Big attendance has featured the meeting of the Farmers Union of Faulkner county at the courthouse yesterday and today, and a number of speakers have been heard, besides the transaction of business coming before the body It was said today that adjournment may be taken to- night or in the morning, change from the original plan to adjourn at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Speakers at the public meeting last night were T. R. Douglass and J. w. Holt of Conway, P. R. Barnes of Jones' boro and Louis H, Moore and J. C. Lowry of Little Rock.
 This morning, the union heard Governor McRae, a resume of whose address is published elsewhere in this paper, President V. D. Hill of the Conway Commercial Club, P. F. Cleaver, Tom Davis and T. M. Williams. MT. Hill for the business men of Conway welcomed the union men and pledged to them co-opera- tion in carrying out plans for the best interest of the county. MT. Cleaver made plea for a reduced cotton acreage and the production of food and forage crops.
 A plain statement of the reasons for the apparent friction between the farm demonstration service and the Farmers Union was made this morning by MT. Williams in his brief address to the body. Mir. Williams denied the unfounded assertions pre- sumably sponsored by the union that the farm service is under the con- trol of privileged interests, declaring emphatically that his work is for the building of better citizens and for farming by more advanced meth ods. Opposition inside the union to the farm demonstration work pre- cipitated sharp fight at the meeting of the state union, and it's effects have been more or less felt in this county.
 MT. Williams declared the inten- tion of the service to work for the building of better citizens and for farming by better methods, and pledged his cooperation to the un- ion in working for these goals. His address was a plain and sensible statement of the position taken by the farm workers in the field under the combined direction of the state and federal governments.
