stop at the resolution demanding
cancellation of the crop loans. IF

League will rally the farmers for
militant resistance to any attempt
on the part of the collectors TO
take their crops.
Intensified organizationA activ-
ity among the farmers of the
county is being initiated in order
that solid front of all the i'm
poverished farmers of the county
will face any collector gang that
will try to take from the farmers
every last bit that they get out
of their crops.

is completed and, !
WHEREAS the payment of
various seed and feed loans by
the farmers to the government
of its agencies at the present
low prices of crops will result in
extreme restitution for our
families during the coming win

most of our abilities, therefore
