Urge* MamuI Market for Corn, Hay
and Live Stock.
An editorial on till* subject in
the Watchuiau aud Houthrou of No
vel.) bor 8lh and tho letter of Dr.
Waller Choyno commenting on tho
nuiiio gl you a good opportunity to
recall boijio recent history ancient
bUtory In this rapid ago anyway
U ueeniH to have been forgotten,
however, not <|ulto three year* old.
When elected President of tho Sum
ter County Fanner* Union, tho wrl
. ter Bald: "it we will finance our
faring from tho 1st day of January
to tho 1st duy of September, the
? cotton crop will flnanco itself."
. Wo were then confronted with
He cotton, and tboro wan much plan
ning how to got on a better bnals,
nothing Jiko tho epidemic of plana
at present, for wo had not then taat
od 12, 13, 14 and 16c cotton aa a
steady dhrt.
1 ho wrltor then began a cam
paign for the establishment of pro
duco exchanges In every largo town
to distribute tho farmers surplus
food eropn directly among tho con
sumers. At every opportunity, In
BoaaoU and out of season, ho stro?8
od the n?<)d of tho farmers feodlng
ut flrut hands the dwellers In tho
towns, the railroad and factory peo
ple aud their' llvo stock, and that
Jjt could only he dono properly by
f>ur own soiling agencies, and that
it Was In tho line of tho only truo
solution of the labor problem and
tho cotton problem. I'ooplo listen
ed and were pleased to compliment
tho Hpoakor, but vory little was
. dono. Why? Doc ft u ho tho prlco of
cotton wfts so attractive that vory
fow pooplo could seo anything olso.
T?ho fow could make their own nup
pll?s but thoy could not build up
ft Bystomatlc marketing for tholr
BurpluH. Committees of tho farm
ors* Union woro appolntod, but In
no lnstunco could thoy got subscrip
tions to tho stock of a sales agon
?y ? In novoi\il counties wo worked
up stock companies as our buying
agents. The wrltor encouraged It
boeauso It wan tho only way to so
curo co-operation and that training
In business methods that wo nood;
but ho constantly pictured the ul
tlniftto good to bo: Tho sales of
own i) rod u co to food our own peo
ple, and tho salo of our great mo
ney crop ? -cottou ? thru thoso Bame
agents of out's.
1 horo aro a number of onterprls
cs in tho State, but' tho wrltor is
In?ro familiar with tho Union Drok
orago Co., of Sumtor, than any oth
ers, and would llko to prosont somo
of tho foaturos that commend It
und Homo of tho difficulties undor
which It labors, it has boon pro
motive of tho spirit of Unionism in,
threo counties. {t has saved
thousands of dollars for its custo
mers on purchases and it has dono
Boniolh ing for its patrons in soli
ng country curod moats, oats, sy
ruP and poas, but most of tho far
mers sooin to profor "peddling 'em
nround" n8 Dr cheyne says about
mo ling oats, and rarely put any
thing in tho hands of the managor,
when thoy can sell by peddling, bo
:auso they Have lilt* commission,
lover giving a thought to the fact
:hat In thin way they are prevent
ing tho building up of a busings
Lhat will ussuro them a stoudy mar
ket for ull they can raise to feed
tho country.
We are doing u wonderful busi
ness on the capital we have persua^
ded the farmers to put up. Hut we
cannot hulld cold storago jrooms,
grain elevator* and a packing plant
for meat on tho uncertainty of the
cotton farmers growing theso things
uhIuhh the farmer who sees the
need of those facilities will sub
scribe stock in proportion to their
means and tho amount of ouch
crops thoy expect to inarkqt^ It
la not likely that otliors will build
them to ho usod for ono season
and thou ho idle because tho farm
ers havo won tho cotton fight and
havo gone hack to their idol--? cot
ton.
' Tho writer cannot speak for tho
othor Farmers' Union enterprises
in tho Stato, hut ho knows that
tho Union Brokorago Co., of Sum
tor, will ho glad to double, or ov
on quadruple its capital Btock and
put Jn tho necessary plant to han
dlo Buch u business, if tho farm
ers who want to grow auch crops
for market will take stock propor
tionate^' tO tllOlr needu nnrt nntnr <p
to bonded contracts to furnish tho
produco for a sorles of yoars.
Thoro is no uso to expect any
body olso to do it under any othor
conditions. And if It is done by
outsiders, or othor than farmors,
how long will It bo before we
chargo thom with putting all the
profits Into thoir own pockets.
Llko the Maryland farmorB and
tho applet* upon which tho Nowh &
Courier commented' recontly. The
furmorq havo It in thoir own hande
to revolutionize our methods of
furming and finance and tho Farm
ors' Union offers tho place in co
operative soiling. Will this crlsif
cause them to surrender somo ol
this boasted Independence by Join
ing tho Union and bocomlng truly
Independent? Wo shall see.
