Rula Baga Turnips.
Begin now to prepare a piece of stub
ble land for turnips.
We have not made a failure with
Buta Baga turnips in many years-by
following this rule, viz., begin now by
turning under all the stubble and
growth, then barrow smooth and thon
tel!, or press, the soil down well with
a smoothing board. If yon are to use
stable manure this should have been
applied broadcast before turning the
land. It you are to use commercial
fertilizers we have found the following
application about right on lands grow
ing about from 1,300 to 1,500 pounds
seed cotton per acre: 10-4 acid phos
phate, COO pounds; cotton meal, 200
pounds; Kain it, 100 pounds.
This fertilizer should be worked in
the land about 10th August and culti
vators or disc harrow run over the
land at least once in every 10 days
from time of breaking the land until
last of August, when the land will be
in thorough order and in fine lix to re
receive the seed. Work off rows about
20 inches wide drill the seed '*n the
open trench and cover by maning a
common wheelbarrow down the
trench. , ".,
The Truckling Farmer.
This disgraceful habit of farmers
trnckling and catering around n. ?'-.er
others to attend to the farmer's own
business is as old as the hills and as
shameful aa it is old. If the farming
class were weak in numbers, wealth
and their natural advantages, there
might be someexense for farmers to be
everlastingly truckling around after
some other set of men to help them.
But what is the real status of .he
wealth, natural gifts of the farmers,
calling and his dormant numerical
power'/ Go to tue statistical record
and you will see that tho farmers of
our country not only outnumber all
others in his -coting powers, but he
also has in his farming business about
four times the amount of wealth that
there ?B engaged iu all our manufac
turing interest Combined! > .-/."
It always did snake me hot in the
collar: to see a great giant at Behool
Slay pleading to the small boy to give
im room when his natural gifts were
of more power-properly used-than
two small odys.
- But for the' lack ot proper training,
pluck and energy these giants, are like
the farming elsa's-for the lack of
training they do rot know how to use
their natural gifts of power. .'.'
Pricing Your Own Wares
Farmers know too much about how
to produce large crops of Cotton and
too little about how to get a price f OT
their money crop after lt i? made
What does ft proiit or benefit - tho iw?
mer to make a (loo crop if aoroo other
crowd gota aH the profit?t
This teaching of a one-sided educa
tion of tho farmer is all wrong; most
on; cowmen olod-hopper or tree negro
can vizk'A a orofitable crop of cotton,
bu:; it. takes entirely a di?erent man
agement to place ibis cofon upon the
ma. ?ut in a way BO as to turn these
profits into tho pockets of tho pro
ducerinstead of tho coffers of those
who toil not but who does know how
to spin the profits out of the farmers1
Viands into their own.
Most any farmer's son knows more
about gathering chestnuts than to go
up the tree and shake tht.u down un
less he has a partner on t Vo ?round to
keep the bogs from gath ?ring lc tue
products of his labor.
We repeat againVbere, that our ?ar
mera, unorganized,; in dop on lon t ly and
alone, can produce a good crop o' cot
ton, but it takes the combined efforte
of thousands of cotton fardera to make
sure of a good price for thf.t cotton.
If other folks w?ro to allow you as
farmers to price all you buy and price
all you sell, too, how long would it
take the farmer to even up things in a
way that would cauro the bowling to
come up from the other nido? That is
the very wsy that the other crowds
have been doing op the Southern far
mer for lo, these many years. The
Farmers7 Union ia now np against thia
unfair way bf dealin g. Wo are not or
ganized to go after others' or to turn
down any legitimate business in order
tc build op our farming interest.
All our alma and efforts are directed
towards attending to our business in
our own way.
We have learned from bitter expe
rience tbat it is not the dollars that
we make that counts, but it is the dol
lars we save for ourselves that piles
up wealth upon the producer's side of
tiade.
We have learned that the profits
on any crops are only half way wi n
when crops are gathered; when f >
harvest beginB the game is on, and .?.'
the farmer's side is not well organized
and trained in this marketing game
the profits that then rest .upon a pivot
will be thrown over the line into tho
ring of the other aide.
If other trades, consumers of cotton
and their combinations do not chooso
to yield to our proposition for fair
iealing gracefully, about all that far
mers have to do in order to Carry their
side along is to apply the methods to
Dur farming business that other trades
save done in order to win tho profits
ant of our farming-business.
There ia no new departure in this
proposition of the Farmers' Union.
This sanie practice- has been in une by
cotton speculators abd other combina
tions for many years. - ,
The remedy is here: Instead of far
mers conf Criag with buyerB of cotton
about fixing the price tor cotton, the
growers of cotton Should confer with
each other. The growers: of cotton
cannot expect of the buyers to get any
other news about toops or the cotton
market excepting 'that news that is in
bis favor which will always bear down
the market news. . "
Jfanufnctarers do not go to the far?
mer (who is the consumer of his food)
to ask bim to help him get a better
price for his goods. Than why on
earth should the farmer go to the
consumer or tbs buyers of cotton to
get him to rrice the farmer's products?
Farmeis, quit acting tho fool and put
up your own warehouses, bulk your
cotton in your own houses, sot your
own figures on your stuff, moko your
cotton warehouses your clearing
