Organization

Organization on the part of farm
ers will stabilize the business of farm
ing and assure the cost of production.
We believe the farmer has the same
right to a decent wage for his labor
as the same service would bring in the
factory. A Farm Bureau will be or
ganized in Ellis County next week,
March 1 to 6, 1920.
Temporary President Joseph Griese
of Walker, is calling all of his Town
ship Directors to meet him at the Ex-
pertinent Station at 1 o'clock, Mon
day, March 1, 1920.
Franklin County, Iowa, in their re-
cent Farm Bureau drive, signed up
1860 members This was during ex-
tremely cold winter weather and i'm
passable roads. One township has
1O4 bona fide farmer members. Ellis
County, Kansas, viii enroll as high a
percentage.
In looking over a map showing the
Farm Bureau counties of the state,
you do not see Ellis on the list Do
you realize that over 100000 of the
best farmers in the United States are
Farm Bureau members and that two
thirds of the agricultural counties in
the middle west have Farm Bureaus
Do you know that it means more to
be a Farm Bureau member now than
ever before? When you join, your
county Farm Bureau you are allying
yourself with a state organization of
more than 10000 members and ma
tional organization of 100000
farmer members. We haven't the
space here to tell all about the pur-
poses of these organizations but your
township committee will call and talk
it over some day next week

FARMERS ATTENTION

Farmers have a right to the cost of
production. Only about twice in the
past forty years has the price of farm
products brought the cost of produc-
ton. Take away from the farmers
of the middle west the money made in
the rise of farm lands and they have
worked for nothing.
The long hours of labor; the work
of women and children; the work
without wages or return on capital in
vested have made it possible for
farmers to pay for their loans
