By Peter Radford Lecturer National larmers' Union. King Cotton has suffered more from the Nturopean war than any other ag ricultural product on the American continent. The shells of the belliger ents have bursted over his throne, frightening his subjects and shatter ing his markets, and, panic-stricken, the nation cries out "God save the king!" People from every walk of life have contributed their mite toward rescue work. Society has danced before the king; milady has decreed that the family wardrobe shall contain only cotton goods; the press has plead with the public to "buy a bale"; bankers have been formulating hold. ing plans; congrees and legislative -bodies have deliberated over relief measures; statesmen and writers have grown eloquent expounding the inalienable rights of "His Majesty" and presenting schemes for preserv ing the financial integrity of the stricken staple. but the sword of Eu rope has proved mightier than the pen of America in fixing value upon this product of the sunny south. Prices have been bayoneted, values riddled and markets decimated by the battling hosts of the eastern hemisphere until the American farmer has suffered a war loss of $400,000,000, and a bale of cotton brave enough to enter a European Dort must pay a ransom of half Its value or go to prison until the war-Is over. Hope of the Future Lies In Co-opera tion. The Farmers' Union, through the column of the press, wants to thank the American people for the friend ship, sympathy and assistance given the cotton farmers in the hour of dis tress and to direct attention to co operative methods necessary to per manently assist the marketing of all farm products. rhe present emergency presents as grave a situation as ever confronted the American farmer and from the viewpoint of the producer, would seem to justify extraordinary relief inas tires, even to the point of bending the constitution and straining business rules in order to lift a portion of the burden off the backs of the farmer, for unless something is (lone to cheek the invasion of the war forces tipoui the cotton fields, the pathway of the 10:uropean Pistilence oi this cont inent will be strewn with mortgaged homes and famine and poverty will stalk over the southland. filling the highwmavs of industry with refugees and the bank ruptcy court with Drisoners. All enlamtles teach (s lessons and the present crisis serves to iltumminate the frailties of our marketing meth ods an(1 the weakness of our credit system, and out of the financial an. guish and travail of the cotton farmer will come a volume of disetission anid ai taSs of sliggestions and [[fially a solution ot tis, the biggest problem ini the economic life or Americ-n, if, indeed, we have not already aid the foundatoon for at least temp~orar-y re lief. More Pharaohs Needed in Agriculture. i'arm products have no crediit and perhaps can never have on a perma nent and satisfactory basis unless we build warehouses, cold storage pilants, elevators, etc., for without storage and credit facilities, the south is corn pelled to dump its crop on the market a-t harvest time. 'rho Farmers' Unions in the cotton producing states have for the past' ten years porsistently ad vocated the construction of storage facilities. We have built during this period 2,000 warehouses with a ca pacity of approximately 4,000,000 bales and looking backward the results would seem encouraging, but looking forward, we are able to house less than one-third of the crop and ware houses without a credit system lose 90 per cent of their usefulness: The problem is a gigantic one--too great for the farmer to solve unaided. He must have the assistance of thme bank er, the merchant and the government. In prodluction we have reached the high water mark of perfection in the wvorld's history, but our marketing methods are most pr-imitive. In the (lawn of history we find agriculture plowIng with a -for-ked stick but with a system of warehouses under govern mental supervision that made the vNgyptians the marvel of civilization, for who has not admired thme vision of Joseph andi ap~plaudedl the wisdom of Pharaoh for storing the surplus until demnded by the consumer10, but in thmis ageC we halve too manyii Josephs 'u hto drea m andi not enough - Pharaohs Nick llendacheit.

Secretary Breedin Discus ses the Cause and Outlines the Progran, The Advertiser has received the fol lowing for iublication: Columbia, Dec. 5 ,191.1. IEditor The Advertiser: S'om0 weeks ago there was Issued a general Invitation to Prohibitionists to attend a conferelce in Collumia to discuss the wisdom or a pIetition to the General Assembly for a referen dtini to the Voters next September so that In an off-year the people might discuss and determin e whether there shouIld be State-Wide prolhibition. The Coiference was held in Columbia on the 22nd of October and gen tleien from all sections of the State tinani mously agreed that the State was ready for the question and that it would be both democratic aid more binding if the matter were subtitted to the people by the (leneral Assem bly during the suimmer of 1915 wlen there will be no political canimpaign In progress and 110 candidate to cont fuso the single issue.

Our people have heard much on the liquor question; but questions like (his are never settled well as long as they are regarded as being political. rhe liquor question is not a political question, but a great social question of prime inlortance, having to do with the health, happiness and efficlency of our people as individuals, and the lrosl)erity and progress of our peo )1e when brought together as a con munity. All of us are profoundly concerned about the ravages of disease and we heartily join in the fight on tiberculc sis; but liquor and the liquor habit are a far greater and more grievous evil to the home and a most costly menace to the State. During this tine of money stringen cy the sale of liquor dontinues, though the purchaser may pay nothing on his debts; in many instances there is be ing more spent for 11(11101 inl a coim inmunity than is beling slient In tIhle stores.
