NOT A POLITICAL ORGANIZA-
TON.

The Farmers Union has been stead
fast in its contention for the agri-
cultural classes to remain true to
certain principles in the business af-
fairs of its membership. It has been
charged by certain venal newspapers
those who sell their editorial ut.
terances for a few paltry dollars Of
public patronage-that the Union is
going into politics and is, therefore,
dangerous. With all the trusts and
farmers cannot be blamed for at least
voting intelligently upon the public
issues confronting the country. The
Commercial knows that in the three
last presidential elections the corpo-
rations actually furnished all the
money necessary to elect president,
United States senate and House Of
Representatives, thereby controlling
the executive and judicial branches
Of the government with the money Of
the people. Tt is certainly not trea-
son for the plain citizen to exercise
his right Of suffrage as he sees fit.
The Farmers Union is not a politi-
cal organization, but stands now, and
ought to stand forever, for the sacred
rights Of the humblest citizen. Upon
this basic principle it will live on
while its enemies will perish by their
own narrow selfshness and avarice.-
Georgetown Commercial.

LET THE FARMER PRICE HIS
OWN CROPS.

After the farmer has grown his
crop, moreover, he should give more
attention to how he shall market it
so as to secure the largest returns
for his labor. The old method Of
simply going to town and taking
whatever is offered is a relic Of bar
barism. In the past the farmer has
not stood up for his rights as he
should have done, and so he has fre-
quently failed to receive fair re-
muneration for his industry. This is
the farmers fault for he has allowed
himself to be brow-beaten by men

formerly did. Is it not economy,
therefore, to practice intensive cul-
ture in the futures By the means of
labor saving implements and inten-
sive culture the farmer can largely
overcome the very serious labor stu
alton with which he is confronted to-
day.
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-02-14
JOIN THE UNION.

"We hope that all our farmers and
workingmen will join the Farmers
Educational Union. The Union move
ment is movement in favor of hu-
manity. 1t is only through co-opera-
tion that we will ever be able to stop
the aggressions of capitalistic and
corporate greed. 1t is only by organ
izing that popular rights can be Sc
cured. The few who are already in
the saddle will continue in control
as long as the workingman and the
farmer remain Helots and allow
themselves taxed to death to support
the rich corporations which are MAX
ing large dividends on watered stock.
There are enough farmers and
workingmen in this country to right
every political wrong if they will
only organize and work for the bene
fit of the many against the encroach-
ments of a few.
Let us all 60 out, join the Union,
and work for the good of our coun-
try"
We clip the above from the Cor
dele Rambler for the reason that it
expresses our opinion so fully in 80
much better language than we can
command. The Banner has contended
all along that money was the ruling
power, that sooner or later, there
must come a revolution, a reversal Of
things. when men will be rated by
instrinsic value, and not by dollars
and cents. Money has ruled until
the middle classes-the common peo-
pie are mere tools and serfs, and yet
when an election comes round.
large number of them allow them
selves to be hoodwinked into voting
for a human Octopus by the ''dirty
politicians cry of, we want a man
who has been SUCCESSFUL. and the
poor fools never stop to think that
success in this worlds goods does
not always mean an honest man, and
that perhaps every dollar of the
wealth of the so-called SUCCESSFUL
man has been wrung from the hand of
labor by means and methods that are
anything else but right and honorable.
Again, We say to the farmers and
laboring people-those who produce
wealth-get together and see to It
that your rights are respected-vote
your convictions and stop pandering
to the ill-gotten gains of the MONEY

the work Systematically ;,-oo do every
thing as nearly as. possible at the
right time. 1t is Nee, that season and
soil conditions yA risterfere with the
best laid plans, ed observation i'm
presses the fs aspre emphatically
each year that t. ed, ,,areful, systematic
farmer nearly always accomplishes
what he sets out to achieve, because
there is system and method in all that
he undertakes, and therefore he can
accomplish twice as much in given
time because he has worked out things
beforehand, Systematically; he has
repaired and painted his machines
during the winter, he has planned out
accurately what he shall devote each
field to, and he has looked into the
future far enough to anticipate many
of the unpleasant conditions which
will confront him during the year.
Farming to him is pleasure and a
delight, and though he may not aocu-
mulate great wealth, he is nearly al
ways a successful and prosperous man,
a man who enjoys the respect and
confidence Of his neighbors, and who
has respectable bank account to his
credit. He is a jovial, whole-souled
person and takes larger view Of life
than the ordinary man because he
has brought his fields under a sys-
tematic rotation Of crops, he has
purchased his fertilizers at the most
opportune time and so secured them
at the lowest possible cost. He has
studied the markets carefully and
placed his crops on sale to the best
advantage. He has examined closely
into the methods pursued by his
friends and neighbors; he reads an
agricultural paper; he examines the
bulletins from his state experiment
station; he places himself in touch
with the latest and best source of in
formation, and so he is posted we'll
in advance as to the conditions which
are likely to prevail and which crops
are likely to prove most remunerative.
System has achieved wonders in
business life and, all opinions to the
contrary, system can be introduced
on the farm, and in proportion will
achieve relatively as valuable results
as it has brought to our great cap
tains Of industry. This little word
bears a prominent place in the sue
cessful operations of every farmer.
III.
Why Cultivate Five Acres to Make
What One Should Produce?
Intensive farming should also be a
slogan of the tillers of the soil for
1907. High-priced labor makes it a
necessity, and in our discriminating
markets Of the present day and gen.
Grafton quality alone counts. Quality
and quantity must be obtained by
the farmer in order to make his oper-
ations profitable.
Why should any farmer persist in
following the slip-shod methods that
have so frequently brought ruin in

is no reason why the farmers in Y
given section should not get together
and determine what would be fair
price for the crops they have to sell,
and then by presenting united front
to the buyers, obtain what they ask.
So long as they go as individuals into
the markets and offer their crops at
any price the buyer will give them,
they are bound to get the worst end
Of the bargain.
Cooperation, therefore, should be
one Of the planks in the farmers
platform, and every progressive citi-
zen will respect him more for stand
ing out firmly for his rust rights. Too
frequently in the past the residents
Of towns and cities have fe4that the
farmers could be overridden %t viii,
that their wishes could be ignored

the farmer depended entirely on the
city. There never was a greater mis-
