172 FARMERS' UNION AND FEDERATION 



how many years they have raised wheat, how many bushels 

 annually, and give the address of their banker and two wheat 

 growers as reference. When I get representative wheat 

 raisers from several States on the organizing list I shall call 

 them together to organize the union, elect their officers and 

 take full charge of all its organizing work until the union is 

 established and its elected officers are ready to assume their 

 duties. When this book is well distributed among wheat 

 growers there should develop a big demand for organizers of 

 township unions in all the big wheat raising States, and my 

 plan would be to commission a State organizer for each 

 State, who would in turn commission county organizers for 

 counties in the State, who would organize the township 

 unions, thus mobilizing the full strength of wheat growers 

 into the union in the shortest possible time.
