Farmers Union Department
GO SLOW ON CROP NEWS.
(The Co-Operator.)


Never mind about crop reports and
acreage The Farmers Union mem
bership is not interested In such
things. 1t does not matter what the
acreage is or what the condition Of
the crops may be, nor weather condi-
tions. The only thing Is to hold your
products for the minimum prices fixed
by the National Union and to take no
less.
Every local Union ought to adopt
resolutions binding its members not to
give out crop estimates, acreage or
anything of that sort to any human be-
ing at any time. 1t is each farmers
own business, and no one else's how
much land he plants, or what the con-
ditions of his crops may be.

THE COTTON INDUSTRY.
(BoSton Herald.)

ploy 5000 hands Is due to two In
teresting circumstances. First some
of the investors have shown their
faith in Boston by increasing their
stake here Second, it is evident that
students of the situation at the south
are convinced New England has an
important future in this industry.
Eugene N. Foss, the only pro-
moter of the plant whose name has
yet been published, except the Dra-
pers, who will furnish the machinery,
has shown that large iron goods could
be profltably manufactured here, and
refused definite advances from Pitts
burg, while he is active in the devel-
opment of Boston real estate. With
him this is no mere maudlin senti-
ment or home sickness, but conviction
based on knowledge and experience.
When he persuades capitalists to join
him in a mill at East Boston, located
at the water front, and invests heavily
In the concern himself, he does so
because he believes the harbor will
afford frequent sailings in worthy
ships to convey his wares to foreign
lands 1t is chiefly for export that
he plans his product, and he chooses
the site to avoid use Of railroads,
either for obtaining raw cotton and
coal or for shipment Of goods. The
port of Boston and its future activ-
ity are, to Mr.. Foss, the chief assets
of his site.
Evidently the true situation at
the south is more clearly understood
by the stockholders of the East Bos-
ton factory than by our people in
general. New England suffers with
the south to some extent from the
present labor famine but not in so
great degree. 1t is not Massachusetts
that has been securing Europe for
operatives. When spinners and weav-
ers go to the south they cannot al
ways be induced to stay. Georgia,
North Carolina and South Carolina
in the ten years 1890 to 1900 increased
the number of their cotton goods op-
eratives 1913 per cent. The census
of 1905" (actually 1904) was for four
year period. At the same rate Of
growth the percentage of increase
would have been roughly four-tenths Of
1913, or II per cent The check in rate
of expansion Of the southern mills has
been made still more evident since
the census year by the Cry for opera
tives.
The climate of New England is not
only more conducive to nimbleness,
both of mind and of fingers, than the
southern, but more agreeable the year
round to persons of a mechanical turn,
and the development of cities here af-
fords better facilities for education
to children and adults and for enter
tainment of many kinds. One Of the
reasons for locating in East Boston is
the supply Of help.
After all, however. there is no rea-
son for unfriendly rivalry between
the two parts Of the country. 1t is
the export trade for which both will
strive as the total product more and
more shall exceed the home demand.
"The United States" Mr.. Foss said
in a recent address, "is exporting too
much raw material. She should make
her cotton up into cloth and then ex-
port It." The value" of exports to
