We e.Sw Food Crops to Eat and Feed to Stock.
We grow cotton not for the fun OF
it, but for the profits in it for us.
Now, we have over one million
farmers in our farmers organization,
aud we have come together for the
express purpose of saving this profit
in cotton growing for the grower,
How are you going to do ftp There
is but one way aud that is to stick to
your selling agents, "The Farmers
Cotton Union" You can never save
your profits by calling a million farm
ers together to do nothing but howl
the calamity howl.
You now have a fine start in the
way of linking the States together
for selling your cotton, and we are
feeling good over the fact that we
have some of the pluokiest men you
ever saw in the Farmers Union.
They are fighting the thing out to
the finish, and are saving money for
the growers right along. We have
the positive evidence ia our posses
sion to prove the facts that some
farmers have saved by this move
from ~ per bale up to IS in short
cotton and as much as $26 per bale
on long cotton.

Fertilizers for Corn.

W. have referred to fertilizers as
though we could not grow corn with
out them, but this is not the case, as
many have good lands that grow
paying crops without the use of any
fertilizer. If we had to confne our
choice to only one side application
we would apply nitrate of soda at
last cultivation.
Our observation and experience
with the Williamson method is that
planting the crop early and down in
the water furrow and the late side
application of soluble. fertilizers con
tributes more to the of the
Williamson method than the "stunt-
ing" of the plants.

not less than two ears to the stalk.

Il Pays to Stick 10 Your Own Men.

The Farmers Union can't make a
smart man out of q natural born fool,
but they a come as near doing it as
any other organization, if they will
only round him up among the crowd,
correl him in and move him along he
will count n of his size.
Every farmer makes his own rating.
The adult farmer il rated not by
what he says he is going to do, but
by that which he has already done.
The young farmer and the novice in
forming may receive respectful hear
ling as to what he intends to do with
out criticism.
But, young men, remember this :
Don't be about people know
ing who is doing we'll and who is not.
Every mothers son of you farmers
are at it every day, writing out upon
the ground your own reputation and
character, and if you are doing cred
liable work others will see it and do
your blowing for you without your
help.
Good farming tools and imple-
ments are comparatively very cheap
and will be ready and on hand for
work at any hour, while labor is very
high and unavailable. You may
have Is hands to-day, but you cannot
count on 5 of them for to.morrow's
work until they fall in line at work
time. Then don't make a mistake
by trying to save on the tools side
and paying big wages for very
worthless labor. Pay better wages
for better men and eve pay the
best price for poor laborers.
Some boys, and men, too, make a
big mistake in the difference between
smart tricks and mean tricks. All
such efforts are abortive as to the
original intentions. This kind of
cheap stuff fools no one more than
the m who starts out to fool others.
In other words, he that gets up these
mean tricks to fool others with in
these days generally fools himself.

INDEMNITY BOND
IS SECURED

In presenting his claims in favor
Of the Santa Fe cutoff bill several
wcegs ago, Representative J. r..
Bowman stated that the citizens Of
Amarillo would make an indemnity
bond of 100000 to secure the
citzens Of Armstrong county against
any damage which might actually ac-
cruc to them from the removal Of
the track from Washburn.
This matter takes definite form in
the indemnify bond that has now
been secured by the business men OF
Amarillo. The document provides
for the adjudication of all claims be-
fore an arbitration committee COM
posed wholly of unprejudlccd per-
sons who are to be selected by the
duly qualified state officials named
on the bond Whatever damages arc
allowed by the arbitration committee
will be paid by the business men Of
Amarillo and the signers on the bond
guarantee the payment. The total
guarantee liability on the bond would
reach the sum OF $3,OOOOOO, The
purpose of the bond is to make clear
before the legislature that the claims
disturbed by the removal of the line
are trifling and that the citizens Of
Amarillo are willing to stand the ac.
tual damage.

for the principle of goNernment own
ershlp OF the railroads. OF the coun-

roads were growing more arrogant
every day, ana that bit little If any
help could be expected from the new
rate regulation law, and that the
only hope was in government owner
ship. He might have added that the
managers of the big railway systems
were quarreling among themselves
as to the management OF the various
roads, while the people were being
slaughtered by the thousands in
railway wrecks, and were pleading
for cars over the various systems
to handle their freight That they
were also being herded together Ike
sheep, in over-crowied cars, and de-
layed upon their journeys, because
of insufficient rolling stock to han
die tho traffic of the roads. All of
these things Senator Patterson
might have added to his excellent
speech, The only solution of all
these railroad ills is government
ownership, and the next Democratic

will be popular one with the masses
