Figure out the difference between 10-2 and lf>-2 cents per pound mi your cotton and then you can realize the value of co-operation and a slack twisted, loose, single handed fight for a square deal. We now know of some good firm Farmer's Union men that stood out through the thick of the fight on prices for cotton last season that sav? ed from $15 on short staple cotton to $26 on long staple cotton per bale and there are better prospects^ this year for a gain of $22 per bale on short cotton thnn there was for $15 for the same cotton last year. For the lack of business methods, forethought and their share of ener? gy, pluck and grit, many easy going, childish farmers that could do bet? ter, ar?? now rushing over each other to get their cotton off at the speculat? ors' prices Instead of storing this cot? ton until the demand from the mills calls for It and will take it for our minimum prices. This foolish rush of the lambs to the slaughter pen is the astounding spectacle of the cotton market at present. ?These cotton letters put out in our Southern newspapers by hears are there to deceive cotton growers! Don't you know It? It is said that these cotton ex? changes don't mind paying some newspaper men to publish their stuff, whether this Is true or r.ot wo don't know, but this much we do know, that some papers that puMIsh these cotion exchange letters r? gularly do not care to publish our Farmers? Un oln citton letters that come direct from the cotton fields with'truth In them. t I here make the charge that any Southern newspaper that makes a business of publishing bearish cotton exchange letters and refuses to pub? lish cotton letters from the farmers' organisations In reply to them are In the employment of those that they must know are robbing the South of her honest profits on her farm .pro? ducts, which Is sure to redound to the Injury 6f the South's prosperity. Remember crop reports are usually gotten up by straining points by those In the employ of buyers. The cotton crop outlook has been reduced very materially aince cotton prices were set at 15 cents and the price of seed at $20 per ton. Coat of production and a reasonable profit for the producer IS the rule that governs prices for other products, why not this same rule apply to the products of the farm? No! the farmer has not received his full share of the profits, on his pro? ducts, the truth of this is in the vast accumulations of wealth of those that buy the faxmers' products and sell farm supplies to the farmer, whilst the farmer usually demands a very small pittance for his share and he of course gets no? more than he asks for. No one Is to blame for this state of affairs but tho farmer. Organize and demand a (square deal through on organized effort and then you will get your rights and not until #Tien. It Is nothing but the natural trend of things, for little things to give way to big things, or for the un-organlzed p?ople to give way to organized, or for an educated, systematized class of business farmers to be able to protect their Interests against the graft and greed of a few scoundrels that call themselves financers. It is mere rot for any men to go about over the country talking a lot of hot air about the down-trodden farmer's helpless condition and then sneak off home like a cowardly cur and refuse to "Jine in" with hi neighbors t ? inaugurate a manly movement to protect the Interest of his wife an 1 children against these organized self-Installed toll-gate keep? ers that obstruct the roads of free trade and swipe an unjust rake off of farm products and supplies both go? ing and coming . Education and co? operation along the business side of farming is the only cure for this evil. f Come out boys and Join the Farm era* Union and line up with the crowd and help take care of yourselves. ? About the only difference In this le? gal robbery business by trusts and others, and the one that goes after your chickena at night, is that the le? gal robbers are a bold set of smart big day light thieves and scoundrels, while the other may be only one lone? ly, hungry, Ignorant midnight thief. Some big rich fellows that make large contributions for public Institu? tions remind one of a slick old shop? keeper who made a practice of tak? ing out a piece of candy after it was weighed out on the scales and gave It to the customer out of the customer's own candy, and he never failed to win the children over, which made the old chap the most popular candy man among the children of the town. We have lots of grown up children on the farms that are fooled OH this same plan in many other things. Don't think that we are quarreling ?it ihe men thai do these dirty stunts for money, for it i-< you dull, Ignorant , >r selfish unorganised farmers tii;i* ' ire reaponslbe for this condition ol ' i(fairs. j PAR MI NO. Hi The man that grows cotton and i,N ..." i ? bup everything he needs t>? feed his stock upon is not a fair far- \ mer, he is a cotton grower that Is at I the mercy of a lot of speculators on | both sides of his business. The man that wants to g?d in line with the independent farmers move? ment had bettr get at it now by putting in a large crop of small grain and head off the heavy feed bills for nt'xt year's crop. About time to pitch next year's cotton crop, cotton, we. think, will be fetching over 15 cents, this price no doubt will cause many, cottontots to get at the old game again trying to get rich growing cotton at the other fellow's price and buying the stuff to make the cotton with also at the other fellow's prices. Now is the timeHo make a break for your free? dom by preparing some of your best lands for next year's corn crop by deep ploughing. In most clay subsoil or alluvial lands it is not possible to plough this land too deep. Tou have some such lands that would double its yield by ploughing 18 inches deep this fall. Letter to G. R.
