held Wednesday afternoon. p W.
Cox OF Colfax gave an excellent ad-
Gress in which he argued that the
farmers must organize in order to
hold their own in competition with

planned some OF the benefits which
the Farmers Union had secured Tor
its members. and outlined the plans
Of the state executive board Tor es-
tablishing a farmers bank, and a
wholesale buying agency. Mr. Cox

ments and emphasized the fact that

can save money by so doing. After
his address he answered numerous
questions and number of those
