Miscellaneous Suggestions About Farm
ers' Organizations,
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

NAANO VI AHO IL
It is continually said by various
classes, "you can't organize the
farmers" and my honest opinion is
they just don't know, but would be
glad to keep the farmers from organ
izing, so as to feather their own
nests at the expense of the farmers.
While I am making wal on no trust
or corporations, I would suggest if
the farmers would learn to jot down
each days doings it would be an eye
opener to various opportunities they
have never dreamed of and never will
without keeping strict account of
their business. The way other classes
know what pay them is by keeping
accounts. [ would suggest to the
farmers, if they really think they
can't be organized, I never would
grumble any more, and be content to
be the other peoples ditcher as long
as we live. But I don't think they
need doubt the ability of the farmers
to organize as well as any other
class. But we have to lose no time
in fighting other trusts or combines,
but use every moment of time in
making a trust of our own as large
as we can get it, even as large as
from ocean to ocean. I am persuad-
ed if the farmers would they could
compare favorably with any other
organization. If other classes fault
find, you let it be a means of grace
to strengthen you in your march for
recognition. Ny honest opinion is
the reason the farmers have never
been recognized is because they have
never put their heads together and
asked recognition at the hands of
their legislatures, as other classes
have done. And as it is the business
of the farmers to feed and clothe the
world, let us learn to do it as eco
nomically as possible. For the rea-
son the farmers are no farther adj
vanced than they are is really their
own fault, in part at least; and it is
an utter impossibility for the farm
ers to succeed without organization.
Other classes have succeeded ~only
with organization; the farmers can
do the same. Raising large crops of
tobacco and less stock without or
ganized effort will drive the farmers
further from independence every
time they try it.
1t seems to me the only wise thing
for the farmers to do is to unite
along some Legitimate lines for self
preservation and remember to fight
no trust, but enlarge our own. We
can do and have our business done
on plans that will succeed on small
capital in proportion as other classes
And above all, I would recommend
that we try to keep our heads level
and sober.

Warren County Alliance.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
In penning you a sketch of the
doings of the Alliance in this coun-
ty, [ would state that the County Al
lance was held in the hall of Jones
Spring sub in a public school house
situated in the southwestern portion
of the county and upon the old
Ridgeway and Jones Spring turn
pike. Jones Springs, from whence
the Alliance takes it name, is an old
a~nte-bellum health resort, at that
time consisting of hotels, restau-
rants, saloons, ball roms, etc., to
which place the road from Ridgeway
was turnpiked by the Ridgeway Com
pany with intentions of rebuilding
since the war the wreck of houses,
etc., at the Springs. But alas! it all
came to naught. This school house
is situated some y or Is miles from
other subs. This fact, together with
the busy season and b~ackwardness of
the farmers, accounts for not so full
a representation of the visiting
brethren as we might wish, although
there were about 20 or 25 present.
Jones Spring Alliance has about 90
members, some of whom are ladies.
It's Secretary is a lady, Mrs Katie
Short, nee Miss Katie O'Neal. One
lady presided at the diner, which
was a royal feast, fit for kings. The
meeting was very interesting and
all through harmonious, being enter
tanned principally by Brother Elem
ing and Brother Graham, each II
speaking we'll for our noble paper
and for the Business Agency, and
for the upbuilding and strengthening
the Alliance in all its phases and
forms. And with this we shall CON
tinue to watch and wait and hope
that our people may yet see the great
Importance of organization.
