AGRICULTURAL TEMPLE

Resolution offered by A. A. Elmore
president of the Washington Farmers
Union, for the erection and endow-
ment of an Agricultural Temple in
the City of Washington by the Organ
lied farmers of America
Whereas, Agriculture is the first
| the most important, and the most
fundamental of all occupations, and
Whereas, There is in the city of
Washington no place where the farm
ers of America can bring together
their interests and their needs, and
Whereas, Labor, commerce, and
| other great interests have established
general headquarters through which
their demands and desires can be
promptly formulated and effectively
transmitted to congress and the ex-
ecutive departments. and
Whereas, The farmers of America
have never had such headquarters
and have suffered greatly from the
lack thereof, and
Whereas, At this time, the need for
united action among American farm
ers Is greater than ever before in the
history Of our country, and
Whereas, the service which a ma
tional headquarters for the organized
farmers of America, can render is
greater than ever before, now, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That the National Board
of. Farm Organizations hereby approve
the erection, endowment and main
tenance of a Temple of Agriculture
in the City of Washington to serve
as general headquarters for the or
ganized farmers of America and, be
it further
Resolved, That a committee of seven
be appointed by the chairman with
power to prepare plans and when
such plans shall have been approved
by the general council of the National
Board of Farm Organizations to raise
the necessary funds and thereupon
to procure by purchase or otherwise
such Temple of Agriculture in the
City of Washington, d. G. But we
declare that our patriotic duty re-
quires us to do no building during the
war.

Dear Mr.. Elmore:
congratulate you on the success
of the Joint meeting of representatives
Of various farmers organizations held
at the Ebbitt Hotel, in this city, re-
Gently.
l was very much pleased to learn
of the plan formulated at that meeting
to erect in this city Temple of
Agriculture to be devoted to the in
terests of the agricultural classes of
the United States. A great building
dedicated to that purpose and afford
ing meeting place and home for the
representatives of this foundation in
dustry Of the nation would not only
in my opinion, be an inspiring object
for your own organization but would
be of immense value and interest to
our entire population. A great many
of the difficulties with which the
farmers have had to contend during
the fact that they We're an unorgan-
lied body competing with highly or
ganized and specialized rivals. They
produced and sold as individuals
| whereas the interests that purchased
their products, whether live stock OIL

quence was that prices that the
farmer received for his products was
fixed by his competitors in the bust.
mess world, and he was allowed only
so much as they, in their generosity
or wisdom, or for expediencys sake
saw fit to allow him. A universal or.
ganization of farmers or a close unior
of existing organizations is, in my
opinion the most essential agency ant
weapon with which the farmer shoult
be armed in the industrial struggl,
of the future
great building worthy of thi
noblest of all occupations will be
visible sign and token to all the worl'
of the intelligent organization and di
rection of the farmers forces and, SC
powerfully encourage and faciitat
that movement.
Such building, housing perma
nently, here, representatives of tn
agricultural interests and preserving
land aiding their unity of action viii
be a powerful force for justice an
good government in our public affairs
| / believe that the policy of accept
ing liberty bonds as contributions tc
wards its erection will be an aid an
encouragement in the successful sal
'of these bonds. With kind regards
very truly yours, Miles Poindexter.
