ORGANIZATION AND COOPERATION
(By J. C. JONES)
. Perhaps mors clearly , than at any
. time in our Jdatory- we are being
t, taught today that the only safe anc
% sure road for our people to travel is
i that of Cooperation. Everywhere, ii
t:,«very business and industry the cal
of Cooperation, rings ogU
mAj* The present national administratioi
in its mighty efforts to lift the bian
tket .of depression that has coverei
;this country, steadily and insistent!
S gives the warning that it cannot dee
with individuals. Its spectacular pro
] gram of i recovery can only be put a
-through- organization. Every day tb
j,«f; call to organize and go forward 01
j all fronts challenges.
Industry and commerce is organiz
ed more strongly today than probabl;
. at any time before. These organize
groups are presenting their codes a
,, cooperation to the President ever
day. Labor organizations are give
Striking Governmental recognitio:
with the result that they are growing
Sn numbers and in strength. All aloni
■ ■ the line, or along moat of the line, or
X ganization and cooperation are grow
- ing. '
More impressively than at any tim
before the Government is saying f
. fanners, “Organize and Cooperate.1
It has said repeatedly that it canno
deal with individuals. More effective!
and in a larger way than ever organ!
“■ ed farmers are cooperating. When thi
President called fur a program fa
. the improvement of agricultural con
ditiona only the organized farmers an
swered. They met in Washington a
the request of the Government am
' there with Government officials work
j ed out definite plans for the relief o;
"the producers of the different majoi
:i, ’ 1 crops. As a result of these conference:
of farm organization leaders seed anc
fertilizer loans were again made thi:
year; plans were made for the reduc
tion in acreage of cotton and some
other crops; plans for payment to be
made to those farmers who cooperat
' ed in destroying a part of their crop; (
plana for a processing tax on the crops .
as they pass through the mills to raise
the money for the expense of eliminat- ^
ing excess acreage in certain crops,
etc., etc. !
The results of the work of organ ia
ed farmers with the Government to
1 aid agriculture has been, remarkably
' good. Due almost entirely to their
l work the price of cotton and wheat
have advanced almost fifty per cent.
L For the first time in several years the
' cotton farmer is looking to the mar
1 keting season with a hope well found*
! ed. IFor his cotton he is at last expect
ing cost plus some profit. The cotton
South because of the work of its or
ganized farmers is on the upgrade and
looking to the future with a new hope.
In direct contrast to the organized
and planning cotton, wheat, dairy,
livestock! and fruit farmers the plight
of the planless and unorganized to
1 bacco farmer is conspicuous. Over the
■ tobacco belt we hear the cry of low
■ prices being paid by the wealthy and
powerful tobacco interests. Here and
yonder little group meetings of farm
1 era send out their call for help, to
! make the tobacco companies pay them
J more money. The little scattering cries
! for help go up in many places, making
E!an impressive volume of helplessness
as they join in a whole chorus. No
strong organized demand for help for
them is heard, with plans to back the
help. There are no leaders to make the
plans or to send out the calls, with
powerful organizations at their backs
to put the plans into effect with Gov
, eminent help. The Government tolls
them it has the mens for effectively
helping them but that it cannot worn
with- individuals, that it is only as an
organization that it can reach them.
It is the day of organizations. The
organized industries, the organized
labor, the organized farmers are ad
vancing.
