As soon as the benefits of the association were made manifest through its operations, it took on a comparatively rapid growth and extended to several states in the Midwestern United States , where a number of local or county associations were formed. At a general meeting of the association held at Springfield, Illinois in November, 1890, it was decided to send delegates to the Southern Farmers' Alliance convention at Ocala, Florida the following month. Delegates were accordingly selected, and although the association maintained for some time afterward a separate existence as an organization, it really became a part of the Farmers' Alliance movement, the effects of which were felt all over the country.
