Big Revenue for Farmers.
1t also means that if the Farmers
Union controls this year, as we'll as
it did last year, In the sale of the
feecy staple, that two hundred mil
lion dollars have been added to the
revenues Of the cotton farmers in the
South Last year with the price at
IL cents, bale Of cotton was worth
fifty-fve dollars. With the price at
ID cents it means that a bale of cot
ton this year will be worth seventy
five dollars or twenty dollars more
per bale. This bases on crop of
only ten million bales.
In the event the crop exceeds ten
millions, there will be an added
wealth turned into pockets of the
producers.
"The Farmers Union will succeed
in getting the prices agreed upon,"
was the positive comment of Presi-
dent Barrett after the adoption of
the report. "You have only to take
a look backwards to see that the cot
ton farmers have learned we'll the
lesson of cooperation and mutual
agreement Three years ago we fixed
the minimum price at 10 cents. There
were some who believed the union
could not secure the price agreed up
on and these few sold at 6 or or 8
cents-just what they could get for
it. The result was that they sacri-
feed their cotton while the members
of the Farmers Union held to theirs
and got their 10 cents in every in
stance.
"The next year there were less
who had no faith in the Farmers I'm
ion. Last year the farmers had
learned that the price agreed upon
by us was the price that we got and
few there were who sold their cotton
for less than IL cents. With this
history Of the past, the basis for our
opinions, we are firmly convinced
that we will have no difficulty in
holding the farmers in line and that
all will obey our agreement"
Texas Sets the Pace.
The great cotton raising state of
Texas has set the pace in the price
movement. When the cotton began
to come in more rapidly than usual
this year, President N. J. Neill, of
the Texas state union, hastily con-
ferred with President Barrett, of the
national organization, and then is
sued general manifesto to the
farmers of his state, ordering them
to hold their cotton indefinitely rath-
er than sell it for less than Is cents.

ingly OF the outlook of the national
bureau of information which will be
operated under his supervision.
The most important work Of the
last days session Of the National
Farmers Union was the adoption of
the report Of the committee on legis-
latlon. The report provides for a
committee of three to go to Wash
lngton during sessions of congress
and there present to national iegis
lators the demands of the union, as
has been the plan in the various
states. The strongest men in the Or
ganization will be appointed by the
president and executive committee.
r. F. Duckworth, of Georgia, and
Ben L. Griffin, Of Arkansas, are spok-
en- of as probable members of the
committee.
Official Button.
Reports for other committees of
less Importance took up most of the
days time Of the convention. The
place OF the next national convention
will be fixed by the executive commit
tee. The button with Newt Gresb-
ANS picture on it was adopted as
the official button Of the order. This
button had been previously adopted
by the Georgia division. Resolutions
were passed looking to the copyright
ing OF a union label by the conven-
ton.
Davis is Honored.
q. NJ. Davis, state organizer of
Georgia, was selected by the nationa,
union to make trip through the
northwestern states in behalf of the
order.
j. M. Lee, state lecturer of Geor-
gla, delivered an address before a
large body Of Junior of Amer
lean Mechanics, which is in ses-
sion at this place, last night. Mr..
Lees speech was well received and
favorably commented upon.
Barret is Re- Elected.
There was enthusiasm over the
election of Charles S. Barrett as
national president of the Farmers
Union yesterday afternoon.
0. P. Pyle, of Texas, placed in
nomination the name of Mr.. Bar
rett, and j. L. Lee, of Georgia, Sec
onded it. Mr.. McCulloch, of Arkan-
sas, was elected secretary. Miller, of
Texas; Morris, of Alabama; Wilson,
OF Mississippi, and Jefferds, of Okla
homa, were elected executive commit
teemen.
The report Of the state business
agents shows that the cotton crop is
far below the average, and much
short of last year. In Georgia the
crop is 10 per cent off from last year.
In Texas, it is claimed, only 100000
bales will be raised. In the middle
gulf states the crop is very short.

place for the next annual convention.
The place will probably not be chosen
until the directors meeting in March,
although they could name the place
at any other meeting.
Want Good Immigrants.
A resolution on immigration, in
troduced by R. F. Duckworth, state
president of Georgia, places the Tn
ion on record as being opposed to
any and all immigration that will
bring an undesirable class Of citizens
to the United States. The farmers
claim they are not opposed to any
man who will come to this country
with view to making himself home
and bettering his condition. They
are opposed to the bringing Of labor
ers to this country who will VOL
for small wages and possibly create
discomfort.
The resolution was adopted after
much discussion. Some, it is said,
wanted to place restrictions around
immigration by naming exactly the
kind of people that would be desira
BILE. All were in favor Of adopting
a resolution showing the farmers as
a union to be opposed to the influx OF
cheap laborers.
State Business Agents.
The gathering Of the state business
agents at this convention was one of
the most important matters relatlvC
to the Farmers Union. They have
been in session almost continuously
and much Of the work of the conven-
tlon was mapped out by the business
agents. Owing to the illness of 2. r.
Parker, Of Alabama, chairman Of the
business agents, he could not attend.
j. G. Eubanks, state business agenr
Of Georgia, was elected chairman for
the ensuing year. In speaking to The
Georgian representative of the work

Eubanks said:
Uniform Bale.
"We have several important mat
ters under consideration, but one Of
the most essential is arriving at
uniform bale Of cotton in size and
weight. We have adopted a plan to
compress our cotton at our ware
houses, of which we have over 1000
