Farmers' Ut
By G
Local Organizations Are
Bodies-Many Bend
Agriculturists Throui
The Unions.
(By J. Whltner Reid, Secretary.)
Thc farmer often loses sight of the
advantages and benefits of organiza
tion while he is looking around for
something to better his condition. He
fails to grasp the idea that organized
activity and well-directed efforts
along educational and cooperative
Hues -.viii necessarily accomplish more
and latter results than individual ef
forts can possibly dr.. In union there
is siren gi IK Concentration of effort,
when well planned and directed, fur
nisher: power and gives good results.
Tho Farmers' Educational and Co
operativo Union of America ls an or
ganisation that began in Texas in
11102 and entered this State in the fall
of 19GG and the spring of 1907. The
?'?e-'inK preamble to the constitu
tion wih give the objects, aims and ]
purposes of the organization:
Preamble.
"In the course of modern industrial j
development we find it necessary that]
thc farmer not only apply the prin
ciples of scientific agriculture, but
that he systematize his business by
cooperation and apply the principles
of scientific commerce.
?"Expensive and tasteful methods
of exchange have boen a constant
drain on thc farming class, and spec
ulation has been allowed to demora
lize markets and prevent the normal]
op?ration of .the law of supply and]
demand. \
"Tn enable farmers to meet these
conditions and orotect their interests,
the Farmers' Educational and Cooper
ative Union of America has been or
ganized for the following
Purposes
"To secure equity, establish Jus
tice and apply the Golden Rule.
"T0 discourage the credit and mort
gage system.
"To assist our members in buying |
and selling.
"To educate the agricultural classes |
In. scientific farming.
"To teach farmers the clasBlflca-]
""".i . Ci?jr??, wuiuvBUV ?uuawiji luu
the process ot marketing.
"To syst?matise methods of pro
duction and distribution. .
Constitution
"To eliminate gan&liug lu faim
nroducta by Boards of Trade, Cotton
Exchanges and other speculators.
"To bring farming up to tho stan
dard of other industries and holness
enterprises.
"To secure and maintain profitable
and uniform prices for cotton, grain,
live stock and other products of the
farm.
"To strive for harmony and good
will among all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
"To garner the tears of the distress
ed, the blood of martyrs, the laugh of
li icent childhood, the sweat of hon
"-i ta ocr, ann tu? virtue of a happy
home as tho brightest iewels known."
Thcso purposes are all good and
are for the uplift of the agricultural
Interests ot the country. The plan pf
t organization is to secure local un
ions in which the individual members
are enrolled, five being the minimum
for a charter and fifteen, or more,
being preferred. When fire, or, more,
local unions are organised in a coun
ty, delegates from same meet and are
organized Into a. county union. The
State unlnn is composed of Its offi
cers and the delegates from the coun
ty unions. The national anion is com
pqsed of tts offiecTB and the delegate?
from the State unions.
The farmers' union offers to the
farmers of. this and other. States au
organization ' to assist them to help
themselves - by coop?ration. The - ad
vantages and benefits may bo briefly
stated principally along three lines.
First tho educational advantage? to be
derived from membership .are very
important. ' Every local union should
he ? school for the study of scientific
agriculture. Subjects for discussion
and a regular cours*, of study servo
to mnko the moetihgs attractive and
helpful. We can come in contact with
al) the government agencies for the
instruction ot the fanners tn scien
tific -and , ecouomlc production, such
as the United States farm demonstra
work, ethe state department of
culturo, and Clemson coll?ge and
orlletlhs and farm Journals
ch bet ter. in nn organised capacity
ai individuals. Organised work
tn this tine produces better results
than individual activity. '
Social aad Fraternal Beaefiti
In the second plac? may be men-,
tinned the social ead fraternal fcsw-T
fita from meeting together regatarlyj
A
before that Hine, go
the Nucleus to Larger
|its Are Derived by the
h Their Associations in
from time to time with the inter
change ot idees and the development
of a community spirit While lt is
true that. the union is primarily an
educational and cooperative organisa
tion, yet at the same time it is a fra
ternal order and has advantages and
benefits along this Une also, which
aro simply indicated without giving
d stalls.
The third Une .ls cooperation in
buying and selling. Those things
that can best be handled in large
quantities, boxes, barrels, cases, or
even car load lots, such as fertilizers,
fertiliser materials, farm supplies,
etc., are in most cases bought through
the-union on a cooperative plan. At
each meeting of the local union there
should be a roll call of the members
present for cooperative buying to as
certain the needs of each and make
up an order for same and arrange
for the purchase. Much can be saved
by the members in -this kind of co
operative work when properly man
a?edv Cour.;y unions do the same
kind of work on a little larger scale
than the local unions, through their'
count/ business agents. Many of our
local unions and most of our county
unions in this State have accomplish
ed a great deal in the line of coop
erative buying. As a concrete exam
ple ot this work it may be stated
that Jackson's Creek local union in
IY.chland county purchased fertilizer
materials for home mixing on the co
operative plan last season and at the
current prices that were quoted for
the mixed .goods the union saved be
tween $350 and $400. Many examples
could ;be given in different parts of
the State. Some of our county unions
are doing good work. Dorchester
count)' union has a county .business
agent ?hat is an active worker and
la large volume of business has pass
led through his office during the past
Ipcason and bis work bas been of much
Ibcnefit to the members of the farro
lera' union in that county. Loxing!' . J
?Saluda. Sumter and Union mar bf
Intentioned as counties that are '
?good work through the union. *?,
?not the purpose ol th 1? article to. ?i?>i
?many cohe/?te examples, as thai I
?would miike it too long. * We wish to)
?point out the advantages and benefits
?of this kind of cooperation and indi-'
?cate ita possibilities. .
I Cooperativo Belling ls also very im
?portant In fact it may be said to
?bo more Important, If anything, than
?cooperative buying, for the farmers
?should be sellers more than buyers.
H At each meeting of the local union
?here s'Jould be a roll call of the
?members present for cooperative Bell
in? to find out what tho union nab to
?seit It should then be the effort of
?thci union to assist, the members to
?phd. a ?i?rke? for what they have to
^L2po?? cf and.tbay should sell to-j
?tether in a cooperative way.
. Woii? it i? tr?? timi u?i ?s much
?accomplished in the line of coopera
tito, selling as in cooperative buying

