Getting good practical farmeri t'o qu.t their work 'o go out gud work for the. Fdrmers' Union for nothing is all that is in the way of spreading the Farmers' Union organization all . over our Southland in a -very short -while. This prevaiing idea among farm. era to get something for nothing, or get cheap men to do Cheap work in - stead of getting good men at good prices to do good work is the big gest stumbling block in the way of the progress of the farmers' organizei tion. It takes a big' book and a big bait to catch a big fish and hold the game-and a small fly-hook for min nows. , You cannot contr-1 the price of -cotton unles you dan control the men who hold the cotton. The cottou-grower cannot prosper while othe'N price all be sells oud - buys . ny more. Than he could pull himself out of the mire by lifting at the straps of his boot-legs. HELP YOURSELF. Don't quarrel with others about nQt helping the farmer when you are mot trying to help yourself. Some farmers do a lot of howling .and no work because they are too 'poor-they think-to do anything else but howl the calamity howl. The man with manhood and plenty of grit and energy in his make-up need never ask others to give him room;' about all this man needs is to put hie natural talents to work with a vim a. A the world will give him plenty of .om. Why all this talk about organizing the farmer of to-day "hen our dad dies anA granddaddies lived better than we do withqpt any organization among themselvet? Because our dad -dies and granddaddies produced al most everything they needed to eat and wear upon their own farm ex -cepting salt, sugar, coffee and 'what *little money they needed then to pay taxes, which for these small itemis was not very hard to get out of his surplus cotton and other crops and stock. And now we fool cotton. A growers have for lot these many years been trying to get -rich buying all these things at the other fellow's pricee, and paying for them with our ~cotton also at the other fellow's *prices. We are compelled to organ ize before we can price our own cotton., O IECLAR1NG INDEPENDENOE ,The American fidrtn'r is about to declare hi0 indepet4lence of tbe spec - -ulator of Walir~t, and thue m ,ve.

No medicine can Joipany, Pickens, Parkan's Phar We are glad to b2e able to tell our readers that the farmers have made up their minds to put an end to this saytem, and that they have gone to work intelligently. Hit qorto the farmer alone has had nothing whatever to say about the price to be paid for ihat he actually produced. Some man in Liverpool, some mill owner in the North, might settIe the price that' the Southern cottou. g-o'wer i ust take per bale for cotton. Some other man, thousands of miles away, could settle the price that the Western farmer should have for hie grain. The farmer alone had nothine tc say about it. - The railroads decided what they should charge him. Banks decided what .they. should caarge for the use of the money. Trusts decid ed on their extortions. Tariff build ers decided what tax the farmer's wife and . daughter should pay on their dresses. But the farmer was forbidden tc have any say in fixing the price of his goods. This is to end; the work has been already begun in the farmers' organ. 'zations. This paper congratulatet the farmers, and greets as public benefactors the moving spirits in the great farnmers' Lrganizations. The farmers'of the country are the backbone of the country. They de velop the nation's real wealth, whico is the wealth of the soil, They aro entitled to a full share of that wealtl and of the national prosperity. Bi combination, by insisting on fail prices for theiy cotton, their wheal and their other crops, and by refusioj to sell the non-perishable producti except for a fair price, they hiave al ready added tens of millions to thi annual returns from the farms. The% add tens and hundreds of millionE more annually as their unians in crease in power. The isolated human being, whethei he be farmer or mechanio, is at th mercy of every form of greed au cunning. The farmer has too long plowed harrowed, sown, reaped, sweated ani fretted to build up bank accounts foi others, and pay interest on mortgagee Weare glad that he has decided, b: union, to keep for himself and family which meanis for the people of Amer ica, that to which th1ey are entitled --[Denver News.
