UNION DOES MUCH GOOD FOR FARMERS President Barrett, Organi zer, Tells of Benefits From Co-operation. That the organization of the Farmers' Union haa done much toward the betterment of the farm ers, both in education and co oper ation, the two essential objects of the uuion, is admitted by all who know its workings, says the Walla Walla Morning Union under date of January 29th. And from the letter that baa been received at the looal office of the Farmers' Educa tional and Co-operative Union from the national president, Charles 8. Barrett, it ia evident that there ill be much doing this year to ward extending this organization. He dwells at length on the ben efits of the organization to the far mere, aud in pointed arguments eets forth his reasons why the anion should be extended. The letter reads as follows: Washington, D. C, Jan. 23.-To the officers and members of the Walla Walla Farmnra' Union : Organization is today the greatest weapon and the most achieving tool at the disposal of the American farmer. I have stressed, in previous appeals, the almost magical value ot organiza tion, as shown in great and small busi ness, state and federal government, ac complishment the world over. But one could write volumes and yet leaye many features of the subject unbaodled. I am, moreover, extremely anxious that every American farmer not a mem ber of the Farmers' Union identify him self with this organization ; for bis own sake, first, and, necessarily, for the good of the organization. Has Helped the Farmer. mere is not one American state in which the Farmers' Union is well organ ized, but the lot of the farmers of that state has been generally improved. Why? For the simple reason that instead of working singly, or in pairs, for the local, the connty or the state le- forms needed, they have . worked as a unit. That is the secret of organization and its wonderful efficiency every where. For instance: If it were to the in terests of the farmers of a certain state to secure a larger educational appropri at ions that there might be more "little red scboolhouses," what would be the plan under the oil system? A farmer or two would write bis representative in the state legislature, the latter- would languidly read the letter ana there the matter would rest. It would continue , to rest for months and years, until grad ually .the feeble, scattered voices got to gether and made such an impression upon the law making body that action was forthcoming. Organization UlTea Ptwtr. Had organization existed the result woold have been hastened by as many years as there was numerical power and wise leadership to the organization. That is what organization does hast ens results, reduces scattered public sentiment to a focus, and makes it beat bard, loud and persistently upon the ear drums of sleepy legislators. We have proved it in so many states that I cannot undertake to enumerate them. Politics is just one feature. If organ ization is effectual in that field, it is no less effectual in creating conditions that will lessen the farmer's debt, make bis living conditions more pleasant, give him good roads, put bim into more friendly relations with his neighbors an 1, finally, solve what the wise men c'l the "rural problem." Organization is the weapon of the many put into the hands of a few responsible, able and de voted men. That is why I am preaching its value. But organization can be most effective if yoo insist that your leaders be chosen for fitness and for ability to Buffer and sacrifice rather than for jollying and handshaking ability. So it will be an excellent plan for you to spend much of vour time this year in looking for men wh answer these qualifications, then giving them a square deal. If they fail, and you still believe them honest and capable, give them another trial. It doesn't matter if they turn out dishonest or grafters. Drop that special kind and go after it gain with another let. lard to Organize Farmer. " The American farmer is the hardest Mlow in Or stendom to organize be cause of his Independence. He carps about his "rights." Even when sur rendering a few of them for awhile would better his condition, he is often stub born as a Missouri mule. Organization has gone forward faster in European countries, because the far mers there realized to begin with that they have less a chance, in pel tics and business, and that they must combine for their own good. The American farmer, untillatelv, has thought himself absolutely self-sufficient ; he bas stood upon the theory of "every American being a king," over looked the way in which big and little business and citv men organized to en force their "kingship" and continued to let wealth drift from the farm to the Up to January 19tb, three bad been shipped from Ileppner about 300,000 bushels of grain. The two warehouses here contain about 90. 000 bushels at this time, and some hauling yet lo be done. At Lex ington there remains about 25,000 sacks for shipment. Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Wiggles worth returned from Portland on Monday where they have been for some time. They have a sou in school down there. . Heppner Steam Laundry wagon calls for laundry Mondays and Wednesdays. Jefferson Evans, a leading farmer of the Lexington country, attended the meeting of the Farmers' Union at the court house, Saturday. He is of the opinion that the kind of weather we TEACHERS EXAMINATION. city, when the drift should, in the nature ' have been having lately is not the best of things be in the oilier direction. I have been frank about these things because we must face them in order to perfect our organization, and to bring intj it every farmer in the country with the intelligence lo know that organiza tion is the keynote to his own salvation.
