The first reason my father
should join the association is
that it is 4 farm organization.
organized by farmers. operated
I by farmers. and used for the
farmers benefit.
The second reason is that la
Dor Is organized. business is or
ganizel and everyone else but
the farmer Is organized. Why
should the farmers not organize :
The third reason j. that mat
tiers could not be any worse. The
farmer Is selling his tobacco at
starvation prices and buying 9TH
CT things at wartime prices.
, This cannot last forever. Tor the
/ banker cannot lend money with
out prospect OF payment. 1t has
come to the point where the
farmers will either have to stick
, together or starye separately.
The fourth reason i that the
farmer blamed everyone last.
year because he didn't get 4 fair
( price for his tobacco. All the
good it did was to relieve him of
his sentiments.
With seventy-fvc per cent OF
! the tobacco growers organized.
the buyers will never dare an
tagonize the organization. and
the farmers opinions will then
amount to something besides hot
/ air. For wears the farmer ha
been compelled to take what
was offered him. This plan viii
/ place him in 4 position to force
BUYERS to pay what he wants.

"The grape growers Of Cali

shouldn't the tobacco growers ri
