HIS is the time of the year when we all hope to
turn from some of our bad habits. We want to
turn over new leaves and forget the mistakes
of the past and hope for a better life page at
!^.the end of the year.
'Tis human to err and there is room for improvement
all of us. Many of ourwith the most of us even
errors are not due to our own sinful natures, but to our
surroundings—the conditions that hedge us 'round.
Many times we are obliged to do things which we very
much regret to do, but there is ho way to avoid .it.
&& One of the bad habits the farmers of this state have
is that of paying ten and twelve per cent interest to
banks for their credits. True, this is not all their faulty
and many have resolved to quit it. But such resolutions^
are ineffective unless made strong by the collective reso
lution of all the farmers. All must join in the resolu
tion and then all must join in making the resolution ef-|||.
fective by removing the conditions which prevent carry-^|

Another bad habit a good many of us have, is that
of putting too much faith in what the controlled press
has to say. We must watch closely and guard carefully
and learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.
We must also resolve in our hearts to turn a deaf
ear to the siren song of the professional politician.
This habit has been fruitful of much disappointment
and grief to the farmers in the state. Let's resolve to
cut it out.
finally, let us resolve to stick together. That i's
the only way out of the wildernness. Depose the self
appointed leaders, who set themselves up as saviors of
the farmers, and guide ourselves. United we can stand
against the whole gang divided we will be preyed upon
in the future just as we have in the past. The salvation
of the farmers of this state and the whole nation, for y
that matter, depends upon them sticking together—just/
as the representatives of other great interests stick
