Kducation meant an increase in the
yield, and getting out of debt and
gelling together meant that the farmers
could hold their cotton. Willi
the cotton acreage reduced lo half,
and the other half planted in corn,
and the yields increased, and witli
the farmers out of debt ;iml standin:

The union had had all kinds

President, 15. Karris. J
I 're >'.< h' n I I'.. 11 a n is. ol the State
mien, was then introduced.
President Harris said il he were to
lake hi> rhoice of subjects he would
speak on diversified argicullure. became
he loved I hat subject ,atul because
l! t? farmers needed div\J-dfied
agriculture. liul the fanners, he
said, needed organization now more
than a11\ thing else. If the farmers
of the South had organized thirtyfive
years ago, the South would have
been Ihe richest country in Ihe world
"today.
Mr. Davis, he said, had referred lo
tile bank deposits of the Iowa fanners.
Il was as easy to make two
dollars in South Carolina, lie said, as
to make one dollar in Iowa. The j
people of South Carolina had twice
the advantages. If we were lo go to
Towa and do as we did here, we
would soon he iu the poor house. The
farmers of South Carolina spent
three dollars x\ 11iI? the farmers of
Iowa spent fifty cents. If the farmers
ol Iowa average .^l.'JOO each in
the banks, the farmers of South Carolina
ouglil to average each.
The fanners of South Carolina had
made money, but I hex did not have
it. The north-eastern States and
the west had il. lie wanted to presold
a plan by which the fanners of
the South couhl enrich themselves
and have money, instead of enriching
Other peoples.
There were three planks in the
platform which ho wanted to present,
and every man who tilled Ihe
soil could got on Ibis platform. The
throe planks wore:
1. Organization.
'J. Co-opera linn.
/ 3. Diversification of crops.
.
- I *i versi t it*jii ion of crops whs sr.
* 1the people of South C'aro
1 didn't know much about, lie said,
> he urged its importance. Lots
farmors, lie said, would not even 1
> turnip patches.
Organization meant educat
> I'll rough organization came coop
lion, and by cooperation power
secured. Diversification of ci
made I lie farmers free, indepeiu
men.
I Organization had raised the p
of cotton within the last four or I
( vears $17..~>0 per hale. (Jo h
I weni v-five years beyond the
' lour or five years, he said, am
^ would be seen that the average p
?I cotton per bale was Si
thai lime the average price li;id h
>0..?0. In | lie |;1^| fjvc years ->o
Carolina li.nl made about 1.000,
b;iles of col nit per year. So that
"i ii/.ation <>|' |!m> fanners had n I
to die wealth of South I'tiroi
about $I / ,.>00.0(10 each year due
' ' Ifst live vears, and every mail
business in the South had been o.1
lited. The beneficial results w
in evidence everywhere through
I lie South, and on every ha.in new
lerprises a'id belter residences w
going up.
At one time, said Mr. Harris,
i"rvihing was fighting tlii <farnu
I movement. Now the inovemcnl ]
| all t lie friends it wanted, ami all
j encoui agement it wanted, but
| farmers themselves did Mot put
I much vim ami life in the organi
I l ion as it ought to l?ave.
President Harris reviewed the 1
|! "I orgaiii/.at ion, which
-aid was started in Texas by (ire
I'n. with about ten members, and
:i dollar in the treasury. Today,
s:lid, the union bad 2,100,000 nu
hers, "with nothing to discourage
j but ourselves, and nobmlv else iu

was thai the farmers had not be
organized.
II w"as impossible to break I
South, said President Harris, or
j would have been bankrupt long agr
President Harris said that the lY
iner who bad bought corn this ve
had paid $1.10 per bushel for it, ai
that I luxe who were forced lo h
Irom now on would pay $1.1.") i

at a cent and a half a pound, and t
ery man present could raise 1
<'?ui ill three cents per pound, if tl
would carry out the plan he woi
give them, when those who were hi
ing it now were paying 10 jo

buying flour were paying from $.1
