fr<?m time to time expressed the
pleasure they enjoyed at reading my
narratives of various trips. I wish
it had b*en possible to write up with
Borne decree of continuity my ex?

With one thing I am constantly re?
minded: the bigness of this country
and the vast diversity of the inter
eats of its population. 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.

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

It Is a food thing to have torn

Would I. Htill better, if all these in

do ten or a hundred times mure busi?
ness with manufacturing concerns
than with farmers. 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.
