armies and cannon had never been.
Within a few days the impossible"
had been accomplished and he and
his army of sixty thousand had
crossed the Alps and were marching
through the plains of Italy. The
possibilities of determined men have
never been measured. The organi-
zatiOn of the farmerS-the tobacco
| growers, is a possibility born of nee
essity. Have the farmers less at
stake, less to accomplish than other
classes? The verdict of the public
is that no class can be benefited
more than they, by discreet, compact
organization. The motives that inn
pei them, the necessity that drives
them, are factors that will give them
strength. The American Tobacco
Company is organized for the added
accumulation of wealth. The farm
ers need to organize for self preser-
walton. Which shall outweigh, the
love of the dollar, or a desire to per
petuate the freedom and liberties
that our fathers gave Is as an in
heritance? Which should make the
stronger appeal to man, the enrich
ing of the few at the expense of the
many or the giving to our families
the comforts of home, educational
and other advantages that rightfully
belong to them. Shall the love of
money make a stronger appeal to
the trust than the love of home and
all that the name carries with it does
to US? AS men we should spurn the
thought. We can master the situa-
ton. We a cross the ALPS" 1t
is not impossible. Nothing that is
possible, is impossible to determined
men. We do not lack the strength,
but the will for we are as strong as
we are determined. The impossible
belong to the weak and v~acillating.
By organization, such as the TO-
bacco Growers ABSORPTION is work
ing for, the tobacco growers a
maintain their position, their self
respect, their manhood. Without
it, in a few years with present ten
denotes, they will have lost much
that our fOrefathers held dear-in-
depence. The picture is not bright,
to be sure, but it would be folly for
US to spread a veil over its hideous-
ness thereby hiding the truth and
dectiving ourselves.
The Association asks the support
of the tobacco growers in the bright
tobacco belt. 1t wants your support.
Can it have it? The strongest APP
peal that I could possibly make to
you would pale beside the appeal
that comes to you from your own
home, from those. who are dependent
on you for the comforts and advan-
tages that an industrious life in a
civilized country entities them to.
Neither would it strike you with the
force that your disappointed hopes
do, when on the warehouse floor
your tobacco is Knocked off to the
only bidder for that grade of tobacco,
at a price that barely covers the cost
of cultivation and often fails to do
that we'll. You are asked to give
your influence to the Association
and help restore the tobacco growers
to the same prosperous condition
that they occupied ten years ago
when they were reckOned among the
most fortunate farmers in the State.
Will not this appeal from the farm
.ers, for the restoration of the pros
perity that marked the tobacco
o find a responsive chord in
your heart? To say that nothing
can be accomplished is to surrender
without effort, an unconditional sur
render.
The "plan'' is to organize every
