cotton crops and we can pro rata it
out to each of our creditors, and
they will gladly accept what we can
pay and stand by US and help US
through this great fight not to allow
this cotton to go as it already has
been. We will lose what we have al
ready accomplished during the past
few years, which will take US many
many years to regain.

fer. for / am not of that disposition.

have contended the whole season
that the present crop should be mar
keted around 14c, and had our people
taken hold of the situation as they
should have done in the early part
of the season, instead of getting &c
for cotton, it would be bringing
prices equal to those of last year.
Now, gentlemen, we have only a
few days to accomplish what I feel
that we are compelled to do, as it
will be too late after the mill men
and spectators have gotten hold Of
the bulk of the crop, to accomplish
anything. With three million and a
half or four million bales held firm
in the hands of men that will not
sell as the Farmers Union is advo-
eating over the entire Cotton Belt,
feel confident that before the next
crop is planted we can demand most
any price that we may fix.
l am not backing my personal
judgment in this matter, but mire
and some Of the best brain Of the
South. With these few facts before
you, l hope that the farmers and
merchants and all classes of men will
fall in line in this great fight and let
us accomplish and hold what we have
been 80 faithfully working for dur.
ing the past few years.
Again l repeat the hope that you
will see it as I do, or partly 80, and
let US stop this rapid selling. am,

Editor County Record

Editor County Record
Will you please allow me space in
your paper to say a few words to the
farmers and ali classes of men that
are interested in the prices of cotton?
Now, gentlemen, just here allow
me to ask you a question: Why is
cotton selling to-day from four to
four and a-half cents less per pound
than it was last year? Please stop
for a moment and ask yourselves and
see if you cannot solve this vital
question. dare say that every level
headed, well.balanced mind can at
once solve this question, and many
have already solved it, but are too
cowardly to advise the poor ignorant
farmers, and some silly merchants
who are striving hard to rush their
own crops and their customers crops
on the market as fast as it is gath
cred and ginned, thereby helping to
sustain the predictions Of few ten
cent buyers, who are only wanting to
get a little commission for buying
your cotton, and a few ten-cent trav-
cling men who want to sell few
goods and also get little commits
sion, by saying that this is the
bumper crop" Of the world.
Now, gentlemen, cannot see why
any well-informed man who has at
heart the welfare of his country can
allow such ridiculous impressions to
be made on the common minds of
our ignorant and foolish farmers.
admit that the crop Of 1911 will
exceed that of 1910 by small per
cent, but nothing to be considered
the bumper CROP of the world,
which to be so must exceed a fifteen
million bale crop. If not mistaken,
l think the crop of 1906 was consid-
cred the bumper crop" Of the
world, when about fifteen million
bales were made.
Now, gentlemen, we will take this
years crop from the Government
reports, which are always bearish
and invariably fall short Of their es-
tinate, and they have only estimated
this years crop at about l3,sO0, 900
bales. Is this q bumper CROP? I'll
answer this, No. Has not the yield
for the past nine..years without any
increase in demand been used?

and over, and / say that the demand
Is greater to-day than it was even
three years ago, with which all well.
informed will agree. Even the IT,.
0O0,0O bales were used and not .
bnle was destroyed, and the price
was forced from Sc to 10c IN the
middle Of the season, simply bv al
classes Of men Of business getting
together and fixing their minds and
opinions On one thing.
Now, gentlemen, lets see II we
e,nnot solve the question why the
prices are below the cost Of produc.
ing to-day. In 1910. 1t the first
ginners' report, Texas had ginned. a.
MY recollection serves me, over 5000
bales Of cotton more than it had
ever ginned up to that time. Why
had Texas gathered and ginned that
much cotton in the month Of Aug
ust? Was it because she had a
bumper CROP" No, Texas had a
short crop. as was proved when it
was harvested and ginned. But
Texas had q dry season and her crop
matured early, and with an extraor-
dinarily good season the picking was

