We all know that farmers are not getting high enough prices for their products, but is that any reason for trying to keep labor from getting the wages and hours they should have? When our leaders wake up to the fact that high priced labor, well em- ployed, makes for farm prosperity, then we will get somewhere. The co-operative movement is es- sentially a liberal movement, but most of our leaders are so conserva- tive that it hurts. Unless we begin to think as liberals and stop playing politics, we will never go far in the co-operative movement. 3,500' FARM BUREAU folk of Bay, Saginaw and Tuscola counties attended the annual Your publication of this letter in picnic at Hoernlein's grove, near Saginaw, AUg. 17.
