Ottawa, Jan. 31.-The minister OF
the interior has decided to send a
number of Ontario farmers over to the
old country to interest the agricultur-
lists there in Canada. ontario is es-
pecially in want of farm laborers, and
it is thought the propaganda deter
mined on will result in meeting the
demand to a large extent. These
men chosen for the work VIII get 800
a month and expenses. A similar ex-
pertinent in the case of western Can
ada was tried some few years ago
with magnificent results, the mis-
sionaries from Manitoba and the ter
ritories arousing the keenest interest
everywhere they went.

Cotton and Cotton Seed Exchange.

Capt. B. w. Marston, state or.
ganizer of the Louisiana Division Of
the Southern Cotton Association, has
issued the following open letter to the
cotton farmers of the state:
At the late meeting of the executive
committee of the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION in Jackson, Miss, O resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted direct
ing the association to open at its
headquarters, as soon as there is
| sufficient funds in the treasury, spot
cotton and cotton seed exchange, to
combat the evil influences of the Liver
pool, New York and New Orleans cot.
ton exchanges in quoting southern
produced cotton and cotton seed to
the detriment Or ruin of southern pro-
ducers.
sour exchange will neither handle
spot cotton nor cotton seed, nor future
cotton nor cotton seed, but will quote
it's value for the Information of bona
fide producers, every legal day of the
year, as long as supported, and bring
the buyer and seller together.
ALREADY the gamblers of the New
York and New Orleans cotton ex-
changes, co operating with the gam
blers of the Liverpool exchange, are
hammering down future and spot cot
ton, with chalk and blackboards only,
so that they can control the price and
destroy the usefulness of the Southern
Cotton Association and it's ally, the
Farmers Union, in fixing the price of
cotton at Is cents minimum, basis
middling, aud cotton seed at $40 20
S25 per ton minimum, basis prime,
until conference can be had at At.
lanta, Ga, on Oct. 6.
TO org anize our exchange it takes
money, and this money must come
from the producers and their friends.
Their enemies will never put 1t up, be-
cause they want to buy cotton them
selves at 6, Z, 8, ., 10 or IL cents, and
cotton seed at $12 or less, so that they
can sell them at profit, over the
amount obtained by the producer. We
can protect you through our own ex-
change, just as the lumber people do /
through their exchange in ST. Louis,
Mo-, which is success and heroieally
supported financially by the lumber /;
people.
Louisiana has been selling her
cotton and cotton seed for $50, 900, 900
less than 1t was worth. To save this
fearful waste, $4,000 is only drop
n the bucket. We think all the other
cotton states, as soon as Louisiana /
las moved in this great work, will |
Ilso move, for they can't afford to sell
heir crops of cotton and seed for
SO, 900, 900 less than they are worth,
which they have done time and again.
We cannot afford again TO sell crop
# II 600, 900 or more bales of cotton,
