This Depaftment is intended for the use of the members of | themselves in taking advantage of
their fellow farmers by selling their
cotton now for delivery in Octol>er.
They are not. They are injuring
themselves, their neighbors, their
neighbor's neighbors; in fact, til
that grow cotton are being injured
by Such movements. If the specu
lators can get hold of enough cottotr
under this kind of a system to enable
them to run. then they can hammer
thejmces of cotton under their eor-
trol, throwr the price of cotton down,
etc.
When, oh. when, will the farmer
learn to do business like other peo
ple?—Farmera Union News.
GET A LIVING FROM THE GAR
DEN.
Ily husband and I belong to the
Fanners Union. Wfc take The Far
mers Union News, and like to read
it.^We raise our hogs chickens and
cows. We raise our onw vegetables,
and hive a nice garden. We can
tomatoes, beets, bsana. and«U kSwb
of fruit to do us from one fruit
time to the itact. Why don't all the
farmers’ wives raise strawberries?
I have a smalt bed in my garden and
have hid plenty of atrawberries for
three weeks. They come in so early
and are so nice for pies, custards,
and strawberry ice cream can't be
beaten in looks or in taste. I think
you all can have them if you will
just aet out you a little bed next fall
of a good kind of strawberry. Ii
like to work in the garden, and see
the vegetables grow. It will not be
long, until we have plenty to eat in
the graden. I like flowers and like
to work with them. I have a good
many box flowers, geraniums in
boxes and on the ground, too. I
have some fine monthly roses in the

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
Here is some good advice to re
member when buying a farm. Three
things should be high, the house, the
orchard and the spring; three should
be low, the hay bam, the taxes and
the price of the farm, says The
American Cultivor. Three things
schould be thick, the top soil, the
mowings and the wood lot; three
thin, the insects, pests and foul
plants. Three things should be
near, the neighbors, the markets and
the schools; three should be distant,
saloons, tramps and borrowers; three
should be scanty, rocks, droghts and
early frosts; three should be infre
quent, mud, mosquitoes and med
dlers; three should be abundant,
wood, water and lador. Three
things should be deep, the well, the
cellar and the purse. Three things
should be wide, the fields, the tool
chest and the roads. Three things
should be light, the grades, the liv
ing room and the mortgage.—Union
Fanner.
SECRETARY’S NOTICE

possible so that the county secre
taries may be able to complete their

The city and twon schools are all
closing at the present time. How
about your schools in the country,
rural schools?
Have not many of these long since
been closed? And while you people
on the farm are reading of the clos
ing exercises of the city and town
schools and schools throughout the
State, and your children reading of
the same, you ought to think about
the conditions in the country and see
if you cannot make some effort for
a better school for your children.
Not only an effort for a better school
in the way of longer terms, a better
school house, and one more com
fortable. but also see if you cannot
plan to have taught in these schcols
the things pertaining to the occupa
tion you are following and that
which yttur children will, and should,
follow when they become to be men
and women.—Farmers Union Sun.
SEC. LOVE TO SPEAK.
Sec. A W Love of the State Fair
Association has been invited to ad
dress the Farmers’ Union the Civic
League and the public at 12 o’clock
Saturday. Let everyone interested
county fair be present.
The business of fanning is more
or less affected by political ques
tions, or rather questions of pqlitical
economy. But when the Farnaers’
Union aaka for legislative action on
these questions it practically takes
them out of partisan politics, for no
political party is likely to openly op
pose what the fanners ask for in an
organized body. Thus these other
wise political questions are simply
