Forest Service Field Studies.

The government Forest service
is now studying 1867 900 acres of
forest land in Washington. In
the western part of the state the
work covers 100000 acres. The
results cs this work, which will
be continued during the coming
year, will be of great value in
throwing light on the problems
of protecting these coast forests
from fire and preventing the pres
ent excessive waste in logging, as
well as in developing a plan for
future timber production.

About one hundred women in
the state have taken out hunting
licenses. OF course, this does not
mean that only that number hunt,
for there are perhaps many more
who hunt in the township of their
residence. OF these there is no
record because the law requires a
license only when the h:lnter
goes out of the township of resi-
dence.

Snow in Texas.

For the first time since the
weather bureau has been in exis-

have been possible at Elpaso,

fell there all day Sunday and the

and of more Importance than the
idea of raising a huge quantity, as
we see illustrated by the cotton crop.
We find that many fail to apply or
advocate the principle for practice.
We believe that a close organization
of the farmers cooperating to re-
duce acreage 25 per cent, reduce fer
tilizer bill for cotton 25 Ter cent,
and hold all cotton now on hand for
better price, will help to educate the
other fellow and bring him to see
his own interest is with us and the
strength of cooperation and organi-
cation.
Being organized into Unions, these
farmers will take advantage of every
opportunity to cooperate and secure
better prices for what they produce:
and by bulking their deals they have
helped themselves and others, and al
ways protecting their friends. and
securing benefits that are right and
just and detrimental to no one.

A Word from President Cunningham.

Messrs. Editors: / was much dis
appointed that, owing to sickness In
my family, / was unable to go to the
New Orleans. / read with much in
terest the proceedings of that great
convention. The meeting was one
of the largest and most representa-
tive bodies that e assembled in the
United States. The convention
showed what the farmers can do when
they think, and decide to unite and
work together.
The farmers have pledged them
selves to Investigation of crops, to
reduction of acreage and the reten-
ton of their present holdings, and to
so manage their cotton as not to glut
the market.
And this is the keynote to the stu
alton. In 1908, tobacco was selling far
below the cost of production. The
farmers curtailed their crop in 1904,
ana LODdCCO duNdHCcus anu SOIu 4OA
much higher figures during the
past fall of 1904, though tobacco,
too, has declined considerably since
the price of cotton went off.
This is the season of the year to
burn plant beds, and tobacco is not
selling at a price to pay the farmers
a profit on their labors. Kinston has
just made a report of their tobacco
sales. Kinston sold $685. 76 pounds
less up to January 81. 1904, than for
1903, and it brought $13s. 2O6.37 more
than 1903 tobacco.
So cotton will sell higher, if the
acreage is reduced. The farmers will
be in good condition if they only
make plenty of supplies at home
without having them to buy.
Respectfully,
JOHN s. CUNNINGHAM,
President Cotton Growers and Bust
ness Mems Association.

Farmers Educational and Cooperative
Union Clubs.

Messrs. Editors: The farmers in
this county have organized several To-
cal unions of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union of
America, and it is realized by those
who join that it is of inestimable
value to the farmers to have a good
close farmers organization to consid-
er matters of vital interest to them.
Thus they can meet and consider and
weigh all such matters carefully and
deliberately, and then act according
to the best counsel obtainable and in
the best way to secure the desired
results, thereby securing more re-
Enumeration for their products
which is really of more Importance
than raising more Fer acre. which
seems to take up the time and efforts
of so large a number of farmers and
others.
The members are all well pleased,
and that accounts for the spread of
the Union, and they cease to wonder
why the +. E. and 9. u. has grown
SO fast in other States, as they real
ize the farmers will stick when they
find it pays well to do so. Boiling
Springs, Trinity, Mt. Pleasant and
some other places have good local
Unions, and are working harmonious
ly. They all wish to cooperate in
the efforts to secure better prices for
their products, which is the keynote,

In Indian Territory.

