FARM FEDERATION BUREAU a

produce on your farm than that
which you now receive? The answer
is YES. No big corporation ever or
ganiZed to dc business in our State
except by organization. Do you
think you can realize more for what
you produce on your farm by not or
ganizing? The answer is NO. Well,
why not enlist your name with the
other 125 farmers whose names ap-
pear below. and help organize Bour-
bon county into Farm Federation
Bureau? 1t will mean protecting the
interests of Bourbon county farm
ers, and you will receive more
money for your wheat, corn, oats,
hay, hogs, cattle, hemp, lambs, to-
bacco, etc. Why? Because you will
receive daily information through
your local headquarters from the
National Bureau, advising you what
the farmers are getting for their
products in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri
and other great farming States, and
you will be as well-posted as the
man who desires to buy yours. In
unity there is strength.
How can you get fair, legitimate
profit above actual cost of prOduc-
ton except by cooperation? 1t has
no tendency TO drive anyone out
of business. 1t wants for it's men,
berShip, composed of farmers and
tenants, fair and legitimate profit
above cost Of OductiOn-nothing
less nor nothing more.
Is that fair? Yes. Do you ever
read in the press where the farm
ers of America have ordered y
strike, which causes hunger anu
stagnation of big business? No. He
sits at home and feeds the world.
Do you propose to continue in the
old rut, or will you aid yourselves
by becoming one of great Organi-
cation, which is organized for your
benefit solely?
