STATUS OF FARMERS UNION
Question 10 Asked Why Cannot Farm
ers Make Their Cooperative En-
terprises Successful.

What is the condition of the
Farmers union? We have at times
most heartily wished that it would
take livelier interest in certain leg
islation much desired by farmers, but,
nevertheless, have always most heart
lily wished II abundant success. II is
founded on a grandly good idea and
certainly Mr.. Barrett has worked hard
indeed to make it success. In a gen.
eral letter dated June "a. 1913, to the
officials and members of the Farmers
union and published In the Union
Farmer, he says:
81, have just completed an
eleven thousand mile trip. visit.
ed many states and in that long
journey, taking in practically a
month, personally saw hundreds
of Farmers union enterprises and not
one that is not prospecting and doing

But in the same issue of the Union
Farmer there is republished an edito-
rial from Wallace's Farmer, which
says:
The cooperative efforts of the
grange we're for the most part fail.
ures. The Farmers union of the south
has established some 10000 co-opera-
tive selling organizations; 1000 of
these are dead failures and admit it;
1000 are living at a poor dying rate
and are about ready to die; some 1000
are really successful and about 1000
fairly So
Which is telling the truth? Both
statements appear in the same issue
of one of the official organs of the
Farmers union, says the Illinois Farm
er and Farmers Call. We very much
hope indeed that Mr.. Barrett's state
ment is the truthful one, but we very
much fear that Mr.. Wallace's state
ment is nearest the truth. Why can.
not the farmers Of the United States
make their cooperative enterprises
successful? Such enterprises among
the farmers of Denmark, Germany.
France. Italy and Great Britain have
been and are highly successful Ger
tainly we are as intelligent and as
good business men as the farmers of
those countries. Who can make us Co
operate successfully? Wherein are We
lacking that we cannot make our Co
operative enterprises successful as are
the cooperative enterprises Of other
farmers?

LAcES OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS
Color Has Wisely Been Left Largely
to the Taste of the In
dividual.

A compromise can be made with
narrow ruching placed above a fat
turnover collar and the effect is good.
but 1t is the wide double ruching that
frequent ugliness lies. Fortunately.
it is quite as fashionable to wear q
loose lace frill that half rolls away
from the neck and is caught above the
bust with flicker of ribbon.
There is an admirable way of open
ing the blouse in front, running 1t to
a deep point, outlining it with two
inches of lace that falls backward over
a ribbon of black taffeta or colored
velvet; and in the open space left
there is fat band of lace crossed well
up toward the neck and drawn softly
down under the blouse. This is a
good scheme for any woman whose
chest is thin and who does not wish
to go in tie street with much Of her
neck exposed.
II is a good idea to remember that
a fat collar at the back of the neck
is often better than high one unless
it is tight-fitting. One can adopt many
different kinds of frills and ribbons
and laces at the neck If they will only
remember to keep the back and the
exact shoulder line fattened by a
turnover collar of thin white fabric.

1t is apparent to every man who has
made a study of the question that
there is wide difference in the feed
ing and care Of stock in the south, as
compared with that of the north and
the west
In many sections OF the south cattle
are fattened for market without shell
ter during any period of the year, and
in some favored spots they are fed no
grain whatever. The raising of blood
ed stock is also becoming one Ut the
chief industries of the south.
The south is now taking more lively
interest in the production of alfalfa
than any other single section Of the
country. Alabama has an alfalfa club,
an association of high-class farmers,
who several years ago began the study
of the value of this plant to the south,
and whose efforts to develop it have
resulted in widespread benefit to that
section.
This club grows alfalfa for profit
as well as education, and has declared
dividends of from go to los per cent
Alfalfa in Mississippi yields as high
as four tons per acre the season, and
there are probably $4,000 acres Of al
falfa in the black-belt of Mississippi
and Alabama alone.
Farmers of the south are learning
how to fatten hogs on alfalfa and cow
peas, making pork as fine as is ever
seen in our northern markets and at
less cost than 1t can be produced in
many of the northern aud western sec
tons.
Alfalfa takes kindly to the lime
lands of Virginia and the farmers Of
that state are going into it extensive
ly. ]. F. Jack, a progressive Virginia
planter, began improving his rather
poor soil several years ago with Grim
son clover and cowpeas, later planting
it to alfalfa He now has 400 acres of
alfalfa, which average six tons per
acre; and much of it furnishes good
pasture during the winter months.

The southeastern states are at last
coming to their own, particularly in
the matter of livestock. They have to
offer, in competition with the most ia
vorable sections of the United States.
an abundance of the richest stock feed
at very low cost, green pastures near
ly all the year round, pure water and
a most favorable climate.
The corn-belt is moving southwark,
and the alfalfa-belt, which not many
years ago was thought to be impos-
sible below northern Kentucky, has
now slipped down to the Gulf of
Mexico.
The south has a tremendous meat
market within it's own borders. Bir-
mingham, Ala, alone imports over ST.
100000 worth Of meat every year, and
1t Is a fact not generally known that,
in spite of its long, hot summers, and
mild winters consumes more meat per
capita than any other section of the
country.
1t has taken the south a long time
to wake up to the importance of feed
ing her own mouths from her own
acres, but now that the vast common
sense of the thing is glimmering
through the minds of the intelligent
progressive people of that section,
they are rising to the occasion in a
way that challenges the admiration of
the entire country.
1t requires over $4,000, 900 to sup
ply only so southern cities with dairy
products every year. Heretofore much
of this wealth has come from other
states, but now southern farmers are
reaping the profits from their own
acres.
Some enthusiastic southerners de-
clare that they can prove by the de-
partment of agriculture that beef can
be produced in the south at a cost of
three cents per pound-a rate so low
that other sections find ii difficult to
compete with it.
1t is fact, within personal knowl-
edge of the writer, that in some sec
tons of the south, particularly Vir-
ginia, the finest beef in this country is

FEMININITY HAS DISCARDED ALL

ard as this modern vogue of silken I'M

the fad with enthusiasm, and. once ac-
custoned to the luxury and comfort Of
silken garments next the skin, almost
any woman will economic to the last
penny in other wearables rather than
relinquish her silk lingerie.
Crepe de chine is the favored mater
ial and pure white the favored color.
though faint pink and ~palest blue
crepe de chine garments of this type
are worn by women who go in for col
or scheme fads in lingerie. Some of
the underwear is very plain, with no
further garnishment than a picot edge
Of lace; other models are deliberately
trimmed with lace insertions and
landings. even little silk and chiffon
roses finding place in the trimming.
One very fetching robe du mutt in
mind at the moment is of crepe de
chine with a deep yoke and sleeves of
shadow lace laid over flesh tinted
null, and the yoke is joined to the
crepe de chine gown under a strip of
lace insertion, on which is sewed a
fesroon of tiny pink rosebuds.
In contrast to this coquettish sleep
ing robe is nun-like little nightgown
of white crepe de chine, rounded out
girlishly at the throat and trimmed
with narrow picot edge of real Irish
lace. The short sleeves are also edged
with the line of Irish picot and the
neck is drawn up on a white ribbon.

gown is especially graceful, for the

Second Crop Potatoes.

The advantages of planting second
crop seed potatoes in the south have
been so fully demonstrated as to leave
no doubt as to the great practical
value of this method. Second-crop
seed ripens its crop from ten to twelve
days earlier than northern seed and
produces a larger average yield. An
other important point is that the keep
ing quality Of the crop is better than
that from first-crop seed. and the tu-
AaTs are of a more uniform size. Much
