BARRETT SAYS FARMERS

says President Charles s. Barrett, OF the
National Farmers Educational and CO.
Operative union in an address issued to
the members President Barrett says;
To the Ofheers and Members OF the
Farmers Union; ! have pointed out up
on several recent occasions that the or
CANNED farmer is facing the most pro-
gressive era In American history. and
that the keynotes of this era were to be
those OF business methods and of gen.
uine cooperation
There Is but one way 20 hasten and
make national the benefits OF that step
forward-and that is in every farmer in
America. whether or not he is affiliated
with the Farmers union. constituting
himself a missionary for the improve
ment Of conditions in his own locality.
GREAT RI RAJ PROBLEM.
The soundest thinkers in America are
agreed that the rural problem is the
greatest one today facing the country,
and that upon its proper solution must
depend largely the safeguarding Of pros
perfty and Of advancement
Each farm IN America presents rural
problem today. Every farmer in Amer
lea. whether the lord Of loo acres, or
the poorest "cropper'' in the southern
states. must be an individual solver of
that problem as IT applies to himself
and 70 his friends and his families.
For though the national government
and philanthropists and conscientious
publicists may spend millions in an ef-
fort TO improve conditions in the coun-
try districts. their united efforts will be
futile unless the individual farmer goes
about the work of betterment as though
