Bring the Young Men to the
Front.

The letter of our esteemed cor
respondent, Worthy Master r. F.
Malone, of Capleville Grange, Tenn,
suggests subject that should have
the earnest consideration of every
Grange in the land. No more i'm
portant work can be accomplished
by the Grange than to encourage
the young farmers to engage ac-
lively in the great work of the
Order, and the old men who occupy
the leading positions should direct
their energies to this very important
duty OF drawing the young men
into the Grange and then encour-
aging them to take an active part
in all the discussions and all the en-
terprises that MAY be started under
the auspicies of the Grange. With
proper effort in this direction by the
intelligent and active members of
the working Oranges, hundreds of
thousands of young farmers could
be brought into the Grange, and
their accession would make the
Order immensely stronger and more
efficient than it ever was. 1t would
be stronger, because the work of
the Grange is now systematized,
and it has more definite objects in
view than formerly, and the modes
of securing those objects are more
practical. When a farmer joins
the Grange now, he has tolerablv
clear idea of what he wants to ac-
complish by becoming a mamber;
all that is necessary to success is for
his strength and means to be united
with that of others whose hopes
and purposes lay in the same direc-
ton, and this union can be easily
effected in the Grange. Our talent.
ed correspondent is himself young
man comparatively, and this fact
lends additional force to his ples
in behalf of the young farmers.

There is a strong and growing
sentiment among the farmers all
over the country against the corrupt
and oppressive rule of the lawyer
politician. This sentiment is find
ing strong and earnest expression at
gatherings of farmers and in letters
to Grange papers. Everywhere in.
telligent farmers are exhibiting an
impatience at the trickery resorted
to to control them, which presages
a general coming together for the
protection of their rights and inter
ests in governmental affairs, and
which will overthrow, for the time
being at least, the pernicious rule of
the political "ring"
One farmer in South Mississippi,
who is President of Democratic
club, writes us that the farmers of
his county are determined to keep
cool and quiet during the Presiden-
tial campaign, and not permit them
selves to be used as mere puppets by
the lawyer politicians and the polit-
ical press; and another farmer in a
different county asks with great
earnestness, "How can we bring out
a good and true farmer for Con
gress?"
The only way that the farmers can
secure a fair representation in legis-
lative bodies, is to keep out of the
conventions held in the towns; let
them hol3 county convention in the
country, appoint their own delegates
and nominate their own men. As
long as they go into conventions
with the town "rings," they will be
overreached. a.st
In this Congressional district, the
only aspirants to the nomination are
lawyers. Their supporters are get
ting control Of the county conven
tions, and one of them or some other
LAWYER will get the nomination. The
farmers ought TO call meetings o.
their own and hold convention:
composed entirely of farmers ano
workingmen. That is the only way
that farmers will ever be able to ge
out acceptable men of their owr
class as candidates. We think the
reform ought to commence now
and be pushed forward with the ut
most vigor. We know there ART
hundreds of farmers in every county
who are not willing to vote for ;
lawyer-politician for Congress
These ought not to be content will
merely holding back; they shoult
get together, select delegates, in
struct them to nominate farmer
and then work for his election. Thi
is the only way that the reform WI
all SO earnestly desire can ever b.
/ effected.

Vast Land speculation.
Petroleum World.

