FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.
There was time when supply and demand
. governed the price OF cotton ana otnel
y commodities, but that good old time has long
4 since passed and 1t now makes but little dli
8 terence whether much or little Is raised as
Z the price Is controlled by com mblnatlons on
the part Of SPECTATORS, or monled men who
& not only with great accuracy map OUT the
: number of acres that will be planted, anu the
number of bales that will be made, but &C.
Il tuaily place their own price upon tne entire
y crop, making the farmers mere hlrellngs lor
them, as they have no Sontr0l over vel, thef tSat
10 keeping the farming class down, making
them poorer and poorer each year. These
rnonted combinations nave them IN Lneir u
I In their. hands when they invariably raise
+ the price which pecuniaIt 1s no good to the
X FARMER, but only o "modest pointer" to get
them to plantlanother big crop" which they
Z of course will do. The Southern farmer
oue bit to be and can be, II he will, the most
{ Independent OF all men. They have that ad.
4 vantage in climate that makes It imposslto,iee e
for any part OF the world to compete with VIII
them In raising cotton, hence II may be sald
i that "the great South shall olothe the worla;
/ Western farmers are organizing, and tbs
s said that had 1t not been for the Cotton
4 Grawers Protective Association" hoidlng
( their cotton, this crop would have sold for
nboute 6 cents Now II through THIS orgsnizas,
\ from hfty TO one hundred millions OF dollars,
: now much could be saved II the malorlty o.
Z them would organizef Combination ana
I coal, salt, sugar, coffee and all articles OF
y trade, then why should the farmers longer oe
= satished to have these combinations price
and bny their products, when oy org ofgahhlIaa- hISa-
b meas and regain much Of their lost fortune !
/, This Is q day OF organization then let tne
farmers of the Southland organize ana
control their own business as nearly all otn,
/. or classes do throughout the world all. OF
which are directly against the interest OF lne
farmers. .sE..
