Keep your dues paid, but if you
must neglect something, it would he
absolutely better to let the dues 90
than to miss the meeting.
How is the garden spot by this
time? It is not going to be long un,.
til the time for planting gardens. All
respectable Union men have a garden.
Get scared right now Of the mort
gage and stay scared until next Au-

this year.
Now that the schools are all open
again, it is a good time for the faith
ers and mothers to get acquainted
with the teachers and do something
to help make the schools better by
sympathy if nothing more.
Well, how have you started the

Let's prepare ourselves and take it.
A perfect understanding of the
producers means everything to them.
Prices will be stable and certain
whenever we get ready for the

Do you believe that our cause is
just? If so, go to work for it in

If the producers are to be free and
independent American citizens as
they should be, they must themselves
strike the blow They must change
the present system of marketing.

The injustice of making the farmers
pay a SPECIAL. TAX to run their
department is sufficient to condemn
any legislative body. But to take
their tax money and appropriate it to
sustain schools for the rich while
their children are deprived of even
common school education, is robbery

fact that the Farmers Union of
Texas is growing power in this state
and there can be no denying the
fact that has been established
throughout that it is accomplishing
a great work for its members
and the agricultural interests gen.
orally. That such is the case
is abundantly reflected in the hand
ling Of the Texas cotton crop this
last season, which was marketed to
a better advantage than ever before
in the history of the state. While it
is a matter of fact that the Farm
ers' Union did not control the mar
keting of the entire cotton crop, yet
Through the system of warehouses
that has been established throughout
the state, enough cotton was handled
to thoroughly demonstrate what can
be accomplished through organized
effort, and, at the same time, mate
rally affect the general result. The
farmers of Texas obtained better
prices and nearer uniform prices this
year than ever before, and in the
face of the apparent fact that the
total cotton crop of the country is
in excess of 100000 bales.
The executive committee Of the Or
ganization has just finished its an
nual meeting, which covered a pc
riod Of about one week, and the af-
fairs Of the organization were care
fully gone over and found to be in
the very best condition. At this an
nual meeting Of the executive COM
mittee it was determined that IA
Farmers Union cotton school shall
be opened in Dallas, July l, and con-
tinue in operation for a period Of
three months The object Of this
cotton school is to thoroughly drill
it's attendants in all that pertains to
the raising and marketing of the
South s great agricultural staple and
qualify them for successful cotton
raisers in all the term implies 1t
is intended to provide extensive and
elaborate quarters for this cotton
school, and these quarters will be
elaborately furnished for the work in
hand. The matter Of a competent
faculty will be taken up and arrang-
ed at the next quarterly meeting, and
some of the best talent in the state
will be engaged for the purpose.
At Houston the Farmers Union
has it's head warehouse as Houston is
the greatest cotton market in the
world, and reports to the executive
committee show a large and steady
business at that point. The bulk of
the cotton now stored at that point
is being held for a minimum price of
II cents, but in cases where instruc-
tions have been given to close out
holdings at 10 cents, President Cal
vim says orders have been faithfully
carried out. While the Union favors
the II cents minimum, it respects the
wishes of it's members and permits
them to sell at a lower price if they

Don't let a meeting Of the Union

There is something for each Of us

The success that has been attained
by the use of the split log drag in
many places in Texas and in Mis-
souri,, where it was first used in the
making and keeping of the public
roads in fair condition at all times,
ought to inspire every Union to take
up the matter and put the log to
work every time it rains. The thing
is so simple and so cheap that it
ought to go like wildfre.

The sensible way is not yet an ac-
complished fact. Much progress has
been made. AL sensible people who
have watched the good work done by
the Union are gratifed at the ad-
vance made. It is this class that
realizes the tremendous amount Of
cooperation, education and union
izing" Of efforts that yet remains to
be done.
There is no sense in building
100000 court houses for the official
class and for the comfort of the law
yers, when you have to pull the cot
ton to pay for them through the mud
belly-deep to the mules. Don't do
it: get good roads first, or at least in
sist that there shall be an even and
symmetrical development Of roads
with the public buildings. That
common sense, and common sense is
a thirg that is needed on the farms,
and should be sprinkled freely into
all sorts of politics.
Cooperation, education and union
of effort along the line of sensible
packing Of cotton is one Of the essen
tial things that ought to engage the
attention of all the Unions this year.

put on foot to introduce the use of
heavy cotton wrapping for cotton

Joe Newman Coming.

