COMING THIS WAY.

we told you SO more than a
year ago.
1t is the Farmers Cooperative
and Educational Union Of America
that is coming this way.
1t was first organized in Arkan-
sas or Texas, we have forgotten
which. but since that it has spread
over several States and Territories.
In the new State of Oklahoma
the new movement is taking like
wild.fire lately. With local clear.
ing houses being rapidly establish.
ed in all parts of the State, with
charters secured this year amount
ing in capital stock to over three
quarters of million dollars, with
sufficient control at the present
time to practically dictate the
prices on all farm products grown
in Oklahoma, aud with a growing
tendency to secure possession Of
mills, elevators, canning plants
and cotton gins, the Farmers co.
operative and educational union
of America has shown what organ
ization among farmers can accom-
plish within a short time. ALI Of
this has been accomplished ia Ok
lahOma within the present year.
1t was for the purpose Of dictat-
ing the prices, for which the farm
ers must sell their produce, and to
take this dictation out of the hands
of alleged unfriendly corporations,
that this organization was first
formed. 1t has extended, at the
present tiu'e, only turnout the
southern states and territories, but
the campaigning in the north ern
states will begin just as soon as
the southern field is thoroly organ
lied, we are told. The organiza-
ton has a membership of over so,
600 in Oklahoma. Aud each one
of these $4,000 is producing far
mer. Some of the counties are
now completely organized; Others
are being rapidly formed into dis
trict unions.
And the organization has gotten
over into Missouri, and there is a
small Union organization in Au-
drain county. For about two
years, we understand, the Audrain
organization has been buying GER
tain farm machinery at reduced
prices, account of advantages the
Union holds. This year the mem.
bers bought all their twiue thru
the Unicn, buying it that way las I
year also, but this year getting
double supply.
If there is bound to be so much
trust business the farmers want a !
little of it themselves. Believe
we see where they are right.
