C. Stribling. Comimunications intenee for this depat incikt hould be addressed to J. C. Stribling, Penileton, S. U. I Coiiu iairnitnldf i-i s C c Best Thing Yet. The Virgiiaia-Carolina Chemical 0 company has contributed $1,000 to c the fund of the Cotton Growers' I Association and several of the e smaller companies have made 8 equally liberal contributions in I aiding the farmers to obtain better t prices for their products. C But the funniest thing y.et in t this line are the comments made E on the liberality of the fertilizer companies, One farmer who (lid not belong to either of the farm ers' organizations said : Well, I guess the guano men can afford to do that, all, they have to do to get it back is to charge it upon the! price of fertilizers and the farmer I will have it to pay at last." Now if this thing works out in the way stated, it is a splendid idea. If a farmer will not join in an organ ized effort to iel) hiisolf there " ought to be some plan put in vogue c to compel him to contribute to the efforts being made to benofit all HC cotton growers. w 'I'io farmers' union is well forti- tc fied when it comes to charging up al things to thon. They are well or- 01 ganized for business ai)d can pro- a tect themselves against any and al tI efforts of this nature, but the un- n organized farmers-that class of ti farmers that will not join the P union-can be worked t,> suit the 0 trade on any old plan that the a other fellow may desire; but when the farmers' union is met, it means l a very different farmer. The w union man belongs to a large body c4 of the best farnmeis in the country w and is in a p)ositlin to protect his It interests and is doing it. Just here it is in order to ex- w plamn the differenice between "The ai Farmers' Edlucational and Co-op- 511 erative Union" and "The Cotton w Growers' Association." The Grow- at e' Association is an open door or coniventionali organization and al. ai lowvs farmiers, merchants, bankers, ai lawvyers, cotton mill men,, and moat h anybody to join them; while the Ce Educational and C o-o p er ativye a Union allows none to join but fat. c mners, minuisters and doctors. The union is a secret organization, fi wvhile the Girowers' Association v holds its sessions with open doors. ti The object of both these organi zations is to benefit the farmers of t the cotton States and it goes with out saying that when you foster ej the~ interest of agriculture in this cour.tiy every other interest there in is benelitted. Therefore both these organizations are rivals for good, each havinig chosen its own pilanis to accomi1lish the same pur poses, and we have cautioned all union men against speaking one fc word against the Growers' Asso, i * eclation.'" But on the other hand, g when you ilud a farmer that will * not join the unin, ask him to join ti the Growers' Association, and if-. he will not join either of these * write his name and postoflice down and ask hun "what moat be the name of the crowd lie belongs to, anyhow.''
