THE COTTON SEED OIL TRUST.

We want to call attention Of the
Farmers Union Of Arkansas to the
practice of one Of the most heart
less combinations that has ever exist
ed in Arkansas, and that is the Cot
ton Seed Oil Combine. This combi.
nation has so effectively done its
work that it takes thee shrewdest
kind of efforts to detect their meth
DDS of speculation, and we found on
last season that the Farmers Union

As stated in your paper recently,
the Farmers Union has rented a
cotton warehouse at Cedartown and
one at Rockmart. This step gives
them entire control Of the handling
of our cotton for the next crop, for
no one should wish to, nor could
they afford to, antagonize us in this
legitimate, business-like effort to get
the worth Of our cotton.

feet that the "boll weevils are dis
appearing"
The planters Of Texas, during the
first few years of weeyil infestation,
experienced this same pleasurable
sensation each summer, until few
years of sad experience taught them
that appearances were deceitful.
The reports received from Fnto-
mologists Of the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, Bureau Of Entomology,
now at work in western Louisiana,
show that adult weevils are getting
scarce in many of the fields.
This apparent Disappearance" of
adult boil weevils is accounted for
by the fact that the hibernated Wee
wills which survived the winter, and
most of which now emerged from
their winter quarters, are now dying
off very rapidly; but another brood
the first brood for the summer
is now developing i'll the squares and
when this brood has matured and
starts to depositing eggs in the
squares in July, the farmer will quick
ly realize that there has been no
real disappearance at ALL
This article is sent out as warn
ing to the farmer, to caution him
against letting this coming temporary
absence of adult weevils lull him in
to false security. This same thing
has taken place In the boil weevil
section each year, and will take place
IN every year to come; therefore do
not neglect those measures which will
protect the crop. Give frequent shall
low civilizations and pick up and cage
the fallen squares as directed in Cir
cular No. Is of the Crop Pest Com
mission. (Any farmer who has not
received this circular should write at
once to the Commission at Baton
Rouge for copy.)
The farmers who have been expert
menting with Paris green on the cot
ton now behold this seemingly mir
aculous disappearance Of adult wee
wills and naturally jump to the con-
clusiOn that the poison has done it.
Circumstances could not conspire
more perfectly to create false results
in these experiments.
Whether he has "banked" on
Paris green or not, our advice to ev-
cry farmer in the weevil territory is
to protect his crop by giving frequent
cultivation and taking care of the
fallen squares, for in most of the in
tested area these are the only means
by which cotton can be made now.

belong to the Farmers Union, dlu
number Of ginners in the country
who do not belong to the Union, aid
ed and abetted this heartless combi-
nation in robbing the farmer from
three to five dollars per ton on the
seed To illustrate how slick this was
done, they put a piece OF eleven
dollars (the mills did on seed de-
livered), they then would go to the
ginner and hire him to buy seed for
them at the gin, giving eleven dollars
for the seed at the gin. Then said
ginner would get from $3.50 to So
per ton for delivering the seed at
the railroad station. This little ham
dy scheme Of bribing the ginner rob
bed the man who hauled his seed di
rectly to town, who could get but
eleven dollars to save his life, Of
from $3.50 to So per ton.
1t does look strange to think that
the ginner who derives his support
like all other classes from the farm
er would thus enter into comblna-
ton that takes the advantage of his
unsoHisticated brother and allow this
oil trust combination to use him as
a tool in controlling the price of cot
ton seed throughout the state. Farm
ers awake to your duty, and If it can
be proven. on your ginner that he
will do such trick as this, We are
not in favor Of the boycott propo-
sition, but we do say that it is your
duty to let him and his gin sell out
to the oil trust and carry your cot
ton to those who will help to pro-
tect your interest.
This combination known as the
cotton oil trust of Arkansas
must be 'busted," and the way that
we can do it is to understand and
cooperate with each other with the
full and avowed purpose Of not sell
ing a ton of seed except that the
p!ice agreed upon by the organiza-
ton in Arkansas.
We call the attention to this evil
for the reason that n personal in
vestigation Of matters last fall dis
closed the above conditions to be in
practice in this immediate vicinity,
and we, therefore, warn our people
not to repeat the "slip-shod" meth
cd of handling seed that was prac-
ticed last year. The farmer should
control the price of his cotton seed
as well as his cotton. Therefore,
see to it that your ginners Go not
enter a combination that gives him
a bounty on every ton of seed that
he buys of you, and thereby enable
an oil trust to control the entire
seed market. Get busy, boys.-Ar-
kansas Union Tribune.

