Stribling* Pendleton ,8. C. nil-?- n * TT T? 1018 f armers uuiuu jourruu was established for the purpose of meeting ail false or deceptive newspaper articles sent ont through the press of the South by cotton exchanges and others for the express purpose of advancing the interest of buyers and speculators by deceiving cotton growers. Our efforts in this department are to protect the interest of the farmer in a general way, by sending out a letter each week to all county and other newspapers that will make arrangements with the farmers of their sections for this letter, which will be mailed out every Saturday and released to the press on Tuesday. . * I Parsers' Union Cotton Letter . Fifteen ceuts is the miuimum for middling co'ton beginning the first of September. One-quarter of a cent per pound will be added monthij Inland long staple will run from | 42 cts for No. 1, to 27 for No. 4.i with an average of 12 a cent per pound monthly. Since the Farmers' union and the Cotton association prices are the same for both lint and cottou seed, and withal many merchants and others are now taking in and holding cot. ton for the minimum price of 15 cts, this grand concert of action fyr the common good, the business element of tne whole South accepts the de c1810q ana expresses do donbt tnat; the minimum be reached at an early date, notwithstanding the gall displayed by the Sayannah potton buyers in their statement that they would get the cotton for 13 cts. The tug of gall and wrong against grit and right is on to a finish and it behooves every man in the South to I stand up for the farmer, for all realize that what is to the advantage of the farmer redounds to the welfare of the whole South. i If cotton farmers were not organized and in the field protecting theii interest, today cotton would be sell-' ing for 8 cents or less. Show your manhood, boys, and stand up for one another. No! the Farmers' union cannot prevent some cotton farmers from acting the fool aud letting their cotton go at a price below the minimum when they can help it But all loyal, conservati ve business farmers know that the minimum of 15 cts will be much easier reach-' ed this year than any minimum set before. We are in possession of facts and data to prove that 15 cts will not cover the actual cost of production to a considerable territory in cotton in most all the States west of the Mississippi and also a lot of sections in all the States east of the Mississippi. In addition to reports from local unions all over the cotton belt, the committee on minimum prices had the counsel of a large number of canvassers who had canvassed all the cotton States. These canvassers are among our best practical farmers and are not the kind of men that conld J" * I? PECIA I FALL asure in inviting :ALL A you that we have tF V. flUVPOTIIft ai U V JUVilUilM UfJ afford to fool or deceive themselve and friends. I Pay Your Debts Through the Warehouses. Instead of one thousand warehoua es as we have stated before, the Farmers' union authorities on this subject now make the statement that the Farmers' union now owns anil operates more than two thousand warehouses, and building more. Now tnese warehouses are put up to take care of the cotton by injuring it from loss from both fire and the weather by men who are able to hold their cotton, as well as to furnish a way by which those that are in debt may store their cotton and draw eighty per cent of its current and noxj fVioir (loKfa Wltlmtlt yi 1W ouu vavu www ** * v placing their cotton on the market at forced sale at ruinous prices to | all owners of cotton. The Farmers' ' union discourages the system of growing mortgaged cotton crops, and will not stand for the mean practice of some who store their cotton at the expense of their creditors after debts are due. No! you cannot ride the Farmers' union horse over miry roads like that; you can. not be a good Farmers' union man and not pay your bills when due if you can possibly can do so. Another cause tor a short crop ' that is likely to deceive the people is thnt a verv larze area of cotton has I J O - i been replanted two or more times aDd i hat the seed dsed for this replanting was generally very poor seed from the premature last pickings, which cau never make a fall ci op. TTiere is more late, stalky, thinly fruited, shanky, deceptive looking replanted cotton in the cotton States than was ever known before. No doubt about this prediction that if we have an early killing frost, cotton will go to 29 cts in 24 hours afterwards. The class of men that met at Little Rock to name minimum prices for the South's great money crop, cotton; were not a body of grafters met to name prices on other people's products, but they were conservative, reasonable and right thinking men from the ranks of the farmers who grow the products they price. These farmers who met at Little Rock were a selection from that easy going class qf men?farmers? that have never asked for much of this world's goods and of coarse never got much of this world's goods, though they dig it out of tho ground. About Cotton Schools. The committee on education at the national convention of the Farmers' nnion recommended the teaching of a special course on grading and classifying cottou at all the State agricultural schools in the South. Clemson Agricultural College at Clemson College, S. C., has just established a special course in its textile department for the purpose of teaching the classidcation and grading of cotton and may also add to this branch warehouse book keeping. Any other information on this subject may be had by addressing Prof. Doggett, Textile Department, Clemson College, S. C. All you cotton growers that have been kicking about being robbed by the arbitrary'grading of buyers, are now up against a good proposition to protect your interest in this matter and you should now stand up with this cotton school plan or hush up. % 0 lL ANN AND - ' % the people of I ND Wll ie latest styles and id SHOES, Mil 9 Consumption is less d m Certain relief and ui 9 will result front the folio 6 Hope, rest, fresh ah V Emulsion.
