Lee F'leishman, owner of the Duran

morning after a weeks visit to his

gives glowing accounts of the pros

Huntington interests are about to sell
the iron mines and works at Durango
to an eastern company" he said. land
the price they have offered is SIS ,000.-
900. The new company has already
invested heavily in real estate there
and will put up one of the largest roll

take the mines. The iron is inexhaus-
tible and it is said will supply the
world and have plenty left The iron
is of the best quality and easily taken
out as the whole mountain is iron.
There are many other small factories
going I'D there also which will make
Durango all right. A cigarette fac

it one of the largest in the republic.

Farmers Should Organise.

Some men are SO endowed that
they can rise to enminence in their
calling unaided; but such men are
like angels in Chicago-very scarce.
They are so few that they may be dis
regarded in what we are about to say,
viz: That men in every calling
should help each other. This can not
be Systematically done without or
ganization. But the field is too broad.
Let us confine our remarks to the
agricultural industries. Horsemen,
cattlemen, hogmen, sheepmen. poul-
trymen, beemen. fruit-growers, truck
growers, florists, ETC., are all organ
lied, and all Of these branches have
profted and prospered by it. The
only agricultural branch that oper-
"every man for himself, and the ID
take the hindmost," is that composed
Of general farmers, those who have
adopted no speciality. Al . result,
these are the least prosperous Of all.
An agricultural society that will
reach the mudsills of the superstruc-
ture is what is needed. But there can
be no organization among people who
don't see the need Of it. That is our
reason for calling attention to the
subject occasionally-to cause them
to see the need of it. The next thing
is to have in the community a man or
men who will take hold of the matter
and work it up; urge the backward to
come forward; take . leading part,
and never let up until success crowns
the effort. This can be done in every
agricultural precinct where ono man
can be found who realizes the inn
p0rtance Of the movement. We don't
mean that farmers should organize
for the purpose of reforming the
world, but for the purpose of inform
ing themselves-to better their condi-
ton by the study and discussion of
subjects connected with farming

FARMER PLANTER.
Geatly - the work fer The
Coming season.

This is most important feature 0,
successful farming. Perhaps more
men fail to make money farming on
account of carelessness here than any.
where else. A crop well planned il apt
to pay. One badly planned or mis-.
planned can never pay. II you plan,
the wrong crop you will almost Ger
tainly fail. If you plant the right crop
you can hardly fail At all. The
southern farmer ought to have learn
ed this long ago. but he has not learn.
ed it well.
He plants crops of running water
and scratch plowing and gathers crops
OF bald hills and gullies. He plants
too much cotton and gathers empty
cribs and high provision accounts.
He should plant greater diversity.
More provisions and less cotton.
The fact that the two past crops
were short and the price is now high
is not due 10 wise planning on our
part. We planted enogh cotton to
make $4,000, 600 each year. But Provi-
dence came to our rescue and cut the
yields shot. The lesson is plain. Will
we learn it? Win we profit by it? Or
will we 90 blindly on and risk the
consequences?
just here we are facing . crisis.
The present prosperity is widespread
and may be made permanent or it
may be brought to a sudden collapse.
If we plant too largely Of cotton, if
Providence favors us with good sea-
sons and we make q very large crop,
the consequences will be far reaching
and fearful. The brakes would be put
on SO suddenly that the whole train
would be in danger of being ditched.
An enroumous yield and a return to
low prices would be calamity. Bet
ter put on the brakes now. Plan to
plant large crops of all sorts of provi-
sions and small area of cotton. Al
ready the price Of cotton is being held
down by the claim that the farmers
are buying more mules and guano
than usual. Now if these are followed
by an increased acreage in cotton the
effect will be to lower the price even
in advance of the maturity Of the
crop.
This is not idle speculation. II is
already at work. The southern cot
ton manufacturers are most of them
short of cotton to run on through
the year. This would help to raise the
price. But instead of this they have
decided to run a hand-to-mouth pol
icy through The summer, because they
believe we are going to plant an in
creased area of cotton. This they ar
que will enable them to buy cotton
cheap next fall, and so they will wait.
Now If we plant . smaller area in
cotton the effect will be wonderful.
First. it will put up the present price
to where it ought to be, - cents. The
second effect will be high price for
the crop when gathered.
This third effect will be the great |
est era of prosperity ever enjoyed by
the south. We hope every reader will
think. talk and act along this line. |

Caah Capital.

The natural inclination is to become
m extensive landowner. Men like to
own large farms. There is tendency
to measure others income by their
acreage. It results that very many
farmers are lamd-poor. They do not
have loose cash capital in an amount
that is proportionate to their acreage,
and are hampered in their efforts to
make farming pay. 1t takes money to
make money. When one knows just
what in needed tc secure the best re-
turns from his investment in land he
must have sufficient capital to put his
plans into force, or else secure some
thing less than the best returns. On
all sides farmers say, II am sure this
and that should be done, but haven't
the money" Delay through lack Of
capital and the employment Of the
credit system keep thousands from
winning, though they work very hard.
Fewer acres and more cash capital
would mean release from a condition
too nearly approaching slavery

II il an old and trite saying that
very few manufacturing concerns
could stand the same rate of waste
and loss that most farmers stand. Our
watch of details is not good. We
don't get around" to many things
until too late. The ditch left un-
opened, the rotted fence-posts not re-
placed. the leak in the roof not re-
paired, the nlcanest Of weeds not
killed before seeding, the lost bolt
in an implement not replaced, the
building not painted till the wood il
injured, the hundred things we do too
late for best results or leave entirely
undone-thesc will usually be fewer
in number on a small farm, or should
be, unless we have ability to employ
others freely. At any rate, the man
who is now rushed on big farm and
neglects these details could do better
