Taking a Hand in a Losing Game. That is the very thing most all ?men do who .undertake to raise cotbuy everything they need with 1 their cotton money. Now, if every , man of the large majority of growers of cotton were a good business man and belonged to a good business organisation nun 3UUH.KUV i?w>.. gence and capital to protect the inV terest of cotton growers, then the P prospects of this specialty would be r better. But the situation is that the larger per cent of cotton is produced by negroes and enslaved white people, who are subjected t<? all manner of schemes and shrewd transactions of the well-taained and organized cotton handling and cotton trading element, who by concert of action can control the price of this stress cotton until it is all out of the hands of the producer, at prices to suit the trad' ers and consumers of cotton irrespective of profits or cost of production to the grower of the staple. This stress cotton, which composes at times the larger part of the crop j ?worth billions?you may say,is, at1 the beginning of the season, at least, absolutely in the hands of the ignorant class of producers and cotton bears. And all that class of cotton growers who don't grow food crops! are forced to take' prices made by the reckless elemer t io order to sat-i isfy hunger. The Independent Farmer. How beautiful the thought, how pleasant the anticipation, how glowinjg are the hospitable invitations of * this glorious Southland of ours to come and be an independent farmer! What a commentary upon the intelligence, what a reflection upon our general character to live in a land j "flowing with milk and honey" and i then buying the milk and the honey, too! Our Stateand national farm dem-. onstration men have proven by reputable witness that corn has been I grown at a cost of from 15 to 35 cents per bushel and we buy millions bushels at 75 cents to $1.00 per Pkhel. Our farm demonstration workers , ?and individuals, too?have proven that we can produce pork at a cost )f 3 to 6 cents per pound, and milions of dollars are spent every year :or pork at 12l to 20 cents per J ?? J Jo onv qr. not. We should not "cuss out" the 1 New York cotton exchange for something we did ourselves: oj- vilify the merchants for making hip profits on food stuff that we can grow at home and keep this bijr profit at home for our own benefit. Be an independent farmer or quit. . i GOOD NEWS 1 Many Kingstree Readers Have Heard It and Profited Thereby. } "Good news travels fast," and the $ thousands of bad back sufferers in Kingstree are glad to learn that prompt relief is within their reach.

WU11U, tuiu iiicic 10 ovaivvij out ?4- i icle of food crops that we buy but that it can be grown at home with i equal profit. Why this deplorable state of affairs among our "all-cotton farm- , ers"? At first thought one would naturally' conclude that our experimenters are the biggest set of liars on earth or our "all-cotton farmers" are the biggest set of fools on earth ' ?one or the other. But neither of j these conclusions is a correct solution of the problem. The plain facts are that many all-cotton farmers are 1 aware of these truths, but they are so firmly chained down to a system ( and habit of growing cotton crops on < credit that they have not the man.tiood or knowledge how to break the prison chains of the credit and cot, ton king and be free men by growing their own supplies at home. Farmers' Educational and Co-op.erative Union is the name of our only State-wide farmers' oiganiza?n, and the educational feature comes first in our efforts, for the reason that if we can teach our "allcotton" farmers how to break loose these prison chains of growing stress or credit cotton by proper rotation fho virTnrv for Drofitable U1 UU|M, H'V - - ^ , prices for cotton and the independent farmer has been won. ' Now is your time to make a break for freedom by planning to grow a supply of every food crop that your land will produce. Join the Farmers' Union and feel good- Our Farmers' .Union men have learned that we cannot grow an over-supply of cotton and bulldoze the world into taking j the crop off our hands at our price, j whether the consumer needs it or i ; Escaped with His Life.
