Greeting to All Members of the
Farmers Union in Lane County
Thli lague of the Farmers’ Union New» 1» the first copy
published in lAU.e County which Is exclusively a fanners
Ulnon paper. Our efforts have been fruitful, we now have
an Instrument by which we can get In closer touch and be
come more ami better acquainted with our neighbors. It
Is the aim of the editors and the County officials U j build
this paper from a mere single sheet to worth while sized
newspaper. We, meaning members of the Lnlon, will only
gK out of our paper Just what we put Into it. reporters
fro mall the locals are urged ami requested to each week
contribute something In the way of news which will be of
interest to the readers, you do not necessarily have to be
a reporter If any of the member» have a story or anything
niff to tell pleas.* let the editors have it. The Union has ap
proximately 1575 »»embers in the county, this represents,
we will say, 700 homes.
.
Dear friends with much persuasion the editors started
this paper with fewer subscribers than the Farmers Union
agreed to furnish- Cannot we all spare the small sum for
subscription to put the Farmers' Union News in every mem
bers household. I believe it can be done If all the members
who have n J? yet subscribed will send the county secre
tary and treasurer their name and address and the sub
scription price.
