Thia: Union is confined mainly to tho cotton belt of the South. But,; it is the ??riv?i?g?inf fermera anywhere to join the Union whether they bo cotton growers or not. Tho Farmers' Union now numbera in its ranks over two-thirds of all the whit? cotton growers of the cotton belt and is growing in ?trongth and numbers " and popularity every doy.

Farmers, what man quer of men are you, anyway? Shall a clue* of people that hold in their hands all the material, food and raiment that supply the world, ask their dependente for aid to do that which they can do for themselves?
