FREE ADVICE FOR
FARMERS
In thaae daya of agitation nmong
tha farmer* an to how to get a fair i
price for hi* farm product*, It la In
order to gi»a fraa advice, at laaat we'
aa" much advice handed out to Mm.
la la a common night to aaa a bunch j
of eitiaana mart In aome public place
and fraHy dlaeuaa tha po-o para tire
movement One of tha atock argue
went* agalnat It, la that ao many'
fimni ara not In financial poaltlon j
to aall by tha co-oparatlva plan, for
tha raaaon that thay arr head-orrr
h*-al« In dabt and muat hava every rant
thay gat for thalr tobacco to mart |
obligation! that in praaaing. From |
tha talk ona would conclude that aoma
farmer* ara not joining tha aaaocia
Urm for thr raaaon that thay ire n-it
tuproaad to got all thalr monar wVen
thay aril thalr tobacco
All of which la natural and *'and»
la tha way of thoaa mm who arr in
WC, and alao of thalr neighbor* who
naad thalr oo-oporatlon In thla affort
to got fair price* There I* an >ld
aaytag that a man muat be In debt
before he will *ave money, and moat
people aubacrlhe to thla opinion, but
it la alao a fact thai the man who la In I
debt la. to a large extent, thr alave I
of aome other man, Man of thla
country, by the thouaand, are hamper |
ed by debt and will never he free to
take n stand for their highest food
until they learn that debt In a burden
that moot be thrown off at the quick
est possible moment.
It la no doubt true that many farm
ers are staying out of the association
for the simple reason that they are In
debt. And if thin in true It stands
to the intereata of those who are
mem hem to rome to the assistance of
those farmer* who are In debt. If this
can be done. Of course there are
those who sre no hopelessly tnvolvsd
that it would be sheer folly to try to
tide them over their financial diffi
culties. But there are many farmers
who are involved to no great extant,
but ret enough to cause them to hesi
tate to take any step that would pre
vent them from using the entire value
of their tobacco crop.
If all this Is true it appears to us
to be good business for the association
to give aid to those farmers who find
themselves involved. In this way theyj
can he lined up with the association
and help to make it a succcss.
The decree of success thst will
come to the association will be de
termined hy the degree of united co
operation of all the farmers. Just to
the e*ter» that they stand together
will they he able to reap the most
benefit from this effort. Unless some
way can be found to get a great!
majority of the farmers to line up snd j
stay lined up but little |r»-od can come i
to those who do Join.
Labor leaders have generally advis
ed against anything in the nature of
force being used to try to get the op
position to line up. They insist that
where a man will not Join the or
ganization the way to get him la to
go to him and with reason and per
suasion try to get him to see that It is
to his best interests to join with
them. And we suspect that If a com
mittee of farmers in each neighbor
hood would make careful Inquiry Into
the reason why some of their neigh
bors do not Join with them, thay
would find some hindering cause that
they could readily remove, either by i
advice or hy some small financial as- i
sistance. This is a time when wisdom
and common sense are needed to make i
the co-operative movement a success. |
