ATTENTION, FARMERS

To the Farmers of Marion Co:
The struggle between those who live
off the products of other mems labor is
as old as humanity. Far back of the
ability of man to make records of his
thoughts or achievements it was nee
essary for him to form social commun-
tiles to ward off the encroachments of
enemies, the most destructive and the
most merciless of which were human
beings whose highest ambition was to
lord over their fellowman and live off
the fruits of others toll. The original
nucleus of civilization was the clan
and its chief. From this, as century
after century rolled by, our present
high standard of civilization was evol-
we'd. Mans ability to acquire, retain
and use knowledge has increased by
leaps and bounds, but it cannot be said
that be has entirely outgrown bis de-
sire and Willingness to reap where an
other has sown. The same old strug-
gle is on today. 1t is the shrewd, can
ming and greedy against the guileless,
artless and indifferent many. If the
farmers of this nation ever come into
their own; ever rid themselves of the
parasites by which they have been in
tested all these years, they will have
to arouse themselves, shake off their
indifference, band together and work
together faithfully and persistently.
The Farmers Union has done much to
awaken and stimulate thought and
effort on the part of the farmer
Through this organization, farmers of
the south and west have undertaken
tremendous tasks and in none of them
can it be said that they have totally
failed. And now, in order to hear a
more exhaustive grafton on this partic-
ular subject | want every farmer to
come out on Monday, Aug. 10, and

the Farmers Educational and Cooper
alive Union of America. Another Of
fetal of the Union will be here. T. J.
Brooks; also we will have Prof. H.
A. Morgan, of the Experiment Sta
ton at Knoxville, who'is well known
to many of the farmers of the county.
These men have a message for every |
farmer in Marion County, and no one
will regret having left their duties for
the day to hear these speake rs. These |
men have the interest of the farmer at |
heart and they are aiding him to get |
into profit sharing business.
just come along and hear them on |
these vital subjects. No matter if old |
Pied gets into the corn and the hogs |
into the later patch, you will be am
ply repaid in the way of information |
and rejuvenation to dispel the loss of
what they devour while you are away.
Bring the boys and girls; and don't
forget to bring mother, too. She will
enjoy the day of outing just as well as
you will, and perhaps gather few
new ideas that will slide through
your rusty old Uranium unmolested.
Bring along with you well-filled
basket. Let its contents be composed
of yellow legged chicken, juicy hams,
pickles, pies and pound-cake. Come
and let us enjoy the day together. 1
