NFO NEWS (Editor's Note) The following article and all NFO Articles are the opinions of the local reporter. Mrs. Edith Snyder, and not necessarily the views of this newspaper. We are reporting their sentiments as reported by Mrs. Snyder and not as reported by the Independent-News Co.) Get With It “N« Price — No Production" All non-members should immediately join NFO and become a part of the effort. The NFO has had the greatest surge of new members In the history of the organiaalion. Agricultural produc-

ers by the tens of thousands are realizing daily that the NFO offers the only hope and is leading the fight for fair prices. The all commodity holding action covers the area from Maine to California and from the state of Washington to Florida. NFO is now organized in 40 states. Milk and other commodities will be added at the opportune times so NFO can reach a climax of strength on all commodities at about the same time so It will be truly an all commodity holding action designed to shut down the agricultural plant if necessary until contracts and fair prices are achieved. False rumors are being spread by processors and buyers that the NFO holding action is about to be called off. This is absolutely not true. The all commodity holding action will continue until contracts are signed and NFO prices arc secured. Agricultural producers must get their prices now. There is almost no opposition of Agricultural producers to the effort, but this is not enough. Every producer should join the NFO now. No one except NFO members and other sympathetic producers want NFO to win. Some rural businessmen, bankers and PCA officials realize that the accounts receivable cannot be paid nor loans be repaid until producers get a fair price for the production they now own. The only way producers can get a fair price for the products they now own is to refuse to sell those products at the present, low prices. The only reason agricultural producers are receiving the present low prices is becaus eenough of them have been wdlling to sell their products at these low prices. The decision that agricultural producers are making this day, this minute, this hour and in the days and weeks ahead will determine whether they are going to continue to receive the present low prices.
