Against this is the fact thut there
are some farmers who are making
money. even in tlr.s period OF dcpres-

prising the district chairmen of their

As district chairman, you are asked
to work with this office in advertising
the assembly among the farmers Of
your district. There isn't a rancher in
this county who has a corner on all

selves t. put more money in their

As the Allies are in better position
To enforce their demand and as the
