FACTS ON GIN COMPRESSION

Rather Thoroughly.

Senator Sheppard's efforts to have

and disseminate more information
about gin compression are most excel

book of the department OF agriculture
of 1912 goes into the subject rather
thoroughly and remarks that:
The gin plant is the vital point in
the cotton handling situation and of,
fers an effective agency through which
to bring about improved conditions
Wellorganized, responsible co-opera

elements of cotton trade, can ulti

PLANS TO AID THE FARMERS
Commissions Of All Sorts Studying
Problem Of Marketing Farm
Products to the Consumer.

To Offlcials and Members of the
Union:
You can't pick up a paper these
days without seeing something on
marketing plans to aid the farmer to
get his produce to the consumer with
out the great difference In price as
between grower and consumer. Com.
missions of all sorts are studying this
problem. Individuals. corporations,
lawmakers and societies have the one
and only scheme.
1t is all mighty well; much of 1t all
is very edifying. With so much dis
cussion and planning and ,scheming
and uplifting beneficial results must
result. So much agitation can not
take place without getting people to
thinking. and after while. with
thinking along right lines, real results
may come.
But 1 want to burn into your brains
this idea, which l have stressed long
and persistently--that the farmer
isn't going to get any adequate, pracI
tical, Worthwhile marketing plan un!
til he works 1t out himself. More
over. he won't accept anybody else's
plan, and know it. as you know it.
If he does accept any semi-benevo.
lent scheme in that direction, he
won't stand by 1t. know 1t, and you
know it. 1t is best usually to be blunt
when the truth is to be told. because
to softsoap and palaver gets nothing
but contempt in the end. l believe
the vast majority of American farm.
ers know now that l am their friend
all the time. and that have no axes
to grind save their axes.
So will stand forth and tell you
the solemn facts, as l see and under
stand them, as l see and understand
you. You are not going to get your
emancipation, your freedom. your
rights. through commissions, through
individuals, through corporations, aye.
even through your great government.
1t must come from your own efforts,
your own organization, through plans
formulated within your own ranks
and, believe, through the Farmers
Union.
Do; not understand that l minimize
or would stop others in honest and
genuine endeavor- to solve your prob.
lens and get down to tangible.
workable, common sense plan for
marketing. There are many unselfish
and noble spirits at work, and. as
have stated, by the nationwide agita.
tion over marketing. good is bound to
come.
But you are arbiters and masters
Of your own destiny. Work out your
own plans, or let such plan come as
the solid. concrete action from your
own folk. Then, when it is In definite
form. stand fast by your guns. Foe
men on every side will assault your
ramparts. but stand by your guns.
Patience, pluck. endurance. cooper
alton. determination. principle, leader
shfp-all are needed. Get them. broth
er; get them all. Then we'll ge.
! somewhere. ....t
