Last summer the agent of the

Erected and Owned by Union Mem
bers in Georgia.
There have been erected in Geor-
gia some fifty or sixty small cotton
warehouses in the last three or four
years owned and controlled exclu-
sively by members of the Farmers
Union. These warehouses have been
operated with varying degrees of
success, and have in many instances
enabled farmers to hold onto their
cotton, instead of disposing of it at
prices that were unsatisfactory.
In some cases it has been a strug-
gle with the farmers to hold onto
these warehouses, but in many cases
they are now out of the woods. An
interesting illustration comes from
Floyd county, where the Union ware
house a year ago scarcely had mon
ey enough to meet it's outstanding
obligations. The farmers deter
minedly held on, however, and today
within a period of twelve months,
they have accumulated $4,000 over
