Well, Mr.. Editor, | will say few
shings to encourage the farmers,
Brother farmers, let us never forget
o attend the meeting of our local.
Don't think because you are q little
Cired you will stay at home and they
will get along without you. You must
emember that all farmers have to
work, and are tired, too. The great
trouble with the farmer is, that we
lepend on the other fellow TOO much
70 do our thinking and reading. We
should remember that when tie other
fellow does the thinking, he has to
have pay for it, So it hehooves us to
legin now to do our own thinking and
!ook after the marketing of our farm
products; therefore you can see the
need of attending your local union
regular and discuss the various topics
pertaining to the interest OF the farm
ers and therbey devise plans by which
the farmers put them into practice
Don t you believe this organization

is founded on principles lofty enough
to raise the farmers to higher plane
of living2 don't you believe that if
these principles are carried out you
will get nearer just and equal rights2
Haven your children better right to
what you make than anyone else. If
so, why not join the union and help
to get these equitable prices for our
farm products? Let s be as one of old.
Let others do as they please, as for me
and you we shall stay with the union
and help to battle for these rights. Ii
every member of the Union would do
this success would be a sure thing and
that before many moons, and when
reached the goal, may we be able to
say, have fought good fight
henceforth there is rest for the weary.
| want to live to see the day when
all the farmers will be as one, for

SO will bid you adieu.
