Why should we farmers sit-a idle and unconcerned about our farm I: ing we see the organization of bank- i | srs and merchants and there is not a business of any concern but what; they have an organization in it.But the farmers are afraid of each other, they think that the other farmer may: ?et something that he has or do some thing that may be a help to his neigh- j bor or brother. If we farmers Of a ni-n--.no ? u-n mint Vip'n AJ3 i, other or do something to help our nei-1 ghbor. We see so much depending on 11 the farmer for substance to sustain fl their body and then we are looked i 9 upon as being the old dog of the 3 world we must look at our interest on ! H our farmers closer than we ever have j I if we expect to be anybody or count-, |i ed as anybody we must be so ready as j fj to help others as we expect others to 11 help us. God has given us the land ? and knowledge to till the earth to get j| our earnings from by sweat of our 9 b~ow but we see so much getting^? their earnings by some other scheme j until it looks almost disheartening to j ?J the farmer. But at last we think g of the commands that we are com- 9 manaed to try to continue our work g in poor encouragement. We must do g something in the future that we have j Sj not done in the past ar.d that is E raise our supplies so as to keep down ffi so much of speculation out of our 8 earnings we must sow more wheat & and oats and make more corn and r raise, more hogs and then we can live 1B at home but just as sure as the sun J pj rises and sets as long as >*e plant cot | g ton that great plant that so much q speculation is in we do not expect to B be m any better snape we see soji many people that are speculating on | B our cotton and it is to my judgment t the gamblers that ruin our prices, j 9 We hear so many people: talking cf ? the cotton futures, some-think we will I get a great big price for cotton this 1 fall and some seems to think we will t have a fixed price by our government l| I dont see how the. government could p afford to take the cotton in hand and 8 fix a price on it when the people ask s the government for help in 1914 g when good cotton sold so low that the 8 farmers could not meet their obliga- I tions and they refused us it was not i E the government that caused so much 8 drop in cotton in 1914 that the farm. 9 ers could not meet their obligations * it was a scheme of speculation in cot ? ton and that should have'shown the farmers not to plant.so much but to ^ plant such things as could be eaten and not so much speculation.We have fe facing us now another speculating (8 crop coming and it looks prosperous gj and another thing I just want to call p your attention to is this we have tne' j war on hand and we are called upon i g$ .o sacrifice 30 many precious souls o go to the front and sacrifice their E lives that we might be spared gentle- B men it is a serious thing to consider E we are in the war and we eant help 8 14- 11'A TY1/1 7 r-4- /] A Alii* norf [w IU vv C iuuot ViV U/Ul pc4.il/. | .

I just want to say in my closing if the government is going to fix a price on our cotton to please fix a standing price on ginning and the manufactur. ing of the staple into cloth and other things. Do not fix a price on cotton and then leave room for the speculators to cut the throats of the farmers. I am a farmer and with best wishes to all, I will write again. \ Farmer.
