Farmers Educational
—AND—
Co - Operative Union
Of America
The Two Conventions.
The two cotton conventions—one at
New Orleans by the Farmers’ Union
and the other by the Southern Cotton
Association at Memphis—have passed
into history and the question natural
ly arises, what has been accom
plished?
Neither convention carried to ma
turity any definite plan for holding
the cotton crop for satisfactory
prices because of the many difficul
ties in the way of taking care of that
part of it which is under mortgage
for the supplies on which if was made.
But both did much to overcome these
difficulties by bringing forcibly before
the business world the fact that when
this fraction of the cotton is forced
upon the market in advance of the
demand for it, the price on the entire
crop is depressed and the South loses
millions of dollars which should flow
through all her channels of trade.
And not only did they bring these con
ditions clearly before the business
world, but representative bankers and
business men expressed a willing
ness to co-operate along safe and
sound methods of improving them.
The Farmers’ Union needs a campaign
of education among business men. as
•veil as among farmers, and the New
Orleans convention was worth all it
cost for what it accomplished in this
respect alone.
In the matter of marketing that
part of the crop not under the neces
sity of immediate sale, the work of
both conventions is calculated to have
a very beneficial effect. The sup
port of the holding and gradual mark
s’ing movement by leading financiers
and large planters should be a power
ful stimulus to those who have hesi
tated as to what they should do. and
where one bale has been held back be
fore, two should be held since these
conventions.
It is too early to say what may be
expected from the great warehouse
scheme of the New Orleans conven
tion, the committee in whose charge
it was placed has not given a definite
outline of the plan. Some such ar
rangement at New Orleans as that
uv’de at Galveston by the Farmers’
Union of Texas would materially help,
and it seems quite probable that this
much will be accomplished. As to the
organization of a great cotton hold
ing company, that is another question.
Evidently the Farmers’ Union is not
ready for such a move, and we do not
believe the time will ever come when
it can be made successful. Our opin
ion is that the remedy does not lie in
that direction.
The one damaging result, in our
opinion, of both conventions was the
disposition to compromise with the
cotton exchanges. At Memphis, gam
bling in cotton futures on the ex
changes Tvas boldly defended and the
claim was made that anti-bucket shop
legislation in the Southern states had
helped to depress prices to the present
low level. Of course, bucket shops
wore condemned, although the speak
ers did not show why gambling on
exchanges is any more beneficial to
the cotton growers than on bucket
shops, but the spurious claim was ad
vanced that buyers of futures on the
yfy.
Al
Woman’s Mend
I
Nearly all women suffer at times from female
ailments. Some women suffer more acutely and
more constantly than others. But whether you have
little pain or whether you suffer intensely, you'
should take Wine of Cardui and get relief.
Cardui is a safe, natural medicine, for women,
prepared scientifically from harmless vegetable in
gredients. It acts easily on the female organs and
gives strength and tone to the whole system.
CARD U |
The Woman*s Tonic 1
Mrs. Verna Wallace, of Sanger, Tex., tried Cardui She writes:
"Cardui has done more for me than I can describe. Last spring I
was taken with female inflammation and consulted a doctor, but to
no avail, so I took Cardui, and inside of three days, I was able to do
my housework. Since then my trouble has never returned.” Try it.
AT ALL DRUG STORES
fcUSj
exchanges supports the spot market.
At New Orleans no defender of fu
ture gambling raised his voice on the
floor of the convention, but in some
way press reports went out to the ef
fect that a strong sentiment had de
veloped. or was developing, in the un
ion in favor of amending our anti
bucket shop legislation so as to per
mit gambling on “legitimate ex
changes," whatever they are. This
ought not to have been, because there
is no such change of sentiment in
the union and the spreading of such
reports will strengthen the specula
tors and gamblers in their war upon
these laws, which will be renewed
before the next legislaeures.
As a whole, however, we believe (he
New Orleans convention has greatly
strengthened the holding and gradual;
marketing movement; has strength
ened confidence in the final outcome
for better prices, and we confidently
expect to see more cotton held for bet
ter prices and a gradual advance ir.
the market.—National Co Operator.
Pecans ar.d Cotton.
Did you ever stop to think, when
planting your cotton crop year after
year, says Aubrey Frink, of Mac
cloney, Fla , In Cotton Journal, tha:
your land was simply giving you one
orop annually, and that it was not
Increasing in value to you, and that,
work hard as you might, you were at
best getting only a small remunera
tion for your work? Have you nev
er wondered howr you could make prac
tically the same crop on the land,
and a/t the some time, by expending
a small additional amount, you could
have your land increase from year
to year in value and within a few
years be producing for you yearly a
better return than you could possibly
get out of your cotton?
Have you ever considerea planting
pecan trees of some of the finer vari
eties in your cotton field and work
ing them along with your cotton crop
getting just- about as much per acre
and practically making your pecan
orchard free of expense, save the first
cost of the trees and the planting of
them?
Pecan trees should be set 50 to 60
feet apart each way, and this would
mean only 17 of IS pecan trees per
acre. These trees can be bought from
50 cents to $2 per tree, according to
size, and this wrould be the only ex
pense until your trees were large
enough to require some attention in
the way of fertilization for nuts,
when they would soon be producing
enough ntits to be worth more than
the whole acre of cotton.
Some of the best varieties are Van
deman, Stuart, Schley, etc., and it is
always desirable to use budded or
grafted trees, for the trouble and ex
pense of working the trees over from
seedlings Is much more than the dif
ference between seedling and budded
or grafted trees, as sold by nursery
men.
There Is a good market for the finer
pecan nuts, and prospects are that j
it will be many years before there
is really a supply of them. They now
sell in market from 10 cents per pound
for the poorest grades of nuts up to 1
50 cents ao $1 per pound for the fin
er kinds. And a tree, when in full
j bearing, which generally requires
i eight to ten years, will produce sev
I eral hundred pounds of nuts annual
| lq. Think this matter over, and see j
I if you won t come out considerably j
ahead by setting sobe budded or
grafted pecans the coming winter in
your cotton fields.
How Losses Cost Double.
No animal can remain at a stand
still without loss to its owner. If an
animal is not gaining, then the foou
and labor are thrown away. If an
animal loses only a pound in weight, ’
then the farmer not only suffers a
loss of that which he once had, but
must Incur additional expense to re |
gain that one pound, but the time lost j
canont be recovered. When there is
a falling off in w'eight or the yie d ot
milk is reduced, the cause should oc
sought and if an error has occurred
or there Is fault in the management,
a change should he made for the bet
ter without delay.
The advocates of mulching the fruit
trees and vines have become a very
respectable majority.
Horse fairs, held almost continu
ously throughout the year have heip^
ed to make Belgium the greatest
horse breeding country of its size in
the world The fairs are largely at
tended by foreign buyers, especially
Germans, who purchase 25,000 horsei
a year at these exhibitions. Sales foi
export in 1906 aggregated I7,000,C00
It is estimated that there are no^i
300,000 horses in Belgium, a country
not quite as large as the state of M»
ryland, which has just about one-bAk
•that number of horses.
Her Identity.
Farmer Honk (musingly)—They say
Deacon Klutchpenny's wife was a
paragon before he married her, and—
Mrs. Honk (briskly)—Nothing of the
kind! She was a Smith! I knew the
whole family.—Puck.
