And some roll hid in midnight’s

But argve, cavil all you can,
My sire was just as good a man.

The Dumper Problem.
The dumper is one who sells his
train right from the field or his po
atoes right from the patch or any oth
«• crop without regard to market con
litlons. The dumper therefore is a
iroblem. He may be compelled to sell
n order to pay his bills. He may not
lave storage room. He may be in
dined to believe that “ a bird in the
land is worth two in a bush.”
Whatever may be the cause of sell
ng, the fact that there are so many
vho do sell upon a glutted market
nakes it one of the most serious probl
ems before the American farmer to
lay.
The dumper who sells on a glut
ed market, or at a time when con
mmers do not want it, not only suf
ers loss of price but all others who
io hold are more or less affected by
lis acts. The grain or prodce gam
ilers are always ready with cash to
>uy up all they can get cheap. They
ire fixed to hold the stuff and sell on
i rising market In most cases they
an make the rise in price. The one
vho holds his grain gets the benefit
if this rise but he would get better
iricos had there been no early glut of
narket.
Take for example the egg trade.
£ggs used to Bell for five cents a
lozen in summer and for 35 or 40
■ents In winter. The refrigerator en
Lbled the merchants to hold eggs for
i long time and that equalized the
irlce because they were distributed
brough the season as was the demand,
rhus It is when the farmer can hold
1I3 grain, tobacco, or cotton and sell
ilong as the market tempts him to
tell. Instead of the middle-men get
ting all the profits, the produoers get
heir share.
But the' dumper will not cease to
ixlst until the conditions that make
lim a dumper cease to exist. There
ias got to be some means of tiding
iim over his great need of money,
rhere must be co-operative storehouses
ind elevators where the poor man can
put his grain and stuff. He cannot af
!ord to build them at home. There
nust be a co-operative system of mon
jy loans that will enable him to have
-eady money and still hold his crops
In the cooperative warehouses. There
must be cooperation among the pro
iucers Just as there is among the mid
lle-men who gamble on his products.
Whatever be the name of the organ
ization that brings this about most
effectually for your needs, get in line
ind all pull together to get the gam
blers share and some of the middle
pen's profits.—Successful Farming.
Cut out, entirely, political speeches
it the Union picnics. Politicians can't
alk without hurting some one's feel
,ngs and then they go away mad and
talking politics instead of unionism.
Jnlon picnics are held to draw a crowd
ind most of the time the papers never
lay a word about the Union speech.
‘There is time for all things." So keep
rour union work separate from any
»ther work.—Union Advocate (Okla.)

Sell What the World Wants.
The cotton Journal wants farmers
to hold all surplus cotton above the
world’s needs, and discussing this
proposition, says:
The production of the south’s cob
ton crop Is being variously estimated
st the present time from 11,500,000 to
13.500.000 bales. The leading authori
ties on consumption estimate that the
world’s need for American cotton dur
ing the next twelve months will not
fall short of 12,500,000 baleB. Admit
ting for argument’s sake that In the
supplies of raw cotton available for
spinning purposes on the first day of
September there was carried over from
the past year 500,000 bales of Ameri
can cotton, this would have to be ship
ped from the present growing crop
12,000,000 bales. If the present crop
would ultimately show a production of
1.600.000 bales more than actually re
quired for consumption, then the only
way to prevent too low prices is for
farmers to hold over this surplus them
selves, rather than throw it on the
market and depress the price of the
entire crop. There are in round num
bers about 1,500,000 head of plow stock
engaged in the south. It would not be
a great hardship on the growers to
hold back one bale of cotton per plow
this winter and cut down the acreage
next spring two acres to the plow,
from which the 1,500,000 bales held
back from the crop of 1908 was pro
duced. Let us do a little figuring and
see how it works out:
Twelve million bales at 11c, or $35
per bale, will amount to $660,000,000;
13,600,000 bales at 9c, or $45 per bale,
will amount to $607,500,000. This calcu
lation shows a net loss of $52,000,OuO
and 1,500,000 bales of cotton thrown
In by marketing a surplus of the crop
at a price of 2c per pound less than
the actual needs of consumption will
show that It Is much better to sell
eight bales for $445 than sacrifice
nine bales for $405. Each man
would not only get more from the few
er bales sold, but would be In better
financial shape to hold the extra bale
per plow.
The best way to put this plan into
operation is to market only one-twelfth
of the year’s production each month
and refuse to sell any more. This will
force the mills actively into the mark
et, prices will advance to good levels
and the average price demanded for
what Is sold to the mills within the
next ten months will be secured. By
next March the exact production of
this year’s crop will be positively
known, and under the system of slow
selling each grower will know Just
what part of his crop should be carried
over, if any, and the acreage next
spring, correspondingly reduced.
Have You Thought?
Have you stopped to consider that It
will take the spindles of the world
twelve months to spin the cotton you
will gather within the next three
months? Suppose the South produces
12.000. 000 bales then it should furnish
1.000. 000 bales per month. If you dump
yours on the market and your neigh
bor and everybody else does the same
thing, you will throw 4,000,000 bales
on the market when only 1,000,000 are
needed. Have you ever taken a bask- :
et of eggs or load of corn or potatoes
to your little local market and find
everybody supplied? If you havei yon
have witnessed in a small way, Just
what takes place on a larger scale in
the cotton markets of the world when
the South works early and late and
runs her gins night and day to crowd
her cotton on the world before It la
needed. Somebody must store, insure
and finance this cotton until it is need- i
ed. But this is not all. The men who
buy the cotton from the farmer, wheth
er they are spinners of speculators 1
must take all the chances of bad mark*
ets, famines, wars, labor troubles, short
demand for cotton goods and large
supply of cotton and as they must carry
these risks they take them out of the
price. In other words, the producer 1
pays all these expenses and risks when
he dumps his cotton before It Is need
ed, and then pays the men who buy
It interest on all of them and hls sal
ary besides. Isn't It time, then, to stop (
a minute and exercise your Intellect?
These things are true and you know
It. Then why not act upon them and ]
do your part regardless of your neigh
bor? 1
One of the chief advantages of the
warehouse certificate plan of fin&nc- 1
ing cotton Is that it will net depend <
upon universal adoption for its suc
cess. Of course, the more general It
would be the more readily would the |
certificate be accepted by the busl- ■
ness world. Let one county adopt It
and the business interests of the ad- *
Joining counties will be compelled to
do so, too, In order to secure their
part of the trade. In this manner It
should spread from county to oounty
until the entire South Is covered by j
the system. However, If It should not 1
be adopted in one section or county,
that would not necessarily prevent 1
its successful operation In another, i
for the security behind the certificate
Is the very best there is.
Most any farmer can take an old
forty-dollar mule, shave up his tall and
mane with hls wife's scissors and by
feeding him a little oats and soda and
boosting him a little with his elo- 1
quence can make him bring |75. But
brains count for nothing In selling
cotton as long as speculators rule.
The moet Intelligent and ambitious
farmer must sell cotton as cheap as
the most vicious and ignorant negroes
or Mexicans.

trough.
