I committee heading the mus meeting1 land promoting the intareat of farm I era la this section in cooperative marketing, believes that farmer· will flock to Dunn on that day, realizing ι that their interest ts at stake. In connection with the interest now being manifested In cooperative mar keting by farmer* ia Haraett, the following is clipped from Thursday's Nawa and Obaerver: "Frank M. Harper, after a two weeks' canvass of Harnett County In th· interest of. co-operative mar keting of cation hnd tobacco, coma* hack with the conviction that this U 1 an new, he My·, U ntnljr Tô 'ihtui As Ctlifami· ha* prospered under thm system ·( marketing. so will North Carotins prosper if the iyM«n la adopted," ujn Mr. Harper. "Hut If we are to succced in OTu> treat talk, much work will be necewary. I Rod th· farmer* not opposed to (t but in many cum they hesitate to sign the contracta becauac they do not fully understand just what it moan». They need sneaker* and local men who can corral à crowd at the school house· in every district to hear the/· speakers. Some have made up their minds to sign at once but the Majority have to be persuaded. "At least 76 per cent of the to bacco J lowers are witling to go into this system of marketing but canvas sers will have to see them personally It Is too vital a matter to be allowed to drag along. Organisation and sy» tvtaatie work in every county will be noeeaaary. It raqairea one man one week in every township. If a county has nine township·, it will take one man nine weeks in that county to thoroughly canvass the county. Ne lukewarm man ought to be engaged In soeh a eausc·. A good man can sign up 2G a day if h« ha* rood local support. The work, ffnances Mft There are enough young men avuil able now to carry on this work but later these young men will be In col leg· or at wurk. It is % critical time jujt new and if the work is allowed to languish and drag along, failure is certain. Every business man In North Carolina should manifest an Interest In lh« movement and help to put it across. I have been told that the warehouse men are opposed to the movement I am leth to believe thia as prosperity to the farmer means prosperity foi all. Nothing of a eelfi»h nature should stand la the way of the movement sc vital " to North Carolina. Two trlpi te California since the system was » traduced there has convinced me of the wiadom of adopting the plaa Ir our own State. Let's all lend ι jhand."
