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
