Farmer Brown: Just minute Mr.. Bacon. Don't
get excited. don't want to get another copy, but
get a lot Of laughs OUT Of this one. y
What came to see you about is that editorial.
You say that the farmers Grange is not sensible
movement and that it never conferred any benefits
on US farmers. Why did you say that? We have
nearly 100000 members today.
Mr.. Bacon: Because that is the way I under
stand it. I-- 81.
Farmer Brown: Sir, your, paper sis supposed to
know the facts. There's excuse for such ignor-
Why don't you read the encyclopedias in your
own library? (Farmer Brown goes to shelf in
Bacon's imposing library and picks up volume Of
Britannica Encyclopedia and begins, to read de-
scription of farmer uprisings generation ago.
t"The farmers movement misunderstood,
abused and ridiculed. It accomplished a, vast
amount of good The movement, especially the
Grange, contributed the initial impulse to the local
libraries museums and farmers Institutes, rural
free mail delivery, agricultural exhibits.
"It gave encouragement to agricultural colleges,
establishment of the department of agriculture; in
short, betterment of the farmers condition, rrga-
tion of the arid West, pure food laws, interstate
commerce act railroad rates and antitrust laws"
(Farmer Brown lays the book down) and says,
Now, Jerry, all the conveniences that you enjoy

sticking to our organization. We were abused and
ridiculed says this encyclopedia by just such men

spread effective protest against the menace of
privilege in the United States" ...
Jerry (bewildered): I never knew that before.
Farmer Brown: I thought So. I you have
the International Encyclopedia your shelf. Let's
see what this book says about the farmers Grange.
Begins to ready "The Grange was largely re-
sponsible in securing the passage Of the postal
ings law, oleomargarine law, parcel post law and
many others, which show broad-minded states,
manshp." aG'~s.. =
Mr.. Bacon: But also talking about the
Farmers alliance. ...~
Farmer Brown: Now we'll take up the Farmers
alliance I see you have the American Encyclo-
pedia on your table. Let's read-"In 1889 the
Farmers alliance was movement against plutoc-
racy and combination of wealth. It was national
organization to secure favorable legislation for
anti-speculation laws, government ownership of
railroads, loans from the government on farms at
low rates of interest, subtreasuries to store farm
produce"
You, Jerry, call all that bunk. The Federal Farm
Loan bank to let you borrow money at a low rate
Of interest your farm is result of our agitation

of course, he's always doing that-and then soak
ing the Grange and the old Farmers alliance. Lis

1T brings us back to the good old days of the
Farmers alliance, the days of the Greenback Labor
party the days of the Grange. Those were not very
sensible movements and if they had succeeded they
would not have conferred many or any benefits on
their proponents. But they proved to. be only
passing movements of irritation among the farmers,
and after while the farmers became good-temper-
ed again, and all was Townley, bent social
ism, has the shrewdness to try again to utilize the
farmer. Though prophecy is out of date, it Ger
tainy looks as if he were about to meet the same
fate that all his predecessors did, The farmer,
he appears in American history, never stays foolish
Probably that's all there is of it," (Throws paper
into corner in disgust.)
And that's all Jerry Bacon knows about it. I
joined the Grange back in Michigan "A years ago,
and / member of the Farmers alliance too.
Of course, Jerry could be expected to knock all the
farmers organizations, but seems to me like he
ought to know something about them Although
the less you know, the better " A. you're apt to
