We do not say we make this as a last appeal to the millers, «i Bwe may do so . again and again ; but the advantages of such an association is seen by evoryont that is not a hemp miller. Unanimity is • hard to obtain, aiul.-is unexpected by us; but though every hemp miller is not, willing to jpin, that sliould be no reason .why a certain number who approve of the idea should, not • meet, together, and. it would be quickjy .seen how many would soon join. The first start is what is necessary, an I we be ieve wo could name ton millers close around who would be gad to ast, and it wants but some energe l ie .pc son to give the proposal a start.
