THE FRANKLIN TIMES A. F. JOHKSON, Editor ud Oh Iwr II. M I??Uu 1.? Six Months 75 F*ar Months 60 Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Aitafd th* Poa^jDglce at Louis- ] frurg, n. C.. as second class mutter. ~ P0 NOT For some reason Mr. G. H. Purger ?on lias failed to understand the ar tide recently published in the Frank im i HBtfB and ia ma Ute 6bjmi w m Jflifili ly piihHtthftri In the NflWfl Observer concerning a letter he wrote in regard to Co-operative Marketing. To criticise Mr. Pergerson was for eign to us as we had never given that _ idea. -a thought, but what we were try lag t o impress on his mind as well as ? ffpat T>^.ony *?-?? t?n* 4mprtr. tance of the responsibility one held towards his community. We don't be lie^Jp he seriously disagrees with' ub ^ lb that posticultfr. ? ^He points to Louisburg as an exam . pie ojC failures of 4he farmers organi zations. We presume h? had refer* ?nce to the Farmers Union Tobacco Warehouse and the Farmers Co-open, ative Storage Warehouse. If so we ? can assure him that there is absolute ly no comparison between these and the Co-operative Marketing Associa tions. He is getting a stock company organized for profit alone, with the ownership of the stock in the hands of a few individual farmers to a non-pro fct and non stick association whose on ly duty is to make sales at a profit for its members. As a matter of fact the farmers tobacco sales warehouse, tvhich was owned and operated by a .few individual farmers, would have had greater success if it had contin ued the management of Mr. W. D. Fuller, one of Franklin's best business men, but they didn't. And the Stor- 1 age house was converted into a store whose friendship the farmer should age farmer an iota of benefit. This comparison is absolutely unfair, and also the charges made by Mr. Perger son that "some. of. Ihe people that worked against the Tjnion are work ing fnr th<? fn.npprattnn' - ? The facts i crated any warehouse storage house { or any other business in Louisburg.

Dm in ? 1'jiiO his crops were taken from him at les^ than cost of producsron z> y organiza- ' lions working for the interest of their nvembds and agfffnst the farmer. If he is sincere in his statement that he "wants to see the day when the farm ? er will be uigunizeu'' then he re not getting any credit for such desires in Lis present attitude. We are glad to see him committed to education, but we can also show him by experience, that v.nere educa tion is a grand and groriou^fcosses- 1 sion it does not eliminate the neces sity for organization as trie world re cognizes that "United we Scand, divid ed we fall" K Just as li ue *uday as it wan fi hand red years ago. To us it seems that if he is as much intereat ec' in education as he expresses he will i!s? every effort to educate hi? pcH ple toward better living -.?ordition3 through the only remedy nov: offered ? thf Co-operative Marketing. There is no dcubt but that Mr. Edi son and other inventors thought for / tbeir-sclves. But like the farmer. thinking would not proouce the as sistance they were compelled to have to succeed, so they w#re wining to con form their idea of thinking to the ideas of others whose business abili ty and finance would put them on the ri?ad to success. Ope of the moat erroneous ideas Mr. Pergerson. as well as many others, have i* those who are endorsing ancT helping to put these associations over are trying to tell \he farmer how to. farm. There is absolutely no ques tion of production invoived in tfar t Co operative Marketing plana. The whole and sole question is the appli cation of business to the sale of the crops after they have been made /The ^d tlm* that has grown gray with age, to remedy their condi tions and they are today using anti quated methods that have been dis ?ago that it swms utihsurd to attempt a connection. If the fanners have the business ability to nandle their crops after thev arc mad? thev ha.v? not shown it, as other concerns, who ?re organised and have the ability are making millions of dollars out of the lcbors of the farmers who are not get ting cost of production. Therefore it looks to us that the farmers should welcome the assistance of business .men who have proven therr ability by baring lai^l aside a pram nfinr u et)m fortable living to help them to apply a little business to the selling of their crops so that they may receive a fair ?portion" or tbe profit that is made In the sale of their "crops. It is exceed ingly ungrateful on thq part of f&rm era_ certainly those who are suppos ed to occupy a position that would en title them to know better, to charge these mon, who are honestly trying to bring about a better condition to our farms, with intrigue and dishon esty of purpose. If there was any duping of farmers in the references Mr. Pergerson made it was by the farmers and not business men . No one objects, however, to the charge of selfishness on the part of the business men, if that will be any consolation to anyone, as they thor oughly expect to increase thetr busi ness ami accumulations when the far rier is furnished with money suffic ient to gratify his needs. But you will have to give the business men credit for enough generosity to assist the farmer to get hold or It first. They a decent . profit on his crops thai he j\?i!l buy met CiQtliea, better vehicles, Taoor saving machinery bo'h for the home auc the farm, and get some oi the pleasures in life that God Almigh ty intended.
