Farmers Union

o. P. Ford, secretary treasurer of the Farmers union of Alabama has sent out the following:
 To the Officers and Members of the
 Farmers Union:
 I feel this the most opportune time for our organization to revive and in crease their membership of any time in the past. Therefore. I want to appeal to the loyal members of our organiza- ton for their hearty cooperation.
 We want to have a wideawake or- ganizer in each county, and I believe with the indictments that I will be able to offer will amply justify and pay him for his work.
 I want to get in touch with each president and secretary. so that l can outline campaign in each county We want 100000 members in our organiza- tion by planting time and this can be done only with your cooperation.
 I am glad to state to you that our farmers are waking up along these lines, so if you have man in your local or in your county that will do this work, please write, or have him write me. and I will clothe him with the prop CT authority at once.
 It will never do for the farmer to lay down on his job at this particular tune as we are passing through crlSlS as never before.
 An organization is a necessity, be- cause we can only hope for good mar kets through co-operat tion and organi- zati0n.
 I find that the business men in all lines are more willing to cooperate with us than they ever have been, and for this reason, we should use all of our energies to protect our agricultural in- terest.
 Hoping to hear from you al an early date, I beg to remain your servant.
 o. P. FORD, Secretary Treasurer.
