Looking at it from the standpoint of

business. there seems to be too much
doing by the large cotton warehouse
men to discourage farmers in building
and owning their own warehouses,
Now, we are OF the opinion that this
Farmers Union movement has reached
that stage in numbers and strength
that we can safely say to all these in
surance agents and other heuchmen
of tbs opposition to the farmers ware
house business, that we are not going
to have any more bonbooslipg and
