adding thereto a comnlete hintory of c<
the society including the names of all il
its members as well as its record, v
which is hue, up to its next meeiing,|at
which time its membership will in- oj

This society claims to be the oldest *
active farmer's society in the United P
States, having organized iu 1815. *
This society has perhaps tbe most u
interesting history of its works in the ?
United States. A very interesting c
volume, 112 pages, (the onlj copy
J known to be in existence) is now in P
possession of the president of the so- '
ciety, and was published iu 1820. Ou ^

John L. North in 1815, that frost oc- ^
V curred as late as the 22ud of May." y.
On page 73 in an essay by Joseph D. Gailard,
who lives near Pendleton, on t
cow pea vines they were well and
yielded an abundance of milk, and 1
have never had a cow stuck in the
mire, since I have been in the counthy."
? In these days cows were Belbom
fed in the winter, consequently
they got poor in the spring and not being
able to pull ont many of them
were stuck in the swampy mud placesled
there by the green sour grass that
we some-times see in these places today.
Are you planning to grow cotton just J
for the fun of it or are you in it for J
profits?
If you are after profits on your crops
you had better get alone right now
and join the Farmer'? Uuion and bt
makingarrangemeuts for profits while j
your crop is growing. *
If you are in shape to pay cash foi
your fertilizer you had better get together
your local union, appoint a
good business member to go over to
see W. C. Moore in Greenville, the
president of our cotton union. H*
will put you on to something that will
save euough money to you on each
ton to pay your way in the Farmer'tUnion
for several years.
If you are trying to climb up thi
tree of prosperity by growiog cotton
I you had best never begin it by resting
the ground end of your ladder on home
grown food crops and the upper end _
of your ladder, the selling end, on tin
firm support of the Farmers' Cotton
Union. There is more in selling rigbi
than in growing the crop thete days
This is rich and racy. From John
Mile's Journal of millinery goods,
New York:
"The wave of prosperity floats ovei
thin frlnrinns innd nt a hicrh rvripc
c ? ? "-o" *" ?r
Every body is making money, people
with brains are saving some, people
without brains are blowing it in
Some few years ago the Wall streei
millionaire thieves made the price for
cotton five and six cents per pound,
they gave the honest Tan Face South- 1
ernere about enough money to buy
pork and corn breud, but the Southerners
got together, they talked it over;
the general store merchant told the y
plantation fellow that he would help
nim along to get ten cents per pound
for cotton. The banker in each little
f town bound himself to the others J
with his word of honor, the result wasten
cents per pound for cotton, they established
million dollar cotton mills,
and today they are making money out *
of cotton, and their mills besides.
^ that's how they got the best of the a
land rats, and the water-rats and the 1
water thieves and the land thieves
that hold up Wall street, the big trusts
and the monopolists and the gobbler*
oi tee money with hearts as hard as j
the flags of hell, their lives aDd their
fortunes are strewn with skulls and
[i: suicides and mingled with human
\ blood. #
\ The southerners' motto is "cotton
ten cents per pound or we don't sell."
We all certainly must admire their
stand, and now apart frrm the south,
prosperity is all over the country.
They haven't got enough of the
lambs in Wall street just now to put
in a drain pipe and let the water run
out. Wall street today has more
water underneath the stocks than No
ah had to float the Ark, but we might
have a tumble otherwise, and it is just
as well to be a little careful.
Some people buy like drunken sail'
ois on the verge of prosperity."
This man explains why Wall 6treei
that has everything elae, has not bten
able to make a hell of their own, viztoo
much water, cau't raise the lire.

Aldrich system of growing corn ani

alternated with two rows of corn,
in comparison with solid plots of each ~
Width of rows 4 feet, com 18 iu. in

Aldrich methods in round numlien
average per acre 70 bushels corn aud
4400 pounds stover, counting corn a
75 cents per bushel aud stover at 71
ceot* pea 100 pounds, put corn products
at $93.12 per acre.
t Cotton was sold for k; cei ts ne>
' ' pound and the seed at $1 per bushel,
brought the cotton products up to
$113.IB per acre. Money value.
Solid plots of each com and coltorplanted
in solid crops as usually dom
made in cotton 273 pounds in lint an<l
67 bushel of seed which sold for
185 33,per acre.
Corn averaged 55 bueliels and 4100
pounds stover, making corn product
$72.1(? | er acre, and an average of
r 128.71 per acre counting both corn
and cotton averaged up together.

;ainst the cost of harvesting the corn
rop by machinery, there is a diff'ernce
of only $2.57 per acre against the

Finally our test for last year's exerience
shows that we have paid, or
jstaioed a loss on a general average
f about $2 55 per acre for the privilie
ef rotating our crops of corn and
jtton in the same field, which privege
gave a good crop of peas and

We are well pleated with the result

Under the Aldrich and Williamson
lethods of corn growing we made
