Let Us Help Each Other.

Editor Cotton Plant;
In this day of such wonderful
mental and industrial activities
we should avail ourselves, to the
utmost, Of every means within
our reach of acquirir. such knowl-
edge as will promote success in
our chosen vocation. Every
enterprise, except agriculture,
avails itself of the strength and
power which compact organiza-
ton gives. Scarcely week
passes without the announcement
of new combines in the various
departments OF human industry.
In union there is strength.
The thousands of little springs,
the sources from which the waters
begin their return to the ocean,
are feeble and powerless, bGt
when they have united into one
great stream they acquire irresis.
table power. A single farmer,
isolated as he must be from the
nature of his business, can exert
but little influence. He must
fight his battles with great dis.
advantage, but when he becomes
a member of local organization
his influence and power is mul-
tplied by the number of mem.
bers united with him. If these
local organizations unite with a
thousand others to form a State
association, the influence of the
local organization is .magnified
one thousand fold and the

where he had gone to cut wood.
He had been at work and evident

leaned his axe, and walked off
short distance, where he fell and
