convenience. besides making a very

On the first floor we have q good

FARMERS UNION AND COTTON
Every Farmer Should Reduce His
Acreage All He Can and Plant
Feed STUFF for Own Use.

The profits OF the cotton crop OF
1911 were swept away by what the
speculator called overproduction. Let
that be what 1t may. the crop OF 1911
cost the farmers more money than
they got out OF 1t. and 1t should carry
with 1t an object lesson that should
be very helpful in the making and
marketing OF the crop OF 1912. The
bitter experience OF last year should
be made an incentive for a perfect or
ganization OF the Farmers Union,
says the Texas Farm Co-Operator.
Every effort should be made to make
the organization perfect compact and
to put the organization In q condition
to battle for a legitimate price for
cotton during the coming season.
The farmers must not forget that
they are less able now to make de-
cisive stand than they were few
years ago. The failure OF the corn
crops last year has involved the ma.
jority OF farmers in debt. and these
debts must be paid as soon as the
cotton begins to move, or must be pro.
vided for In some other way. This
condition must not be overlooked. for
1t Is sure to come, and when It does
come. is sure to beat down the price
OF cotton and the poor farmer will be
forced to sell then at a great sacrifice.
The union can provide the means In
Texas to care for the great body OF
the cotton crop, and II the first cot.
ton is held of the market there is
sure to be brought about sharp com.
petition for cotton. but II the first cot.
ton to be gathered is suffered to 70 on
the market. there is sure TO be a sharp
decline that will be felt all the season
through.
The union did much last year to
strengthen the cotton market, and II
the work had been begun in time and
carried out vigorously all during the
season would have been much more
effective. The CoOperator brought
this matter before the people early
last year and urged immediate action,
and II matters had been handled In
time many millions OF dollars would
have been saved that was lost to the
people OF the south.
The time to perfect the organ,za.
ton Is now. ano every effort should
be put forth to put the organization
In the best possible condition for the
coming battle. for the people may ex.
pect that every effort will be MADE to
secure the next cotton crop without
paying a legitimate price for It. And
the only hope that the people have
10 perfect organization. and every
farmer should avail himself OF ,ts
benefits.
There is no doubt but what the
acreage will be reduced. and that
there will be much less cotton planted
this season than was planted last year.
But the farmers must not overlook the
fact that the present season Is much
more favorable than was the season
Of last year. SO every farmer should
reduce his acreage all he can. and
plant plenty Of feed stun for home
consumption. And II In the end 4
smaller cotton crop is actually raised
It will bring to the farmer more money
than the larger crop would do. so the
farmer should be wise this time and
be prepared for any kind OF nm emer.
sency that may arise.
