Independence Of the Farmer.

A good deal has been said about the
independence of the farmer. This Is
only true to a certain extent. The
farmer who follows Investigation OF
crops. raises all his food products and
lives at home is more Independent
than the one who depends upon cotton
or grain alone and has to buy his liv-
ing. But the farmer, unorganized,
does not fix his freight rates or the
price of the products of the farm. The
organized transportation companies
and the organized buyers do this.
True the market conditions In some
localities are such that the farmer
receives the top price for the products
| of his farm. This is the case to some
extent where farms are located near
large cities where the supply does not
equal the home consumption. But
even then he must compete with prod
ucts from other farms not so con
v~eniently situated and whose products
are shipped in by buyers In car load
lots. and at rates not given to small
dealers. The whole situation calls fol
organization throughout the country

Cleanliness.

This church, like many another one,
had had trouble about pumping the or
gan, and the plan of using water
power was gladly adopted. Connec'
ton was made with the pipes OF the
rectory, which stood on the adjoining
lot. All the preliminary tests were
satisfactory. On the Sunday morn
ing when the apparatus was to be
used for the first time at a regular
service the organist arrived early for
a final trial. There was not a hitch.
The congregation generally knew OF
the innovation, and awaited the open
ing strains of the professional with
uncommon interest. Not a sound came
from the organ, however, and the
choir had to march in singing the
hymn as best it could, unaccompanied.
OF course the disappointment was
keen.

Her Answer.

An Atchison girl had a proposal OF
marriage Sunday night and asked a
week to think it over. She went to all
of her married sisters. One, who used
to be a belle, had three children, did all
her W work and hadn't been to the
theater or out riding since she was
married. Another, whose husband was
a promising young man at the time
she was married, was supporting
him. A third didn't dare say
her life was her own when her hus'
band was around, and a fourth was al
vorced. After visiting them and hear
ing their woes, the heroine OF this lit
tie tale went home, got pen, ink and
paper and wrote an answer to the

First Lesson in Cooperation.

This matter of cooperation among
farmers is not merely n of market
ing. 1t should begin before the first
seed is placed in the ground. II the
farmers would control marketing, set
a profitable price on their products,
give effect to the pledging plan and
central selling agency, they must plant
in~telligently and comparatively as well
as market so. The two most bearlsn
influences on prices of farm products
are a noticeable increase in acreage
in a given product and early, rapid
selling. Even before any crop is all
planted the estimated acreage to be
devoted to it will have it's action upon
the markets, and if that estimate be
erroneous, especially if it shows an
increase, it will require months to
overcome it's bearish effect.
With this in mind the necessity for
cooperation in planting is very clear.
If it is thought wise to reduce the cot
ton acreage by planting more Feed
stuffs it will do no good for A to re-
duce 25 per cent. If B is going to In
crease his acreage Is per cent. More
over, it is manifestly unfair to A to
stand all the reduction and B stand
none. Therefore the proposition re-
solves itself into this: That II 1t Is
for the general benefit of cotton farm
, ers to curtail the crop, the man whe
). knows this and does not do his part Is
an unfair and unjust man. Every
man owes it to his neighbor to be JUS
as honorable to him in this as he Il
in paying his debts. 1t is just a
wrong to take advantage in plantin.
as it is in taking part of what one
neighbor produced at gathering time
n . Let all cooperating farmers begl
now to preach this doctrine. Talk ]
at the school houses, at public gather
ings, in the homes and everywhere
until the public conscience is tho
!. oughly aroused on the subject.
And then make it general all dow
the line, and not only among farmer
but the farmers with their friend
