Good Work Of Farmers Organization
Tler and others nsk, what good have
farmers organizations done for the
farmer?"
Now ever mother, son daughter and
parent of the whole rural mail route
has practical answer to this slow
question every day, and Ii this great
demonstration OF good accomplish
ments by organized farmers Is not

enough information to convince any
reasonable one Of tho fact that far
mers In one form or another have
practically gotten, or will soon get all
their demands In some reasonable
form or other. For instance. we did
not get the "sub-treasury" as demand
ed by the Ocala platform, but we
have something better In the name
OF regional banks"
. Neither have we The green back
currency" but we Lave something
better through :ho Fcwc. CO the re-
gfonal banks and the treasurer OF
the nation who has already placed
many millions of dollars for the spe-
cifc purpose OF loving farmers

breed panic Mt i'll, or set up ficti-,
tlous prices and rob the farmers of
the profits on cir products have
not yet been pu entirely out of bus

been given b.a K eye by our national
treasurer, whn can fill the needs OF
money as fa,s as. Wall Street.

troll their nefarfous steps.
