(which means fishery" was originally

To The Farmers of Jefferson County

II is sort of a natural tendency for some
of us to regard our last experience IN or
ganization as proof that organizations
among farmers are as rule failures. On
the other hand, many instances Can be
cited to show that farmers can organize
and as a result the very best things be OBJ
tanned in the way OF crops, prices, etc.
Some OF the best and most splendid e1-
amples OF success in organization work
are seen in the new type OF organizations
among farmers. The fault seems to be
in the nature Of the organization.
We believe that an organization OF the
farmers OF our county with practical farm-
ers as officers and directors and having
for IFS purpose the improvement OF our
farming practices so that we may be able
TO make greater returns on our farms
ought TO meet with the hearty approval
OF all and be most welcome TO each farm
er in the county.
When we consider that lS boys in the
State Of West Virginia last year, dry as II
was, produced 68 s bushels OF shelled
corn per acre at an average cost OF IS
cents Der bushel, and that II OF these boys
produced more than 100 bushels per acre
at an average cost OF "a cents per oushel,
and that the two champions produced l33
bushels at an average cost OF only 10 cents
per bushel, while the average yield IN the
entire State is less than % bushels per
acre, we must conclude that something is
wrong in our methods. An organization
prompted by the proper motives and
controlled by the proper officers ought TO
make change in the corn crop IN west
Virginia. Ii will in Jefferson county II
the farmers stand back of the association
formed in ShepherdStown last week and
each one lend hand toward unfolding
the president, c. d WYsong, and his
vice-presidentS, Marshall Mcdonald and
Logan Shut.
This is an appeal 10 every farmer in the
good old county of Jefferson to step for
ward and place his shoulder TO the wheel
as he has never done before. that Jeiier-
son county, West Virginia, may be known
the world over as one OF the most pro-
gresSive counties in the United States;
This organization stands for better and
bigger crops, bigger and better live stock,
better roads, better everything. II you
are IN on this, let VIM. A. Daniel. OF
Shenandoah Junction, have your name
and your fee Of s. 90 and begin TO reap
the rewards OF membership. Already
some members have realized several
hundred per cent on their investment In
the purchase OF fertilizers. The organl-
cation was not SO hours old when unsolic-
lied came an offer to sell fertilizer at from
81 90 to 81 80 less per ton than the accuS-
toned price.
