ORGANIZATION IS THE NEED
Civilization Has Reached That Stage Where Generalization Is Necessary
 for Preservation.

We may decry the trusts and the combines as we please, may pass n effectual laws against them till doom day, but the fact remains that we have reached that stage in our civ ilization that centralization is an ab- solute necessity for our preservation, says Orchard and Farm A member of an organization, with the com bined power of all the separate units at his back, will succeed, while he who is determined to Ego it alone" without the power which numbers give, will be crushed beneath the on- coming organizations. This is true of the fruit business in California, as of all other forms of business else where. It has largely been in those classes which are organized that there has been success, or which have yielded their individuals profit for their labors; or even, we might say, have saved them from loss. The or ange men of the south have their splendid organization. They don't call it trust, because trusts are H. legal, but it works exactly on the same lines, and they receive fair remu- neration for their labor and fair in- terest in their investment. The fruit distributors in the north handle the fresh fruit shipments. and to a great extent have control of the markets, and the members of this organization have dividends. And so, all along the line. Just so far as the producers are combined, and just in proportion as they can control the markets for their products, just so far are they prosperous, and, by the reverse just to the extent that they endeavor to work along individual lines just so far they fail
 The raisin and the prune growers, representing as they do two of the most important fruit industries of the state, have endeavored for years to form some kind of a working or ganization, but too often have been swayed by outside influences to their detriment, and have not been suc- cessful, and, as a result, raisins and prunes go begging. and there is no money in them" The wine-grape growers have no organization, and some of them are selling their grapes at five dollars ton. The winemakers have a strong organization and are buying these grapes at a low price.
 The raisin growers are learning by hard experience and are now endeav- bring to organize a corporation to handle the bulk, if not all of the crop. It will not be a trust but it will en- deayor to control the raisin market, and get fair prices. It is proposed to organize with capital enough to handle the whole raisin crop, and then pack and market it from one central point. If this is done the markets can be exploited, new markets opened and there will be no overproduction of raisins and no surplus to feed to the hogs. Let one body, and that body composed of the growers them selves, have control of the crop, let it be handled from one central office and prices fixed to meet the demand Then let the demand be increased by proper exploitation, which can be done, and we shall hear no more about destroying the raisin vineyards and growing alfalfa.

UPS AND DOWNS OF COTTON
Government Reports Indicate Smaller Yield Than Last Year-Bluff
 of Manufacturers.

The recent tremendous slump in the price of cotton on the floors of the New York and New Orleans cotton ex- changes is not in the least surprising. Apparently enough, the price has been artificially boosted to the high figures touched during the early days of last week, says Baltimore American. The talk ef sending the price up to 20 cents by the operation of a southern holding syndicate was, of course, but a part of the windy crusade of the speculative boomers.
 The recent threat of cotton manufac turing plants up New England way to shut down their mills one day in each week because of the advance in the price of the raw material was also probably something in way of bluff According to Boston reports, New Eng land manufacturers controlling sev- eral millions of spindles had deter mined ts adopt this method. and the reports from the mill sections sur rounding Greenville, Anderson and Union, s. C., were to the same effect that is. that factory owners had de- termined to run only five days in the week during the nine months from the 1st of November to the 1st of August
 At the beginning of last week ouo- tations on the New York cotton ex- change scored higher than at any pre- vious period since the famous cam. paiGA when Sully wound up his spec. ulattve career. The government re- ports indicate that the cotton yield of the United States for the present wear will fah far shert of the yield of last year. But an advance of over 320 per bale heysnl the price that prevaileS at this time. 11 months ago vas not warranted by the existing conditions After all. there is . good deal of cot. ton that is net yet spun into cloth. and there is not . large probability that there will bs an underclothes shortaee between now and next July, when the 1910 creD will begin to How market. ward.

Green Feed for Hens,

In my estimation, the most impor- tant winter green feed for hens is clover hay, run through a cutting ma chine and fed dry, says a writer in Baltimore American. The fowls should have access to 1t at all times. Next to this, would place patch of rye, sown where the fowls can run in 1t when the weather is fit. Cabbage comes next. This should be hung by cord from the ceiling. My poultry yards are all sown to clover. and find the chickens will eat every stalk. Rye and cabbage are too loosening for a winter feed. I dampen and salt clover for fowls once a week and sprinkle bran and meal over this mix ture.

of fashion is due largely to the new
