Following is the table:

A study of the above statistics
will show the great need of di-
versihcation of crops, and l want
you farmers to remember that
the cotton you raise in 1909 is
now already priced at less than
Q cents. With this fact before
you why viii you keep on in the
one crop system? The man who
diversifes his crops is a public
benefactor to his country, feeds
his family better, educates his
children better, and when he
crosses over the river, people will
moan over his departure.

INVESTIGATION OF CROPS
Advocated as the Surest Remedy For
Eight and Nine Cent Cotton.

How is the farmer to be able
to price his cotton and get the
price he puts on his staple which
represents his labor? There are
three things essential. First, or
game yourselves; second, CO.
operate; third, diversity your
crops so as to make home self
supporting. Raise corn, wheat,
oats, horses, mules and more live
stock, so as to make manure to
enrich your land, and quit buy
ing SO much commercial fertll-
lzer, in order to stay out of debt.
The above system will free the
farmers of the bondage they are
now in, for the cotton that has
been sold up to the present time
has been sold at or about the
cost of production. The spec
ulators and the manufacturers
are saying to you that you have
been making too much cotton.
Now, let's take them at their
word and reduce the cotton crop
next year to twenty-five million
acres and plant the other eight
million acres in food supply
crops. This would make about
nine million, three hundred
thousand bales and the farmer
would get as much money for
the nine million, three hundred
thousand bales as we will get tor
twelve million, FIVE hundred
thousand bale crop. Just remem-
Der, farmers, when you make
more of product than you can
control, someone else will take
it at your expense and manage
it for you for their own interest.
Now, everyone knows that cotton
is not on parity in price with
anything else. A suit of cotton
clothes that you could buy three
years ago for $40 now costs you
SIS. Cotton should have sold
the whole season for twelve cents
from the time the first bale was
ginned. Now, who is to blame
for it selling at from 81 to 9
cents? Nobody except the pro-
Queer himself, and do not put
the blame on anyone else, for
the farmers have forced it on the
market faster than the specula-
tors wanted it. Never will the
farmers be able to get their
prices until they make home
self-supporting and market the
cotton crop as the world needs
| it. 1t takes twelve months to
make a cotton crop and we must
take twelve months to market 1t
at profit to the grower. Broth
er farmer, it is in our hands to
remedy this evil if it is ever rem

it the sooner it will be done.
Remember three things to be
done: First, organize; second,
cooperate; third, diversity crops.
Remember, this is a day of or
ganization and all professional
and business men are organized.
The farmer is beginning to real
ize that he is forced to do like
wise for his protection. l will
give below the following Stats
teal report taken from the cen-
sus report of 1900, showing the
number of bushels of corn, wheat
and oats per capita to feed each
person, horse, mule and hog in
the cotton belt states. | ask you
for a close study of this report
and you will see why cotton is
selling at 81 to 9 cents. l
want to urge everyone who has
not sold his cotton to hold on to
it until the price goes up. You
may rest assured that the farmers
over the cotton belt are going to
diversity crops next year and
this will mean reduction of cot
ton acreage.

MIR. GREENS PACKAGE"

tributed hands Hon. Reed Green /
nice little package" tais morning. OH
| the score OF his address at the Mer
chants Luncheon last Saturday; and
he hands the business men OF Cairo
a little package" that is not so nice,
on the score of their evasion of jury
service and service at elections.
The Bulletin has much respect for
the opinions of its correspondent, and
II will yield to no one In respect for
Mr.. Green. recognizing him as a man
of fine ability as an attorney, as an
orator. and Of high character as a cit
i2en: aud it is willing also to concede
that there is much merit in the com
plant so far as lack of active inter
est in elections Is concerned But The
Bulletin can not bring itself to admit
that the great evils in our circuit
court-the gross miscarriage OF jus
tice in criminal cases, more especially
are due TO the neglect or refusal uf
leading citizens to serve on juries.
II seems to The Bulletin that to ac
cept this view is to permit ourselves
TO be lead away from the real cause
of the evil and 10 waste our energie9
in fighting a phantom. Does not our
correspondent know. does not Mr.
Green know, that it lies entirely with
the men who summon the juries AMI
with the court. and with the attorney
in any given case, whether or not
business men or loafers or rogues are
on our juries?
Do they not know that business
men can be compelled to serve on
juries If the men whose business it is
urder the law to make up our juries
20 desire?
Mr.. Green's complaint against the
county commissioners that they have
made up the regular panels from a
class Of men who We're not such as
the law prescribed was perhaps the
strongest passage in his address
aid was good as far as it went,
But what about the judges who eX
rusa business men from service onI
pleas that are not valid under the
law?
What about the attorneys who re
sort to all manner of tactics 10 ri
themselves of business men when
these are offered for service?
Why do not the men in authority in
Dpr courts and in other branches OIL
exercise the power
which the law gives them. for what
they know to be the good of the gen
rral public whose servants tho orr. /
