innate demands of the trade at a pay
ing price to the growers. And at
the same time we must put in other
crops sufficiently large to meet our
home requirements. The large crop
of corn that has been made in the
South this year is a great blessing
to her and will fortify our farmers
in their efforts to command better
prices for cotton. But just as long
as we see corn or hay coming into
our markets from other States we
may know we can proftably put more
land in such crops here at home. Let
the farmers all over the South plant
abundantly for home supplies, filling
our towns and cities with their own
make of corn, hay, beef, pork, etc.,
to the exclusion of Western prod
ucts, and that will sufficiently reduce
the acreage in cotton to do away
with the wall of low prices that are
now prevailing. But to accomplish
this desired end will require concert
of action among the farmers, and
the only way to secure that is
through the medium of organization,
with cline upon line and precept up
ON precent." 1t was with this idea
in view that / called the various
township, county, and State meetings
for all our cotton growing counties.
The next of these meetings will be
the township meetings which are
called to meet at the usual meeting
place in each township, December
81, at 2 o'clock. 1t is in the township
where the real organization must
start. The committee to be appoint
ed at the county mass-meeting is ex-
pected to see every cotton grower in
the township and try to have him out
at that meeting. Every reader of
this notice is expected to give pub
Lefty to the different meetings and
encourage the people to attend
them. Hundreds of farmers will
never see this notice, so it will be
necessary for those who do read it
to give it all the publicity possible.
At the township meeting elect a
permanent chairman or president, a
secretary and an executive commit
tee of five active farmers who are in
full sympathy with the movement. It
will be the duty of this executive
committee to see every cotton farmer
in the township and try to get him
to Identify himself with the move
ment. 1t is very necessary to have
every farmer in line so we may stand
together as one man. At the town
ship meeting elect five delegates to
attend the county meeting which
will be held at the county seat Jan
uary Z. 1905. / further recommend
that there be a Membership Roll with
this agreement written at the top:
eve, the undersigned members of
this association, agree that we will
hold all cotton of the present crop
now in our hands until prices agreed

THE FIGHT FOR BETTER COTTON
PRICES.

Messrs. Editors: Before this issue
of The Progressive Farmer and Cot
ton Plant goes out to the public the
first step of the cotton farmers and
others interested in advancing the
price of cotton to a remuneratlve
price will have been taken-the mass
meetings held all over the South to
discuss ways and means by which we
can be lifted out of the dilemma that
the governments report has placed
us in.
That report estimating the crop at
l. 1852, 700 bales has caused a decline
of 2 cents a pound in the price of
cotton and the end is not yet In
sight, Judging from the market re-
ports of future" transactions. The
situation that now confronts the
South as a whole is serious and calls
for the most intelligent action on
the part of her people. Every propo-
sition should be carefully weighed
and find out what the results would
be, as nearly as possible, before &C,
ton is taken.
The present slump in the price of
cotton, if continued, means a clear
loss in the price of cotton alone of
more than $500 1000, while her
losses in declining values in lands,
wages, stocks and other securities
may amount to many times that
amount.
Are we as a people prepared to ac-
cept any such loss and refuse to put
our names on record in protesting
against this great evil that has be-
fallen US? Shall we quietly submit
like a lamb before the shearer and
permit ourselves to be feeced con-
tinually? These are pertinent ques-
tions which we have to face and
which we must decide. This deci-
sion must come from the farmers.
While in this fight for better prices
we have the encouragement and SYM
pathy of the merchants, bankers and
people of all callings, the real burden
rests upon the farmers, and from
them must come the answer. Let
US be men, true men, and answer in
the interest of our homes and our
loved ones. If it requires the hold
ing of 25 per cent of the present
crop of cotton, or even more than
that, let us hold. If it requires a
decrease in the acreage to be planted
neXt year, let US decrease. The mer-
chants say: "Hold. and we will fur
nish supplies if needed" The bank
ers says: "Hold, and we will advance
money ON your stored cotton" The
manufacturers say: Hold. for we
can work your cotton proftably at
10 cents per pound" With such
unanimity on the part of our friends
who are willing to take chances with
us, / see nothing to fear in maxine
the fight.
Experience has taught us that a

All the lower part of the town is flood

misplaced and outbuildings moved but
nothing serious. If, however, the rain
continues many houses win be under

The snow was from two to three feet
deep when the rains began and it is
settling rapidly but If there is no
weather change the flood will increase
rather than diminish during the next

ASoTiN CREEK HIGH
Washes Away a Portion Of a Farm
South of the City


ASoTIN, March S.--The train which
has been general for the past thirty
six hours has created considerable
damage in the vicinity of this place.
Asotin Creek is at the highest mark
that il has been in years and there is
fears that many places above the town
may be washed out. Two acres of a
farmers ranch above the city on the
creek was entirely washed away. The
Electric Light company have a force
of men patrolling the creek where their
lines are stationed and are using every
effort TO keep the power in service
Superintendent Jennings of Lewiston
passed through here this morning for
the scene of the recent washout in
which number of poles were carried
away and permanently repaired the
break in the lines.

The damage at the power house on
Asotin creek is not serious but a stone
foundation was washed away and the

not enough TO Kill the fires.
As a result of the heavy rain and

TO the scene of the Clearwater wreck
near Lenore was held up at Moscow
and was unable to get through last
night owing Ia another slide which oc-
CURED at Reeds spur. The section
men worked all night To clear the sec
ond Slide and this afternoon it is re-
ported that the Spokane bound train
which left here on time this morning
had left Kendrick. The Lewiston bound
train left Spokane this morning NJ ten
o'clock and Agent Jordan was notified
this morning by the dispatcher at Spo-
kane that three hundred passengers
had left on the morning train bound
for Lewiston and stated that unless
the track was clear on the Kendrick
Hill that the train would possibly be
run to Uniontown and the passengers
transferred to Lewiston by teams. This
afternoon Agent Jordan stated that up
to three o'clock the conditions were
favorable for the Spokane train reach
ing the city all right and would arrive
here about six or seven o'clock.
A special train was held in readiness
here to run up to the Potlatch branch
this afternoon to transfer baggage and
passengers provided the road was not
clear at Potlatch. 1t is reported that
a slide occurred one and one quarter
miles this side of Pouatch Junction
and a portion of the track has been
washed out. Nothing definite has been
heard in relation as to how serious
the washouts are but ii is stated that
the track is covered with water which
is running towards the bridge that
spans the Clearwater river near there.
II is feared that some damage might be
done the bridge by the rush of water
but al the office of the n. p. they state
that the bridge is in no danger.
There is no telling when the Clear
water service will be resumed as the
railroad company will pay all their at
tention to placing the main line in
shape. At Peck this morning the track
is covered with three feet of water and
it is believed that the track has been
washed away.
Parties arriving in the city from the
Lapwai and Sweetwater country report
that both the Lapwai and Sweetwater
creeks are raging torrents. Much bot
tom land has been overlooked and in
some cases a number of families have
been compelled to move to higher
ground.

JULIAETTA, March S.-The Pot
latch is raging here and raised over
two feet last night. The Lewiston
train arrived here on time this morn
ing and proceeded to Kendrick where
it will be held up until the washout
and slide above there is repaired. The
track between this city and Kendrick
is in good shape and below the city it
appears to be all right The creek is
still raising and If it raises another
foot it is expected that much damage
will result.
