ADVOCATE AND GUIDE. 171 



Proceed. 



"You give a copy of this book to publishers of all farm 

 papers, especially in the big wheat-raising States, and ask 

 them to act as agents for it, and advertise it through their 

 papers if they approve of the farmers unionizing to get fair 

 wages and overhead expenses for their crops. They will 

 surely do it if they are really friends of the farmers. Then 

 get all the farmer boys and girls you can all over the United 

 States to write you for an agency for the book and thus get 

 it into the hands of farmers just as fast as possible. Now I 

 will order one thousand copies to sell to farmers, and as soon 

 as they are gone I'll be back for more." 



Bully for you! Those are good suggestions. I shall re- 

 quest the printer to rush off an edition at once to supply 

 you and the farm papers. If they are all as enthusiastic as 

 you are it will keep his press busy supplying the demand. 

 Then it will be but a short time until I get thousands of 

 calls for the organizers, and from the callers I shall select one 

 or more from each State to constitute the temporary or- 

 ganizing committee to incorporate the National Wheat 

 Growers' Union, adopt a constitution, and commission field 

 organizers. This plan gives the rank and file of the wheat 

 growers themselves the chance to inaugurate the movement 

 as they should do from their own numbers and class. In 

 the meantime I shall try to get up a tentative draft of a 

 constitution and by-laws to submit to the organizing com- 

 mittee. When anyone wants a local union organized it will 

 be up to him to convert the wheat growers of the district 

 to be organized to the minimum price system by getting 

 this little book into their hands. I shall arrange to give 

 any reliable person a commission agency for the book who 

 desires to aid in its distribution, and to publishers of all 

 farm papers who wish to aid the farmers in unionizing on 

 this plan. Those wishing to aid on the organizing committee 

 may write me stating age, experience in organizing work,