FIFTEEN-CENT COTTON THIS
YEAR.
EAR.

4
The cotton producers Of Texas have
their sights considerably elevated this
year, and it is a result that could
but naturally be expected from the
success attendant upon the improved
methods adopted for the marke citing
of the crop last year. 1t is only a
jump of four cents from 11-cent cot
ton to 15-cent cotton, and Is cents is
the figure aimed at for the coming
season according to Colonel E. S.
Peters, of Calvert, secretary and the
head of the transpor. alton and
freight committee of the National
Farmers Union, who says the farm
ers will be certain to obtain Is cents
per pound for their cotton this sea-
son. He gives the following reasons
for the faith within him:
"Many reasons may be assigned
for cotton reaching this point. First,
the crop is bad, very bad. Conditions
are worse this year than they have
been for years. The boil weevil, the
pest which has done countless dam
age to the cotton crop, is decidedly
more numerous than it has ever
been at this season Of the year. The
stand of cotton is bad, and so much
was replanted and at so late period,
that there will be great loss. Wealth
er conditions are responsible for this
state Of affairs.
"Among the spinners of the world
is an increased demand for cotton,
and the mills are running to their
greatest capacity to supply the de-
mand for cotton goods. Prosperity
abounds, and with the whole world
at peace, business conditions could be
no better. The cost of producing
cotton is greater, and other condi-
tiOns make it imperative that the
man who raises the staple should re-
ce1ve a higher price In order to make
a fairer profit. Fifteen cents a
pound is not too much. Labor is
scarce and high. Land, mules and
plows and everything else is going
up. Why not cotton? think the
mills will be perfectly willing to pay
15 cents, as the advance is only a
small fraction per yard on the cost
Of the production Of the manufac-
tured cotton goods.
"The union has been very busy
preparing to take care Of the crop.
Through its efforts the farmers will
be in a position to store their cot
ton until they can secure a satisfac-
tory price. West Of the Mississippi
river warehouses have been built with
a storage capacity Of 100000
bales. Fort Worth Telegram.

WHAT UNION HAS DONE.


Texas are united they are invincible.
These interests have stood together
and won great victories within the
past eight months. The issues on
which the Farmers Congress with its
allied associations, the Farmers I'm
ion. with its aggressive membership
and the staid and reliable Texas
Grange have presented a solid front
in demands made on the legislature
are:
l. A vigorous State Department
Of Agriculture, which shall be sepa-
rate from and independent of all
related depal tments. This has been
secured and $4,000 provided for its
support. Farmers Institutes will be
conducted by this department.
2. A Scalp Bounty Law that will
encourage the destruction of wild an
imals preying on our live stock and
poultry interests and dangerous to
human life This bill passed both the
house and senate with an ,appropria-
ton of 100000.
3. To make Agriculture a Requir-
ed Subject in the Public Schools.
This law applies to all public schools
in Texas except independent school
districts having more than three hun
( dred scholars.
4. An Act Validating the Diplo-
mas Of the Girls Industrial College
at Denton, for public school teachers.
The same action was sought for A.
& M. graduates, but was not accom-
plished.
5. The Anti-Bucket Shop Law for
the protection Of the cotton market
and in the interest Of good morals.
This passed and is death blow to
the cotton gambling interests in
Texas.
6. Appropriation Of $4,000 for
Live Stock Department at A. & M.
College.
z. Enactment of Game Warden
Law. This bill passed just at the
close of the session after being
amended materially.
The fruits of this farmers cam
paign are plainly in evidence. Things
Of great moment have been accom-
plished. The thanks Of Texas farmers
are due the earnest men who have
given their time, money and influence
to advance these issues and to change
resolutions into laws.
All honor to Judge Lee Young and
his associates on the Farmers Con-
gress Committee on Legislation. A
full measure of praise is due Judge
v. w. Grubbs, Of the Farmers Un-
ion Committee on education, and to

Union, who stood shoulder to shoul-
der with the other committees in the
bitter fighting and returned blow
for blow on the enemy. G. B.
