No. 1115., of Leak County, Mm;., Union, E. B. Sasbee, Secretary, informa our bureau that many locals bave recommended the secret business burcuu as bet forth by tbe National Committee. - Before we go out iuto tbe mer cantile or manufactnring business wo must first make good in our selling business. Putting it plain, we mnst manage our own farming business first, and when we bave completed this great work of controlling our selves then wo can begiu to think about controlling other?. - In reply to D. F. Wigin, President of Lodge 274 La. Union, and ail othoro wno have recently called upon our bureau for cheap plana of cotton warehouses, that? just so soon as we csn get in answers from inquiries sent out that our Union column will pub lish in concentrated form about all the information needed on the warehouse matter. . - All County Unions should begin now to inaugurate a regular Farmers' Union campaign in each County to begin when farmers hare laved by crops. Lee this campaign be one of educating the farmer along the busi ness aide of his farming interest. Chief among these subjects is that as the farmer is the greatest produce? on earth he ia of conreo the biggest seller on earth, and that he needs clearing houses -or warehouses to concent int o his cotton and other imperishable pro ducts io. Fifteen determined, resolute farmers in any loeal Union Lodge can build a good one-section cotton warehouse if they will come together with the con viction that this thing mu?t be done for their mutual protection. If the actual cash to nay for all this warehouse cannot ba raised by the loeal Lodge and the members have the true, co-operative spirit among them that alt Union farmers should have, there ia nothing in the way of them clubbing together and making their own concrets blocks and patting sp their warehouses with their own la bor. The old-time co-operative plan of house-raising, loa-rolling and corn shucking may oe worked tn building warehouses to . considerable extent where the Uniona cannot raise only money enough to produce the mate rial. Ont Union bureau ia now getting up plans and specifications for the very cheapest and simplest warehouse pions and will publish the same as early aa possible. . . , Fanners1 Organizations. - Xu South Carolina we have had a deal eight of experience in organising farm era. The old lina of farmers' so cieties-tho Grange, the Alliance and Institut? Clubs-he? nil come and ?ene op in the smoke of tim? like the un<ssds?? ur the rotting away of old buildings ?bat have disappeared and better structures have tait en their 8lacea. 8o it ? ? wish the ' Farmers' inion. We have had a vaas amount of experience in farmers' organizations and know that toe Union Sa building np a structure upon a better plan and noon a firmer foundation than all the other organisations that have gone be We have learned many valuable lea Qonain cur mistakes heretofore, and ?boas jui these mistakee can be turn ed into good for the Union if we manage rightly. Wo want to impreca noon tb? minda of each and avery member of the Far mers' Union that he ia one of the stones in tue walu of the castle that the farmers are building, and that the vf hole structure can ba no better than the material of which the Union ia composed. Let every member ask of himself the one question, it every member of our Union did just aaI am doing what sort of a Union would we haver Andi then when all Union men have done this comparative lesson let the unorganized farmer ask himself thia same question, suppose all f>rmera though? themselves too wise, t JO good or too Bellah to organise, what won M we have gotten for oar two last crops of cotton? $?Mr* Ooe Crop W?I Not Pay, T This North Carolina man is right in th? middle of the progressive path for Southern farmers! : Charlotte, N. C., May 25. Mr. J. C. StribUng, Pendleton, 8. C. Dear Sir : it seems that my inquiry of Mr. Brabham as tb the way he de veloped bi? Cow pea so that it would not shed ita leaves baa developed some, little interest in this moat important subject. It has surprised me no little that nono of the farmers in Sont h Caro lina took enough ju terese in this sub ject to ask aboutthematter. Why waa this; because th?y had also developed thia; pea, and. therefore, had no neert t^.askT and if this is the casa why did, they not gi ve this information to their brother farmers na afr;; Brabham has done? Ifeartbat^it ii becausa the ma PT^^^??10^ ?bat*one orop Hi with tho cottou crop, and then with one-half to two-thirds of cotton raised that wo Pow have the price would be sufficiently high as to net the former as much as he is now getting for his cotton. This he would have ns cienr pro?t, as he has been "living at home." This thing narrows itself down to this question: which had you rather do, raiae a great deal of cotton, no home j svpplies, and take the price for your cotton that is offered you, or raise ! everything at home and have some thing all tho timo to sell aurichen raise one-half tho cotton you now raise and get as mu<*fl for it as you now get for it with tho probabilities much iu favor of getting more? lt seems to me that tho Inst would be the best ia every particular, for it seems that everything is in its favor and nothing in favor of the one-crop plan, if it IB possible to to get the same price for ono bale of cotton we ero now getting for two we save the expense ot raising and mar keting one -half, which would make tho pro?t nbout four time? as mucn as it now is. The things that to my mind will make tho South the garden spot of the world, will be diversified farming, till ing, well, a few aeres rather than many acres poorly, securing good and fertile seed and then improving them, raising cattle and saving their manure, using each farm machinery as will de crease the cost of producing a crop and taking care of this machinery alter it ?8 bought and then using judgment in marketing the crops, wnatever they maj be. Good roads may well be in cluded. If these things will make the South more prosp?rons are they not worth striving tor? Would it not be well to have Prof. Newman, of Clemson, give us an arti cle on the cow pea? Yours truly? R. E. Mason, M. D.
