cotton with the hope of driving us back
to starvation prices. And now, as The
National Co. Operator says, this move
ment on the part of the spinners would
be funny if it were not so ridiculous.
Yes, it is too absurd to ever give it no
tice. Hasn't this cotton scare-crow
been hoisted by those English Spinners
in Egypt, South Africa and almost
every other country where there isn't
snow on the ground 1865 days in the
year?
And what was the result? A feat
failure just what win be over here
after they have tried it.
We will give the Englishmen the
credit of knowing how to spin cotton
after we of the South have grown it
for them, but when it comes to either
them or those Welsh or Belgians rails
ing the Aeecy staple, they know moth
ing more about it than a hog knows
about politics. In fact if those Welsh
and Belgians are as lazy as some of
the emigrants who come here, they
will be too internal lazy to keep off the
mosquitoes down these in Mississippi
and Louisiana much less trying to hoe
and plow cotton. No, those English
spinners are sharp and they well know
that with experimentation the South
ern cotton farmer is just going to raise
cotton to supply the demand, and with
organization, they are going to stand
shoulder to shoulder like men and de-
mand a profitable price for that cotton,
and seeing that their scare-crow failed
to brighten, when so far from us, they
are now going to move it up a little
nearer. So, brothers farmer, don't be
afraid. It's the same old bunch of rags
tied on q little bit taller pole, and it
moved up to where they hope we will
notice it.
Stay in the buggy and just keep cool.
There's 10 danger in their cotton mule.

Stunting Corn.

We are pleased to receive the follow
ing letter from Mr.. Williamson on his
stunning corn plan, and trust that some
of u Farmers Union men will put
his plan through a comparat' re test,
which will remove all doubts either
way about the plan. We have six
acres under comparative test after Mr..
Williamson's stunning process, and will
weigh the products and measure the
area by an expert from the South
Carolina Experiment Station:
Mr.. j. c. Stribbling, Pendleton, S. c.
Dear Sir: The exhaustive and con-
tinuous tests that you ask about in
your letter of 18th inst, to Dovesville,
have not made; nor is it possible in
agriculture to tell positively which of
the many attentions given to a crop
has contributed most to the result.
This method have advised tried on
only a few acres the first year, or until
one is familiar with its ways.
feel that the results that | and nv
n%eighbors who have adopted it have
obtained are sufficient to justify me in
recommending that it be given a trial;
if it is not satisfactory it need not be
followed again. A few acres will not
only be sufficient, but best for giving
this trial. :.
This "strunting" is no new thing in
corn growing; and if / had expressed
it: "To so check and retard the stalk
growth, that there shall be neither
moisture or plant food wasted in it's
production Then numbers of farmers
would have recognized it as Just what
they have been trying to do for years.
Many of them have planted both early
and late all of their lives to reduce the
size of the stalk, and they will tell YOU
that when young corn mot iointed) is
bitten by frost, the stalk will not grow
large, but that it usually makes better
ears.
Ihls plan Is not so new to the farm
ers as the newspapers seem to think
certainly not to the farmers about
here. 1t will need to be altered and
modified to suit different soils and spe.
cial conditions, yet the general princi.
pies are correct and will work great
benefit whenever the tendency is tc
make stalk growth at the expense OF
car.
Experience and judgment are required
to give best results, and all who try il
may not succeed certainly not the
first year. | trust that none will dc
worse than by the old method, and
sincerely hope that it may give to al
who try it the benefit that it has giver
to me.
Yours truly,
E. M. WILLIAMSON.

quotes the statement made in the
House by Mr. Watson, the Repubh-
can whip, to whom President Roose,
velt addressed his recent letter, in
which Mr.. Watson boasts Of the Gov

banking criminals, and cites the case
of Cassie Chadwick an7 that Of. W.

which s3,000,000 in money was given
to those two corporations. besides
several million dollars worth OF
lands in the City Of Washington, and
franchises worth at least s50,000,000.
Half Of the money thus given came
out of the Treasury Of the United

of the District of Columbia; but

District Of Columbia obtained in re-
turn for it any stock or other pecu-
