Farm ers Should Organize. Realizing the great need of a farmers’ organization that would bind together the toiling masses of farmers into one fiaternal brother hood and business organization, and lead them into paths of co operation and mutual fellowship, a small group ot farmers, numbering ten, led by one, Newt Gresham, met at a crossroads school house in the Stafe of Texas, and organized a so ciety, which they named the Farm er’s Educational and Co-operative Union ot America. This was in 1902. At that time the southern farmer was taking 5c and 6c for his cotton, much less than the cost of production. The cotton raiser was so oppressed that he was often forced to mortgage his crop before he could purchase h,<! seed. Now look at the price of cot ton; from 12c to 17c. The sonth- ern farmer could never have accom plished this had it not been for or ganization and co-operation in ware houses and many other things. In April, 1907, the first Farmers’ Union local was organized west of the Ilockies, at Waitsburg, Wash. Now the state of Washington, and the panhandle of Idaho have about 8000 members in good standing. When the Farmers’ Union came to Oregon and Washington, the farmers were paying 10c, 11c and 12c tor sacks; this was considered an extortionate price and the next winter, January, 1908, about 200 farmers came together in Walla Walla, Wash., and succeeded in bringing the price down to 7c; this was done by purchasing 1,500,000 sacks in one deal; soon after, this was done all over the state of Wash ington, and in some parts of Oregon similar reductions were secured. But in most counties that year where the Farmers’ Union was not in op eration, the same old price of sacks maintained. The next year, 1909, the price of sacks was still further hammered down by the co-opera tion and buying in large lots. The present year will be marked bv the lowest price of grain bags yet known. Now, Brother Farmer, we have re cently learned that when sacks cost us roc they cost the importer no mo e than they do now. The farm ers were also convinced that they were not getting a square deal from the system warehouses; shortage in weights, excessive storage rates, and many disadvantages in selling grain were a topi'- for constant conversa tion. Now thefaimersof Washing ton, Oregon and Idaho, are the own ers and operators ol about 125 Farm ers’ Union warehouses. All tell the same storj: Much better satisfied with weights, storage rates have been reduced to 50c, and still they deed .re dividends of from 10 to 30 per cent on their investment. Be sides, they have been aide to get 3c to 5c better prices for grain by hav ing their grain stored their own houses Through the efforts of the Union the freight on grain bags was reduced one third,and farmers have been granted the privilege of ware house sites bv the railroad compan ies at many shipping points. The Farmers’ Union secured the privilege to the farmer of allowing him to clean his grain Irefore testing, making a difference in the grade of many lots of wheat of re to 3c in favor of the producer. The raisin growers of California felt that they were not being treated right; the raisin trust would offer them but 2c to 3c for their raisins; at the same time this rasin trust was charging the retailers 9c. The rais in tnen organized into Farmers’ Un ion; wrote to locals in Oregon and other parts of California to help them out. They succeeded in less than three months in almost doub ling the old price to the grower and still the locals were paying only one-half the ordinary retail price. Four different comities in Oregon have bought through the Farmers’ Union several tons each of prunes, figs, peaches, honey and raiains at greatly reduced prices after almost doubling the price which was form erly paid the producer. This is co operation, and its work has just be gun.
