That there is an awakening among
the men who are popularity supposed to
be "bou ed bowed down by the weight
of ages" no one with ordinary sense
can deny. In ignorance he carried
the weight of his wrongs uncOmplain-
ingly, but the light of education has
sharpened his sense of justice and those
whose tainted dollars" has enabled
them TO form combinations which have
made bis burden hard to bear will find
the farmers quite competent TO secure
their rights against either individuals
or combinations. Singly and collec-
lively the farmer is learning the neces-
atty of taking care of his interests and
in future transactions will put up a
fight for a square deal such as to cause
grafters and unjust combines to seek
places of safety from their wrath. They
are beginning to realize that knowledge
of their own affairs and of ways of the
rest Of the world is necessary in order
to secure justice from both the govern
ment and business world. They are
physically and mentally equal to any
emergency that may arise in this war
for fair division of that their honest
labor entities them. They earn honest
ly that which they claim and in future
transactions will secure what ia due
them with more ease and greater GER
tainty than they have in the past.-Farm

Cultural Method.

DR.. Knapp, special agent of the gov
eminent in charge Of Farmers Cooper
alive Work. has issued a circular to the
cotton farmers, in which he urges the
necessity of u change in the system of
farming heretofore practiced in the
boil weevil region. He gives it as bis
conviction that if what is known as the
cultural method had been adopted in
Texas last fall very few weevils would
have been found in that state this year.
Briefly stated, the government plan
consists in destroying the cotton stalks
in the fall, getting cotton land into
good tillahle condition by fall blowing,
planting an early maturing variety of
cotton, using a reasonable amount of
fertilizer where lands are poor and cul-
tivating the crop thoroughly and fire.
quently in order to produce Il crop
early in the season. Prof. Knapp en-
phasiZes the great importance of fall
blowing, and places to the credit of
such work the following points:
l. 1t aerates the land and prepares
plant food.
2. The termination of the seed at the
next planting is better; plants are more
vigorous and the crop greatly benefited.
g. 1t destroys weeds n insects.
Both will be injurious to the future
crop.
4. 1t advances the work of the farm,
lengthens the working season and en-
ables the farmer to plant promptly at
the right time.

Hold Your Cotton for Is Cents.

To the holders of Cotton in Louisiana:
We asked for Eleven Gents and We
got it. Now we ask for Fifteen Gents
and zoe are going to getH. Ii we do not,
It will be because you who " the
Cotton do not want Fifteen Cents for
it and will not help us to get that price
sure that you will receive the price.
The spiDners will not be hurt by hav-
ing to pay Fifteen Cents for the balance
of this crop. They have already bought
the biggest half of it at around 10
cents and now if VIC make them pay
15 cents for the balance it will bring
the average price of the whole crop at
about 121 cents and that will not be a
high price for Il short crop like this.
especially when the best Informed
people claim that they have been sell
ing the manufactured goods on Il basis
of IA cents raw cotton ever since last
Spring.
We are going to ask you to sign Il
pledge to hold for 80 days unless the
price reaches Is cents before then. The
wording of the pledge, n plain business
proposition, follows:
We the following named citizens
VI OSb i'oas

power at our command to hold the mum
Der of bales of cotton stated opposite
our respective names for ninety days
from date and refuse to sell any of a
cotton within that time for less than
Fifteen Gents per pound, basis middiIng,
at our market points.
The names of all signatures will be
confidential and nome given oat to the
public by the Association, only the
aggregate number of bales from each
county held.
Mail above pledges when signed

ton, Atlanta, Ga. -,

be necessary for u few OF your large
holders of Cotton to get together n
make arrangements TO have a canvass
of your parish made securing pledges
from everyone who still has cotton and
who can hold fns ninety days, in order
that these pledges can be sent to head
quarters at Atlanta, Ga, az soon as
possible. The quicker Mr.. Jordan can

the pledges signed in his Office the
quicker will the price OF cotton go to 10
cents. Therefore write OF wire me at
once for blank pledges. sign them your
self and get all your n%eighbors To sign,
so that we may tie up the cotton at
once and hold for ninety days if Deces-
sary to get our price. | earnestly ask

tinuance Of his good success in
his printery. The Graphic is an
excellent newspaper.

Editor Bowen, of the Sioux
Falls Press, has learned of the
fact that an ex-governor appeared
before the state board of equal
ization in the interest of thirty
five miles of railroad IN Campbell
county, which is controlled by the
500 Pacific company. Now, that
lis a mighty big thing, isn't it?
Say, can't you hunt around in
some other corner of the state and
find a posthole in which is stuck
an end of railroad rail, tie or
spike Then dig into the depths
and unearth some so-called ma
chine man who is attorney for the
outfit! Truly, you are in desperate
straits. But the amusing part of
the comment is when Editor
Bowen refers to the "attorney
ship in place of Mr.. Crawford"
and "that a cog slipped and the
position went to another" Mr..
Crawford, from this statement,
seems to have been an attorney
for one of the leading railroad
corporations doing business in
the state. And in such capacity
it is presumed that he rode on
railroad passes, too. A "cog
slipped" and it is different now.

When our country was In the log

was not held In high regard, and obvi-

were too busy hewing paths and blaz-
ing trails t. cultivate life's finer side.
Theirs was the rough work Of field
and camp, of hammer and saw But
times, men end manners have changed,
and new conception of dress has
sprung up. Young men especially rec
ognize the direct relation of correct
dress In business and social prefer
ment. The well dressed man carries
his Introduction with him-he is mas
ter of himself and of the situation. He
commands the respect Of others be-
cause he shows that he respects him
self.
1t is true that there are some men
Of wealth and position who slur their
clothes and even some who feign to
scorn the niceties Of dress. The hab-
Its Of careless youth have left their
imprint on such men, and 1t is quite
certain that their disdain of dress
played no part in their success and
detracts measurably from their enjoy
ment of 1t, for, after ALL the ripest
fruit OF success is the esteem Of ones
