Down in the coast country of Texas 1t was the settled opinion for many years that hogs could not be success fully or profitably raised, and if one did succeed in raising hogs, that the meat could not be cured there. That the idea was an absurd one was con- stantly being demonstrated over and over by hard-headed old fellows who had to be shown" and who year after year did raise hogs and save their own bacon and hams. Finally the people are beginning to come into try can one raise hogs so easily nor so cheaply. Food of the sort to make the finest meat on earth is indigenous to the South coast soils, and the win ters being practically nothing, the cost of taking care of them is simply that Of having room for them to run and seeing that they have access to plenty of water. What is true of the hog question is true of hundreds of crops that cant be raised" in certain localities. While it is true that every thing can not be raised everywhere, the fact is that the number of things that can be practically raised almost anywhere is almost unlimited It of ten happens that some standardization must be done, and varieties suited to the soils and climate must be sought; but this the work that the diversifi- cationist is now doing. Herein is the greatest work of the Union. Let us all be experimenters-al diversifica- tionists.

There is a great deal being said about the parcels post system, which is in general vogue in England and in Europe Some of the retailers see in the proposition the utter destruc- tion of the local stores, while it's ad
 vocates see in it the salvation of the country Neither of these views is guaranteed by the facts in the case
 In Europe, where economies that we have never dreamed of are neces- sary. the parcels system has not stood in the way of the local stores, and there were. In isolated localities such a system would be of benefit to those who wanted things that it would not pay the local store to keep in stock on account of the small demand, but when it comes to the bulk of pur- chases, the trouble of making orders, sending money in advance and wait ing many days for what was wanted
 with the prospects of the thing or dered not coming up to the expecta- tion, would make the parcels post a very small object in the way of com petition with the local stores. Taken as a whole, it seems that some sort of modification of the European plan of parcels post would be of benefit to the people at large, and that is the object of the government, or at least it ought to be. Taking that view of the case, this matter should have the attention of Congress right soon.

Any man with the sense to lead a blind goose to water knows that the farming class must unite in some sort of protectiye organization or else be- come the Slaves of the other organi- cations There is not a single line of industry or commerce that has not it's fine organization whose purpose is to get the best of the other fellows, and it is the farmer who has to do busi- ness with all of them, and all of them have special agents or committees to see that the farmer gets the hot end of the poker. This is known of all men. In the face of this condition, how on earth can one of us stand out and fight the best organization we have ever had? The Farmers Union, in it's short life, has done more than all other farmer organizations put to- gether. It had the advantage of all the other organizations, for it has had a day of organization to work in, and it has had the experience of the farmers organizations that\ have gone before and b1azed the way, pointed out the pitfalls and put us Ion notice of the slippery places.

The real Union man is above all else a reasonable man. He is willing to give and to take from his oppon- ent.

The advances made in the past few years in methods of evading drouths and in conserving the water fall of drouthy sections seem simply won- derful as compared with old plans and old ideas. The smallest amount of moisture, under the dust mulch sys- tenn, is now producing crops that are at once the wonder and the admiration of the world. Arid plains are produc- ing crops that were formerly consid- cred impossible of raising except in the most favored sections. Added to the methods of conservation of mois- ture, new varieties have been discov, cred and evolved which are suited to the dry conditions, until it begins to look like the man on the hitherto bar ren plains is about as well off for variety of crops as those on the lands of regular rainfall.
