FARMERS' EDUCATIONAL
AMD
, CO-OPERATIVE UNION
! —— OF AMERICA - •
A Country Idyl.
"Have you dug your grass?” asked
the city chap
Of the staring farmer man;
For he thought he would not crush
the swain
Beneath his social ban.
"How was the crop when you dug
your grass?
Did the weevils hurt your peas?
And did the canker worms destroy j
Your young cucumber trees?”
"I love, good sir, the country air;
From the town I fain would flee,
And lose myself in rural dreams
’Neath the potato tree.
I would pluck the turnip from its
vine,
Thro' the parsnip meadow push,
And rest beneath the grateful shade
Of the onion’s bending bush.
"Oh! I fain would be a simple swain
And drive my yoke of cows,
And rest at noon beneath the shade
Of the rutabaga boughs.
I'd hunt the woods where the co
coanuts grow
The whole of the livelong day,
Or start at mom with the rustic hoe
To dig the hills for hay.
“And if at noonday I grow faint.
With my labor's strain and rush,
I would mix the milkweed's lucious
milk,
With the mushroom's lucious mush.
I would pluck the pineapple from the
pine—
But why has your color fled?” . j
But the good man fell with a sicken
ing thud;
That farmer man was dead.
■—Selected.
A Contemptible Character.
The most contemptible character
which the Farmers* Union meets to
day is the farmer who taunts the
member of the Union for not selling
his cotton at 12 cents, as Mr. Wise
acre. did. Ungrateful and ignorant
wretch! If members cfT the Farm
ers’ Union had dumped their cotton '
on the market when these robbers of
their brothers were doing it, the prices
of cotton would have reached eight I
cents months ago and would be sell
ing today at five and six cents. In
stead of being honored for their self
sacrifice by the their non-union neigh
bors. as they should be, their self-sac
rifice has been coined into money by
taking advantage of the good market
made by the holding movement. It
is like a drowning man, who has been
rescued by a friend, jeering that friend
because he did not have sense enough
to remain on land and take care of
his health. It is like a man whose
property and loved ones have been
saved by the sacrifice of another ridi
culing the friend for not having judg-!
ment to take care of himself. Even
the cotton buyers and speculators ad
mit. that the holding movement saved
cotton from dropping to the lowest
prices ever recorded. This is the uni
versal verdict of the business world.
Imagine, then, the contempt in which
the business man and cotton buyer
must secretly hold the farmer who is,
so ungrateful and so selfish as to reap
the benefits of another’s efforts and
then upbraid hint for his unselfish
work!—National Co-Operator.
The National Meeting.
The national convention of the
Farmers’ Educational and Cooperative
Union of America, held in Fort Worth i
recently, showed the organization to
be in excellent condition and capu
ble of doing effective work in the in
terest of the farmers during the com-j
ing marketing season.
With the spread of the Union to i
grain, tobacco and fruit growing
states, the work has naturally divided
itself into different departments and
'he committees representing them
have* outline;! plans for handling these
various product which will, no doubt,
prove advantageous.
The system for marketing cotton
seems to have been advanced material
ly and with the co-operation of the
membership the way is being opened
for direct sales to the mills, which
has been the desire of many members
for sometime past.
Partisan politics had no place in the
convention and yet it was evident that
the farmers now realize that much in
jury has been done them by the na
tional and state law making bodies
and that these injuries must be re
medied. This, however, is recommend
ed by direct appeals to the congress
and legislatures and not through the
endorsement of^ any political party.
All in all, the national meeting has
added strength to the Farmers’ Union
movement.
SCHEMES TO DEFRAUD.
6ome of the Plans to Secure Money
Without Adequate Compensation.
Plans to secure money from the
people without giving adequate re
turns are numerous. Not alone are
the residents of country districts
made the victims of schemers, but
city people as well are now and then
humbugged by shrewd fakirs. Within
the past year or two it was announced
in the columns of magazines and the
farm papers of a seedless apple being
**vnlvr»H A fnw nmnthe Inter unnHlecc
apple trees were wiueiy advertised
from different parts of the country.
One concern which started in to op
erate on an extensive plan organized
seedless apple companies in different
states of the western country. Within
a few months hundreds of thousands
of dollars were taken from the pock
ets of the people for seedless apple
trees. These trees were just the
ordinary kind, and poor stock at that.
So bold were the operations .of the
seedless apple tree schemers that the
secretary of agriculture found it nec
essary to issue a bulletin warning the
people of the fraud, and later the post
office department issued fraud orders
against those engaged in the nefarious
business. There are nurseries located
in nearly every state. It is a good
plan for the residents of farming and
fruit growing districts to carefully in
vestigate concerns selling fruit trees
and similar lines before they are
given patronage.
* • •
A number of petty grafts have late
ly been worked throughout the coun
try. One of the common ones is the
hiring of agents to sell soaps, per
fumes and other commodities on the
premium plan. The concerns which
operate games of this class generally
have their headquarters in some large
city and through advertising secure
the names of people desiring employ
ment as canvassers and agents. To
such they send letters holding out ex
traordinary inducements. Those who
agree to act as agents sign a contract
which is an agreement to pay for such
goods as may be sent to them on con
signment. The sample outfits which
aro forwarded, or the small stock of
goods, are billed in such a way as to
allow the concern an exorbitant profit.
If the agent succeeds in selling the
goods and remits promptly there is
not likelihood of being any trouble,
but generally the goods are so poor in
quality that they remain dead stock
in the hands of the canvasser, and
he will find that the agreement he has
signed will hold him to pay for the
goods.
• * •
One of the humbugs that is perpe
trated upon the people of many com
munities is the selling of stock in co
operative mercantile companies. Dur
ing the past three or four years the
residents of many small towns and ag
ricultural districts have lost hundreds
of thousands of dollars, if not mil
lions, through the buying of stock in
alleged cooperative establishments in
large cities. One company with head
quarters in Chicago, doing a mail
order business, sold stock in excess of
$1,000,000, and when the concern went
into the hands of a receiver about a
year ago there was not ten per cent,
of assets to return to stockholders.
Other alleged cooperative deals in
volve what is termed a profit sharing
plan. This plan does not require the
purchase of stock, but the cooperative
part is purely a scheme devised for
the securing of trade.

■■HUM -m- inirawa
Everybody knows that malaria, chills and fever, ague and such disorders, are caused by poison.
Do you know how to prevent the poison from getting into your blood; how to drive it away, when there ?
Take Thedford’s Black-Draught, the great vegetable liver regulator, so successful for over 70 years, through
out the Southern States.
No other like it, except its imitations, and those only in outward appearance.
Appearances, and imitations, are deceitful.
So be suro you insist on the genuine—
Thedlord’s
Edna Rutherford, of Atlanta, Tex., writes: “Thedford’s Black-Draught has done me so much good that I
wish to publicly acknowledge it. I suffered for five years with dumb chills and fever, more than I can tell. I tried
all the medicines I could think of, but they did me no good. At last I took Thedford s Black-Draught and am wod
derfully improved. 1 am better now than I have been for many months, thanks to your wonderful medicine.”
Sold everywhere, in 25c and $1.00 packages.
