te. the union was congratulated on its

Union is Growing.
National Secretary-Treasurer A. Z.
Davis, in his report to State Secre-
tary-Treasurer J. Whitner Reid, shows
that there has been a gratifying in
crease in the membership in this State
The committee thinks this increase is
due to the representatives stressing
the basic principles of the organiza-
ton, namely, education, cooperation
and general uplift work among the
farmers in the State. Texas and Mis-
sissippi have likewise made an IN
crease. The committee believes the
increase i'm these three States is due tc
emphasizing warehouse and general
cooperation.
