WHAT THEY SAY
IN KENTUCKY
Mrs. Eugene B. Tinker.
Creewell, Oregon.
Dear Mrs. Tinker:
We are placing your name on the
mailing list of the Kentucky Unino
Farmer, according to your request for
an exchange. Also, we are mailing
you a few back copies.
We think your plan of editing a
Farmers Union page in the local week­
ly a good one. We are suggesting the
plan to some of our county organiza­
tions hoping that they may try It.
For that reaeon we would like to re­
ceive a copy of your paper regularly.
Youre very truly.
Kentucky Union Fanner,
James H. W hite, Editor.