other States of the Cotton Belt the
season was late and portion of the
worlds crop was held off, while the
Texas crop was being marketed.
That was for 1910; now, how about
1911?
Texas had the same dry season this
year that she had last year, and not
only Texas but every cotton-growing
State in the Union had compara-
lively the same dry season, thereby
putting it upon an equal footing
!! with the Texas season of last year.
The whole season has been remark
able one for gathering the crop
better than it has been for many
years up to this time-and every ef-
fort has been made to gather the
cotton as fast as it could be done
and force it on the market. This is
how account for the bumper" crop
and low prices, and l will dare say
that when the crop is harvested,
which will be in the early part OF
November, we will all see where the
bumper CROP will be. Should
we not get together as men with
some brains and business qualities
and stop the rapid selling of the
crop which is bringing nothing. it
will, if continued, demoralize all
manner of business for many years
to come. This is the way that ! see
it, and l have met with many othe 8
who are seeing it in the same way

am not thinking hard of the
mill men, for if l were in their place
and the crop were forced upon me,
as it is on them, / for one would
have the price much lower. Do not
blame them at all. The blame is
upon US poor ignorant farmers, who,
after working hard and toiling
through the long summer months,
have made the crop but are too ig-
norant to know - after God has
blessed us with fair crop-how 10
market it.
Suppose that every man in South
Carolina were forced to sell his entire
corn crop in the next thirty days
and all to a few moneyed men OF
the State-what would we derive
from this crop? dare say, not one
third of its valuation.
Now, gentlemen, we are ignorant
ly forcing the cotton crop upon the
market, while the few that are holding
the cotton crop of the world cannot
raise means by which to handle it.
Should the mill men mortgage every
thing they possess and raise every
dollar they could. they would not be
able to handle the crop in the man.

FORCING FOWLS FOR MARKET
Good Judgment and Proper Manage
ment Essential In Fattenlng
Poultry-koep Pens Dark.

To fatten poultry quickly and prof
itably requires good judgment and
proper management in the care Of
the fowls and proper feeding. The
best foods are bits Of fat meat,
mashes Of meal or fine grits made
from yellow corn, with skim milk;
boiled potatoes, rice and oatmeal and
milk. II anything. oatmeal is prefer
able because Of its greater heating
qualities and its effect on color or fat.
The main point to keep in view is to
fatten your fowls in the shortest
time possible. To do this they should
De in a coop or pen, where they can
not take much exercise, for by exer-
else they work OF flesh and keep
down fat. A good way is to confine
them to small, light coops made Of
lath or wire netting. These may sit
out in the back yard or barnyard, on
well.drained ground. In case Of rain
or damp weather cover them with
oilcloth. Keep the pen dark during
the daytime, except when the fowls
are eating, by throwing a thick COW
ering over the coOps, such as old
carpets, blankets or quilts. This will
prevent the fowls from stirring about
between meals. In the morning give
them boiled potatoes, mashed while
hot and thickened with corn meal,
with a little salt and pepper for sea-
soning.
They should be fed three times a
day, and their bill Of fare varied as
much as possible, but with a large
proportion of starchy heat and fat
producing articles. Very little green
stun should be given them, though
pumpkin or squash may take the
place Of boiled potatoes occasionally.
Fresh bedding should be supplied
frequently, and the coop and spot 1t
occupies should be kept clean. The
coop should rest on cinders, or on
gravelly or sandy soil, with bedding
of hay or straw. The coop being
light, 1t will be easy to move 1t to
q new place occasionally by a man
getting at each end and lifting 1t an
inch or so of the ground, gently push
ing the chickens along inside the
coop as it is moved, having prepared
the bed Of hay on the new place
beforehand.
Unless a hen is a very valuable
breeding fowl 1t does not pay to keep
her after she is two years old. They
should be marketed just before their
second moulting.
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1911-06-15

Regularity in feeding should be the
plan.
The hen that win not scratch is not
q well one.
Nothing gives q chick a worse set
back than pining for food.
Duck raisers pack 40 dressed duck
lings in a barrel for shipment.
1t is generally estimated that broil-
ers shrink about a half pound when
dressed.
Poultrymen make a regular practice
Of raising roots, cabbage and lettuce
for their laying hens.
The best food for sitting hens is
whole corn, with plenty Of pure wa
ter, grit and charcoal.
A loafer in the hen house Is not
a desirable companion for good,
strong, healthy, busy hens.
II there are two toms in the flock
and they don't agree, shut up one one
day and the other the next.
The turkey hen that ranges far
from the barn Is likely to steal her
nest a long ways from home.
Costly houses for the poultry are
not essential, but they should be
warm. dry and free from drafts.
Caponizing Is performed when the
birds are about two or three months
old-before the comb develops.
