LABOR RESERVE MEN TO
CAPITAL FOR CONFERENCE

Bismarck, N. D., July 3.-John B.
Brown, u. S. farm help specialist, has
asked every Federal Farm Labor Re
serve committee in the state to meet
with him and other government Off
cials at Bismarck on Friday, July 5,
when there will be mapped out plan
by which it is hoped there may be
mobiliZed the volunteer workers army
of ut least $4,000 which is believed
necessary to insure saving North Da-
kota's big crops. A labor reserve
must be organized in every county to
carry out the federal plan. John B.
Brown, who has represented the fed
eral department of labor in this state
for the last year, has been given
especial charge Of this work, which is
regarded at this moment the most inn
portant problem confronting our state.
The draft called for July % will take
from North Dakota 3100 men, many
of whom will be farm laborers. at the
very time when their help will be
most needed. This deficit, as we'll as
the huge shortage which already ex-
lists, must be made up, and only by
the thorough and unseltish coopera-
tion Of city people, business men,
bankers, professional men, clerks and
laborers, can North Dakota hope to
meet the situation. 1t is therefore
essential that not only every county
but every community be represented
at the farm labor reserve conference
Friday.

National Wheat Growers
Association to ORGANIZE

Washington to support.
A county organizer is wanted for
each county. The work is not of1il-
lated with any labor movement Any
wheat grower may become a member
and Farmers Union, Equity, Grange
Alliance or any other farmer organi-
zation member is invited to do his
part in bettering the wheat growing
industry. When Washington learns
that several million wheat farmers
have set their jaws and determined
upon fair grades and prices, they
will give less attention to the steel
mills, packing plants and other in
terests to give the farmers hearing
Last spring the Farmers Union was
able to get a heaing when delegates
representing four and one-half million
farmers told Washington they wanted
look in and to have a word about
their products. They got it, but are
just started. Farming should be repre-
sented in Washington every day.
The plan of national wheat grow
ing body was thought out at the
spring meeting at Washington last
year by this body of delegates who
appreciated the small grain grower
should organize, stick together, and
have competent men constantly look
ing after his interest as other success
full business men have. Men from
twenty tates agreed to join and work
for it, so the North Dakota association
will become part of the nationwide
movement. The dues are very small
and merely cover the necessary ex-
penses. In Stark county, the farmers
are very much taken up with the plan
and see in it their only chance to
avoid taking a loss of millions of dol
lars due to unfair grading systems
and other practices which they have
been unable to overcome without a
national nization.-Dickinson Re-
corded-Post.

ing States to Unite For Better
Conditions; Ask Honest
Grades-Fair Prices
SEND MEN TO WASHINGTON

The wheat growers of the United
States should have their own organ
ization, maintain representatives at
Washington, meet regularly in con-
vention and see that fair grades are
established and living prices paid for
wheat. The steel mills all have men
at Washington; the railroads. the
labor unions, the fruit growers, the
mines, packing plants and all other
industries have their representatives
at the capitol. They get what they
want. Why should the farmer who
feeds the whole bunch let these in
terests defend their rights and pro-
ducts, while he alone remains unor-
ganized and must take any grade or
price somebody is willing to pay him?
