A word of warning to all in regard
to agents that are selling c%ultivators.
They have an order which they want
you to sign which is a binding con-
tract as good as your note to them.
They will not let you know it if they
can help it. They have got several of
the best men in my neighborhood to
sign those orders and forced the ma
chimes on them. The Price is $45. I
say to all farmers to let the agents stay
in the big road and let the company
employ men of their own county to
sell for them and if as good as they
say, all right, if not let them make it
all right through the men who sell for
them. Wishing the State organ and
the Order much success, l remain
yours in reform work.
