There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few gears was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,

local treatment, pronounced itincura-
ble. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and there

must raise our own supplies and own
the cotton. This has been often said,
but we have not yet learned what 1t
really means. Then we must dis
tribute the sale through the twelve
months. By doing this we will avoid
the numerous go-be-tweens and get
nearer to the manufactures. We
can thus stop the forced sale We have
been making. We can avoid the an
nual glut of warehouses, railroads
and money markets. When we have
done This, we can have voice in the
price. We have practical monop-
oily Of growing this great and essen
tial crop of American cotton. We
lose all the immense advantage for
want of business methods in selling
When We get in this shape many OF
us, when we found cotton crop on
band for which We could not get a
a satisfactory price, would hold it
and quit making cotton ard give our
attention to something else until the
price was satisfactory. OF course
this means great revolution in our
methods, but that is just what we
need and must have if We are ever to
get fair prices for farm products.
What I have said about cotton is
equally true of many other crops.
The seed of the cotton is another illus
tration. Most of us sold oul seed last
season for about fourteen cents per
bushel or less. A few who held on
got twenty-five to thirty-fve cents.
All could just as we'll have gotten
twenty FIVE cents if they bad waited.
Cotton seed are worth twenty five
cents to US, they are worth over that
to the oil mill men, and why should
we sell them at fourteen cent? l
trust that the farmers will read the
above carefully and heed its meaning.

SOUND SENSE FROM Mr.. STEELE.
Solid Reasons Why RoundIap Bales
Are Worth More Than Square
Bales.

Mr.. J. 81 W Steele, Secretary of
the Texas Standard B lie Compress
Association, in letter written to the
West Times, June 80, says: Let me
say plain word to a plain people:
For the same reason that you pay more
for good coat than you would for a
ragged and sleezy one, so will the
English and German spinner pay
more for neat, dense, we'll covered
bale than he will for what is left of
an unsightly bag. which has lost half
its value by wet, waste, pilfery and
dirt"
For exactly this reason spinners
pay more for R undlap than for
square bales of any size whatever.
1t is precisely because Roundlap
bales are meat, dense, well covered"
protected against fire, moisture,
waste, theft and damage, that they
are worth more to spiDrers than an
'unsightly" square "bag which bas
lost half it's value by wet, waste, pill
fiery and dirt" 1t is precisely for
this reason, also, and because of the
savings made in the wrapping,
handling and shipment of Roundlap
bales that buyers are able to and do
pay for them a premium above the
value Of square bales sufficient to
pay the baliDg charge ard leave tie
owner substantial profit b. sides.

SELLING COTTON.

Take cotton, the most important
money producing crop We grow. We
have given more thought to this than
any other, and how does this stand?
Every body gets better pay than the
producer. The picker gets good
wages for picking; the ginner gets
good psy for ginning; the bagging
and tie men get immense profits,
furnishing the covering; the ware.
house men get good profits weighing
and storing, aud many Of them have
accumulated large fortunes in this
busiues the insurance companies
make very large money from every
cror; the sampler and street or
wagon buyers make good wages; the
railroad AID ship companies make
larger profits than on any other class
Of freight; the compress men get im-
mensely rich squeezing the badly
packed bales; the larger buyers start
in business with little or no money
and get to lie mijllonaires; bankers
get handsome proG.s, Furnishing the
cash and paying the bills; the maru
fucturers double their capital and
pay large dividends; lastly but mostly
the speculators-s vast army Ct
sharp traders and schemers who deal
in cotton in sight and out ef sight,
and gamble in options to the ruin
and hut OF thousands of honest men
often roll in wealth, when they
should be toiling in chains.
Thus We see these fifteen classes
Of men all making profits, sometimes
immense fortunes, and many others
incidentally getting a good living,
while we often sell at less than tie
cost OF production. Take manufac
tured goods and follow them back to
the consumer and the man who
grows the cotton is a very liberal
consumer, and fine almost as many
profits attached. We sell pound of
cotton for from six to eight cents
and sew en- our buttons with thread
for which we pay dollar per pouNd.
None of these people are to blame
for making what they can and do.
They are only locking cut for self
interest, but We are to blame for
selling them our cotton without first
getting a profit for ourselves.
II;wC CAN THIS BE DJNE
First We must own the cotton. We
can pever control the sale Of mort
gagged crop, or a crop made upon
