The following resolutions were adopted by the club: Whereas, Certaiu influences of trusts and combines are at work in our midst through their agents to get a monopoly of the ginning and baling of our cotton by tne Round lap bale system, and Whereas, We, as producers of cotton are opposed to trusts, com bines and monopolies of every kind that will prove detrimental to our interests. Therefore, Be it resolved by the Euharlee Farmers club that we •condemn in unmeasured terms any effort on the part of any company or combine to try to force on the agricultural people anything that will put them at the mercy of the Roundlap bale system, and that we will not patronize any company that will attempt to place, us in such a condition, or force upon us the Roundlap bale system; and •that we call on all the agricultural clubs in Bartow county to take similar action and all farmers and producers of cotton to stand with us in our action in this matter.
