and at the same time send
your orders for job printing
out of town. Your home
printer can do your work just
as good, and in nine cases out
of ten he can beat the city
man’s prices, because he pays
much less for running ex- j
penses. By sending your next j
' printing order to this office
you’ll be better satisfied all
around, and you’ll be keeping
the moticy at home.

I FARMERS’ EDUCATIONAL
AND
CO-OPERATIVE UNION
OF AMERICA
I
Our Mainstay, the Farmer.
Let trusts and corporations burst
Like bubbles in the air,
And every Bull in Wall street’s length
Be swallowed by a Bear.
The land is safe, while rising up
At cock-crow in the morn
The farmer drives his furrow straight
And plants his golden corn.
Let banks close up their iron doors
And bank officials flee
With all the trusting public’s cash
To lands across the sea.
There’s nothing in the world to fear
We’ll have enough to eat,
While in his broad and fertile fields
The farmer sows his wheat.
Though railroads should forget to pa>
Their dividends when due,
And men promoting wildcat schemes
Look very glum and blue.
There is no need to feel alarmed
(Remember what I say)
Unless the farmer should forget
To gather in his hay.
—Leslie's Weekly.
Agricultural Statistics.
This is a very pretty story, very in
teresting,—this report of the govern
ment on the conditions of other peo
pies’ crops and prognostications ol
good yields; but the bureau of the
Department of Agriculture which gath
ers and issues the information is a
large and expensive bureau, and some
may ask. ‘what is the real use of it:
How does it help the farmer?’ Well
we all know about the “pit”—the “con:
pit” and the “wheat pit” in Chicagc
and elsewhere, where they get coi
ners on grain and other commodities
and maintain the prices to the detri
ment of both the producer and the
consumer. Were it not for reliable
government statistics on crop produc
tion, the manipulations would be fat
worse than they are. and at certair
seasons the big speculators would "gei
together” and practically fix the
prices. The official statistics keep them
largely in check. If there were no gov
ernment statistics, the speculators
would simply agree on a policy and
then manufacture crop statistics tc
enable them to carry out that policy
and the farmer and the bread win net
of the country would suffer.
Learn How to Sell.
Alone the farmer has no more
chance with the market combine that
a rabbit has with a hungry bulldog
Collectively he may hold his own anc
get a fair [trice for his product.
Figure a bit: Five cents a bushe
added to the price of wheat meant
a gain of $1 to $1.50 per acre. One-hall
a cent per pound means a gain of $f
in every 1.000 pounds of beef or porl
or mutton. Co-operation in selling
will bring these advances and more
Twenty-five cents a bushel addec
to the sweet potato crop in four years
has raised the grow-ers of Tideway
county Virginia, from poverty to re
sped able wealth. Southern cottoi
growers have made $5,000,01)0 a yeai
clear profit above the average b.t
sticking together. Organization is th<
“big stick” of commerce and it is
time for farmers to learn to use it
If the farmers undertake to finance
their cotton through a certificate
plan their greatest opposition maj
be expected from the bankers, win
can issue bank scrip based on theii
promise to pay, or banknote curr^ftcj
based on watered railroad stocks anti
bonds. But the merchant who ac
cepted bank scrip last year will find
himself hard pressed to give any good
reason for not accepting cotton scrit
this year.
It doesn’t pay to cut burdock with
a hoe. Use a spade and cut deep.
Another Lesson for the Farmer.
The International Cotton Federa
tion, composed ot manufacturers of
cotton goods in Europe and America,
held its fifth annual congress at Paris
in July. Although this organization
was begun in 1894 and at first pro
! fessed to be for the purpose of en
| couraging the production of raw cot
ton in Europe and Africa, it was cer
tain that it would not stop at that.
The main purpose of the federation
is now made clear in the following
resolution, which was adopted last
month:
“Resolved, That whenever there is
; a lack of raw material, or when the
manufactured articles exceed the de
mand of any country, the adoption
of short time running mills is the
only real remedy; and that all asso
ciations be requested to perfect their
local organizations in order to put
short time into operation whenever
it may be considered necessary."
Here is a fresh object lesson for
the cotton farmer. While he talks
sentimentally about his duty to grow
all he can and supply the world with
clothes, the manufacturer gets down
to business and resolves that “when
ever there is a lack of raw material
or when the manufactured article ex
ceed the demand” he will run his mill
on short time. No sentiment in the
proposition to him. No matter that
famines or floods have made the peo
ple too poor to buy all the cloth he
can manufacture—rather than supply
1 it at a lower price he will run rns
mill on half time.
This is the system by which all in
dustrial trusts control prices. They
curtail the output at the first intima
tion that the demand for their goods
is not keen. The labor organizations
are conducted along the same lines.
Nobody, these days, but the cotton
farmer, tries to produce all he can for
| market. And the farmer could be the
most independent of all, if he would
learn the lesson of keeping the world
hungry for his products by limiting
(hose he has to sell and raising a full
supply of those he consumes at home.
Then a better system of marketing
will supplement this and bring the
prosperity the farmer deserves.
Who Says Hard Times?
Chief Statistician Clark of the agri
cultural department estimates that
the ninth successive good harvest Is
practically assured to the American
farmer and that the crops of 1908
will be worth nearly $8,000,000,000.
Eight billion dollars would pay the
net interest bearing debt nine times
over.
Or it would pay the national debt
and leave ermugh lo buy at par the
stock of all the railroads in the
country.
It would nearly pay off the entire
ImmlpH nf Ampripflii rail
road.
At assessed valuations it would buy
every acre of land in New York City
and replace every building in it with
a little remnant over equalling the
I combined assessed valuations of Chl
| cago, New Orleans, St. Louis, Seattle
and San Francisco, says the New
! York World.
Corn does not travel far from the
place where it is raised, which is
j lucky, as there are not enough rail
■ roads to carry it.
A crop of 2,7(10,000,000 bushels
would load 2,f>20,000 thirty-ton cars,
; a-SO more freight cars than there are
. in the country of every sort.
The freight cars of all the world
[ would not carry out wheat and corn.
If there were cars enough and if
the wheat and corn were loaded into
, thirty-ton cars, forty to a train, and
i i trains were run at two-mile intervals
at a speed including slops of thirty
i miles an hour, night and day, it
t 1 would take nearly six months for the
procession to pass a reviewing stand.
A bin built the size of a city block,
C00x20<>, would need to be more than
six miles high to hold this wheat and
corn alone.
The hay and cotton crops and the
stupendous annual egg yield of the
American hen are in bulk and value
equally amazing.

What are the railroads doing tc
J prepare for a car shortage, which is
sure to come when the crops begin to
| move this fall?
