DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF SOUTHEASTERN ARKANSAS AND UNION COUNTY.

PRICE. $1 PER YEAR
The Farmers' Union.
Full enough has been done in
furnishing the farmers of Arkansas
information on methods for in
creasing their yield. We have C.
W. Watson, U. S. Government,
Agricultural State Agent, and his
splendid corp of assistants, a farm
demonstrator for each county,
many operators, the experiment
station at the University of Arkan
sas at Fayetteville, and its branch
es. the four agricultural schools,
the agricultural commissioners of
the Iron Mountain, Frisco, Cotton
Belt and Rock Island railway sys
tems and many Boys' Corn and
Girls'Tomato Clubs, all laboring
arduously and intelligently alemg
this one line. This will relieve our
great farmers organization of the
South, the "Farmers' Union" of
further education of its members,
along the line of making two blades
of grass to grow where only one,
g ew before, and allow it to devote
its whole time forming a plant and
making propaganda of it. that will
enable us to sell these increased
crop yields for $2.00 where we
only sold for $1.00 before. The
Union is doing this work as best it
can. They certainly contributed,
their share in the "holding of cot
ton" pf plan last winter,
whereby cotton went up from 8 to
1 1 cents.
Combination has been recognized
by the Supreme Court of the
United States as a legal means in
the hands of the produces for a!
reasonable increase of the price of
his commodity. Many of the in-!,
dustries have had combinations for
years to their great advantage, and
under the court ruling many more,
in fact all producers, must avail j
themselves of it or preyed upon by
those who do.
The effectiveness of combina-!
tion dec:e ses as the mem
bers sought to be organized in-:
creases. That being true, it would
be best for farmers' organizations
to center around their chief pro
duct, called usually their “money j
crop." cotton farmers to organize a
"Cotton Farmers’ Union." wheat
farmers a "Wheat Farmers' Union"
as already in the range country of
the West they have a very effect
ive "Cattle Growers' Association."!
but we have our Farmers' Union |
already organized and it could give j
its greatest labors to remunerative
marketing of cotton and allow the
organization wiinin its ranns ot
berry associations." "potato as
s oiations,” etc., composed of
tnose Union members only who |
are sellers of the commodities as
well as cotton, at the same time on
questions of schools, social life and
all other things, the farmers could
work as a unit.
I am frank to say that every j
man eligible to membership should
join the "Farmers' Union.” It will
take the combined brains and busi
ness knowledge and energy of all
the cotton farmers of the South, to
cope with the consumer and spec
ulator in the struggle for better j
prices to the producer for all farm ;
p-oducts. The "Grange,” "Farm
ers' Alliance,” "Wheel” and former
farmer organizations fell because
they undertook too much, relied
too much upon having prosperity
legislated into their business, filled
their offices with politicians who
knew nothing of business and cared
less, and sought only to elevate
themselves into some county and
state offices.

AGRICUTIRAL COLUMN.
(By A. P. Reynolds)
Many farmers are very much
discouraged over the unfavorable
weather for starting a crop. Al!
are fearful of the other extreme
when the weather does change.
Many are planning to try to culti
vate so as to conserve the mois
ture when it gets hot. The meth
od rhey will use is to just stir the
surface of the soil by shallow cul
tivation. thus preventing a crust
from remaining, and keeping down
weeds. One fairly deeply cultiva
tion should be given as soon as the
crop is large enough to plow.
Then the moisture is saved by not
turning it up to the sun. Many
are getting a poor stand of corn
and cotton. These should be re
planted at once. Where fertilizer
or fertilizer materials has not been
used on account of the possibility
of the rains causing it to leach, it
should be applied as soon as better
weather prospects appear. Cotton
should be ferti'ized before it is six
inches high -not later.
Some other c"op should be plant
ed where you had contemplated
planting cotton in this territory if it
is not planted by May 15. 1 fear
we are planting too much cotton.
With corn at $1.10 per bushel and
a big demand for whippoorwills our
easiest and most profitable crop
which also enrich s the land v e
can do no better than avoid the
mistake of putting in all cotton
cash crop.
Get some good hogs and plant
Chufas, peas, peanuts, sweet pota
toes. sorghum and some more corn.
V/hy should not this county pro
duce ali the hay. corn, hogs and
canned goods such as vegetables
that it consumes and then all the
cotton that can be worked well?
The above items can be marketed
on our local markets if you go at it
right.
Attention Boys.
No new members will be enrolled
in the Corn ana Cotton Clubs after
June 1. This county has less than
we ought to have not enough yet
in cotton to compete for the $50
club prize offered by the state fair.
You who have received member
ship blanks should fill out and re
turn them at once, before June 1.
Tell your friends to send in their
names at once for it will soon be
too late to join. Members will be
sent the Arkansas Homestead
I free. It will be a great mistake t<
drop out now and nothing can b
S lost by continuing and dob g th<
. best you can. Remember all th<
| boys have had the same unfavor
I able weather you have.
