CONTINUES TO GROW
State Secretary Griffin Says the Union Now Has 70, ,000 Mem
 bers in Arkansas

Speaking of the growth of the Farmers Union in Arkansas, Ben l.. Griffin, state secretary, says:
 When the present officers were elected first at Hot Springs on App Til 2S, 1905, there had been up to that time 1000 charters issued, with an approximate membership of 30, ,000, but from the best infor- nation obtained by the state secre- tary this number of charters was exaggerated, and of the 1,010 is- sued up to that date, 30 or B Of them surrendered their charters and consolidated with other unions. or went defunct. but from May 1 to date there has been wonderful increase. We had on January 10 last 1,604 chartered local unions, and 50 applications on file in the office waiting on the charter fees, and at least 90 more in the hands of the organizers that have not yet been reported, which when added to the present charter list, will make more than 1, TOO local unions. 1 have also issued charters for 57 county unions. Thus 1t will be seen that l have issued more than 600 charters to locals and 57 coun- ty charters since my election, and while l cannot tell the exact num- Der of members for the reason that the reports are not complete, l can safely say that we have today more than 79,000 members in Ark ansas, and the present quarterly reports are heavier than any here tofore. They show a wonderful increase in membership fees, far more than any proceeding quarter.
 It is admitted by those con- yersant with the effective work accomplished by the organiza tion that by united action We have. saved to the farmers direct not less than $1, ,000, ,O0O the past two sea sons by judiciously marketing the cotton crops. Put every expense against the result of benefit and it's enough to infuse new life and wig orin every lubewarem union broth CT in the land. 5

THE FARMER AND BANKER.

In his address to the Southern Cotton Convention, ". P. c. Harding, president of the Birm. ineham (Ala. First National Bank, said among other things: It Is gratifying to note the closer feel ing that now exists between the Southern farmer and the banker. Only few years ago the banker was looked upon by the farmer as q kind of money shark, whose mission was to take from him in the way of discount cand interest whatever money that was left to him after he had settled with the tax collector. The farmer felt that he belonged to the bank, whereas now the situation has been reversed, the obligation has shift and the banks now show net credit in his favor. The prosperi- ty of the Southern banker depends absolutely on that of the farmer; the welfare, however, can be greatly enhanced by judicious re- ciprocity on the part of the banks. ,
 Mir. Harding said new condi- tions made the greatest need of the Southern farmer today the proper warehousing of his cotton. Formerly cotton was rushed to market in three or four months. Now, by cooperation between banker and farmer, it is possible for the latter to hold the product at his own own will.
