WHEREAS, There is general COM
plant against the present method of
weighing and selling cotton; and
whereas, it is important to make
changes of such character as will i'm
prove and equalize the advantages to
the producers IN disposing of their
cotton; and whereas, it is necessary to
repeal existing laws, and enact others
In their stead, regulating the weighing
and selling of cotton; therefore
ResoIved, That three good men, mem
bers of Cool Spring Alliance, No. 754,
be appointed by the President of said
Alliance, to circulate petition to OBJ
tain signers of twenty-one years and
over, praying the General Assembly of
North Carolina to repeal the law re,
quiring the appointment Of cotton
weighers. And that law be enacted
requiring ginners to be sworn to weigh
and brand all cotton. ginned and packed
by them. And that their weights shall
be just, and the cotton thus weighed
and branded shall be sold by said
weights.
RESOLVED, That Cool Spring Alliance,
No. 754, endorses the resolutions passed
by the National Farmers Alliance at
Meridian, Mississippi, December 8th,
1888, in regard to holding cotton, and
only putting so much on the market at
once as is actually necessary, and will
as far as possible comply with said
resolutions
ResolUed, That the members of Cool
Spring Alliance, No. 754, learn with
pleasure of the encouraging measures
adopted by the National Farmers ALI
ance in their meeting at Meridian Mis-
sissippi, and hold themselves in readi-
ness to cooperate with the brotherhood
in the maintenance of every good
work that tender to the individual and
collective advancement of the farmers
Resozved, That these be spread upon
the minutes of this Alliance, that a
copy of them be sent to The PROGRESS
I'VE FARMER with a request that they
be published.

GRAPE CULTURE-MANURING

This depends upon how you are
situated. If living near a town where
stable manure can be purchased at a
reasonable price, it should be used at
the rate Of SO one-horse loads to the
acre. This manure is perfect in itself
and should be well decomposed Forty
bushels of cotton seed may be used per
acre seed crushed or killed. If COM
posted, thirty bushels will answer.
One thousand pounds of cotton seed
meal may be used per acre, or five
hundred pounds Of bone dust. The
best natural fertilizer is the stock pea,
grown between the rows. The peanut
is the same. The young grape vines
must not be shaded with other growth.
The cotton scraper should be used.
Bar off next the vines in spring to save
hoe work When the buds begin to
swell throw the earth towards the
vines and plow out. Cultivator or
sweep may be used in after cultiva-
tion>as inclination prompts.

Resolved, That the law requiring
merchants to keep a cotton book be SO
altered as to read: That every mer-
chant or dealer buying cotton in the

regulations shall keep bulletin board

ResolVed, That our delegates to the

bly, to be enacted into laws.

EDITOR FARMER.-Dear Sir AS
we have no correspondent for our
Alliance, | hope | will not be intrud-
ing to ask space in your columns for
a few lines.
We are in hearty sympathy with all
the advanced movements of our breth
ren throughout the State and else
where, so far as we are aware, and [
take it upon myself to say that we
will give them our earnest cooperation
in all matters tending to advance the
interest of the farmer
At our meeting last Saturday we
heartily and unanimously endorsed
the resolutions of the North Carolina
Farmers State Alliance with regard
to convict labor, public officials, &c,
and we do hope that the present Gen
eral Assembly will heed the urgent
demands of the people and do some
thing for their relief. In our opinion
the voice of the people in this land we
think it will apply with equal force to
many others) is the voice of God.
We endorse The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER as our official organ, and Bro.
L. L. Polk as its editor, and hope that
our agent for the paper who was ap-
pointed at our last meeting, will be
able, ere long, to secure for it num-
Der of new subscribers. am anxious to
subscribe for The FARMER myself, and
intend to, but cannot at present; we
are in res augusta donai now. Such is
the case with many in this section,
and the same cry of hard times and
scarcity of money" is heard from al
most every community; and in conse-
quence thereof the circulation of The
FARMER for the present year will,
necessarily, fall short of what it would
have been, what it ought to be, and
what we, as farmers and friends to
their interest, desire it to be.
Respectfully, AGRIcoLA.

Col. l.. L. PoLK.-Dear Sir Il
again send you few lines from this
section. as correspondent of our ALI
ance. The increase both in members
and determination is very encourag
ing. Nearly every man who is eligible,
in reach of our Alliance, is member.
We meet twice month and look after
the good of the order with determ-
ination to succeed. Success is ours
beyond doubt, and that in the near
future, if we will only stand together
and be faithful. Zeb Vance (God
bless h1m) said not long sinceo in
speech, that the farmers were selling
their produce on the lowest market in
the world and buying their supplies
on the highest market. We know
from sad experience that this state
ment is true, and-perhaps there is no
greater need of speedy remedy than
in this case. What remedy shall we
use The shortest and most effectual
move that | can think of for relief in
this case is for every farmer in the
whole South to unite to man and
stand together like men and reduce
the supply of cotton and tobacco far
below the demand, and at the same
time increase our grain crops fifty per
cent. If we will do this we will reach
success in less time than in any other
way that can think Of Ihave never
seen anything that there was market
for that was not high priced when it
was scarce, and | have never seen a
farm on which there was plenty OF
corn that there was not good teams,
plenty of meat, milk and butter, and
if you have these things you can have
some say in the sale of your produce,
Let us try it, brethren; we cant be
worsted, anyway. A. w. ).
