 Bad weather continues over the belt and the delay in new crop preparations becomes more and more factor in price stimulation.

FIRST WORK OF LEAGUE

srThe Farmers Protective league was organized in 1917 for the purpose of fighting for a fair price for our first big diversified crop of those years. We contended then that on the value of oil as quoted on the market, the value of corn as quoted on the market and the value of feed as quoted on the mar ket we should have $50 for cotton seed f$120 for peanuts, s1.50 for corn and SEQ for velvet beans and other things if proportion. In less than three weeks from the time the league was formed these products reached the prices we contended for and we ceased our ac- tivities until the present moment. Now we feel that there should be a renewal C our activities and an enlargement 0 our organization.
 'eTherefore, I, Joseph O. Thompson, president of the Farmers Protective 4 ! eague of America. hereby call a meet ing of the members of the league in the city of Montgomery in the house of representatives, at the state capitol, w ednesday, March ,, 1919, at 12 o'clock, sncon, for the purpose of more thor zoughly organizing and devising way 8 and means that the farmer may be able to get a fair price for their cotton; and to further formulate plans of organi- ations by which the farmers of Ala zbana may protect themselves from omen and notorious robbery that is at zths time going on in many ways, and further suggest that all farmers who may be interested in protecting them- .selves in unlawful speculation and ~unjust methods of that class of people -who have always taken advantage of Ethe farmers in the day of their great 'sneed, meet with us in Montgomery on ethe above named date and come to work and plan and organize in our Hown interest We shall have a full and free discussion by farmers Throughout the state and hope to con- tinuc the meeting in session for two
