JUDGING BY THE RESULTS.
Villagers Conversion Had Not Been of
 Great Avail.

'In our business we get many doubt full compliments, said Col. John F.. Bishop, deputy surveyor of the port, the other day but l do not think I ever received a compliment such as my grandfather got down in my native state of Tennessee. My grandfather was a minister and I was very small boy when we both strolled down the road one day. One of our fellow vil- lagers came along toward us.
 "'Good morning., said the villager, who apparently had looked upon the cup. I-sh conver-hic-ted. parson, he stammered with difficulty. An twashyou-hic-tha con-hic-con- verted-hic-me'

LEARN TO GRADE COTTON,
So That You May Know What You
 Sell.


 Congressman Albert Burleson of Texas has a bill pending in Congress to instruct and direct the National Az ricultural Department to appoint commission of experts to prepare a table of grades for cotton, not to ex- ceed thirteen in number, these thir- teen grades, middling being the basis, to be the official ruling and legal grades in all cotton sales and trans actions.
 President Roosevelt, in his message to the Congress when it met in regular session last December, recommended the enactment of a law establishing an official and legal grade table for grain, and what is right, proper and good for grain is right, proper and good for cot ton. The principles involved are iden- | tical and the necessities in the one in. stance are as imperative as in the other.
 Every market has it's own tables and systems of grading farm products sold by grade and every buyer has his sys tens and methods, all of them wholly one-sided and arbitrary and rendering the producer defense,ess to save him. self from being imposed upon, if any one should be desirous of taking ad vantage of him. It certainly seems to l be eminently fair and just that the government should fix legal systems that cannot be deviated from nor changed, save by the government ,t self, the power creating them. How many grain growers, how many cotton raisers, old or young, can sam pie and grade their products? Are they not always at the mercy of the buyer, whoever or whatever they may be, as to the quality of their goods? A farmer would be ashamed of himself if he couldn't examine horses mout and tell it's age; look over it's body an limbs and detect all it's blemishes spavins, windgalls, etc, or tell abou its eyes; or be ignorant of the things he should know when he went to buy milch COWS, or beef cattle, or hogs Then, why should be be ignorant or the quality of his wheat, or corn, or oats, or cotton?
 The Farmers Union saw the point early in it's life and began the move ment to educate it's young men along these lines and established cotton grading schools in the South. Now we see the business colleges advertising a cotton grading department in theii courses of study. Really, the agricul tural colleges of the Sta-as ->-'-'-s teach tAAC--e ...--e-. IhrOugh the CT forts of National President c. s. Bar rett the agricultural college of Georgia has added the grading of cotton to It's curriculum. Every agricultural col lege has its textile department. and the grading of cotton could readily be made part of the course of learning in these departments. Each one of these colleges also teaches it's students how to grow grains, and it would b. very easy to add how to grade them. Especially will it be easy for these col leges, for the business colleges and for the Farmers Union cotton schools to teach these things if the government will establish fixed grades so tha! ing the same ing.-CO-Operator.

Farming Is An Intricate Business.

That's Riqht: Let 'Em Run It.


 It seems that of all the most foolish things we have ever heard the most foolish is that member of the Farm CTS Union had a right to open his mouth about any political question Now, the idea of man trying to claim his rights as. free-born American citizen. We must not discuss any DO Htical subjects for educational pur- poses, or for any other reason. We must simply pass our resolutions, but leave the law-making and executing of the laws to the other fellows-they are smart, we are not; they know what the law ought to be, We don't. we might pass a law that would help us. and keep them from sucking the public treasury and cause political s,ir leave that to them: it's their business. All we have to do is to pay the bills let them make the bills. They don { make them according to the constitu- tion every time, but what difference is it? They can call a special session. It doesn't cost but s50,000 extra-.and change their laws to suit We must not monkey with politics! Why that would be trespassing on the rights cf others; as for us, well-we needn't have any rights-just go on and re- solve, but don't say politics; don't say country schools; don't improve the county roads; don't diversity your crops-but go right on in the same old ruts and be happy and forever more contented.-The Farmers and Union Guide.
