their desire to coperate with the Or

Many OF the banks have signified

feel that it means long step forward
in bringing Independence and pros

putting it upon q moro SECURE and
solid foundation.
I'VE believe the farmers need to
adopt more modern and more bust
nesS-like methods. and unless they do
this there can be no hopes OF lifting
their occupation from it's present de-
preston and putting it upon the Or
Eanized and systematic basis ~ that
other enterprises rest upon. We see
in Cooperative marketing the first
and most solid hope for accomplish
ing this. We look upon it as sensible
bhsiness-iike effort>fo~ incrsase agri-
cultural prosperity and think that
farmers should join with each other
in this enterprise. If you haven't
joined. don't stand back and let your
operative marketing in our opinion, is
here to stay. and we are all going to
benefit by it. Therefore, don't wait
until the last drive is made but join
