ers' Exchange” a new feature
of the want-ad department of

ber of want-ads which may be

THE VOICE OF
FRIENDLY HOMINY
VOLUME NUMBER XVII.
Tonight, at the Armory, Hominy
will be host to 500 or more farm-
ers of the south half of Osage
county. It will be the 10th con-
secutive year that the Farmers'
Reunion has been held in Hominy,
and is considered the outstanling
gathering of its kind in the state
of Oklahoma.
—SV—
, Business men of Hominy believe
in maintaining the friendly rela-
tions with our farm people. They
tire genuinely interested in the
fanners’ welfare. This is as it
should be, for although the farm-
er is often considered the “for-
gotten man," he is the very back-
bone of our civilization.
< - SV_
The state of the nation's pros-
perity is in direct ratio to the
thickness of the farmer's purse.
The purchasing power of Ameri-
ca’s millions in great cities and in
small towns and in little villages,
In fact, the purchasing power of
the dollar itself, rests in the final
analysis, on farm income.
—SV_
If farming is the nation’s larg-
est single industry, it therefore
follows that the welfare of the far-
mer is the nation's largest single
concern.
—SV—
• No national policy can succeed
unless it has the farmer’s sym-
pathy’ and interest. No candidate
for high office can be elected with-
out the farmer's support. The
farmer therefore is the most im-
portant and the most powerful
man in America today. In spite ot
the phenomenal growth of indus-
try, in spite of the mass movement
of population to the great cities,
the nation’s gross farm income is
over eight BILLION dollars
roughly one-seventh of the total
national income. No other indus-
Jry, no other group of industries,
neither steel nor motors nor rail-
roads nor building nor oil even ap-
proaches it!
The farmer is America's largest
single market. No product that is
made and sold can achieve truly
national distribution unless the
farmer uses it. Millions of people
are working in automobile, radio,
clothing, furniture and electrical
appliance factories today because
the farmer has been convinced
that the things made in those fac-
tories are essential to his scheme I
of life.
- SV—
Given a few years of good crops
with fair prices for farm products.
America would have no longer any
qeed of the complcated system of
relief now in effect in this coun-
—SV—
The future of Osage county does
not rest in oil or mineral develop-
ment. That is at its best only tem-
porary wealth. In the near future
t will be necessary for us to pay
more attention to development of
bur farm resources. Every farm
n Hominy’s trade area is a poten-
tial factory with a year-round pay-
boll. To obtain the greatest pos-1
bible benefit from these resources
If the soil, more concerted atten-
tion needs to be directed to diver-
sification of crops, soil erosion,
■try and poultry development,
Ld to the livestock industry.
