Mr. Barrett was elected to head r organization for the seventh com. five time, and before leaving f,, home in Atlanta entered active!' „ his new year’s pork. President Barrett speaks moder of the directing part he played in t.w e convention just concluded, but h-* tl j most interestingly of the grea- org H ? tzatton he heads, its past and it- rj ture. Under a wise and watchful adm!n*s tration. the Farmers union has du, oped into by far the most militant an aggressive organization the fanneri America ever have had. Its < E nooga convention was attended by egates from every state in the I n ~ Hard Class to Organize. Discussing th e organization and w,,rk of the Farmers union.

"In addition, ihe founders had rp combat the distrust of all organiza tions of such ehara'cter. because of t.ne many failuies in the past. Such fail ures could be traced to several cause? Foremost among them, perhaps, wa selfishness on the part of leaders, wh. were bent upon using the farmer ,> advance their own personal fortun .- whether running for governor, sheriff, congressman or even in the channels of Commerce. Once such men had " n what they were seeking, the organiza tion. which they had harmed rather than helped by their influence, speed' became a secondary factor in tin > lives. Efforts to organize the farp ■ had previously failed, too. because : e members, encouraged by their short sighted leaders, went to pieces on the rocks of partisan pqlitics. Now.