some sales hare been made to the ad
?ntntage and benefit of tho farmers In
?ijiHi il ot the unions. This 1 a field
?thht has not been developed as yot in
?lila part of ihe country. We should
?lim our attention to marketing and
?loveiop thia important side of our
?work moto. Collective marketing

Oil
The War and
Will tho European war, by causing
an increased demand for agricultural
products, benefit the farms of this
country? It ls by no mear .1 certain
that It will.
The savings of the world in one year
may amount to $500,000,000 or ?C,
000,000,000; the war will destroy that
amount of wealth in three or four
months. Consider the resulting scarc
ity ot capital. throughout the world,
the consequent restriction of produc
tion, the diminished supply of labor,
the increase In the rate of interest.
Farmers cannot escapo the ef cts of
such economic disturbances.
Suppose that most farm products do
I advance: does lt follow that there will
I be a real increase in profit to the far
mer? Will farmers as a group lose
more than they gain on account of the
I higher prices they must pay for every
thing they buy? Farmers are consum
ers as well as producers: they are
buyers as well as sellers, even of ag
ricultural products.
Suppose that wheat goes to 11.50 or
t2 a bushel. Hew many farms in one
hundred raise wheat? Only twenty
three. Consequently, seventy-seven
farmers must pay exorbitant prices
to twenty-three farmers for one of
the principal articles of food. Most
wheat farmers buy their flour from
tho merchant; they will have to sur
render In that way some of the profit
that they may re?oive for unground
wheat
No form produces everything, or
nearly everything," that its owner
needs. Potatoes grow on only one-half
of all the farms, and sweet potatoes

Cotton may go to fifteen or twenty.

