Farmers Union Bureau of
Information
?Conducted by the?
South Carolina .Farmers' Educational
and Co Operation Union.
L I^Coramunications intended for this
department should be addressed to J. C
Stribling, Pendleton, S. C.
This Farmers Union Bureau was
established for the purpose of meeting
all false or deceptive newspaper
articles gent out through the press of
the south by Cotton Exchanges and
others for the express purpose of advancing
the interest of buyers and
speculators by deceiving cotton growers.
Our efforts in this department are
to protect the interest of farmers in
'm a general way, by sending out a letter
each week to all county and other
t newspapers that will make arrangements
with Ili<! farmers of their secL
tions for this letter, jvhich will be
W mailed out every Saturday and re||n
leased to the press on Tuesday.
Farmers Union Cotton Letter.
Fifteen cents is the minimum for
middling cotton beginning the first of
b September. One-quarter of a cent
! ; per pound will be added monthly,
j Island long staple will run from
42 cents for No. 1, to 27 for No. 4,
i ' with an average of 1-2 a cont per
& pound monthly.
Since the Farmers Union and the
Cott on Association prices are the
same for both lint and cotton seed
and that many merchants and others
are now taking in and holding cotton
for the minium mprice of 15 cents,
this grand concert of action for llio
common good, the business element
of the whole south accepts the decision
and expresses no doubt that
A* 'he minimum be reached at an early
Ufi date, notwithstanding the gall disEL"
played by llio Savannah cotton buyfc
ers in (heir statement that they would
K get tin1 col Ion for l.'{ cents.
The tub of ?all and wrong, against
I and right is on to a finish and it
I behooves every man in the south to
R stand up for the farmer, for all realI:
i/.e that what is to the advantage of
| the farmer rebounds to the welfare
:? of the whole south.
If cotton farmers were not organized
and in the field protecting their
interest, today cotton Would be sell^
ing for 8 cents or less. Show your

manhood, boys, and stand up for oui

No! the Farmers' Union eanno
prevent some cotton farmers fron
acting the foul and letting their cot
ton go at a price below the minimun
, when they can help it.
> But all loyal conservative business
fanners know that the minimum o;
1?^ cents will be much easier reached
this year than any minimum set be
fore.
W e are in possession of facts anc
data to prove that 15 cents will noi
cover the actual cost of productior
to a considerable territory in cottor
in^ most all the states west of th<
Mississippi and also a lot of section*
in all the states east of the Missis
sippi.
Tn addition to reports from loca
unions all over the cotton belt, the
committee on minimum prices had the
counsel of a large number of can
vassers who had canvassed all th(
col Ion stales. These canvassers arc
anions'- our best practical fanners and
are no| the kind of men (hat could
aliord lo fool or deceive themselves
and friends.
Pay Your Debts Through the Warehouses.
Instead of one thousand warehouses
as we have slated before, (lie Farmers
Union authorities on this subject
now make the statement that the
I'aimers Union now owns and operates
more than two thousand warehouses,
and building more.
Now these warehouses were put up
to take tare of the cotton by insuring
il from loss from both lire and the
weather by men who are able to hold
Mich collou, as well as lo furnish a
way by which I hose I hat are in debt
n<ay store their collon and draw
civilly per cent of its current price
and pay their debts without placing
their collon on (lie market at forced
sale a I ruinous prices lo all owners of
collon. The Farmers Union discourages
the system of growing mortgaged
collon crops, and will not stand
for I he mean practice of some who
store I heir collon al I he expense of
their creditors after debts are due,
No! \on cannot ride Ihe Farmers Union
horse over many roads like that;
you cannot be a good Farmers Union
man and not pay your bills when duo
if you can possibly do so.
Another cause for a short, crop that
is likely lo deceive Ihe people is that
a very large area of cotton has been

the seed used for this replanting was J
fc generally very poor seed from the1

- never make a full crop.
1 There is more late, stalky, thinly

P than was even known before.

if we have an early killing frost, cotton
will go to 29 cents in 24 hour-'
I afterwards.
