Home of whom at least ha'"e fr<?m time to time expressed the pleasure they enjoyed at reading my narratives of various trips.

Measured in 5 miles distances are much greater in the west than here, but measured in the thoughts of its people, not as great. They do not regard a 600 mile trip more than we do a 200 mile one. 1 met one man, L. C. Crow, f Washington, who came East 2,000 miles to Salina, Kansas, a?nl yet he did not feel as far away from home as'the Eastern delegates that bad ?-aveled 800 to 1,500 miles. nee To come closer home in these -imMtng though**: TChher the farm n of t gt te ars so far ahead of ?itates that they ?v touch of SO* I rat and ort nl/atIon, or they re so far behind that they do not no* hem much they do not know iMUit their own needs. Everywhere rgsnlsation and cooperation ure live uestlons, and men can tell you by UM bo jr how much they saved or made fcy some simple cooperative ef? fort. And In the vuatnesa and bigness of the west cooperation is not so small as to be ignored and despised as It is by so many of us. e e e Can't we forgo some of the press? ing duties of today on our farms to plan real cooperation that will give tie returns out of all proportion to the time and thought expended on It ? returns in excess of the best result* of our iruli\nlual BtrUftfl m the daily grind."

Yet. because of the organization of these banks into clearing house associations, it is into their vaults that the secretary of the treasury puts deposits to help move the crops. ? e . i Why not then have organized ef? forts on the part of the bankers and farmers of Orangeburg, Sumter, Flor eiK I and the other cotton counties through Joint committees of clearing houses and Farmers' Fnions take these matters directly to the president and secretary of the treasury? Un? til the committee of the National Union has reported to President Bar rett I am not at liberty to make pub? lic our report, but I am violating no confidence when I say that Presi? dent Wilson and Secretary McAdoo are sincerely trying to give practical relief to the people who produce the nation's wealth. And in my Judgment we are remiss in our duties to our? selves and our people, and in our ob? ligations to the president and secre tary, if we, the country bankers and the farmeis, allow the big interests to gobble up what ought to come to us, while we think we are too insig? nificant to go direct to the president with our views. ?00 The County Farmers Union meets next Friday at Trinity, tho last coun? ty meeting and picnic until spring.
