farmer of any other State in the Union.
Or he did in 1900. 1t is possible that
he is still doing as well or better. The
census of next year will tell the tale.
The average return for the whole coun-

that of the Southern states, 25 per cent.

Marketing Farm Crops.

AnaAhStihS aim NhoPos
He is splendid farmer who can make
his land average a bale of cotton or
forty bushels of corn to the acre. He is
a whole lot better farmer if he can mar
ket this crop to the best advantage, re-
ceiving the top of the market for what
he has to offer. 1t is just as important
that good price be realized for the farm
product as it is to produce it. The Union
is emphasizing this feature, and a great
deal of its work has been in that direc-
ton. The warehouses that have been
built were for the purpose of caring for
the staple properly and bulking SO that
it could be offered buyers in large lots,
hoping to receive better price thereby.
The federation of warehouses now being
worked out is for the purpose of placing
all under one management, locating men
in the spinning centers, and selling di-
rect to the manufacturer, and saving the
profits of several middle men.
These are movements of the greatest
Importance, and it is to be sincerely
hoped that they will result in the good
expected. Five dollars per bale saved by
caring for the crop and selling to an ad-
vantage would be worth more than sixty
million dollars to the people of the South
annually. Just that much money in their
pockets more than they are getting now.
Are these efforts not worthy of the sup
port of all citizens, makes no difference
what their occupation, living in the great
cotton-producing section of our country?
Certainly they are, and those who are
not on the farm owe it to themselves
and their families to help push them
along instead of hindering and throwing
obstacles in the way.
1t is gratifying to note that such
great number of people in the various
lines and professions are encouraging
and aiding this movement. If it wins,
all will be benefited, and there is every
reason why it should win. Help it along
in every legitimate way, for the benefits
