The Farmers Union in the South
ern states has made continuous war
on the cotton exchanges. The fight
IN Oklahoma is being made on the
bucket shops. Not one man in
hundred knows the difference be-
tween a bucket shop and a cotton
exchange and they class them all to-
gether and make a general fight
against them The fight against the
bucket shop is a perfectly legitimate
fight for the reason that the bucket
ship is not a legitimate institution.
The fight on the bucket shop is not
made because it deprives the farmer
Of any thing that belongs to him but
because 1t is not a legitimate busi-
ness. The editor of this column does
not believe that the cotton exchange
can control the price of cotton and
until this is demonstrated we do not
see the wisdom of making n fight on
this class Of business. The farmer
can control the market by holding his
cotton and marketing 1t along at diff
ferent periods of the year when there
is a demand for it. When the Farm
ers' Union perfects its system of
marketing cotton the exchange will
die of itself and the exchange in no
manner stands in the way of the I'm
ION in perfecting its proposed system
of marketing cotton. If you have any
views you want to express on this
question we will be glad to publish
your letters.

The state of Oklahoma which is
taking the lead in many great prob
lens is also taking the lead in teach
ing agriculture in the schools. The
state educational institutions are to
have farms in connection where prac-
tical farming can be taught and the
time is close at hand when every dis
trict school teacher will be required
to possess "A knowledge of agricul-
ture and to teach 1t in his school. a
great advance has been made in the
system of farming in the past few
years and perfection has not been
reached yet. Until the system is per-
fected there is work TO be done to
make farming more profitable and
easier.