Whenever the Joseph Newman Com
pany is announced to appear the people
expect something good, something re-.
freshing, and they are seldom, if ever,
disappointed. There is something about
Joe that creates the good will and SYM
pathy of his audience no matter what
he essays. 1t is probably his genial good
fellowship that reaches out even over
the footlights. But much of his success
as an entertainer and singer is really
due to his zeal in giving to the people
something new. And this year he will
have two little farces that have been
especially written and never before
presented, and will have a number of
bright catchy up-to-date songs that he
knows how to sing most effectively.
Among the songs he will sing at the
Delta Opera, Wednesday, Sept 4, are

a situation arises, most persons will use
as much water on their orchards as
they can get, no matter whether it is
needed or not.
Then there is also the tendency to let
irrigation take the place of cultivation,
particularly in heavy soils. 1t is easier
and cheaper simply to let water run
than it is to cultivate. Unless the
ground is stirred at the proper time
after it has been watered, many soils
become hard, and it is difficult to work
them at all
When properly handled, any soil
which is suitable for orchard purposes
is always mellow and easy to work
but when a soil becomes puddled by
over. irrigation and lack of cultivation,
it is difficult to bring it back to its nor.
NAL condition.
This subject is one to which too much
thought cannot be given, and the better
orchardists now strive to use as little
water as possible.

Orchard Irrigation.

Now that the irrigation season is on,
it may be well to call attention to the
fact that trees and plants are as easily
injured by too much water rs by the
lack Of it. And observations made by
careful orchardists, the county horti-
cultural inspectors, as well as by the
workers at the Agricultural College, go
to show that more permanent damage
is done to orchards in this state by
over watering than by any other one
cause. The writer was present ut q
fruit growers meeting several years
ago when this subject was discussed,
and all were unanimously of the opinion
that they could get along with less
water than they were then using. But
at that very time, land in that vicinity
was becoming seeped, and the area
involved has steadily become worse.
Subsequent Investigations have shown
that the main source of the surplus
water has been from the excess used
by owners of the land. This goes to
show that it is easy to be deceived in
regard to the condition of the soh. Ex-
ternal appearances will not suffice. 80
the careful irrigator will be continually
testing the condition of his land by dig
ging down into the subsoil in various
portions of his orchard. 1t is true that
one man cannot tell another how to
irrigate his land but the cumulative
effect of bad management is soon
apparent.
There are many reasons why it is
easy to over irrigate. One Of the most
common seems to be that the average
person likes to think he is getting the
worth Of his money by using as much
water az possible. 1t sometimes hap
pens that there is danger of ditch 60

WATER FOR RODGERS
AND BARROWS MESAS
Newly incorporated Company Will
Expend $4,000 In Develop

Hotchkiss, Aug. 2l.-Rodgers and
Barrows mesas will soon be supplied
with all the water needed for irrigation
if the plans now being formulated by
the. Alta Vista Reservoir company are
carried out. This company has just
been incorporated by C. A. Fowler, E.
w. Kelley, F. W. Van Deren, J. w.

pany proposes to secure and develop a
reservoir site on the Leroux.
The reservoir will have a capacity of
1000 acre feet and is designed to help
out the water needs of Rodgers and
Barrows mesas. The following already
constructed bitches will carry the
water: Patterson, Allen, Leroux Creek,
Leroux Enlargement, Peterson, Karr
and Barrow, and any others found nee
essary. The head gate will be located
on the left bank of Leroux.
The cost of construction will be ga.
900; the proposed height of the dam is
so feet and the proposed length 1000
feet. The best of appliances will be
used in the construction and all work
will be of the best.
When this reservoir is completed it
will mean much for Rodgers mesa and
