Now that the farmers are stirring

to eradicate these Inequalities, they
are subjected to stern economic lee
tures. and are met with the accusation
that they nre demanding. and are the
recipients Of, special privileges. Let
US see what privileges the government
has conferred on the farmers. Much
has been made OF Section 6 OF the

ported to permit them TO combine with
immunity, under certain conditions.
