PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT.
California Cactus Blows Around the
 Desert for Months.

Curious among vegetable growths and one which is seldom seen of men is the rootless cactus of the California desert, says the Techincal World This plant, a round, compact growth, rolls about the level floor oe the des- ert for some eight or nine months of the year, tossed hither and yon by the winds which blow with fierceness over all of CalifoYnia's sand plat dur ing those months.
 At the coming of the rains, or rather the cloudbursts, which sweep the desert in its springtime, this cac- tus takes root wherever it happens to have been dropped by the last wind of which it was the plaything and inn mediately begins 10 put out all around it small shoots, which in turn become cacti, exactly like the parent plant.
 These young growths increase in size rapidly, sucking the moisture both from the parent plant and from the surrounding earth. The roots do not penetrate the soil deeply, but spread often over .circIe whose radius is not less than ten feet These roots, too, are small. but practically innumerable, and they get every bit of moisture and plant food to be had jn the territory they cover.

Figures Show Farmers Prosperity.

The remarkable progress in power of production in the agricultural world was uniquely summed up by the president of the National Farm CTS Congress, MT. John Stahl, in opening his address at the last annual convention at Rock Island, when he said:
 T congratulate you, as representa- tiYes of the United States, on ma terial prosperity. To the nations production the farmers of the United States this year contributed six bill lion dollars.
 We hear much of the Standard Oil Company, and it's wealth, but our annual exports-not production, but eXport-of cotton alone has a value four times as great as all the petro- leum produced in the United States in a year.
 From the attention given disturb sider that coal is very important production i'll this country.
 But year after year the farm prod ucts of the United States have on the farm a value more than sixteen times the value at the mine of all the coal dug in the United States.
 We have become the greatest pig iron producing country in the world, yet each year the grain of one crop corn has value five times greater than all the pig-iron produced in this country.
 Why, the corn grown each year by the farmers of Illinois alone, has Yalue about equal to our entire pro duction of pig-iron.
 Every time our miners dig a dollar from our gold mines, we farmers dig $70 dollars from the ground, and every time our miners dig dollar of silver from our mines, we dig $165 from the ground.
 "The farm products of the United States have value more than twelve times greater than all the gold and silver mined in all the world
 With their products of one year only, the farmers of this country could buy at par all the stock or ali the national banks of the entire coun- try, not once or twice, but eight times over, and they could pay all the wages and salaries in our great iron and steel industries thirty-four times and have money left.
 During the past sixteen years our exports of all articles have exceeded our imports by s5,092 100000. In the same period our exports of farm products exceeded our imports of farm products by $5,635,O 100000
 "The farmer is responsible for our enormous favorable balance in inter- national trade.
 "In all the world no other class in any country produces as much wealth as the farmers of the United States"

Another Lesson for the Farmer.

The International Cotton Fedora ton, composed of manufacturers of cotton goods in Europe and America, held it's fifth annual congress al Paris in July. Although this organization was begun in 1894 and at first pro- fessed to be for the purpose of en- couraging the production of raw cot ton in Europe and Africa, il was cer- tain that it would not stop at that. The main purpose of the federation is now made clear in the following resolution, which was adopted last month
 Resolved, That whenever there is a lack of raw material, or when the manufactured articles exceed the de- mand of any country, the adoption of short time running mills is the only real remedy; and that all asso- citations be requested to perfect their local organizations in order to put short time into operation whenever it may be considered necessary
 Here is a fresh object lesson for the cotton farmer. While he talks sentimentally about his duty 10 grow all he can and supply the world with clothes, the manufacturer gets down to business and resolves that when ever there is lack of raw material or when the manufactured article eX- ceed the demand" he will run his mill on short time. No sentiment in the proposition 10 him. No matter that famines or floods have made the peo- pie too poor to buy all the cloth he can manufa facture-rather than supply it at a lower price he will run his mill on half time.
 This is the system by which all in- dustrial trusts control prices. They curtail the output at the first intima- tion that the demand for their goods is not keen. The labor organizations are conducted along the same lines. Nobody, these days, but the cotton farmer, tries to produce all he can for market. And the farmer could be the most independent of all, if he would learn the lesson of keeping the world hungry for his products by limiting those he has to sell and raising full supply of those he consumes at home. Then 8 better system of marketing will supplement this and bring the prosperity the farmer deserves.

