Urges FARMERS TO HOLD COIiON
President of Farmers Union ADVISES
Farmers to Act Cautiously.


Little Rock.-President Charles D
Barrett of the national organization
of the Farmers Union, in circular
letter 10 the members of the union,
urges them to hold their cotton ana
nor to DISPOSE of it too hurriedly. he
also suggests that the farmers finance
their cotton if they are IN urgent
need of immediate cash, by placing
their staple in warehouses and ad-
vancing il as collateral upon which
70 secure loans. In this connection
he also emphasizes the need OF the
union warehouse system throughout
the entire South, and appeals to the
union members to take steps to en-
courage the organization of the ware
house system in all sections.
Mr. Barrett SAYS that It has been
the practice among Southern farmers
for a number of years, either through
ignorance or Indebtedness. to sacrl-
flee large or small portions of the IL
nancial returns for their cotton TO
which the real value of the staple
entitled them. He states that the
rushing of the staple upon the mar
ket. regardless of the range of price
at the time. has depressed the mar
ket. congesting the staple and driv-
ing down the prices.
He urges that if a farmer is in
pressing need of money he shall Sc
cure a loan on his cotton and hold
for a better price.

EDUCATION AND VOCATION.

The Boston school board has estab-
lished a vocation bureau" the pur-
pose of which is to ascertain the con
t1ition. the needs, the natural tastes.
The hopes and plans, of the boys and
girls in the grades, in an effort to as,
sist them toward life work with the
least waste of time and effort. says
st. Paul Pioneer Press. Records are
to be kept of pupils for two or three
years before they leave school, show
ing 10 what extent their vocational
desires change and shift, and to what
effect they are likely to make wise
choice of their life work This is
but first step In a movement that is
growing all over the country for the
purpose Of bringing education into di-
rect alliance with livelihood If II
were absolutely known just what flu
lure employment a pupil was best suit,
ed for and most cared for, 1t would
be possible to so direct his education
as to save waste, both 10 the pupil
and TO the school. In England the
educational boards are cooperating
with labor exchanges and boards of
trade an an effort to keep track of
pupils after they leave school. and to
save them from falling into lines of
employment in which the money ex-
pended for their education by the
state will not be justified.
