1t ls high time that cotton growers
read the riot act to these cotton manip-

The farmers nniun row have in it's

growers, and the organization is grow
ing like green grass in the cotton rows
In rainy weather.
Georgia has just organized q State

for these feVorites will be plenty.
these two organizations will combine

afraid the chips will fall in your dinner

Are you planning to have a picnic at
your local Union and wind up this
county compaign for fairness with O

Bring out Ghe unorganized farmers
and show them that all this movement
means is to benefit the farmer, and that
we cannot accomplish all we should do
without his aid. Make it plain to them
that we cannot expect to control others
until we control ourselves. We must
not quarrel with others for turning the
profits of our great atapl aple-cotton-into to
the Golfers of other organized bodies
when we have refused to organize our
selves to keep that which already be-
longs to us. Tell these slow-going
