C. Strlbllng, Pei dleton, 8. C. T? ? Way We Size lt Up. The prices for yonr cotton next Fall is just what cotton producera make it. Yon;- work now ia abont all directed, indirectly or directly, towards making the conditions that are to rule or con trol the pi i ceo of your cotton for thia crop and to some extent tho next crop, too. If you help do a thing youraolf then don't go about blaming some other fel low for doing it. If you can boy your grain, bay and other farm producta cheaper than yon can raise these products, then you are not as good a farmer aa the other man that doea thia for you, and you can also bny yonr cotton cheaper than you can grow it, too. Few people can realize how sick they have boen until they begin to get over it; few farmers realize what a fool they are about cotton until they begin to boy high priced farm products with low priced cotton. If? takes a wise man to act wise, and afoot to act a fool, then it is a nat ural thing to expeot none but good business men to succeed in buying many farm products with which to grow the one product, cotton. How many of these so-called "busi ness" farmers do you know of that have been been up against a business proposition like this fur many years that now have nothing to show np their business qualifications in any form of accumulations excepting, per haps, a family of ragged and ignor ant children and a mortgaged mole or two!. No doubt you"vo heard of the "buai neas woman" that borrowed a sitting of eggs from one neighbor and a brooding hen from another-abe said she had the nest. Well, now, weare betting on t'aie woman coming but ahead of the man that boys everything on credit that he uses in growing his crop of cotton. . Now, this is the class of cotton pro ducers that control the early cotton market. TheBeare the real dumpers, and the men that furnish the. supplies of all sorts to snch nnbnsinesa like, in comp?tent managers of snob an im portant industry as cotton growing. arr? the real responsible parties. These nevcr-do-welle could never mle the cotton business unless the supply men and the landowners put his important business in the hands ot sueh incom petent parties. I These business men and the land owners are LOW coming, together to control this matter; th**y are requiring each of this elass ol cotton producera to diversify his, crops, which is tho only way to enforce the necessary fun damental jninciplo or system upon which tho South can ever maka ber pri?es for her cotton and maintain profitable prices. Now is the ???ss to prepare SOT har vesting the small grain crop. Of all the busy month? in the, cotton States the harvest times are the times of the moat work and the shortest time to do it in. Cotton and corn crops and small 8rain all need attention about the same ima. ?'. y ??' ; Farmers'' Unions can aid each ether thron gb these extremely busy: weeks by clubbing together ana boy fog bind* era, threshing machinery and other costly farm machiner y, that perhaps may.be too much on May for oho farmer to foot up; and if the Union does not see fit to buy this machinery they can combine and contract with some mem ber that will do all this harvesting machine wo?*, for'them at the proper tigs?; sr,d MRU? m ase it possible to guarantee sufficient work to justify a progressive yoong man to invest in an up-to-date outfit. - This kind of work la right along the straight road with the true principles of the Farmers' Unless Furs labor is now too high to nae only behlod the best farm ma chinery; .tools? teams and implements. If one farmer cannot a?ord to get the beat of alt these, the farmers uriat eombliu. ffetir;. wS?gti ?uni h?lp caen other, so as to obtain thia important help inst at the time when improved machinery is moat needed' upon the farm. Union men. take hold ot thia harvest question now and get ready for bot times ahead, ' ::.-V. ::^'m Cheap Hoir. If you wore to maka a cheap ?bal you should havo cheap material to be gin with.

For brood aowa without pigs, thc cotton seed meal should be decreased and tho tnrnipa increased, since it if not necessary under such condition.' to UKO feed so rich in protein. Trusting that this may answer iti purpose, I am Very truly yours. C. L. Newman.
