Edited by J. c. Hanley, Nat. Sec.)
The following letter has been receiv-
ed at this office:
us there new Grain Growers, asso-
citation, known as the Northwestern
Grain Growers association, started up
In opposition to the National Grain
! Growers association, or is this the
| same crowd who tried to start the rival
ago
| and failed so miserably?"
AS the party requests us not to pub
lish his name, we are obliged to omit
same.
In answer to the communication Of
the writer, we wrote him that there
was no such organization as the North
western Grain Growers association
that we knew of, and if there was such
an organization as the above named
society, we would correspond with the
parties and induce them, if possible, to
join the National Grain Growers asso-
ication and all pull together.
Since writing to our correspondent I
find an item in the Representative an
nouncing that there is movement of
the above nature on foot which may
not be correctly reported, and we have
written to the party who was given as
having all information on the subject.
We do not wish to condemn the move
ment until we have heard from those
parties, and hope to have all friends of
1t would be most unfortunate to have
trouble Of this nature just now when
farmers all over the world are waking
up and deciding that they must organ
ize in order to prevent their industry
from being ruined,
We are having large batch of I'm
structions to Organizers" printed and
will soon be ready for distribution
throughout the nation.
These instructions" win be of great
aid to local, organizers in telling them
just how to proceed, with statement of
their recompense, etc.
BY special direction of the supreme
council of the National Grain Growers
association, the organizers and deputy
organizers are directed not to handle
the funds of the local association, but
to instruct the local officers to forward
the entire amount of initiation fees to
the national association, and the ma
tional association would pay the organ
izers for their work direct
The following is an article which we
would ask parties to have published in
their local papers as preliminary to get
ting up the first meetings:
LuIIOi VI
The farmers in the vicinity Of .
............ are requested to attend
mass meeting, to be held on. 49,. 1900,
at. Hall.
The object and purpose of the meet
Ing will be to hear the aims and pur-
poses of the National Grain Growers
association explained, and to organ
ize branch of the association in this
locality.
The main purpose of the association
is to organize the farmers all over the
world into one great international or
ganization, to intelligently advance and
vigorously defend the interests of the
farmers.
Among the objects to be secured is
to have the farmers name the price of
their grain and products instead of
leaving it to the gamblers and COM
bines. The price decided on by the In
ternational association is 81 bushel
for wheat at Liverpool, England It |
is intended to have all farmers hold
their grain throughout the world until |
the price has reached the 81 mark, then |
sell; and whenever the price drops be- |
low the $1.0O to hold until the price |
again reaches that figure.
1t is proposed to reduce the acreage !
of wheat throughout the world twenty |
per cent, and thus increase the demand J
by reducing the supply, as the first |
means to advance the price on the
wheat crop.
It is also intended to introduce wheat |
-four into Asiatic countries, thus in I
crease the demand and establish in
competition against Eng
land, which is practically our only GUS
toner, and make her pay more for our
wheat than she has for many years
past -,
1t is further proposed to place ter
minal elevators III charge Of govern
ment inspectors, and prevent mixing
grain and destroybf4ngSs y a. the commercial
value of grades indthe markets Of the
