Farmers Must Organize to Give Agriculture a Voice
John A. McSparran, master of the State Grange, told Chalfont farmers they must unite to protect agriculturists. He compared big business and labor, saying farming needs organized headquarters like Washington to have a loud, effective say in national affairs and during wartime pricing. He urged forming a nationwide structure with 6,000,000 farmers to compel action, citing wartime wheat, cotton, and wool price distortions. The speaker warned against profiteering by processors and emphasized the eight-hour myth, calling for strong, centralized agricultural leadership and a dedicated headquarters in Washington.