Farmers Educational
 -AND-- Cooperative Union Of America
Our Mainstay, the Farmer.

Let trusts and corporations burst Like bubbles in the air, And every Bull i'll Wall streets length Be swallowed by a Bear. The land is safe, whiie rising up At cock-crow H the morn The farmer drives his furTow straight And plants his golden corn. Let banks close up their iron doors, And bank officials flee With all the trusting public's cash To lands across the sea. There's nothing in the world to fear, We'll have enough to eat, While in his broad and fertile fields The farmer sows his wheat. Though railroads should forget to pay Their dividends when due, And men promoting wildcat schemes Look very glum and blue, There is no need to feel alarmed (Remember what I say) Unless the farmer should forget To gather i'll his hay.

When the Minister Scored.

A country clergyman, while recently advocating the support of a charitable object, prefaced the circulation of the plate with the following address; messed in your countenances, there is only one thing l am afraid of-that some of you may feel inclined to give too much. Now, it is my duty to in form you that justice should always be prime virtue to generosity; therefore wish to have it thoroughly understood that no person will think of putting anything or the plate who cannot pay his debts The result was an overfowing collection.

The Function of Ware houses.

l am glad to see the boys presenting the proposition to store cotton at home and market through the ware houses. 1 hope some good ideas will be forthcoming. This is very deep subject, my brothers, and you will do well to give it your best thought and not jump at some hastily cOncocted theory Two things you must bear in mind: Shylock will always be well pleased if you will so arrange your products that will enable him to levy d tax against them-$3, 100000 insur- ance on the Texas cotton crop is sweet morsel. Money borrowed on cotton certificates is quite an adjunct, and is just a new method of letting the other fellow eat your cake while you hold it.
 The paramount question with the farmer is, How Can 1 Avoid Interest and Rent?" and with Shylock, How Can I Get Interest and Rent? When the farmer bulks or concentrates his products in any commercial center, dependent on others than himself for protection as to it's safety, this affords an opening for taXation-by the other fellow.
 If you don't expect to market all your cotton in one, two, three or four months, nothing can be gained by storing it in either your local or cen tral warehouse. We need ware house, however, ill every railrad town, or central shipping station. Your warehouse should be large enough to Rold say from one-tenth to one-half the cotton tributary to such shipping point.
 If you don't expect to eat whole years rations at one meal why cook it all at once? Do you want a bread pan large enough for fifty when there are only two in your family?
 How many farmers do you think would market through a warehouse system if you could cut out from two to eight months storage and insur- ance? I know few

Marine insurance.

Marine insurance is the oldest kind of modern insurance. It's principles were first employed in the fourteenth century by the merchants of Barce- Iona, in Spain, when that city was the capital of the kingdom of Cata- lonia and when it's hardy mariners were second to none in the world. About the same time, and also at Barcelona, the famous code of mari time laws known as the "consulado del mar was promulgated, which is the foundation of the present shipping laws of every country.

Learn How to Sell.

Alone the farmer has no more chance with the market combine than d rabbit has with a hungry bulldog. Collectively he may hold his own and get fair price for his product.
 Figure a bit: Five cents a bushel added to the price of wheat means a gain of $1 to $1.50 per acre. One-half a cent per pound means gain of $5 in every ] 1000 pounds of beef or pork or mutton. Cooperation in selling will bring these advances and more.
 Twenty-Five cents bushel added to the sweet potato crop in four years has raised the growers of Tidewater county Virginia, from poverty to re- spectable wealth. Southern cotton growers have made $3,000,000 year clear profit above the average by sticking together. Organization is the "big stick" of commerce and it is time for farmers to learn 10 use it.
The Green Forest tribune., 1908-09-18

If the farmers undertake to finance their cotton through a certificate plan their greatest opposition may be expected from the bankers, who can issue bank scrip based on their promise to pay, or banknote currency based on watered railroad stocks and bonds. But the merchant who ac- cepted bank scrip last year will find himself hard pressed to give any good reason for not accepting cotton scrip this year.
