URGES UNION OF FARMERS
ORGANIZATION PUT FORWARD
As PROPER PLAN.
When Prices Of Products Go Up They
Tend to Make AgricuIturists
Stick Together.

East st. Louis, III. - The fea.
ture of the days session of the
first annual convention of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity, which is COM
posed of farmers, was the address OF
NJ. F. Sharp, of Narrows, Ky. He
strongly urged the farmers to perfect
An organization.
1.-The trusts and combines, which
are the agencies of the internal re-
gions, call us jays, hayseeds, rubes
and mossbacks, and say that even II
we do organize we won't stick. he
said.
Z Il tell you that when organization
raises the price of products it is the
best sticking plaster in. the world. I
know the farmers will stick. Equity
means fair deal. All manufacturing
industries fix the price of their prod
ucts and know what price they are
going to get for them. The farmer.
the backbone of the nation and the
worlds greatest producer, has been
going on the theory that he will take
whatever he can get for his products.
Equity intends that the farmer shall
take his place with the worlds pro
ducers and fix profitable price for
his products. That can only be done
By . plan Of marketing products to
control and regulate the market
prlces.''
Wednesdays session was devoted
principally to addresses along the
line of forming an agriculturists' or.
sanization to fix and maintain prices
on farm products.

done to the workings, and the mine
