Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
In view of the fact that there is to
be a meeting of the Tobacco Growers
Association in Rocky Mount on the
DIST inst, I wish to say word in be-
half of organization.
I have attended most or some of
the meetings of the Association from
its organization. At all of these
meetings I have tried hard to get the
leaders and every one else first to
organize, then go to work. This is
absolutely true; without perfect or
ganization the movement is a fail
ure; with organization it is a sue
cess. | believe every one recognizes
this truth; still but little has been
done to organize our forces. Shall
we organize? The fight is ours when
we organize, but never until then.
