This being true we rise to submit a few questions to those pinhdbkers, | speculators, auctioned 3,' warehousemen and warehouse pets who are | fighting so desperately from ambush ( and for the consideration of "very < honest and thinking farmer who is j yet hesitating. , 1. Why do you. fight f Why should you worry as to what we do with , what we have made by the sweat of , our own brow under the scorching rays of a burning sun while you were j resting serenely at some cool sum- , raer resort? Why shrpld it be any of your business if we should choose to , place our tobacco (as one has said) in cold storage at the North Pole and sell it to the Eskimos, or why should ' you butt in in case .we should choose , to redry it under the blaring suns of ( the tropics and sell it to the Hoten. tots of the South Seas islands T , 2. In ca?e you are going to Itgnt "j why do ycu do It all from ambush? s Why ia it that time after time in ( scores of places you sat -like dum- j mies when challenge after challenge and invitation after invitation hpd A ht-r from th? public platform j for you to oomo out in the open ,an<k ^ publicly defend your position as a p man? 1 i 3. If the auction system' is Mi on- ( ly way to dispose of tobacco, as you try to persuade farmers to believe, why ia it that the R. ,J-'R. and other . big companies to not sell their finish- j ed product by this method?" j 4. Why ia it that tW> merchant em- t ploys this wonderful method of disposing of his goods oplv occasionally when be finds himself overstocked with old goods which must be moved regardless of price? 5. In case tlJj suction system spells prosperity, comfort and happiness for the tobacco producer why ia it J that there has been' a constant in- | crease in farm mortgages amd ten- j ancy thruout the tobacco belt during i the l??t fifty years? i 6. If co-operative marketing is the a rotten and abominable thing that you c tell farmers that it is (when you get a them out one at the time) why is it ? that farm mortgages and tenancy has j s constantly decreased in California jr and Denmark, the real homes of co-!g ?H"" v?* nelraf tnn> rill finer til* IflSt I twenty-five veers? _ |s 7. Why is it that the state bank- f era' association of California and al- ( a ao of Kentucky endorse co-operative 1 0 marketing after seeing it tried out ), in their own state? c 8.

If it won't wrrk with tobacco s why is it that thousands of farmers c have signed in Kentucky this year p t- who lost co'.or waited to see. ? 10.
