An appeal has beea, sent out from
headquarters to the workers to put
their shoulder to the wheel during the
remaining days OF the drive; to pull
together and push together and wind
up the campaign with a huge over

TO FARMERS

A number of cattle growers of this
County are planning shipping their
cattle this year 10 cooperative way,
This plan has been proven to be a
success and there is no use of us
questioning it. THIS plan links the
little farmer with two or three COWS
direct with the market and he gets
the market that day and does not
pay the speculator price to handle
his stock.
/ notice that our cattle ars all
getting fat and | think it would be
best for us to start the shipping at
once.
Hogs, cattle, sheep and wool may
be shipped in the same way. For
hogs we can put them in with cattle
this giving us a mixed car.
The wool is one of our biggest
crops 10 this county and we should
sell this is way as to get the mos t
out of it.
II each of you wool and cattle
growers will write me what you have
for sale, and where you want to sell
it. it will enable me to give you more
efficient service.
/ am trusting that you each and
every one will give this some thought
and let me hear from you at once.
/ am,
Yours for cooperation
