Barrett of the Na tional Karmere’ union htts called a national convention of farmers at the Coliseum at St. Louis to continue in session from May 3 to 4. It is to discuss needed national and State legislation and to establish bu reaus ^ different capitals to see that the demands of the farmer are heard, and to devise some means of making the farm more attractive in order that the proposed solution of the economic problems of today—“back to the farm” may be possible. President Barrett in his call says: “This will be a national mass meet ing for farmers unparalleled in scope, probably in importance, undoubted ly in attendance, in the history of America. I invite not only every member of our organization, but also all agricultural organizations and all American farmers without regard to location or organization. “Throughout the present session of congress the farmers’ union has maintained a legislative bureau at Washington. This bureau is pre paring a report in which the status of legislation demanded and needed by the farmer is set forth. It will be read at St. Louis. “At no time in the history of the nation has the farmer been the ob ject of more solicitude to thoughtful public men. From congress, from every newspaper forum, from every pulpit goes up the cry ’back to the land!’ Expert students of econo mics are warning us that unless the lot of the farmer be improved, un- less more of his number be kept on th«> farm, we shall soon be depending on foreign nations for some of our food that I invite the farmers of America WALTERBORO LfiCAL MEETS. The Walterboro local met Satur day dftemoon at .‘5 o’clock with a go*l attendance of members. Four applicants were initiated and several topics of interest w-Vre discussed, among thef'e being “The Use of the Gasoline Engine on the Farm,” and “The Williamson Corn Method.” The paper on the use of gasoline 1 engine on the farm prepared by S. P. Goodwin was carefully prepared and listened to with interest by those present. The papers on “The Preparation for Planting Cotton” and “union ism” were continued till the next meeting.

Should anyone succeed in funeralizing it we don’t see how they could pay a low tribute to it. because all infants are good not hav ing lived long enough or to maturity to degenerate, some of us have thus ^ far missed benefits to lie derived this , spring, now let’s look out for fall’s help. It appears to me that there is an investment or an expenditure in every business enterprise before re wards are gathered. Behold your stock or crop, for instance. You raise hogs to the essential size before butchering for market. You prepare your land, get your fertilizer, put it down, plant your corn, cultivate it until it develops into maturity and then harvest it, and thus we per ceive that an output always precedes an incomes, and an income succeeds an output almost invariably if prop erly managed. Hence, we cannot FARMERS' UNION 'DIRECTORS NATIONAL. "President—Chas S Barrett, Union '| City, Ga. Vice-President Gleason. Tenn. '■» Secretary-Treasurer R H McCul loch, 116 1-2 W. Broad street.

GASOLINE ENGINE ON THE FARM. The following article was read at Walterboro Local Union Saturday afternoon by S. P. Goodwin: One of the most convenient and practical powers we have is the gas- olin engine. It is one of the handi est machines we have on the farm for doing heavy work. This engine can be used for driving almost any thing that can be driven by power, and it may be used for ginning, threshing, shelling corn, sawing wood, churning, pumping water, turning grinding stones, and vari ous other things. This is not an ex pensive machine, and no farm is complete without one. The average fanner cannot afford to buy an engine and all of the ma- chiney in one year, but they can buy the engine and one or two machines each year until they have a complete outfit, and when once the engine is bought then there is little expense for repairs and gasoline. The small engines are now being built in a very perfect form and are about as near foul proof as they can be made—they are simple and easily operated, so that one does not need an experienced man to run them. They are about as easily operated as a mowing machine, and anyone can operate them. Now in conclusion, I would advise anyone who is interested in buying an engine, and who has had no expe rience, to get the Bulleton No. 4.

We believe that two of the greatest troubles with the farmer today, is his lack of confidence in his fellowman and him self. We don’t think we can help ourselves as farmers. We hear it said we can do without everybody else, but they can’t do without us. We hardly believe it. Another trou ble with us is that we lack sttckabil- ity and the ability to recognize our ability to ameliorate our conditions. It is not a hard matter to get a fel low to agree to the fact verbally that in union there is strength, but it it a hard matter to get some of us to do it practically, but after all we believe there is enough genuine oil to keep the lamp burning.
