At a fourth of July dinner given by! the American Chamber of Commerce in Paris to the members of the Amer? ican Commission on Agricultural Co? operation. Dr. Clarence J. Owens, Di? rector General, stressed the need of < (? Operation* among farmers. "The experiment of democracy has been carried far enough to establish thes. facts, he said, that for the develop? ment of strength, self-reliance, and resourcefulness within the individual, there is no other form of govern? ment comparable with our own. But, secondly, that democracy demands not only a high standard of citizen? ship, but a poise and balance among the social forces of the republic, be? tween the radical and the conserva? tive. I speak In favor of the sane conservative, the imckbone of the na? tion, of the American fnrmer. The movement In which this com? mission is engaged seeks added strength for our farmers. They are strong, but there have come changes in the organisation of civilization to? day which have strengthened labor, but which our farmers have not adopted. It is the principle of co? operation. Among capitalists it is called com? bination. Among laoorers unionism. For the farmers we speak of it as co? operation. It is the same thing in principle?the welding together ot weaker units for the creation of a stronger whole. The wheelwright and the weaver have been eliminated. The laboring man has Increased his in? dividualism, as he has bettered hia economic situation. But he uses the force of that individualism to but? tress his organization. He has met combination with unionism. Now the farmers Tsave not yet learned this les? son of co-operation. Today within our democracy we have the radical elements) of the urban population rapidly gaining in strength through organization while rvatlve rural forces remain le hol? low form of an am uallsm that is not indlvldu ? meas? ure it by initiative . is only disorganisation. The problem la a i ? to bet? ter the farmers fin increase their control over ting of their*crops, and ? mi their position as buyer 'to weld the farmers of o tr Into a coalesced force." through "co-opera? tion and combination, which then must increase their power as a so? cial force within the democracy." In the State of South Carolina, the Situation Is not acute as It is in other sections where economic differences between elements ot the population arc well marked and intense. To stress unduly class consciousness is to bring about an unhealthy state 'ot affairs, Yet each element must know Itself, Its strength, its potential independence and its necessary de? pendence. By co-operation among farmers, however, arid between this group of workers, on the one hand, and other elements of our life, on the other hand, the best results will accrue to the State. No common? wealth Is more ideally placed for a balance to be brought about and maintained among its citizens. The co-ordination of all forces within the State for the benefit of all. is the purpose of the Conference for the Common Good, to be held in Co? lumbia, August 6?7th, after which the movement will extend to the va? rious counties, which will also hold I conferences. In the conference, the j needs of the farmers will be given earnest consideration, In an Interest? ing program. Among the speakers1 will be Clarence Poe, Editor of the Progressive Farmer; A. F. Lever, Chairman of the U. S. House Commit? tee on Agriculture; W. W. Long, State Director of Farm Demonstration Work; W. It. Meadows, government Cotton Technologist, A. P. Bourland, and other public minded men of local and national reputation. For this Conference, the rairoads are offering reduced rates. Are-There Any Reasons? Mr. Editor: I have read in your columns a number of articles from those who oppose the establishment of the dis? pensary ih Sumter, giving many rea? son why it should not be done. These articles -were all signed by the writers; Now, so far, I have not seen an ar? ticle giving reasons why we should have the7dispensary. Is there a man; In Sumter who will give such reasons^ and sign his name to them? Let us hear at once. M. B. Handle. , Bagging and Ties HIS is a subject that is most interesting to every South? ern Farmer. There are some things he may be able to get along without, but if he raises cotton he must have Bagging and Ties, and from present prospects a good deal will be needed to wrap the fleecy staple, as the outlook for the growing crop is very encouraging. We have bought quite freely, as is our custom, realizing from past experience that there is nothing to be gained by waiting, and it is our candied opinion that the Farmer who places his order now will save money by doing so. You may charge us with being too premature, and say you don't want to buy Bagging and Ties until you have a bet? ter idea what your crop is going to do, in that case you can place an order for a portion of your requirements and await results. We will accept your order now for shipment im August, so you will have your goods on hand when you need tfllfei. pay? able October 1st, subject to 7 per cent, per annum discount for anticipation. Our offerings consist of New 2 and 3 lb. Sugar Sack Bagging, and all grades of Jute. We handle only New Arrow Ties. Place your orders early and save money. O'Donnell 6 Company.