Letters Fro\
Farmers' Rights.
Brother Farmers: Did yon know
/ou or e the worst abused of .any other
Iclass of people on earth? And why is
lt thus? Now listen, and I will tell
you something that I think must be
the cauBO.
First, that you don't demand your
Irights. That too many of you are
asleep or ignorant as at What your
rights should be. I.think all farmers
should get together and fix a living
trice on hie product the same as mer
an ta do on their merchandise. It
ould be oauall v right for von to sav 2
Mr. A that I ask so aud<cr> for such
inga, as lt would be fer the mer-,
ihont to price .his-waros to von. I
lo think lt a great shame on you i.*?rm
fj0 tolerate auch dangs. I just ,?et
Ul unnerved to. think o? it It is high
limo tor you to make a start to do
amething. It has been this way ever
itnco I can remember.
If you farmers don't make a start
try to bettor things, I dont know
rh?t will become of you. You know
rou farmers are the foundation of
3 ve ry other industry, and why should
rou Bulk about lt?
You should be proud that you are
farmers, and I know you would be,, if
?ou would only demand and get your
rights. I look on farming as one of the
rreutest occupations a?td one that
moro pleasure can b<s derived from
ian any omer industry. If you farm
ers would only educate yourselves to
mnage tnat. uno ot business to a
?Treater advantage for aelf. Keep out
>f debt and learn to live in the bounds
A COMPARISON. .:<
A Fort Worth, Texito ?hardware firm ?
aaa sent out a letter in which it urges
Bou thorn farmers not. to seek to be <
iviiat tho Indians arc-awards of. the |
government All of us, the letter says, .
Eave to meet loase* from time to time .
?md the farmer Should moot his just si
other citizens do. It he does not owe 1
anything, he has a right to hold his
uotton as long ah he pleas' hut if tn c
Hebt, be ought eithor. to borVow or sell
to pay his debts. Thc men to whom he t
Dwea money is entitled to his pay
?nente and may be forced to the wall
if ho docs not KStthem x '
.The Fort Worth firm -insists that %
potton is worth what lt will bring in
the market, nut what lt costs to raise ?
[t. In reply to the Assertion that it ,1
busts ton cents a pquha to raise cot
ton, it says a great many, thousands 1
r?r tannera got rich, ot. At least Inde
pendent raising cotton at.seven cents i
i pound.
The farmers* answer to that would i
BO that what h6 naen costs more to
lay. The Fort warta firm dent?s that, t
assorting, on the contrary, that the ,
?thar producto of the farm sell for1, i
Cafe new than then, that what the
rmer burn costs less and that he ls t
B?Utog ?tout ?Ta bale for seed that 1
lie waa not getting. To prove this con
tention, the Fort Worth firm gives

that lets than on^ quarter of the
farms raise cotton. Sugar, dry beans
and rice are raised on only a small
proportion of our farms. Moreover, If
the war continues, the price of cloth
ing, and of almost all sorts of man
ufactured goods, will rise.
It is not even certain that there will
be an increased effective European de
mand for our farm products, not ex
cepting wheat. Europe has suspended
credit payments, and will take only
gold; consequently it must pay gold.
As a rule, the nations at war aro not
paying, and cannot pay in' goods, and
the loan market of this country has
been oiosed to them. Cotton manufac
turing is paralyzed in the warring na
tions, which have taken yearly about
two-thirds of our crop. Fruits have
been exported from the United States
to the countries at war to the value of
$20,000,000 a year. That demand has
ceased absolutely.
We have no meat that we can af
ford too export. If we do export it, the
price of meat, and of meat animals,
will advance, ?.nd there will be a
wasteful slaughter of immature cattle.
It .would be a misfortune both to the
farmers and tc tho nation to increase
or even to continue the overslaughter
of meat animals that has occurred in
recent years..
The European war cannot really
benefit the farmers ot the United
States. Small groups of producers
here and there may profit by lt, but
when the actual results of the great
upheaval begin to make themselves
felt, the farming population as
whole must face a diminished market
and lower prices.-The Youth's Com

The year 1913 waa described as a
prolific ono In all branches of South
Carolina industry. Manufacturing in
the ?tate is advancing In close rela
tion with the farming industry in the
race for supremacy. The value of the
manufactured products of all indus
tries in 1913 was $141,157,302, accord
ing to figures furnished by tho state
department of industries, a sum lust
about equal to the value of the agri
cultural products of 1812, but about
$18,000,000 less than the 'otal value
of the agricultural products of 1913.
An actual increase of $10,573,242 in
value of manufactured products was
shown in 1913 as compared with the
manufactured records of the previous
year. Total capital invested in 1913
in manufacturing plants In this state
was $157.039,099, as compared with
$142,770,805 for the previous year, an
Increase of $14.268,896. The relative I
value of the ouptut as compared with
the increase of capital invested shows |
a healthy growth.
Working Population.
Manufacturing industries of this I
state In 1913 employed a total of 76,
326 persons, an Increase of 424 over
the total for the previous year. Ot
these, 53,542 are men, an increase of
83 ; 14,865 are women, an increase ot
5JG; 4,012 are boys under 16 years of
ugo, a decrease of 168; and 3,307 are
girls under 16 yearn of age, a decrease
of 86.
To these employes $24,406,226 was j
paid in wages, an increase of $1,309,
670 over 1912. Tho male laborers re?
calved $945,599 more than during
1912; the female laborers $298,518;
toe boys were paid in wages a total
of $991,916, an Increase bf $22,064
over tbe total for 1912, though 1601
