C. * -* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Taking a Hand in a Losing Game. That is the very thing most all men do who undertake to raise cotton tc buy everything he needs with his cot on money. Now if every man, of the rge majority of growers of cotton re good business men and belonged good business organization with ient intelligence and capital tc ct the interest of cotton grow en the prospects of this special uld be better. But the situation, t the larger per cent of cotton oduced by negroes and enslaved people, who are subjected to all ner of schemes and shrewd trans ions of the well trained and organ ed cotton handling and cotton trad g element, who by concert of action n control the price of this stress cot ton until it is all out of the hands of the producer, at prices to suit the traders and consumers of cotton ir respective of profits or cost of produc tion to the grower of the staple. This stress cotton, which composes at times the larger part of the crop worth billions-you may say if, at the beginning of the season, at least, ab solutely in the hands of the ignorant class of producers and cotton bears. And all that class of-cotton growers who don't grow food crops are forced to take prices made by the reckless element in order to fill hungry bellies. The Independent Farmer. How beautiful the thought, how pleasant the anticipation, how glow ing are the hospitable invitations of this glorious Southland of ours to come and be an independent farmer. What a commentary upon the intelli gence, what a reflection upcn our gen eral character to ive in-a land "flow ing with milk and honey" and then buying the milk and the honey too. Our state and national farm demon stration men have proven by reputable ;witness that corn has 'been grown at a cost of from 15 to 35 cents per bush el and we buy millions of bushels at 75 cents to $1.00 per bushel. Our farm demonstration workers aad individuals, too-have proven that we can -produce pork at a cost of. 3 to 6 cents per pound, and millions of dol lars are spent' every year for pork at 12 1-2 cents to 20 cents per pound, and there is scarcely any article of food crops that we buy but what can be grown at home with equal profit. Why this deplorable state of affairs among our "all-cotton farmers?" At first thought one would naturally con clude that our experimenters are the biggest set of liars on earth or our "all-cott.on farmers" are the biggest set'o,f fools on earth-oue or the other. But neither of these conclusions are correct solutions of the problem. The plain facts are that many all-cotton farmers are aware of these truths, but they are so firmly chained downi to a system and habit of growing cotton crops on credit, that they have not the manhood or knowledge how to break the prison~ chains of the credit and cot ton king and be free men by growing 'their own supplies at home. Farmer's Educational and Co-opera tive Union is the name of our only * State-wide farmers' organization, and the educational feature comes first in our efforts, for the reason that if we can teach our "all-cotton farmers' how to break loose these prison chains of growing stress or credit cotton by proper rotation of crops, that the vic tory for profitabie prices for cotton and the independent farmer has beer won. Now is your time to make a breali for freedom by planning to grow a .supply of every food crop that youi land will produce. Join the Farmers union and feel good. Our Farmers un'ion men have learned that we can not grow an over-supply of cotton anc -bulldoze the world into taking thE crop off our hands at our price wheth er the consumer needs it or not. W< should not "cuss out" the New Yor1 cotton exchange for something we dit ourselves; or vilify the merchants foi *making big profits on food stuff that 'we can grow at home and keep this big profit at home for our own' benefit Be an independent farmer or quit.
