will have the demand supplied, in.
GLIDING the 100000 bales on
hand. In order 10 make this crop
we must reduce ~ per cent. II
there we're 100000 acres in cot
ton last year, we must plant only
100000 acres this year. To
make il more clear: we must plant
only S acres this year TO every IA
acres last year, and If we planted
| 100 acres last year we must plant
only 81 IL acres this year. In
order to prove these figures will
first state that | allowed 3 acres TO
the bale last year and counted
100000 bales; then we have
8 times IA, 100000 which gives us
~ 100000 acres. Now we must
make S,000,0 900 bales this year and
count same number Of acres to the
bale as last year-we would say 81
times 100000 are 24,000,000I
acres TO plant this year, and at the
same time we want TO make 6, Co.,
600 bales less this year than last.
Well, then, reduce the crop of 49,.
100000 acres down $4,000, 900 and
we will have the 100000 acres,
count il to average bale to three
acres, we will raise our required
amount.
Great will be the day when all |
farmers are organized so as to
have confidence in each other
each to let the other know Just
how much of each farm product he
is going to plant, and in the mean.
time be true 10 these promises; be
firm in one solid body as brothers.
II you are going to be a man, be
one, and don't merely pretend to
be. Don't stay at home and say
"I'm willing to do what my neigh.
bors do but all meet together
and discuss the subject of crop
diversifcation and scientific agri-
culture. School yourselves on
farming; you can never learn too
much about il. No man has yet
learned it all. There is something
to be learned every year in farm
ing. In the Farmers Union would
be a nice place TO school yourself. ;
But we don't ask you to join us ,
unless you think it a good thing
and believe it your duty to Join. {
But | say do something, if it's ,
more than scrub the moss Z
off your back. Let the world know {
you are not dead in your hull. {
Come out OF the hackles / say. I

Wild geese are going north by -
be hundreds. l wonder if there "a
,n't an over-production Of feathers
his year, see the geese are still
.olding their feathers. Oh, well,
guess they have joined the Farm
rs Union or the National Cotton b
irowers' Association. If | could
md some news the editor wouldn't
lind publishing that, but | guess u
his letter will find its way to the I,
taste basket. II it does, the other A,

can write something else. w.
Much good luck and success to II
