to do this, the union is making very
liberal terms for initiation.
One thing stands out at this time
that is very encouraging to the work
Of organization and that is that the
business interests of the state are
cooperating in every way possible to
aid the Union. This has not been true
in years gone by, but both the bust
ness people and the farmers have dis
covered that they must work together.
fhe business interests have learned
the lesson that when the farmers fare
badly, the business of the state goes
to pieces, and on the other hand, the
farmers have awakened to the fact
that their place in the business world
is to make and market products, not
to sell groceries or do banking. The
union is now organizing and teaching
new mothed or methods of bringing
into closer relationship all the inter
ests of the state. And the fact that
farmers are coming into the union by
the hundreds, speaks loudly for the
wisdom of the new arrangement of
plans, and the cooperation of the bus
mess interests with the farmers is an
other indication that at last the Farm
ers' Union is to be understood and en-
couraged from sources that at one
time antagonism and misunderstood
ing animated.

SEASON WILL BE SHORTENED,
SALARIES CUT, PLAYERS RE-

Especial to Times-Recorder,)

SAVANNAH, Ca, June 1.-The South
Atlantic Baseball league faces the
greatest crisis in its life. Shall it
continue the playing season as first
planned until August %. cut the SEIZED
ule down to close on July 20, or
'blow-up" are questions that grip the
very heart of the circuit today.
At meeting of the league directors
called together very informally by
President Corish, which was held last
night, decision was reached to cut
the player limit from twelve to eleven
men, reduce the salaries of the play
ers and close the playing season on
July 20.
This action must be endorsed by
Secretary Farrell, of the national
commission and the matter was put
up to him in a lengthy telegram. Every
club in the circuit was represented
and action was unanimous. Practical.
ly all the clubs are heavy losers on
account of poor attendance.
President Corish issued a statement
this morning that the ball parks in
the league will be closed, the clubs
disbanded and rebates given players
unless the attendance improves.

PRESIDENT BROWN
SEES DANCER AHEAD
FOR THE FARMERS
UNLESS THEY ORGANIZE THOR
OUGHLY TO HANDLE CROPS
THIS FALL-SAYS GRASS IS BAD
LY AFFECTING CROPS ALL OVER
STATE,
Especial to Times-Recorder)

i
DOUGLAS, Ca, June Recurring
to the headquarters of the Georgia
State Farmers Union from an extern
sive tour of Georgia, President ]. ].
Brown gave out an interview for the
press in which he SOUNDS strong
warning to the farmers.
President Brown is one of those
optimistic men who does not believe
it right to let optimism overshadow
true situations, and believes that to
take hold of an emergency before the
emergency arises is the better pa t of
valor.
President Brown stated that he had
never found the cotton fields of Geor-
gia so full of grass as they are at
this time. There are thousands of
acres" he said "that were planted in
cotton that are now being plowed up
and replanted in peas, sorghum cane
and other things, because the grass
has gotten ahead of the farmers and
they realize that there would not be
any yield of the staple to speak Of"
Asked to what extent the crop in
this state would be cut this year, Mr..
Brown said:
We'll, in the first place, the acreage
was cut, l believe, at least 80 per
cent; about As per cent. less fertilizer
was used than last year. The crops
on the average throughout the state
are in the worst condition they have
ever been at this time of the year and
Tor these reasons, l believe that the
crop will yield at least 40 per cent
less than did the 1914 crop"
These conditions of bad fields and
poor stands were worse in middle and
south Georgia, said Mr.. Brown. He be
lieved that the grassy condition. would
il itself reduce the yield 25 per cent.
this year over last,
The statement was made to the re-
Porter that the farmers generally wera
diversifying more extensively than US
ual, and that while corn had been
damaged to some extent by the rains
and consequent grass, it would be a
fairly good yield, especially in south
west Georgia.
Organization Necessary to Meet the
Situation.
Continuing, the speaker said that in |
order to meet the situation and handle !
it with the least possible injury to all, |
it would be absolutely necessary that
the farmers organize in every militia
district of the state.

Hog and Hominy VS.. Cotton.

The outlook for this country is not
bright at this time, and we have no
hesitancy in advising farmers to go
slow in their cotton operations this
year. If the British authorities insist
upon widening their blockade SO that
no commerce, whether to non-combat-
ants or not, can leave or reach Ger
many's shores, and the Germans con-
tinue their submarine warfare, and
their mine sowing operations, 1t will
be almost useless for this country to
attempt to raise cotton in 1915, un-
less 1t be by those who are able to
raise 1t to store away until the termi-
nation of hostilities. If America can
find a foreign market for this
product, u domestic mills will take
advantage of the situation to buy
what Is made for as little as possible;
1t is therefore well to consider this
before undergoing the cost of opera
ions which have such a gloomy pros
pect in the future. The only hope, as
we see it. lies in raising a plenty Of
hog and hominy. When this is done
Asquith car blockade. and Won Hin

Gov. Manningss Double.

That Gov. Richard /. Manning has
a double in this part Of the State
probably was not known until FRI
day when three people of this city
spotted the man. He is Mr.. w. l.
Werner, cashier of the bank at Wal
halla. A newspaper man saw the
Walhalla gentleman approaching at
a distnce and at once made q bee
line for him, taking him for Gov.
Mining. When the newspaper man
discovered his error he remarked to
a citizen passing elong that that man
looked like Gov Manning. Strange
to say, this visitor remarked, well.
I thought the same thing this morn
ing. I was talking to a man in town
and we saw Mr.. Werner approaching.
and both us of remarked at the
same time hat he looked like Gov.
Manning" The only marked differ
n between the two gentlemen, in
appearance, is that Mr.. Werner has
the reddish hair Of Gov. Manning.
With that exception they are as much
alike as two peas in a pod.-Ander-
