The reason why We don't have
more to say about growing crops is
because farmers are ahead on the
knowledge of how to produce good
crops. but miscrably behind on the
knowledge Of how TO market their
products.
We all can understand why an ov-
reproduction Of perishable crops in
variably terminates in loss to pro-
ducrrs! But in the case Of cotton an
imperiShablc article and one Of the
best collaterals, and a current arti-
Gle Of trade the world over should
not suffer deprivation in value if
producers have warehouse facilities
for storing their cotton.
Instead Of reasonably large crops
Of cotton bring less money TO pro-
ducers, as has been the case hereto
fore, it is one Of the prime objects
of the Farmers Union in the south
to now handle the selling end of their
crops by protecting themselves with a
strong system Of warehouses that
will insure cotton growers against the
unreasonable practice of getting less
money for good crops than We have
been getting for poor crops.

case OF fruit tree agent malady from
an unscrupulous agent he is in it for
siege of from three to ten years be-
fore he can recover. We have before
us positive evidence to establish the
fact that some of our best farmers
have bought and paid for-supposed
to be and some few were of-best
varieties Of apples and other fruit
trees. And after planting them in their
best soil and cultivvating some of
them for ten years and all the while
dreaming over the prospects Of the
luscious fruits shown to them in the
picture book by the fruit tree agent
when they bought 10 and behold the
confiding farmer who has labored
for ten years in good faith, reach
out and gather little seedling ap-
pie not larger than a hickory nut
that tastes like the bark Of the
tree. One farmer that bought
only ono extremely rare cher
ry tree" at high price is
now paying the penalty for his folly
by seeing fine crop Of barren chest
nut burrs grow on the tree where the
fine "rare cherries" ought to grow.
The remedy for this is to get to-
gether in your organization, find out
just what you want and make your
orders direct from reliable nursery
men at much less cost. Good reliable
nurserymen are to be found nowadays
all over the country that you run no
risk in dealing with direct, who can
not afford to guarantee trees that
pass through The hands Of these ir-
responsible agents who are known to
grow large stocks Of seedlings of
their own to mix in among good trees
from reliable nurseries.

Dear Sir: After our convention at
Greenville, where saw so much en-
thusiasm and determination on the
part Of the representatives, I feel
very hopeful for the future success
of our Union. While 1 realize that
conventions and conferences are
worthless unless their recommenda-
tions are carried out, unless the rep
resentativcs go home to their subs
and explain the intentions and pur-
poses Of their deliberations and there
by enthuse their members and get
them to think and act along the lines
mapped out.
think I see lasting good for us
by meeting together at Greenville, so
let's go TO work as we never done be-
fore-intelligently, Systematically and
persistcntly-to upbuild and elevate
the Farmers Union to a plane where
it will command the respect of the
business world and, after doing this,
prove our faith by our works and
make no demands that are not Just,
but show to every legitimate business
that we respect their rights and de-
mand that they respect ours.
With the fight which we have be-
fore us. with graft and greed which
has been and is, without one vestige
of remorse. stealing from us the
Just retwards Of our labor, it would
he we'll for us to remember that, to
the strong the battle, to the victor
the spoil, TO the swift the race and
to the devil the hindmost, so it be
hoovrS us to be up and doing-show-
ing to each individual member what
his duty as a union man is-that he
IS one cog in the wheel of unionism,
and that in failing to perform his
part he impedes the progress of the
whole machinery.
Let us place men in the Offices who
fill the measure Of man to the full
est extent. Men whose honor money
cannot buy nor politics pollute-not
men who place themselves on parade
like peacock in May and when the
show is over there is nothing done,
but men like the Hon. J. c.. Stribling

The Making Up of Good Men.

Our friends are here to tell us
about our good qualities and success.
Our enemies are useful to tell of
our bad doings and where we make
failures.
Our enemies shake the structure of
the very foundations of our charac-

and weak places that we may, with
the aid Of our friends, strengthen
OUT weak places.
In the development and training up
of our leaders the Farmers Union
both enemies and friends are useful.
