If cotton farmers don't come together and agree upon terms as to how much we uro willing to pay for baudliog our cotton until it is distributed among consumers of cotton, then the ?niuo old gang of speculators wilL continue to do this job for .us and uamo their own prico for it, and collect jnst about all they may want for this job. Who Is to Blame For It ? If farmers do not como together in the fur mers' organisations and try to protect their own interest, in their own way, then it is clear that all .that class of farmers that refuse to organize is the real obstacles in the way of build iug np a strong combination of far mers with sufficient strength to down any and all combinations against our common interests as farmers. If von have joined in with the Far mers1 Union and done your boot to up hold our common interest in obtaining profitable prices for our producto, then yon' will feel good over this matter whether you have done all wo wioh to do or not, for there is great comfort in knowing that yon have done your duty. _ That Chitase Boycott Hammer. The cotton bear element is now cir culating the news that ail American spinners, that supply the heavy cotton goods trade to Coma, are now turning their attention to finer goods, and, in consequence of this? are using only about half the amount of cotton they formerly used in this Chinese trade. Conenmers and speculators are using this fact to hammer down pricos wheo, in reality? it makes little or no differ ence whether England or America makes the cloth for the Chinese trade; in either case American cotton will have to be considered in this thing jost the same. Really, we want some of onr smart cotton sien to tell us the difference about who makes the cotton goods i? onr American cotton has to e considered in the supply of the raw material for this Chinese shirt. Now? if these cotton beare will show us that these Chinamen aro to reduce the length oz tht-ir pHfrt? or go without common aa, then there might bes?me logical reason for producers to become alarmed, bat BO long as Chinese babies and o thora are bora naked this Ameri can cotton will have to be considered aa constituting about eight-tenths of the raw material that goes into their elotbiug, and we are in doubt aa to whether it makes very much differ ence BB to who makes the cloth.

S Dear ?ir: Is "Tss S??w" some time ago I noticed where eotue one had or iginated a variety of cow pea so that it had the deniable quality of giving a large yield of peas, at the same time did not abed ita leaves. Will yon be kind enough to ask if he will not pub lish in your "Farmers' Union Bureau" how he developed thia pea, GO that others may do likewise? The reason I nek thia i? boco use the wi ter of the ar ticle in question stated at the tim? that ho had no seed for sale. . . ?' : Very truly, ... r R.E. Mason, M. P.
