EVERYTHING is in readiness for a
great meeting of the North Caro
lina State Farmers' Union, in Dur
ham, November 16, 17, and 18, accord
ing to the full program given in The
Progressive Farmer week before last.'
The following points may need reit

o'clock Tuesday morning. After the
address of welcome, etc., Hon. J. L.
McLaurin will speak on "The South
Carolina State Warehouse System:
How It Works." Tuesday afternoon
the annual addresses of , President
Alexander and Lecturer Green will
be given. Tuesday night John Sprunt

. Labor-saying Machinery as Cheaply
as Capitalist Farmers Get Them
ALOCAL Union that I visited re
cently is demonstrating the'prac
ticability and economy, of cooperation
by neighborhood groups! The' coop

or more members of this Local in' the

There is no greater opportunity for
constructive service through neigh
borhood cooperation, also for the
elimination of waste, than in this field
of cooperation. In fact, there is no
other, way for the average individual
farmers to merge their capital to
avoid duplication and waste and be
able 'to compete" with the capitalistic
farmers. in economic production.

small farmers, represents an appall

less capital to waste thaiy farmers. To
succeed on the farm requires better
business judgmentand more rigid
economy than is required in any other
occupation. We can stop some big
leaks by the application of the princi
ple of neighborhood cooperation in
supplying the needed farm equipment
as well as in collective purchases of
the things we cannot raise on the
farm. If you own an expensive piece
of farm machinery that is standing
idle and rusting out a part of the sea

some shares to neighboring members
