POULTRY T-R|CH-QU|CKNGSS

Just figuring on a little
scheme to make some money, eh?"
1t was the Business Doctor who
spoke. well. take my advice
and quit it. Any time you want TO
take lead pencil and get rich
do it with chicken figures. ! know
of no way to get rich quicker. The
avorite way is to take 25 hens TO
start. The most conservative
estimate will make them lay 200
eggs each ION paper). so at the
end of the first year you will
have 5000 new chickens of which
it is usual to eliminate 1000
roosters, which you can sell at
half dollar each ION paper) Civ
ing you 1000 chickens and $500
for your first years profit.
1.-The second year you will get
5000 eggs. and if you take off
10000 roosters at so cents the
second year you have 100000 and
100000 chickens ION paper) |!
Now we will just start the third
year with I2,00O.000 chickens and
stop! If you follow the Abraham
begat Isaac, Issac begat Jacob
tho lght up to the fifth generation,
you can cover over every bit Of
dry land on the earth three feet
deep in chickens! Yet sad to
relate. of the people who actually
vo into the business, about one in
every two are bankrupt Def ore
the second seasons chicks can run
fast enough to catch an adult
rasshopper.
my reason for working out this
absurd problem is to show you
that man can make little money
drea ming over 'get-rich-quick'
schemes. Do something if you
want to make money. II is the
things We don't do rather than the
things we do which cause us
regrets In after years.
Action is the winner TN
passiveness the loser in the race
of life. The active man will make
a mistake and rectify 1t, while
tie passive one will be yet
wondering whether he better try
1t. Get busy.
This matter of passiveness Is
pure laziness when figured down to
It's last equation. You have a
hunded excuses TO not do things,
BIT not single reason. Re-
member the dilner given by the
rich man when the invited guests
all with one accord tcgan to
make EXCUSES? Some one else
ate it. That's just the fate of tire
excuse maker, the passive man the
planner in the business world
today. The man who produces
excuses instead Of results will have
to go hungry, while men whom he
considers his interiors will dine
sumptuously at prosperity,s table
and sit with legs crossed and happy
while he looks on and feels his
abilities unsppreciated. Cut out
the passive planning and excuses.
One poor plan executed is better
than q million good one limited to

The Society was compelled to
give up the fight. 1t declared
the pool off. Altho many indie
pendent growers had pretended
to believe, that the Society had
nothing to do with the high price,
inside of ten davs the price had
fallen half.
Then it was that the inde-
pendent growers began to get
busy. They made an effort to
organize. They held meetings,
they hired speakers. they spent
hundreds of dollars in advertis-
ing all to no avail. They had
lost their opportunity. One tenth
of the effort and expense on their
part. if used at the right time
would have secured the success
of the Society.
Much the same conditions exist
in this district this season.
While the S. ID. T. A. controls
more than rs per cent of the
tobacco and it realizes it must
have practically all if it stays in
business. We are speaking only
as an individual, but we know
that those who have been pool
ing with it are getting very i'm
patient at the action of those who
do not. They are going to throw
the whole thing down unless all
do their part. If you are a
tobacco grower and are not help
ing in this movement you are
losing the chance of a lifetime.
If the pool should be declared
off, and the many million pounds
of Association tobacco goes on
the market independent, we will
show you some of the liveliest
dumping" you ever saw. 1t
will be a case of every man for
himself and the trust take us all.

Decide The Question.
BY r. F. WHEELER.

There are many tobacco grow
ers in this County. who are not
members of the Association. 1t
is the time of year for you to de-
eide the question.
The Association will soon be
compelled to close its books, for
the season. 1t must make ar
rangements to handle the crop,
and must know how much to
prepare for. Itcannot take men,
bers after arrangements are
made.
That the growers of this Coun-
ty have legal right to stay out
of the Association no one denies.
You have a legal right to sell
your farm for half it's value.
Crittenden record-press., 1911-08-03

You have a perfect legal right
to refuse to help your nelghbor
thresh wheat. after he has help
ed you. We are confronted in
this life, by many duties that
are not enforced by law. They
are duties just the same.
Tobacco buyers, as a class, have
as much honor and integrity as
men of other occupations. He
who tells you differently is only
trying to incite your prejudice,
but they are going to get your
tobacco as cheaply as they can.
That is the law of trade. You
would probably do the same.
That the buyers of our tobacco
are organized no one doubts.
With the growers unorganized
it would be as easy for them to
get the tobacco at SO. as So. per
hundred. All who are familiar
with the situation know this.
1t is a easy matter for the so
called trust to give a good price
for a year or two. Then raise
the cry of over production and
get it for several years at half
its real value, if the growers
are unorganized. This was done
for several years before the Or
ganization of the Association.
But with all the growers of any
type of tobacco all in one organi-
zation-One good strong, we'll
managed, we'll financed organi-
zation, run on modern business
methods, as is the Stemming
District Tobacco Association, the
situation is entirely different,
1t is an easy matter for them to
maintain, not only a fair, but
also a uniform price for their
products.
That is why the growers of
this district organized the S. d.
T. A. Its success has been phe-
nomial. 1t has not only set the
price on its own product, but on
that of small pools, and indepen-
dent tobacco besides. 1t is the
hope, and only hope, under pre-
sent conditions, of the growers
Crittenden record-press., 1911-08-03

of this district. No other pool
can hope to get tobacco enough.
for years to come, to control the
market.
The Association is. in our op
inion, on much the best bust
ness basis of any farmers mark
eting organization, operating in
the tobacco belt. We know Of no
reason why you should not join
it in an effort to get the worth
of your crop.
That the Association has ene-
mics goes without saying. So
has any other live progressive
business concern, and it is very
much alive. 1t is the slothful
that begat no opposition. Peo-
pie do not throw stones at a dead
cat, neither do they pass resolut-
ions against graveyard.
In order to keep on the high
plans of usefulness, that it has al
ways occupied, it has been nec-
essary for the Association to dis
pense with the services of some
of its officers, and employees. AS
was expected some of these have
turned out since to be it's bitter
est enemies. We think that
people of this County, however,
are "on to" that kind of tactics
pretty well.
But we digress, the question
is, are you going to help your
self ond fellow growers, by pool
ing with the Association this
year? If so you must make up
your mind quickly. 1t will be
an easy matter to stay out as
heretofore, but have you reck-
oned on the results?
One year ago the Burley
Tobacco Society was in the fight
OF its life in an effort to get the
growers of that type of tobacco,
to pool up and help keep up the
price. The independent growers
refused to join. They put up
every argument, and excuse that
is being used in this district
