Farmers Educational
AND
Co.OperativeUni
OF America
Farmers Who Farm.

The San Antonio Express believes
that farmers organizations should be
only for farmers who farm, as will
be seen by the following:
An organization of farmers has been
formed at Indianapolis of representa-
tives of several states. which en-
bodies practically all of the basic
principles of the American society or
equity. A prime requirement is that
every member of the association shall
be a producing farmer, and this means
that the association will exclude the
political farmer who has a purpose
to serve that has no relation TO the
farming interests.
In the old days of the farmers
alliance the controlling factors in that
organization were not of the farming
class. Men who did not know whether
tomatoes we're TO be ciassed as fruit
or vegetables were active In the coun-
ellis of the alliance, and particularly
loud in their denunciation of the
wrongs done 10 The farmer. without
an idea of practical suggestion as to
the remedy for any of the real Ills
of which he complained. And so 1t
happened that The farmers alliance
quickly developed into purely poiiti-
cal association in which the greed for
office overshadowed every other con-
sideration. and not long thereafter 1t
went to pieces.
The Farmers Union, which now
boasts a large membership in Texas.
distinctly disavows any political char
acter and is neither putting forward
any candidates for Office of its own
nor giving the support of the organ
iZation to any political propaganda
now pending. 1t is seeking to aid the
cotton grower In the matter of secur-
ing better returns for his labor through
concert and cooperation Whether
its plan of operation appeals to the
judgment of the conservative business
man or may be regarded as visionary
and ineffective, there is no question
as to the sincerity OF purpose and the
ultimate good that may be accomplish
ed through persistent effort and
growing understanding of the prob
lens of production and distribution.
The ethics of equity suggest wis
dom and moderation along lines which
the night rider or the spirit of grasp
ing commereialism could never under
stand. Agriculture is largely the basis
of all prosperity, therefore the mer-
chant and the business man. the pro-
fessional man and the citizen gener-
ally must feel a keen interest in the
welfare of the farmer, but only the
practical farmer or the student of
agriculture knows the farmers needs,
as the farmer does or can be in close
sympathy with his efforts for such
improvement In farm life and farmer
aspirations as pertain to the every
day problems which confront him
on the farm.

Cabbaue Worms.

When the first appearance of the
worm is made the plants should be
busted with the paris green and flour
mixed When the heads are forming
use one pound of pyrethum powder
to four pounds of flour to dust the
plants. This is harmless to man.
After the heads begin to form paris
green should be used Those who
are afraid to use paris green are gem
orally successful by beginning early
to use the pyrethum powder and
spraying often.
Cabbage and other plant lice are
best controlled by spraying with
kerosene emulsion, using the 10 per
cent solution-a solution containing
10 per cent of kerosene. If the lice
are on trees, flowers or rose bushes,
tobacco decoction may be used with
good results. The tobacco decoction
is made by taking three pounds OF
tobacco stems and five gallons Of
water and boiling for two hours. 1t
is used without diluting, but must
not be applied too hot, or it may
seald the plants.
If treatment is begun in time, plant
lice can be controlled. 1t must be
done before the leaves are curled or
the spray cannot reach the pests.

Important Collateral Forces.

Some very important collateral
forcses have. since the election begun
to work in aid of the farmers, efforts
to advance the price of raw cotton TO
@ profitable level. and the monster
meeting of planters, merchants, bank
ers and business men held at
New Orleans Nov. Hip is hereby as
sured of a greater degree of co-opera-
tion and assistance than has been
counted on. These forces have their
origin among the spinners of both
America and Europe. and spring from
the fact that with Federal politics
out of the way the mills of the world,
and particularly OF the New England
and Southern states are preparing for
a great augmented trade. This means
an increased demand for raw cotton.
which in turn means greater effective
ness for such plans as the farmers

"Price is Goina Up.n

Harvie Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Association, speaking
at Atlanta, Ga, on the outlook for the
marketing of the present cotton crop,
said:
THE National election is past and
millions of dollars of orders for manu-
featured goods have been placed in the
last few weeks. Raw cotton will feel
the impetus given 10 other lines of
industry. While the ginners' report
indicate a larger amount of cotton
ginned to date than at any previous
period in the history of the Census
Bureau. the ginnings for November
and the succeeding months of the year
will indicate a heavy and continuous
falling off The total yield of this
year will. in my opinion. fall short of
the two big crop years of 1901 anG
1906"
Mr.. Jordan emphasized his elief
that the price of cotton will rise
speedily.
