J. s. Cullen was made chairman of
the meeting.
Mr.. Sharp was introduced by
county president S. =. Robertson,
and for nearly two hours the people
listened with undivided attention
while the speaker. in the strongest
and most convincing argument, told
how every industry except that OF
agriculture is organized, and how
that without organization the farm
er is the common victim and prey
of all. He showed that while We in
this section had allowed divisions to
cripple the great organization, of
Equity, in other States and other
sections the A. S. OF II. mas been
growing and doing business on real
business principles and results indi-
cate that this organization has now
lived over it's experimental exist
ence and has taken her place as one
of the great factors in the business
world to-day. The farmers of the
counties of the Green River District
will have an opportunity to join
their efforts for the betterment of
the farmers condition with this
tried and successful organization
and again be free and independent
in so far as the powers of trusts are
concerned.
