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. A more systematic exchange
of farm products has been planned
