Cojtinu fll (qttiOIIs intended for this depart nient slould he( addressed to J. (. Strinhing, Pendletoim, South Carolinit. The Way We Size it Up. The prices for your cotton next Fall is just what cotton productirs make it.. Your work now is about all directed, indirectly or directly, towards miaking the condition that are to rule or control the prict of your cotton for this crop and t( some extond the next crop, too. If you help do a. thing yoursol: then d.ni't go about blaming soime other fellow for doing it. If you can buy your grain, bu and other farm products cheapej than you can raise these products, then you are not as good a farm i as the other man that does this foi you, antd you can also buy your cot ton cheaper than you can grow it too. Few peoplo can reaizo how sici they have been until they begin t get over it; few farmer realize wha a fool they are about cotton unt they begin to buy high paiped fart pioduces with low pridod cotton. If it takes a wise man to act wis and a fool to act a fool, then it i a natural thing to expect none bu good business men to succeed i; buying many farm products witi which to grow tho ono product, cotton. How many of theso so called "business farmers"' do you know of that have been up against a busi ness proposition like this for many years that now have nothing to show for their business qualifica tion in any form of accumulation excepting, perhaps, a family of rgaged and ignorant children and a mortgaged mule or cowl No doubt you'vo heard of the "business woman" that borrowed a sitting of eggs romin one neighbor and a bro "yi-h from another -she said she had the nest. Well, now, we are betting on this wvoman coming out ahead of the man that buys everything on credit that ho uses in growiing his crop of cottoii. Now, this is the close of cotton producers that control the early cotton market. These are the real dumpers, and the men that furnish the supplies of all sorts to such un business like, incompetent matna gers of such an important industry as cotton growing, are the real re sponsible parties, These never-do wells could never rule the cotton busiessu'nless t he suppl y mien and the Jandowuers put thia inpor tant business in the hands of such inLcompetent parties. These business men an~d the land owners are now coming together to control this matter; they are roe quiring each of this class of cotton producers to diversify his crops, which is the only way to enforce the necessary fundamen tal prin ci, ple or system u pon w hich the South can ever make her pricos for her cotton and maintain profitable prices. Cheap Hogs. It you were to make a cheap coat you should havc cheap materi al to begin with. But when it! comes to hogs, a cheap, ill-bred animal is not the kind to start with!

Now -is the time to prepare for harvesting the small gram crop Of all the busy months in the cot ton States the harvtst times are the limes of the most work and th shortest time to do it in. Cotton and corn crops and smnall gramn crops all need attention about the same time. Fames Unions can aid each other through these extre)mely busy weeks by clubbing tog.-ther and buying binders, thresh~hing machin ery and other costly farm muachin ery, that jerhiaps may be too much outlay for onie farmer to loot up; andl if the Uioni do0es not s'ee fit to buy this machinery they can coim bino and contract with some mi. in her that will do all this hairvestinig machine work for (1hem1 at thne prop-) er timo, and thus make it p~ossiblO to guarantee sufficient work to jus8 tify a progressive young man to in vest in and up-to-date outfit. Thip kind of work is right along the straight road with the true princi ples of the Farmers' Union. Farm labor is no0W too high to use only bohind the boat farm machinery, tools, teqams and imiplements. If Dno farmer cannot aflord to get thle best of all these, the farmers mnust yombine their efforts and help each >ther, so as to obtain this import.. mt help just at the time when im >roved machmnery is most noeded ipon the farm. Union men, take old of this harvest question now nid get ready for hot tiums ahead. * * * * When you first heard about thie 'armers' Union coming your way ou could not help thinking about " 11 the bad things the Alliance had no, could you?
