Association" we'll, it sounds all
right. We believe to make this
association of very great effect
every farmer should be reached,
andsto 40 this would be to have
.sub-orgalizations in every neigh
borhood. 1t should not only be a
cotton growers association, but
a farmers association in every
sense of the word. The farmers,
If joined together in an associa-
Zion, would not only be in a posi-
tion to protect themselves in the
production and sale of their cotton
crops, but in the purchase of their
fertilizers and q body of useful
advisers on the best methods of
Farming. While it may seem inn
possible, yet not impractical, that
the farmers not only of our county
but of the state should manufac-
ture their cotton and fertilizers,
let the farmers join themselves to-
gether to advise as to the best
practical plan in securing the
highest price for the sale of cotton
and the lowest price for the pur-
chase Of fertilizers. The present
price no doubt will encourage
many to cultivate large era in
cotton another year. If the pres
ent price is brought about by nat
ural condition of affairs, the farm
er is master of the situation, but
as to the truth of this, we are not
in possession of facts to prove or
disprove this to be true. Then if
the farmer is master of the situa-
ton, let him continue, and, in
stead of increasing his acreage in
COTTON, decrease it. Let he not
be carried away by "ten cent cot
ton" We don't know there may
be "nigger in the wood pile"
Anyway, if we had cotton we would
sell it before the November cleo
ton.
