Suggestions for Relief of Farmers by Local Tactics
The Bancroft Register reports Thoreson of Swea City, a Farmers Elevator director, presents practical farm relief ideas requiring little new law or effort.

Thoreson urges farmers to improve farming methods and quality demand over legislative change.
