STATE FARMERS UNION
WILL DISCUSS PLANS

Two hundred farmers from all
parts of Oklahoma will assemble at
Shawnee for the opening OF the
farmers union annual state conyen.
tion, which begins Tuesday to con
tinue until Saturday. August 81. Del
cgates from every local will be pres
ent, and numerous important ques-
tions will be considered.
The proposition Of building state
farmers union warehouse-one to
cost probably close to s1,000000, and
in which grains would be stored and
held until "a suitable price was Of
fered will be considered and plans
made for obtaining such a safeguard
Under the present system farmers
are forced to sell their grain as soon
as it is harvested whether the brok
er pays a profitable price or not. The
union warehouse. which has been
adopted in other states with much
success, would correct this evil and
insure the producer a fair margin oi
profit
Usury will also be discussed, and
plans adopted for defeating money
lenders who charged exorbltanl
rates More drastic state legislation
on this matter will be recommended
in resolutions adopted by the con
vention.
