America. Begin shipping at once,
100000 each Of warm knitted WOOL

WHY FARMERS SHOULD
ORGANIZE.

Farmers should organize because
their interests are so near identical.
Farmers have interests which
should be protected; this can best
be done in an organized way.
Organization presents the best
method Of business dealing; the far
mers should have the best.
Organization not only demands at
tention, but commands 1t as we'll.
Organization Of capital and labor
have made It impossible for the far
mers to obtain greatest results in an
unorganized way.
Organization demands organized
competition.
Organization is necessary for pro-
gress. so farmers must have q pro-
gressive organization.
Organization insures development;
It Is a step forward for the farmer.
Organization brings industries to-
gether to devise ways and means to
better their conditions: why will not
the same association benefit the far
mer?
BY organization man has been able
to ascend the scale Of civilization, So
by organization will be able to as
cend to a still higher plane Of pro-
gress and prosperity. Farmers are
men. agriculture by Gods will is the
greatest calling Of man; protect 1t,
then by organization.
Agricultural industry furnishes
the majority Of the Nations wealth
and it is the basis Of all wealth, why,
then, should not agriculture be the
best protected of all industries? Or
ganization insures protection.
Organization Of interest insures
respect, influence, recognition and
power. The farmer needs these
things that he may be able to receive
a square deal.
BY organization in a compact con-
sentative body the farmers can Sc
cure wise and equitable legislation
and be assured that the interests of
agriculture are fairly represented
when lawmakers meet.
The farmers in every community
should have a permanent economic
organization which recognizes the
rights Of all men and insures to them
justice and to the wife equal infiu-
ence and dignity and where all may
meet in advancing q common cause.
To the American farmer no orga
nization can be more highly recon-
mended than the Grange. because It
furnishes the social. educational,
fraternal, cooperative and legislative
features 50 essentially necessary in
completing . well-balanced farmers
organization in whose meetings all
can and something worthy OF their
effort. Farmer.

We have had school garden each

The children take great interest in

The cat is as useful as the buttons
