A good sum of money has been, subscribed to date which, as it comesj in, will help finance work on the Warehouse. There have been a series of , delays in getting started,' but work began on Monday, October 30th, : with John Baxter Merrill as construction foreman, and a gang of ! men who started right in to dig for the foundation. Things will be speed ed up as much as possible and the warehouse will be ready for business January 1, 1923. Farmers who have time or lumber to put into their warehouse should see Mr. Merrill and arrange to put it in. The Federation will pay current j market prices and any one can work I out a share or so of stock in this way. Remember, a warehouse can not be built on air, nor a marketing organization run on talk. The farm ers of that district know that the Federation can help them if they make it their own they have seen it working at Fairview, at Craggy, at Weaverville. But it takes some push to get on in any business. Have the farmers of Fletcher district any push? That's what we all want to know, and we're watching them now to find out.

But just now we are still children at our job and have to learn, and we do not want to spread out until we learn to keep our feet. Progressive farmers out Fletcher way wanted the Federation to come among them. Now, as the roll is called, let every farmer answer up as best he can, with cash, work, or lumber and that way the farmers go into busi ness for themselves, which is the only sure way to win.
