No doubt many farmers are doing what they consider the best thing for their own selfish enda and expect others to do the same. But this is not so. A world-wide market product like cotton cannot be priced ny the pro ducer wi'hout a concert ot action in a co-operative way among the produc ers. _ What it Cost to Organize. The United Miners1 Union paid out last year over seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars in support of the principles and maintaining tbeireystem ot enforcing a demand to have a say in setting prices on their labor. Farmers, how much have you con tributed toward organizing the Far mers7 Union that io the originator of tue plan of co-operation among cotton producers! Thia plan has swept over the South and forced cotton specula tors to pay from 810 to? ?15 mere per bale for your cotton. And if you have not joined the Farmers7 Union or con tributed to thia grand movement in other ways you should take yourself out behind the barn and give yourself a real good bouncing on a rough stone or wire fence. i Shallow Ploughing; Going, going, gone to the lower side is the way of all shallow ploughed lands! Some wrong thinking people seem to think they can defend their i poor ploughing by terracing, but men I of experience will tell yon that there ie absolutely no system of terracing that will keep shallow ploughed lands from washing daring these big frog strangling floods of rain! Now is a good time for the farmer that hos his richest lands down in the briar patches at the lower side of his fields to go after it; clear out the rub bish and plans these places in corn, po tatoes, cowpeas and pumpkins. You had just as well make up your mind that you can't fool nature! Yon may sometimes deceive meo by half doing things but nature only gives up what she has in store for the farmer, and j net as sure as the sun shines it you do not go at it right you will never unlock the riches of the adit unless you use the right key to each of na ture's storehouses. Prepare Your Land Well. -' Water; water; Dry; Dry; will be the cry, next July and August if you do not prepare your lands well now to store up moisture for the dry times that are sure to come. . The-?armer is well aware of the dis astrous consequences if ( he undertakes to give his horse all the solid foods the horse needs and not give thB "critter" any water! The horse would snrelv die for the want of water even if he did have all the food needed. So it ?8 about furnishing plant food for your crops. Yon may apply 1,000 pounds of the beat guano to the aore, but if the land has pot been deeply plo usted and abundant moisture in the eoll in pro portion to tho amount of concentrated fertilizers used the crop will starve for want of moisture, and maleas it should rain ev^ry few day a the more fertiliser Jon use on shallow ploughed land the ssa crop you will make. Now fa the time to prepare the land to atore" up moisture for use during drouth. .?{'- , How can ft sane man expect to get good re turns from concentrated fertil isers pl?v?o on ianda where there is no moisture to diarite these fertilis ers! . . ;? ;.;.;T?'

Chief Constable Fnnt seoras an hon est man and his honesty ia brought out all the moro clearly by the position he occupies in connection with the dispensary eyk?etn, ?G which there ap pears to have boon much rottenness ?cd corruption. Tho experience Con stable Faut had wi'h tho higher otli cors of tho State, wheroin they ignored his charges of crookedness, was enough to make a grafter out of any man ol: less honesty of purpose and purity of lifo. Ho could have put ouly oue con struction on their conduct, and that, they winked at tho rottenness. Con stable Fnnt might have gathered from this attitude ot the highest authori ties that his best course would be to get out of his position all there was in it. Hut, after this seeming license to grafters, tho constable, it appears, continued to administer the a fl air s of his ofilco in an honest way. Had he not done this he could not now, four years after his ?rst charge of crooked noas, stand so firmly on what ho said at that time end declare "It is true and I will provo it." No man comes forward now toohargo tho constable with dishonest prac tices, though he has administered the niiairs of his oilice during these four years knowing the authorities of tho State had refused to pnniBh apparent dishonesty and thereby endorsed, in a measure, sucn conduct.-Spar canburg Herald.