Nessrs. Editors: From the foothills
of the Piedmont region of North Car
DINA to the so-called wilds of the In
dian Territory is a change far less
abrupt and striking than commonly
imagined. Here we find the same
crops raised and much the same style
of farming followed as in the Tar
Heel State. The differences are only
such as are inseparable between an
old and thickly settled country and
a new and sparsely settled one, with
as yet but primitive improvements
in agricultural methods.
The climate is mild and aquable;
but little snow falls and horses and
cattle can live on the range the year
round. The soil is in general very
fertile, and consists largely of river
bottoms and rolling prairies. with
some broken and hilly portions in the
southeastern part. 1t produces large
crops of corn, potatoes, wheat, oats
and also of cotton. which is the sta
pie or money crop, its value the past
year exceeding $25,00O,0OO. The hill
ly and upland lands yield from one-
half to three, ourth bales ger acre,
and the bottom J one to two bales.
Cotton, owing to + scarcity of Ia
Dor, is not cultivated so clearly as in
regular cotton States, and the hoe
enters but little into its cultivation.
Frequently the land is marked off as
for corn and alternate rows of cot
ton and corn planted. Many claim
that the corn pays the entire expense
of cultivation and that the cotton is
clear profit.
Do not, however, all pack your
grips and start for the Territory. 1t
has its disadvantages, the chief of
which is the difficulty of securing
title to land from its Indian posses-
sors, a paternal government having
so hedged in and restricted it's sale
that a valid title is hard to secure.
A bill, providing for its sale to actual
settlers upon the payment of one-sev-
enth cash of the purchase price, the
balance in six annual installments, is
now before Congress, and there seems
a likelihood of its passage. 1t will
prove a boon to poor but industrious
men desrious of securing homes for
themselves and families.

A Farmers Trust.
Blackgum, Ind. Ter.

Enclosed find P. O. order for 81
for my renewal. I am glad to see
that the farmers are organizing. IF
six-cent cotton will cause them to
pull tooether for their own protec-
ton, | think it a blessing instead of
a misfortune. For if once thorough
ly organized, they can attend to the
price of cotton and also be in a posi-
ton to protect themselves when 9TH
er combines" attempt to impose
OF them. As almost all other call
ings or professions are controlled by
a trust, [ am in favor of one more
"a farmers trust or combine.

At present the best thing a new
IN can do is to rent land for the
first year even If he has money. At
the end of that period he. will be able
to size up the situation int~elligently
and also to secure land at bottom
prices, without the Intervention of
the real estate dealer. Full bloods
are the best of landlords. and one is
always able to secure land from them
on fair and reasonable terms. This
place is in the heart of the fullblood
country. The old medicine man of
this observation-disclosures a
great-grandson of Squaw Gunter, the
medicine squaw of the Cherokees
when they lived in Western North
Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. She
used to ride her gray pony and min
lister to the sick and afflicted over a
large extent of territory. The
Sequatchia valley knew her, as did
the headwaters of the Watauga and
French Broad, as a ministering an
gel. Oogalah is a worthy descendant,
and his skill is acknowledged alike by
white and red.
His library-an heirloom from his
grandmother-is an oddly. At that
time an alphabet was not used by the
Cherokees. and all records were writ
ten on the fiat bones of various ami
mails by the picture method of writ
ing. These were afterwards strung
together and formed books. Many
of these pictures, inscribed on the
bones in Oogalah's library, would no
doubt be barred transmission through
the mails, but are really no more OBJ
scene and suggestive than those gen
orally found on the pages Of medical
works. Like his famous ancestors, he
gives his services free, and in the
treatment of many chronic and pri-
vate diseases, many whites prefer the
methods of Squaw Gunter to those
of the white physicians.
There are many odd people to be
found here, but their oddities are
hardly suitable to describe in an agri-
cultural journal, so I will bring this
to a close.

FOR THE LARGER PUBLIC
 SCHOOL STUDENTS.

There is no good reason why young people anxious to be earn ing something for themselves should be idle three to five months of the year absorbing all the meanness in the country and growing up like rag weeds.
 Time is money and opportunity too. He who will study only in cold weather robs himself of his best chances of success by taking twice as long as necessary to get ready and beginning so far be- hind in the race. It's the fellow with nothing else to do, and not the busy man, who suffers most from heat.
 Taking a business course, short hand or telegraphy during this idle season is not half so hard on health or morals as card parties,
