Notice, rarmors' Union.
Clemson, College Institute car will
start out on their canvass over the
upper half of South SCarolina about
the first of July, and *we want the
Farmers' Union to make arrange
Ments to meet their opportunities at
every step and have a good Farm
C
ers' Union meeting at the wind up 1.
of every Glemsonineeting. Where
the counties have been organized you
ghould get up a good roll of new
S eombers at these meetings, and
/where there is no Unions already t
at these places, do get up some real
good nen1 'and organize a Union at
the close of every Institute.
About all the efforts of Clemson
college and the average farm papers, h
too, are directed towards producing e
good crops. The Farmers', Union
should come along behind them and t
tell the farmers how to turn tile pro- t
fits of these good crops into the pock- t
ets of the mien that grow the crops, y
for there is no gain to the grower on
these good crops of cotton that
Clemson teaches you how to grow if
the non-producers cont1ine to get
the profits.
eTC vant tile Farimers' Union to e
get a hustle oil 1her feet and prepare
to drive down her stakes and mark e
a place at or near every touch down
that Clemson's car makes and fluish ,
up her good works by planting a
farmers' organization there to pro- tj
tect farmers interests in the profits
on these good crops. We are tired .
out and disgusted with this practice
of agricultural colleges, farmeis' in
stitutes and farm papers teaching
farmers how to grow gaod crops all
the while and never once give the
tarners a hlelping hand along the
selling end of his crops, the lack of
which usililly. causes tie farmers to h
get less ionvy for good big crops h
than 1he gets for poor crops. Where
is the use or sense in p-rowin-, good
crops if farmers get less for good f
crops than lie has been getting for
't,small eropsl We want more hack- S
bone in these agricultural compaigns. b
We want to drive it into the heads
b' farmers that there is more profit
in selling his crops rigit tlan there
is in striving all the year to make 1,
good crops and then at the eni(d be
come alarmed and rattled over his
success in growing good erops, which
ORlns up opportinity for specula- 1
ta's to swoop down upon the rattled
farmer and pocket the prodfits on
hard labor that lie never performed.

We advise you to make side ap
plication of hlighlest grade ammoniat
ed fertilizers whuen your corn or cot-1
tonl stalks are about half grown anld

Farmers, do you know you are s

ray you pack your cottont How a
lany times will you have to be told si
his to make you think and act? How Ii
mg will it take you to find that you si

pportunity to start out on the right $

Reduce the length of your bale to
iree feet, which should be made the
nion standard, and you will have a
ale small enough that you can han
