First, 70 reach tnr farmer
how to prodnco pr fitable crops.
Second, How hest to market on
products 80 ns TO turn the l.rotit!
Of our produce into the hands o

TO THE PRESS OF THE STATE.
.- We believe that 1t Will b. to tie

Union aud the press Of the coun
Try for the FarmnTa' Union to usn

pies tLr. ugh all the ost blished
ewspap"rs through The country
without pr ference 80 long as the
present friendly, and cordial rela-
tions between the Furmers' Union
and the press Of the state prevails.
TO THE FARMERS OF THE STATE
We believe that the farmers of
the state appreciate the fuct that
the farmers should have all organ.
ization of their own composed ex-
clusivrly Of farmers.
We believe that no othor occupa.
tion that has al organization OF
it's own can consi stently object to
farmers having an organization Of
it's own, composed entirely Of fal NJ
ers.
The Farmers Union propose to
attend to lts own farming busine ess
in lts own way without making
any attempt at pulling down other
legitimate business Or occupations
in order to build up our farming
interest.
In order to fortify our position
in demanding profitable prices for
our money crop, cotton, and inforc-
ing the sam", the Farmers Union
urges it's members and all other
farmers Of tie cotton belt to raise
all hom, supplies On their farms
that will grvw there profitably.
Our Farmers Union discoura.
ges the sys'em of buying many sup.
plies that could be groNn on ou
southern farms, at high rates for
the purpose of growing the one
crop p-cottOn, which invariably
causes our cotton to be sold at
free sales TO pay for supplies oh.
tanned at high rates.
OUR RELATIONS WITH THE SOUTH
ERN COTTON ASSOCIATION.
Why there should not be any
friction between their members?'
Because we have the same inIer.
est at stake as to profitable prices
to the producers of cotton
Bscaus, we should be liberal
enough towards each other to per.
NIT each organization to attain it's
objects III it's own way!
Because We feel it a duty We owe
each other TO stand togetherI
Because every interest Of the
South IS staked upon a profitable
price to the producers of our groat
st PIE crop, cotton!
Because the Farmers' Union !,
strictly farmers Organization!
Because all othe, intere ts have
their separate and distinct organ
zation, and the cottonlassociatio,
is an amalgamated or &l l.erent or.
ganlZatlOn where all interests II
tie cotton belt can come together
in grand conference, for the welfare
Of our Common interests which an
chors around profitable prices tt
the producers Of 'cottonl
Because We all live here togethe
in the southland whore cotttn i
king!
Because when foreign interest
combine to reduce the profits to tn
producers of cotton and succeed il
doing it, overy dollar thus force,
out OF the producers hands tha
goes to foreign interests, is lust g
many dollars taken out of tn
south which will sooner or late
be felt in every vein and artery G
