It is reported that 17 oat agents are to work in the county of Lenawee. Time and again has the Record warned its readers against this gigantio swindle. This is not mere newspaper talk. We know that in other staten where the swindle has been wored farmhave lost money. We know that to ask ten dollars for flfty cent oats, is an attempt to defraud the farmer. The farmer ought to know this to. He should not listen to the oily tongued agent who tells him how he can beoome wealthy by buy. ing oats at ten dollars a bushel. This is the way to become poor, to pay twenty times what a thing is worth. No matter if caah is not asked, a note against a farmer who owns his farm, is about as good as oash. And this note in the hands of a third party can be collected, without any referenee to the contract made with the oily tongued agent. The bottom will fall out of this gigantic fraud soon, and every farmer who has been bitten, will be out the amount of the notes he signed.- Adrián Record. These same chapa have been working Wa8htenaw county, and the farmers who have listened to their sed active talk and been swindled, have no one to blame but themselves, for the press long ago exposed this gigantic fraud. The idea of getting someting for nothing.
