goal Industry has received sixteen
billion dollars in various ways in
eluding tariffs and concessions It
would only cost a few millions t??
boost farm prices to parity levels
If labor can sell its services for a
dollar that is worth a dollar, then
why can't the farmer sell his com
modities for a dollar that is worth
a dollar?
"The unfortunate thing is that tin
farmer never acts until his back is
against the wall. Despite that posi
tion. we. as farmers, have advanced
and are now in a position to deal
with our problems If other states
can maintain strong organizations
we cah do so here tn Martin Coun
ty and North Carolina Thost slate.
with strong organizations have fav
orable legislative records in their
assemblies and m,their representa
tive groups at Washington
"We have enough at stake to get
behind and support a strong farm j
organization And if labor can pay j
from $15 to $30 a year as dues, we '
can pay the small fee asked of us
in support of our organization. We
have accomplished something, real
J\ more than the average member
knows about, but we have hardly
scratched the surface. We spent last
year ,$26,000 foi research work in
promoting new markets, California
spent a million. Industry is getting
75 per cent and agriculture 25 per
cent of the money spent for promot
ing research arid other allied under
takings.
"Somebody has been asleep in let- ,
::::g North Carolina agricu+tirrr~hit
bottom."with cotton and tobacco We
must face the new problem, and we
will have to turn to the legislative,
halls to do it It has been said that
tnere is little legislation passed to--'
day for the common good of human
ity. that it is passed tb relieve the
pn>ssiibrought by organized |
groups. There are 600 paicT lobby- |
ists in Washington, and it agricul
ture is to advance, it must bt pre
pared to battle for its rights
"The time i> at hand when we
must tak? our business into pur own
hands We must work and muster

before us," Mr. Shaw concluded
