At the meetirg in Greenville on May 1st the State Executive Committee selected (ireenwood as the place for the annual meeting of the South Carolina State Farmers' TViia nintdmnr ivill ho Pk!1a(I I V' UlVil, jk UJJ mv\uu^ ??* w VV...V. by the State president, 0 P Goodwin, to meet at Greenwood on Julv24-25. At this council of the business forces of the Farmers' Union of the State at Greenville it was a general expression of delegates that the personnel of its representatives were much improved, and that their advancement in the knowledge of the business side of the Union was apparent to all. W C Moore, our State agent, was complimented for sterling character as a man, and executive business qualifications as the head of this department of the X'nion by a rising vote of the delegation. Big Fisb Eat BP the Little Fish. There is nothing new in this fish j eating business, lou all Know now this thing works, but mighty few of you have the pluck, grit and energy to go oat harpooning for the big fish for fear you might drop out of the boat and go down into the belly of some whale like old Jonah did. Now, old Uncle Jonah made a mistake, like some of our unorganized farmers are doing today, and got in the wrong boat; and when the troubled waters told 011 the old traitor he had to tf.ke his chances in the big, open sea by himself, and so Jonah had to take a dive under the troubled waters in the belly of the whale. Moral:?All you little fish cotton farmers that are continually being swallowed by speculators must join in with the Farmers' Union, where you will grow into a big fish at once? then you will be in the right boat, with smooth sailing in the still waters. Add your strength to the growth of the Farmers' Union, and oonf li'u vmnrj' nrnro n I7U tinn uuarvv. j vu i a nt uivio vi^uuifaMvivu king among the big fish; then all sncker3 and sharks will be ready to flee from the wrath of the king of whales. It it Again?Broke Out In a New Place Prices on cot t >r? ties ha' made a jump upwards. Now is a mighty good time for cotton growers to make a jump tor rouaa lap cotton bales and knock the cotton tiei out altogether. After looking into the matter carefully for a long time I am stuck on the round cotton bale. We have done a big sight of blowing about usiug up our dog-tail cotton for covering, but the cotton hooks and other rough jags in bund1 ng tear it too easily. But it does up-the job all right enough on the round tale and this home consump tion will take a large lot of this hard stock of cottou off the market at a fair price, and at the same time knock out out both the jute bagging trust and the cotton tie trust by making our own cotton covering in the South. Farmers, you have said enough about this cotton bagging business. You must get together and endorse this round bale, and move along in solid phalanx in your own interest, and let the tie trust take care of j itself. The Profit to the Farmer in Using Round Bales for Cotton are Many. The round bale sa\es from 55c. to' 65c. on every 500 pounds of lint. The round bales are very much! ea3;e: to handle, and take up only; about one-fourth as much room in. warehouses, wagons and cars as the I square bales now take. Bound cotton bales '?o\eivd with! cotton baling protects all the lint' from dirt, grime and pillage, and' all hales (-an he nira'e nf *?v;ir>r lini ? form weight and si'*- and detvnt in ; appearance. About all that bus kept this round bale back ii the craftv greed of the / . ? ... corporation tn onargeoi me uiacamery, 'our as there is now another rival in the field the outlook for a rapid improvement in baling of cotton is very good indeed. If the farmers will only get together and demand that round baling machinery he put in by other gins, or put up round baling machinery of their own. the thing will be ilune in short o.der. and all will be well. Something fn This for FarmersFarmers must attend to their own affairs. If you trust your business in the hands of others than those that are directly interested along the same line with you it is contrary to human nature for others to drop their own iuterests in their own business a^d take care of tne farmers' affairs first. I have attended quite a large number of farmeis' business meetings in time, but fo.* tact and determination the Farmers' Union meeting of South Carolina that met in Greenville on thefirstof May show ed up more good judgment and business qualities than any before in this State. Results of good work in a business way showed up more actual dollars to the number of men in it than we were looking for. If you want to know more about this business meeting go out to \our next county Union meeting and get it. Lines From Lane. Lane, May 13:?After a long time farmers around here have gone to work planting their crops. Uwing to the bad weather and the lowpi ice of cotton they have b.en very much discouraged this season. The Atlantic Coast Lumber Corp., also the Coast Line Kailroad, paid off their employees last Saturday, which added considerable stimulus to trade conditions locally. Quite a number of our young people attended the commencement exercises of Greelyville school last Friday evening We learned today that a large lumber concern will soon erect an extensive plant here for sawing lumber. Such enterprises are always welcome. Several from here attended preaching at Union church Sunday. Blue Eyes.
