^ 1 '^?if THE COTTON FARMER Vacation? Recreation? Organization ?The Price of Cotlon and the Warehouse Plan. Editor Press and Banner: For tne past three weeks the farmers have been eDjoylng the recreation and pleasure ol laying by time. N'o one bnt a farmer can enjoy this season of year alter six months ol card toil as he can. It is a time of the year that Is always looked forward to wltn a great deal ol pleasure as it is the time for picnics, barbecues, protracted meetings, reunions, public speakings, etc., and who is it that does not enjoy all this ? These gatherings draw the people together where they can have the opportunity of discussing the various topics of the day. The matrons have a splendid opportunity of discussing the way and manner In which the home should be kept, also to exchange receipts for pickling, preserving and canning frnlts and vegetables, also the way in which the young Americans 6hould be trained and last but not least In vieing with each other 'or the honor lor the prettiest baby on the hill. The young man Is aflorded an excellent place at these picnics lor courting his girl and of course he looks forward (o these annual gatherings with a great deal of pleaeure. These gatherings are the result of great good, by mingling together the people come in touch with one another and more friendly relation will be the result. As a rule, the people are loo selfish any way and it is too often the case where every man is lor himsetf and the devil for the whole bunch. Lets cultivate a more friendly disposition lor our fellowmen, destroying selfishness, envy and hate and contribute more to the pleasure ot others aud thereby get all the good out ol life we can for we have only one time to live in this world. The farmers Institutes and public speakings will also result in much good to the farmer* as It is a mean* of educating them along the lines they should be. They are beginning to think and to seek to know more about their own Interest than belore. They too are beginning to realize that they are a power behind the ihrone and that they will assert tnat power, wall street has already found that out and It will not be long till tne whole world will realize It also. There are some farmers, however, that do not believe that the farmers organizations has or ever will accomplish any thing?they don't believe in any thing or anybody. They will tell you you can't orgaulze the farmer and that you can't do this or you can't do that. The trouble Is they are soureu on every thing and every body ; when you find a man 01 this type he Is very little use to his country, his church and nis family. The world has always been and always will be afflicted with these uncie Bobbie Crab , Apples who are soured on every thing and every thing Is wrong and if they hud the management of this Great Universe they would run it a little different. They are fixed In their beliet and no amount of argument, facts or figures, would change their mind: they are as Immovable as tne rock Qibraiter Itself, would not believe a thing 11 they could and oouldnot If they would. There Is one thing 1 want to say and that Is the farmers are organizing as they never you llSe, but some of these days you will wake up to tbe (act nevertheless. The larmers have demonstrated to the world that organization has something to do with the value ol cotton. The great lesson taught by last year's big crop is the wisdom of marketing slowly. Had the farmers notwlth held their cotton Irom the market when the bottom dropped out they never would have received the price they did. It lb the rushing of the staple on tbe market thai does tbe crushing. Is it not a tact that thousands of bales that were sold for tlx would have brought eight or ten cents just as easy, had it been marketed slowly. The plan now on foot now to build cotton storage aDd ware houses will be when perfected a great benefit to the cotton groweis and also the manufacturer in that it win help to keep the staple at a price justified by supply and demand, anu not us now mainly at the mercy of speculator. Some, who seem to have the Interest of the farmer at heart have offered to suggest that the farmer ought not to over do the thing now and kill the goose that laid the golden egg. To those I would say not to be loo much ex exercised over that. What we waut to do is to kill the darned old goose that has been stealing the gelden egg. W. L. Kennedy.
