Many Cotton Farmers Are Slaves
I
(L Some w.se man has already said
that it belongs to the negro to grow
mortgaged cotton crops, and a progressive
white man to live a free and
l independent life by growing home?
supplies and using cotton only as cash
balance. No one having a reasonable-calculation
can deny the statement
that it requires the best busi*
- l '
poess tact ana extraordinary
I judgment to buy corn, meat, hay,
mules, clothing, guano and all groceries
necessary to fill the absolute
needs of the force that goes to grow
the cotton crop, and then market
* this one crop?cotton?in a business 1
way to have a reasonable profit to 1
the grower of cotton sufficient to buy
" for cash all these supplies for another
cotton crop. i
If the "all cotton crop" farmer 1
does not make clear profit enough
out of his cotton to pay cash for his
supplies for the next crop, he has
^drifted into the slave class of cotton
/growers.
In the outset, the man that buys
Everything that is necessary to grow
a crop of cotton with on credit pits
himself against the business qualifications
of his supply men, and the
treacherous "weather man," too,
which forces seven-tenths of the time
buyers into the slave or lien class of
' cotton growers.
Farmeks' Union Warehouses.
Some of our Farmers' Union peo- (
jple have been led to believe that our i *
warehouses are "no good" in protecting
cotton prices, because their.,
i net earnings have not been so good I!
J ,
! during the last season.
Well, in the sarr e light we may as |.
well say that our forts and war ves-1
1 sels are "no good," because we do j
not use them in actual battle every I
year. Yet if our Government were
to become so fanatic as to destroy
our fortifications, our navy and our 1
standing army, our nation would be
; an qasy prey for our enemies and our
imant wnnlH CO to the "bow- 11
? wows" at once. i
Destroy the Farmers' Union?our i
standing army?and our farmers' ^
warehouses?our fortifications?and .
our farmers' interest will go to the (
"bow-wows." Some of the Farmers' j
Union warehouses that have good
business men, commanding the con- i
fidence of the members, in charge, j
are making good money by handling <
heavy supplies through their own t
warehouse management. '
Some of our short-sighted merchants
protest against farmers going
into this kind of business outside of
their path between the plow handles.
but to all such inconsistent men me
farmer should object to any merchant ^
growing crops of any kind or owning '
a cow. '
To the slave cotton grower whose 1
crop is mortgaged, cotton ware- '
houses are only temporary relief.
Cotton growers that are not in posi- j
tion to hold cotton are on a parity !'
with the man that tugs at his boot
straps trying to lift himself out of 1
the mud when he expects cotton
warehouses to hold his stress cotton 1
beyond a reasonable limit. All farm- ;
ers' organizations, corn clubs and J
hog and hominy clubs and poultry!
clubs are the very best strongholds |
of%4>rops for profitable prices for
cotton as well as good educational
institutions that brighten the minds
of all that attend these meetings.
Remembbr that it is true that if a
gold coin and a silver one are car- (
ried in your pocket for some time
the rubbihg together soon makes the
silver piece look like gold?the finer ,
metal imparts its substance to
brighten the baser metal. So when
farmers rub their minds to- j
WIIVW - ?
gether, the brighter minds impart
knowledge and wisdom to those in
need of this education,which in time
shows that these co-operative movements
make a prosperous communi- 1
ty of farmers?and prosperous farm- j
ers make everything else prosperous
around them. 11
5 or 6 doses "666" will cure anyji
case of Chills and Fever. Price, 2oc !
