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.

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

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.

When your friends come to you, if
you are not ashamed of it, tell him

go to a party, steal some of the good

you, come in and let ns see your

has died, don't be bashfui about it;

when it is not honesty for policy's

Occasional headache, belching,
bad ta6te in the mouth, lack of ap- j
petite and slight nervousness are e
systoms of indigestion which, when
allowed to go uncared for, will develop
into a case of dyspepsia that s
will take a long time to get rid of. j
Don't neglect your stomach. At c
the first indication of trouble take a
something that will help it along in
its work of digesting the food that
you eat. Kodol for indigestion and