During the past few months the
Standard Oil Company has had agents
through the northwest buying lands,
principally in Minnesota, for which i'll
every instance cash has been paid.
None but the very best wheat lands
are being taken. These purchases
have already amounted to forty thou
sand acres in Minnesota alone. Two
weeks ago a man was sent quietly from
Pittsburg to superintend portion OF
this land. OF the forty thousand acres,
twenty thousand acres will be broken
up and cultivated III wheat this year.
Purchasing agents are still in the north
west, and the work of gobbling lands
continues This purchasing committee
travel in a special car, and when they
encounter tract of land that suits
them, it IS at once absorbed. Much of
this land is in shape Of land grants to
railroads 1t is the intention of the
Standard company to purchase million
acres OF the choicest wheat lands OF the
west before another year. The chances
are that thev will have this enormous
quantity inside of six months, as the
work Of buying is being carried on III
the most princely manner. 1t is said
to be the most gigantic land speculation
any country has ever known, but SO
secretly has it been carried ON that
nobody outside of the giant oil monop-
bolv knew of it until forty thousand
acres had been gobbled up. These
enormous purchases are being made
! from the profits of the Standards OIL
business, a large percentage of which
comes in the shape of rebates from
railroads. None of the capital stock OF
the company IS being tied up IN this
land grab. Discussing the big specu-
Iation. a prominent railroad man says:
In this railroad managers CAP see some
of the results of permitting corporations
like the Standard oil company to exact
drawbacks and rebates on shipments
Aside from rebates on freights, a large
portion of the Standards profits comes
from their manipulation of the OIL mar
kets. These are but two OF the sources
whence the monopoly can draw for the
capital they are now invest ng 10 these
western lands. A corporation that can
increase its assets to twenty-five m'lllon
dollars III ten years on capital of one
hundred thousand dollars; control
legislatures and the three great hunk
lines of the country, is probably not
pressed for funds. The opinion pre-
walls among those who are cognlzant OF
this move of the Standard that the
object is to obtain control of the wheat
market. They will be large producers
of wheat, and, if necessary, large BUY
| ers as we'll. 1t is thought that their
power over the railroads, as shown Id
the transportation of oil, will epable the
Standard to say to the world just no"
much it shall pay for its daily bread'

Cotton Worms.

Mr.. E. 2. Whitfield writes as fol
lows to the Colorado Citizen
Throughout the southern counties
of Texas the cotton worm is now
the chief topic of discussion:
"The writer PROPOSES briefly to
give his experience last season with
the cotton worm. ] poisoned my
cotton about the time we expected
the cotton miller to make her ap-
pearance by dusting, from cotton
seive, one pound pure paris green,
two pounds we'll pulverized rosin,
and eighteen pounds of good flour
to two acres. Then again, after the
first picking, plowed my cotton and
poisoned again as before. / claim
that the leaf need not be damp with
dew or otherwise, hehee apply the
poison whenever the wind is suf1i-
GENTLY lulled, even at midday. !
succeeded in keeping the worm en-
tirely off my cotton, and it matured
till frost, claim that all animal
life is sustained by some kind of
nourishment, and that if tie miller
| feeds off the poisoned plant she
dies, else her instinct warns her not
to deposit her eggs there. At all
events, the worm did not come"
Prof Riley, who is probably the
best authority on the subject of
cotton worms, maintains that the
principal object should be to hasten
maturity so that a portion of the
crop shall be beyond the reach of
harm from tine more disastrous July
! and August broods. Aside from
careful and frequent cultivation,
which, moreover, has a tendency tC
disturb and knock of the worms
! early planting in this connection is
to be urged, tECugh y of course it has
its drawbacks in exceptional seasons
in the risk of late frosts. The use
of early maturing varieties and cot
ton seed obtained'from more north
ern regions will also help to defeat
! the enemy, while it has long beer
known that some varieties are les,
subject to attack than others, the
long staple being much more in
jured, for instance, than the shor
staple when planted side by side.
/ Topping the cotton, while i
| would have very little effect in the
early part of the season, may bt
employed to good advantage later
in cases where desperate means ano
the loss Of the top crop are war
ranted. The frequent exemption o
small fields that are separated from
larger ones or surrounded by som,
other crop is noticeable and sug
gestive in this connection, while i
will always be well to avoid plant
ing cotton in those spots wher'
worms have been known to first re
appear year after year. Diversified
agriculture, and the rotation of crop
on the same field are most desirabl
in this connection. nsss
DR.. Phares has suggested that b,
systematically deferring the plant
ing of cotton till the end of May
or until all the alternating moth
had perished without finding foo
for their issue, and the plantin,
some early maturing variety, w
might entirely prevent the injurie
, of the wort1Er This would be a
excellent suggestion, could tn
planter know beforehand that
| would be necessary, and were ther
not decided advantages, as just Sc
forth, in getting early maturity

be stirred just as shallow as one
desires. The wing, which runs next
to the cotton, can be set to throw
much or little dirt, as is done with
that of the sweep. 1t is needless to

all old grass now. Every expert

The Grange is not the enemy of

the members create capital. What
the Order opposes is those legal
enactments and customs in barter
which enable men who produce
