The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-01-31

You hold on. The National Con-
vention will fix a price. You hold
on-hold ten years if necessary to
get it-but get it you will. But you
go on with that hog and hominy
business. Plant fewer acres to cot
ton, use fewer tons of guano. Feed
your lands on legumes and your crops
on fertilizers manufactured around
your barns. out-houses. stables, etc,
and you will thereby restore the great
Southern staple-King Cotton-to
his throne; and you, too, will be
crowned with wealth and honor and
be a blessing to God and to human
ity. Let "Hold on" be your watch
word. III. @. D.

Another Reminder from Mr. Hobbs.

Messrs. Editors The purpose of
my article is to get the farmers of
North Carolina to thinking. and when
we do this, their success is assured.
So I hope I will not weary your patti
ence by writing again so soon. First.
I want to congratulate you upon the
neat and clean manner in which your
PAPER is gotten out. 1t ought to be
in every household in the State.
I want to thank Prof. Massey for
his article on the three-year system
of rotating crops. I know it is as
good. or perhaps the best, plan that
can be devised for North Carolina.
I have tried it Except the PLANTING
of crimson clover in cotton when
laid by, and it has given entire salts
faction. I am like the Professor
that word Supplies" has been harmed
upon so much until it makes me sick
to hear it.
Brother farmers let us 90 to farm
ing in a more systematic way and
quit running Our "rim-nOsed rOOters
through the risibles of a reiterated
past" and oet out into the broad
SUNLIGHT of intelligence. Then. and
not until then, will success crown
our efforts: then. and not till then,
will We cease to be a prey for every
son of a gun in the whole country.
With our smoke-houses full of meat
and our cribs full of corn. with cattle
upon a thousand hills, we can defy
the world. The courage you have
displayed in the past is admirable
but it has won you no substantial
victory. Why? Because you built
your house upon the sands of ignor-
ance. So let us dig down deep into
the soil of nature and build our struc-
ture upon the solid rock of informa-
ton and intelligence. and victory is
ours. And again, those who would
be free men must dare to strike for |
freedom. We must all hang together
or we will all hang separately, as
Franklin said. "In union there is
strength" The recent organization
of cotton growers throughout the
South is surely a long step in the
direction towards agricultural
independence. It is a small acorn
from which a giant oak will
grow whose towering branches will
shade us from the MONDAY sun of
adverse circumstances. So friends,
let us turn over a new leaf for the
rear 1905. S. H. HOBBS.

ers of our country in regard to the
much-perpleXed cotton problem now |
confronting the people. 1 am aware
of the calls for organization of the
cotton growers, cotton holders, mill
men, business men, bankers and, /
might say, whomsoever will let him
join also. The call was liberal, broad
and the situation.grave. Indeed, the
price of cotton affects every individ-
al from Mr.. Roosevelt down to the
least negro babe. Mass meetings and
conventions have been held; the col
onels were there-prominent. Pardon
me for not including them in the call,
but [ did not notice that they were
invited. Yes, they were there, loaded
with wisdom and timely advice to the
poor ignorant farmers.
I trust and believe, however, that
no little good will result from those
meetings. But organizing and keep
| ing in line so vast and mixed a multi
tude is a sumner to me. Why, the
preachers about here can't get all
their members, even during a pro-
tracted meeting, to hold up their
right hands for prayer for sinners,
nor even for temperance.
Now to you sturdy farmers-you
men | mean whose smoke-houses are
in your back yards well supplied with
bacon of your own killing, granaries
and barns we'll filed, stock plentiful
and well cared for, etc..--it's you, and
you alone, who have the situation In
hand; and it's you who must solve
the problem, if solved at all, whether
or not you have joined the band. l
say this because you are the sole own
crop. It's yours to price; it's yours
to hold or to sell; it's yours to do
with as your better judgment may
suggest. You have only to agree on
a price, and it's only a question of a
little time when you'll get it. See?
The entire crop for 1904 is estimated
at about 100000 bales. About g.
600, 900 of these bales were mortgaged
cotton; so have already been sold.
The remainder is about 100000
bales, the greater part of which is
yours. Bear in mind the 1908 crop
was exhausted, the mills idle before
the present crop came in, so the con-
sumption of this crop began early in
the season. Hence the 100000
bales will be necessary to supply the
demands until another crop is made.
1t. is easily seen then that the $780,
600 bales already sold will soon be
exhausted.
What then will be the result? Will
the mills stop rather than pay even
as high a price as fifteen cents? No,
they can't afford it; they must have
the cotton. The trade demands it;
the consumer demands it; the people
must be clothed; and it's your 4,0O0,-
900 bales which must supply this de-
fciency-these demands. So you have
the bear by the tail. You are strong,

Officers Elected.

At a recent meeting of the
board of directors of the Missis
sippi and West Alabama Fair
Association the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year;
j. t. Armstrong, president; w.
@. Evans, vice president; E. S.
Moore, treasurer; John Oliver,
secretary. The board decided
to at once begin the work of max
ing active preparations for the
fall fair, and a committee con.
sisting of the entire member
ship of the board was appointed
to solicit subscriptions to the
premium fund. This committee
will at an early date begin the
work of canvassing for donations.
and it is hoped that their efforts
will meet with liberal response
not only from the merchants and
business men of Columbus but
also on the part of the planters
throughout East Mississippi and
East Alabama, whom it is hoped
will offer special premiums in the
various departments in which
they are most interested.
Heretofore the annual cata-
lodge of the association has not
been issued until August, but it
is the intention of the directors
to begin work on the catalogue at
once and to have it ready for dis
tribution by the first of June, if
possible. This is to be done be-
cause of the fact that numerous
special premiums are to be of
fered, and by getting out the
catalogue at this early date farm
ers will be enabled to plant and
cultivate the farm products on
which premiums are to e
The directors intend
to make the fair next fall the
biggest and best in the history
of the association, and in order
that their efforts in this direction
may be crowned with success
the people are urged tolend them
their hearty co operation and lib
eral support.
