The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1906-11-24

eachSoHViIie, RIA, attending Il meeting
of the Southern States Commissioners of
Agriculture. He has been especially as
fsigned the subject of Broadening the
Market for Cotton and Cotton Manu-
featured Goods" and hopes to induce
this body of men to adopt some definite
plan and take action concerning this
matter of SO much Importance to the
3 cotton planters of our State. The United
; States government has at last recognized
; the claims of our. people for assistance
along this line and the last Congress APP
propriated u small sum for beginning
the work 1t is important that our
Congressman and Senators be memorial
lied to keep up this effort until there
will be. no necessity of campaigns TO re-
iduce the acreage, but that. every man
can plant all the cotton he desires to
and will receive n fair price created by
an active demand. Subsidies have been
granted for this industry and donations
for that, but until the past year not a
thing has been done for our cotton plant
er. We must all take an active interest
and push the good work along. Give
our representatives to understand that
they must do something to help the cot
ton planter if they expected to be re-
elected, and the effect will be pleasant
indeed. Nothing can be accomplished
without effort and we must make the
effort.
The Farmers Union Of Mississippi
will hold its regular annual meeting in
Jackson next month, and a large attend
ance is expected from the several hun
dred local unions in the State. This or
ganization is young in the State, but is
growing by leaps and bounds. The ex-
c~eptionally practical plan of building
cotton warehouses for the storing of cot
ton is growing deservedly popular and
in a short while it seems that a large
number of them will be built in various
portions of the State. The work accom-
plished SO far has been highly satisfac-
tory, and the organization should have

a campaign will be waged by regular
organizers, with the view of increasing
the membership, and good results are
sure to follow. The old cry of interest
ed parties that the farmers will not
stick together has been exploded long
ago, and the ~manipulators of farm prod
ucts are sure to so up against some
thing that VIII give them a shock in the
zeal future. The union is doing a good
work, ard this department has been ten
dered it to help advance the cause.
