The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1933-12-29
mOrsY in with their order.

A good thing -four your organiza-
ton to do wuld be to elect q Press
and Literature COMMITTEES. The
task Of this committee will be to
make plans for spreading the
FARMERS WEEKLY in the COM
munity, to get new subscribers, get
Greetings. solicit advertisements,
ind in every other way possible to
help the paper. The Press and
Literature Committee should also
send regular news reports to the
paper on local conditions and on
struggles.
The Press and Literature Com
mittee ought to keep the farmers
in the community supplied with
the various pamphlets that are
published-pamphlets which ex-
plain conditions ard help draw
farmers into the struggle to stay
on the farm and improve their con-
ditions. The FARMERS WEEK
LY will serve as a distributing
center for all such literature.
Several rev farm pamphlets
have been published recently,
among them being three on the
Farmers End National Conference.
A list Of these pamphlets may be
found in this issue.
T. In Upper Michigan, many To-
U Gals Of the United Farmers
League report that they are hold
ing affairs to raise funds for start
ing the Farmers Weekly. The
same. is being reported by some
Nebraska Holiday locals. This l.,
a very good idea. There is no
reason why every local and coun-
tv organization cannot do the
same.
y Through the correspondence of
. the farmers, the three papers
which have been amalgamated
really reflected the conditions and
struggles of the impoverished
farmers. We are sure these farm
reporters will continue their un-
matched services to the new
FARMERS WEEKLY.
But we want hurdreds Of NEW
Farm Reporters in every part of
the country to become part of the
staff of this great Voice Of the
Toiling Farmers.
From every Farm Reporter, new
ones as well as the old guard, we
want letter before the end of the
year. What are vour conditions
under Roosevelt's New Deal?
What is being done to put into
effect the Farmers Call to Action
adopted at the Second National
Conference?
The editors of the FARMERS
WEEKLY, Erik Bert ard Rob Hall
have pre- pared a dummy" as we
call it in the newspaper field. This
dummy shows what is going into
the new paper. When we look
through this dummy we find
MANY new departments ard fea-
lures.
For instance. there will be a full
page of women's material. This
page will have recipes, patterns.
Doctors advice for the whole fam
ily, games and stories for kids.
And this page will also have news
OF how women are taking part in
struggles.
The FARMERS WEEKLY will
have a weekly column on market
prices with an explanation of the
rise and fall during the week.
There will be a story in every
issue. as well as a comic strip,
There will be a department on
orgarizational problems edited bv
one OF the foremost leaders of
farm organization in this country,
Alfred ITALIA, the national secre-
tary of the United Farmers
League. There will be a full pace
ct letters from farmers. A sec
ton for young people is all plan
NED.
And above all there will be news
lots of news. News of the strl1p.
giles that are taking place all over
the country, all over the world. r.
make this world a better place e.
live in for farmers and workers
ard their wives and children.
