This is regarded as a fair return

farmers in two instances. One men
tions farmers association in con-
nection with labor unions which are
also exempted when not organized

The other clause states that no

tion of producers of farm products
and associations of farmers who CO
operate and organize in an effort to
and for the purpose of obtaining
and maintaining a fair and reason
