BaldwinS county members of the Far

their cotton through their own ware
house this fall, according to authentic
information. It is understood that the
place formerly occupied by the Homo-
Andrews Commission Co. ujill be utiliz
ed by the Farmers Union.
It seems that the Union lias a ware
house in Eatonton which has given
great satisfaction and the results ob'
tained there led the local union to in
vestigate the possibility of establishing
a warehouse hero
Ths union is building warehouses ail
over the country and they appear to bi
more determined than ever to carry oul
their plans during the coming year
There is little doubt but that their ae
tion in planting cotton and handling the
crop will be felt throughout the world
this season.
