FARMERS UNDER SAME ROOF
President Barrett Advocates working
Agreement Between Farmers
Union and Other Organizations

To the Of3cers and Members OF the
Farmers Union:
It is a simple matter Of record that
the Farmers Union Is the grea'es'
agricultural organization IN the couh.
try and in history. But there are
several score other farmers organlza,
lions in the country, large ana slnala
and of varying degrees OF lnnuen''
and strength.
Sooner or later-sooner, l nope
there will be a federation between
the Farmers Union and these o'hei
associations. BY federation 90 no'

But I do mean working agreement
on such features as all farmers nave

Nothing Is done in this country
without organization. From the
mightiest trust on down to the small

principle Of organization rules su-

When it comes down to the last
analysis, all the farmers In America
have things in common. On the sur

your home and in my home, IN your
county and in my county, are JUS
about the same things. We have al
suffered from poverty. The effects O
dishonesty injure us equally. Pros
