A PLEA TO
 THE FARMERS
Richard Brown, the Warehouse Builder. Urges the People to
 Get Together and Act.

To the Farmers.
 My Dear Brothers: Tt is time you were waking up to the fact that the time has come when we have got to do something. The whole world is on the move. Every man and every business is ahead of the farmer. who is the backbone of the world today.
 Just think, if the farmers all over the country would go on a strike, the wheel of commerce would stop. Unite, cooperate and stick together. Build ware houses, hold your cotton and stand for the minimum prlce, II cents. Suck to the Farmers Union. Stick to your promise and to the principles.
 We must not lose sight of the fact that the farmer is the biggest of all "bears" when he rashes his cotton on the market when the market is not ready for it. He has only himself to blame if the price is not what it should be.
 Let Us not wait for the other fellow to go ahead; let us try to get their first. That is the way to win. Just look what the ware house has done for Texas in one years time.
 You say It is good thing and you want warehouse, but you don't make any effort to build one. You stand back and wait for the other fellow to go ahead. Now is the time for every fellow to get busy. Put your shoulder to the wheel and all push.
 We are now building ware houses in eight states in the cot ton country and expect in the next eighteen months to have enough warehouse room to hold most of tue entire crop. If some body IS to be absent at your union meetings let It be somebody else, you are needed at every meeting. Make 1907 the banner year for the farmers.
 came here in answer to your call 10 build warehouse here. been here about three weeks working hard for your interest and still you don't seem to realize your condition. Now, brethren, have done all l can do, it is up to you. R. Brown.
