ERCE'S LETTER, ti 6nii Grows dliferela, aoe Explained- Qood ThatKM Been to Gsorge W. Pierce, chairman of the California Grain Growers' Association, has Issued the following circular letter addressed to the grain growers of California: Gentlemen: No doubt many of you hare wondered why theGraln Growers' Association has not been more In evidence than it has been during the last few weeks. Some, perhaps, have gotten quite out of patience because we neither shipped grain nor floated literature. The time has now come when we are ready to answer for our silence. In a few words we will tell 'you why we did not actively engage in shipping grain.

Early in the season some shrewd business men sized up the' exporting business and decided there was money in it this year. What part of the work our association played in throwing light upon the formerly mysterious business of grain shipping will be Iqft for you to conjecture. When we recall the fact that at the time inception freights were above the 40 shilling mark, and that within three months from that tlme they were below. 30 shillings, you will at least agree that the formation oE the association was not a detriment to the farmer. some say that other influences wrought the change, we answer that it was a strange; coincidence that these, "influences" should have waited through these many years of trying times for the grain grower only to make themselves felt at the time the farmer began to assert himself, and demand his rights.

We do not claim to have revolutionized the business, nor yet to have pushed anybody to the wall. We did, however, set on foot certain lines of investigation that have borne fruit, and today every grain grower In California is being benefited as a result of those investigations. The work that we had In view when the organization was undertaken was to charter ships, load grain furnishec! by the growers, and sell the cargoes on the most advantageous terms. No fictitious values could then play a part in the transaction. The farmer would get all to which he was entitled.

As we advanced in expertness by doing, we would save numerous commissions that ara now charged against us. These, many would bridge tho slough between profit and loss and save us many wadlngs that we have been accustomed to take. Soon after our -inquiries began we learned of the contemplated, action of the Independent grain buyers and exporters who are In the market today. They proposed to do just what we had outlined as our plan of action. They were in business, understood it, and had either capital or credit to carry the venture through a satisfactory test It seemed a wiser plan to watch their movements, since our going into the field at that time would simply inject dlstrublng element the ranks of our friends.

The success of these Independent buyers brings to the farmer the same benefits that would accrue to him from' the success of the Growers' Association acting as an exporter. All this was to be realized without the expenditure of a dollar the chartering of a ship or the taking of a. single business risk. The independent local exporters, of whom there are more than half a dozen, and the English buyers who have come here to buy on their own account, are having a hand to hand flght with the grain kings of California. These independent buyers have chartered ships.

To prevent them from securing cargoes with which to load these ships, our big grain manipulators have run up the local price of grain until there Is but little margin left for profit for the exporter. All this, of course, pleases the farmer, since.for once, at least, he Is getting all his grain is worth under existing conditions of the foreign market anil present freight rates. If the grain kings succeed In driving the independent buyers from the market prices will drop, and the farmer will be compelled to part with his product at prices below Its real value in order to make good the losses sustained by the exporters in the fight with the Independent buyers. Should that condition of things be realized, and we sincerely hope it will not be, there will be un a the Grain Growers Association to take up the work. This association should stand ready to begin active operations at any time Its active services may not be needed this year, they may not be needed for some years to come, but when they are needed the farmers should see that the association has a royal backing.

The legitimate competition In the grain business Is now so great that the California grain grower, if he is to continue In the business, must spend ft little time and money to. protect his Interests. He can no longer trust the care of his business to the uncertain handling of those whose chief motive for being In the business Is to extort from him all commissions they think he can itand. A farmers' association that the hearty and cordial support of the farmers generally can checkmate most of the sharp practices of which we are now made the victims. But to do this successfully the association must bmve no half-way support it genuine.

Money must be raised to properly conduct builafcM, and must he kept with the most scrupulous earn. The work not be left to a few hundred It wai this year, to a few men to conduct the Imsl- ueas, to the neglect of their private affairs. There 'Ifa great work to do, and we are all vitally interlaced In it. To make the affair the success it deserves to be there must be no The stakes are high enough to entice the best talent obtainable. The profitable marketing of 140,000.000 worth of produce depends upon the success of a strong farmers' organization.

Any person of average ability can see from the experience of this year what the possibilities before a farmers' organization are. Then, too, there a this fact back of a strong permanent It will be In the field to stay. Its very existence will be a' permanent available asset of the Galfforula farmer. It will be a slanting notice to all Interested parties the farmer Is determined to have he full value of his produce at all times. When so organized the farmer hold the key to the situation.

Au Investment of 5 cents a ton on grain raised In the state for protection purposes, and a better understanding of the business, would make a net return to the California farmers of. not less than one million dollars besides adding the element )f prosperity and permanency to his tiling. Yours truly, GEO. W. PIERCE, President California Grain Growers' Association.
