C. hThe State meeting of the Farmers Union called to meet at Greenwood he 25th, 26th, 27th of July. begins look like it is 'oing to be a grand ral and red letter day for repres enta 've farmers~of the State. 0. Pile, of Texas, Ben F. Griffin. of Arkalpsas, and R. F. Duckworth, of Georgia, ag-e to have a talk to the far mers organization at the Greenwood meeting, and'v*q take this opportuni ty to put Greeiwood on notice to spread herself. And make room, for the signs are right for something do ing at Greenwood at this July meet ing of the farmers. The speaking at Greenwood will be public and eveLrybodv is-invited to at tend. A special invitation is extend ed .o the yet unorganized class of farmers. Whether delegates or not, we' urge it as a duty to all Farmers' Union men to.attend this Greenwood meet ing. New delegates have equal rights with delegates to the floor, but none save regular delegates can vote at this meeting. Begin now to prepare yourselves to put the right men in the right places at the coming meeting. For your success or failure depends upon this. Vote for no man for the poor reason that he is your fiiend or comes from your section. Don't try to stop a two inch hole with a half-inche peg, nor try to trot out a ten-cent man to do a dollar job. Vote for the right man for the place every time. Announcement. The editor of this Bureau is going to make an effort to attend as many of the South Carolina Farmers Insti tutes this summer as possible. and will be delighted to meet and talk with the progressive element of the farming fraternity at these meetings. Not with a view of teaching progres sive farmers how to farm, but we are out to learn what our up-to-date far mers are doing and how they do it, sthat I may tell others about it as e pass around among them. If you hink our Farmers' Bureau is on the ht track give us a few encouraging, -ords and if you think we are wrong any way, point out the facts'.and we will thank y'ou. No Doubt About This. .. ~It is'the want oT -:ill, not the want of'power that makes the farmer yield tamely to graft and greed. Does your Farmers' Union local be gin to look like la last years bird nest i' If so fire it before insects and spiderj webs cover it. sThen go to work and organize a new one and ke'ep it as lively and hot as a hornet nest in Au gust. ~After analyzing all the more eon servative and intelligent estimates of the cost of the present crop of cot 7ton at hand, this bureau can assure the growers that this crop of cotton will cost much more per acre to grow than was ever known before. The ex -tensive replanting with very costly seed, the cold wet grassy weather. with bad stands and costly labor com bine to make the cost per acre alarm ingly heayy. Just here it is well for our pricing .conventions to weigh care fully all these important factors of cost~ of production before their pegs are driven down at the figures for this crop. Take Your Choice. The rich have the most meat. the poor the best appetite. The rich lay the softest; the poor sleep the sound est. The poor have health. the rich have delicacies. The rich kill them selves~ through fear of poverty; the poor laugh and sing, and Aove their families too well to put the light out of their own life. Tom Watson is Coming. You hear that -rumbling noise in the elements about the Farmers' Union? Well that is a warni~ng that a storm is coming to this state in July; for Tom Watson is booked to add.ress the S a e Yarmers' Union at Greenwood, .C.. at 11 a. mn. Thursday July 25. Look out now for some home made prophe to hop up. An article in the newspapers about the danger ahead by farmers' organizations go ing into politics, as though farmers were dangerous and it was the duty of farmers to -do the voting only whilst others direct them how to cast their vote. Ever Think About This? That when the farmer names his price for his products that give him a reasonable profit, that the farmer as about the same right to know how ueh money the purchacer has in his eket to pay for the farmers cotton. the buyer has to know how much otton the farmer ha in M ware ouse. If buyers rea-on that the': ius nave cottou cheaper because farier, have made better erops. then. farm ers must demand more money for hi cotton because the buyers have mad better profits out of the cotton tha the farmer who made the cotton! Fai iers are to blame for this state of af fairs., it is not the men that take th profits. Cotton warehouses may concro the supply of cotton to suit the de mand, just the same as the mone. vaults hand out the proper amount o money to satisfy the demand by cot ton. Cotton will keep about as long in a good warehouse as money wil keep in a bank. Money may bi said to have little or no intrinsic val ue and its current trade value is lim ited: while cotton's intrinsic value i ree-anized the world over and wil continue to be a current article : tr7ade in all countries so long as babie4 are born naked.
