The u . Southern farmers have every rea- un son to believe that Ihe A.ssociaQJ tion lias been the means of saving to them many millions ol dollars, and it seems that it ought to be an easy task to raise the small fund necessary to pay the olli- Ch cers's salaries and meet other ex- wl pensea do From another point of view, r< the scarcity of funds is not difli- *r( cult to explain. The farmers are rt . sti widely scattered. Only asm ill J no prop??rtion[ol their whole number m are active in the Association, >yjj while all share 111 the general ja, benefit.
