The biggest bunch of farmers

blcd at one place III Holly met at
| the High School auditorium last
| Saturday afternoon to hear farm
er talk. A. b. Parish of Sterling.
Colorado gave a plain, convincing
! talk to the farmers and seemed to
carry them with him. even the
donbters. He said that the pur-
pose of the Wheat Growers Asso-
citation was to form a pool to sell
tleir wheat with the avowed in-
tention of finally controlling the
market of the nation and fixing
the price for wheat. II or II states
are NOW organized and three or
four others will enter In two

their object Each state is unit

The speaker declares there is
no real over surplus of wheat srom

It today? 1t is largely Imagination.
The same men who buy the wheat
on the open market are usually
the stockholders in our big banks

borrow largely from the Govern

Denver have volunteered the loan
