OWNERSHIP OF FARM LANDS
Between Twelve and Thirteen Million
Acres Of Fine Cotton Land Owned
Outright by Foreigners.

To Officials and Members Of the Union;
In previous utterances I have had
something to say about alien or for
eign ownership of our farm lands.
particularly Of lands in the soath
adaptable to cotton.
| have said that it was an alarming
development, and some people have
pooh-poohed such narrowness OF views,
and, at any rate, IT wasn't very bad.
and only a few English or French
spinners were experimenting! That
is what ! got for sounding an alarm.
which | believed then formed sert-
Gus menace, and which now am abb
solutely sure is the case.
Now, listen, you scoffers and unbe-
levers. Do you know that between
twelve and thirteen million acres OF
the finest cotton lands in the south
are now owned outright by foreign in
dividuals and corporations? Do you
know that agents of these foreign in
dividuals and corporations are con-
stantly working to get more millions
of acres of the cream Of cotton lands?
Do you know that foreign spinners
are sending men here to be edVcated
In our agricultural colleges and
schools to take charge of these broad
acres, cultivate and raise cotton to
ship to spinners in England, France
and other foreign countries?
Do you think deep and sense what
this means? Do you know that it
means the actual production of cot
ton in the south on farms owned and
cultivated by foreigners, and whose
product will go direct to their mills in
England. France and other countries?
In plain words, we are sitting supinely
by while foreign capital and corpora
tons are taking our Oldest, richest and
greatest heritage right from under
our noses.
Time may not be far distant when
our own people, the men who have
raised and supplied the world with its
cotton for generations, will be re-
stricted absolutely to the home mar
ket. Sounds scary. and ! want 1t to
sound so, for 1t is time to get scared
a bit.
There is, too, the other grave danger
In this new something we are called
on now to face, that of absorption OF
our farm lands by foreign ownership.
Conditions are bad enough in all con-
science by constantly growing city and
town ownership Of farm lands, which
are cultivated by tenants or not cult
waited at all.
These things all tend further to de-
stroy our homecoming, home-making
type of farmer, the backbone and
sinew and soul Of our national life.
You people who have been preaching
and working and theorizing on a
"back-to-the-farm movement, think
over these things bit.
Here is the inverness Of things,
and 1t is for wise and sane men to
solve them. l ask national leaders.
thinkers, men who really want to do
something. to ponder these things seri-
ously.

MANY LOSSES IN MARKETING
At Present There Is Too Much Waste
Between Producer and Consumer
of All Farm Products.

By A. F. WOODS. Department of Agri-
culture. University Farm. ST. Paul.
Mimi
In many cases great saving is &C
complished by cooperative marketing
for particular districts. and associa-
tons for this purpose are springing up
rapidly in all parts of the country.
The product of many small growers is
brought together, graded and put on
the market in better condition In car
load lots, thus saving greatly in freight
rates and in loss by handling.
Although there has been great i'm
provement in transportation methods
and reduction in rates in the last forty
years, as well as a decrease in the cost
OF marketing generally, there is. at
present, too much waste between pro-
Queer and consumer. In the case of
certain special products, like fruits,
vegetables and flowers. BY the time
transportation charges, commission
charges, wholesale profit and retail
profit with all the costs Of handling.
are paid, the consumer often pays
twice as much as the producer re-
ceives.
Every possible saving must be ac-
complished in the cost of production
and, marketing. Consequently the farm
ers are organizing their own cooper
alive warehouses, elevator systems,
and trading facilities and demanding
legislation to control railroad rates.
grading, weighing. etc.
Every farmer and consumer should
take an active interest in these mat
tiers that so greatly affect the profits
of labor and the cost Of living. The
average farmer does not pay enough
attention to market demands and re-
qulrements. II he does not produce
the right varieties of fruits and vege-
tables and send them to market prop
erly and honestly packed he cannot
expect the best prices.
