Farmers Fear Yellow Menace Plan Fight on Alien Land Law

They called for open books by commission agents, immediate shipper notices, and bonds, while backing Mayor Cotterill's market extension plans and forming a White River Valley association. The Kent gathering also named a delegation to present demands to the legislature and planned Chamber of Commerce actions on the Western AV issue.
