if a seller comes to me and tells me he
has just the verv kind of a machine I
want, and tells me it must be right or he
will not let me keep it, and works the
confidence game to an extent that would
put the average gold brick swindler to
shame, until I will agree to try out his

buying and I have lost control of my

I was informed by attorneys that we
have laws on our statute books making
it a misdemeanor for a seller to misrep-
resent the goods he sells, but we have
no laws to prevent a seller from appeals
ing to the courts on a claim of an uncop-
ditional sale if he gets caught on mis-
representation.
Ever since I had been shown how easy
it was for a seller to Appeal to the court
ov a claim of unconditional sale and get
his pay I have given this matter much
thought, as this has removed the last
straw of protection the farmer had in
buying, and I now have a plan that I
believe will eliminate this conflaence
game method of buying farm supplies
and will protect the farmer against bes
ing swindled, and will put the farmer in
a position that he can buy more intelli-
gently, This plan is through a purely
business organization and to make it the
most effective and economical to oper
ate, every farmer in the United States
should cooperate, :
I would be pleased to dischiss the mat-
ter with farmers that are interested in
eliminating this abominable® confidence
game method of buying asap atppliog.
