156 The Truth About the Poultry Business 



lished should books be written enticing people into the 

 poultry business. 



Now, in order to get these State stores, you must interest 

 yourself in politics. Search out "big business" in its lair and 

 destroy it with that weapon of every American — the ballot. 



"GO ONWARD, GO FORWARD TO VICTORY. THERE 

 CAN BE NO SURRENDER TO WRONG." It is your 

 victory for the asking, but you must come out of the ignor- 

 ance of ages. If you have any fighting blood left in your 

 body it must show itself. Your weapon is the ballot and 

 you must be skilled in its use. If you use the same method — 

 cooperation — that the interests are using, they are powerless 

 before your superior numbers; but if you continue to fight 

 without cooperating with your fellow poultrymen your supe- 

 rior numbers are powerless before their better-organized 

 forces. Herein lies the cause of the 95% of failures in the 

 poultry business — lack of co-operation at the ballot box. If 

 you ever get anything worth having you have got to wake 

 up and work for it. Organize, and think! If you imagine 

 you will ever get it by remaining apathetic, you are dreaming 

 a wilder 1 dream than my wild poultry dream.
