Why do they complain? It la because

ADDRESS OF COTTON GROWERS
Much of Industrial Strength of South
Wasted Cause for Beginning of
This Organisation.
The Texas Cotton Growers’ associa-
tion has Issued tbe following address:
On the 28th and 29th of January
next, at Waco, Tex., the mid-winter
meeting of the Texas Cotton Growers’
association will be held. The nucleus
of this association waa gotten to-
gether during the last session of the
Farmers’ congress. At a later meet-
ing, a constitution was adopted which
starts this organization along broad
and comprehensive business lines.
The fact that much of the indus-
trial strength of the south la wasted
by lack of co-operation and unity of
effort among all classes who should
share In this section's prosperity, but
suffer by its lack, and the belief that
by a fair, conservative policy and
sane business methods this condition
can be overcome, more than anything
else, are responsible for the begin-
ning of this organization. Unity of
sympathy and effort among all classes
In the east. Is the thing which has
developed their basic vocation—manu-
facturing—and haa made that section
so rich. The absence of that unity
and co-operation among us. with refer-
ence to our basic vocation—agricul-
ture—is responsible for the fact that
we must yet go to the east for the
money with which to build our rail-
roads, establish our factories and, gen-
erally, to develop our natural re-
sources. The south has lost $150,-
000,000 this year by this absurd, un-
businesslike, and all but criminal
method by which the bulk of her cot-
ton crop was marketed.
It la the opinion of all conservative
fanners, business men. and all others
who have given this matter serious
thought, that this condition eaa be
corrected, and that lb's correction
should he begun now.
We have sounded tbe sentiment of
the maet practical and successful of
our awn of different vocations, and
are certain that now la the time to
act. All classes seem willing to Join.
We do not expect to engage la any-
thing of the hurrah or spectacular
nature. We will stand for no appeal
to prejudice. We purpose to mature-
ly aad exhaustively consider the difB-
cultles which we confront, and formu-
late economically sound plans, and la
a practical and buslnesa-llkc way un-
dertake the putting of them Into ef-
fect through the Instrumentality of
successful aad practical men.
la this undertaking we will need
the counsel and co-operatloo of the
farmers. We will need the banker's
knowledge of financial affairs, and
his financial support We will need
the business experience and help of
the business man. We will need the
counsel, help and good will of all
these la the south whose condition
pros pen with the prosperity of agri-
culture, aad that includes everybody.
The purposes of this association, as
declared by Its constitution are:
"To encourage better cultural meth-
ods and Improvement of varieties of
cotton; to conserve the fertility of
the soils used In the production of
cotton and other southern citops; and
to bring about a recognition of the
common Interests between tbe pro-
deer of cotton and the financial and
business Interests of the south, and
to unite all of auch Into procuring
more rational, business-like methods
of marketing cotton and Ita by-
products.”
In addition, at the next meeting
there wt!l be offered ' the folllwlng
amendment:
“To encourage crop diversification
by the producers of cotton to the end
that, by ralalng more of their living
at home, and through the sale of
diversified products becoming market-
able at different periods of the year,
affording n source of Income which
will reduce the necessity for current
Indebtedness Incurred In cotton pro-
duction, cotton may be largely re-
lieved from forced sale, and the gen-
eral financial condition of- tbe cotton
fanner may be made more Independ-
ent.”
The constitution la In part ns fol-
lows:
"The membership of this associa-
tion shall be limited to producers of
cotton, and those known to .have In-
terests In common with the producers
of cotton, and who would profit by
whatever would profit the producer.
"All those who become members ot
this association shall, by accepting
membership therein, obligate them-
selves not to use, nor to permit
others to use this association for the
furtherance of their own or the po-
litical fortunes of others.
"No officeholder, candidate for of-
fice, or occupier of any official posi-
tion In the organization of any po-
litical party shall hold office, or be-
come a member of any permanent
committee of this association.”
The affairs of the association, aa la
usual, are by the constitution intrust-
ed to an executive committee. Thi
membership la nine.
In order to permanently Insure that
the control of this organization be
not taken from actual cotton pro-
ducers. the constitution provides "the
majority of whom (executive commit-
tee) shall be actual producers of cot-
ton.”
It la high time that we farmers,
business men, bankers, professional
men, laboring men and all others quit
pulling against each other, especially
In matters in which we are jointly
interested.
If you are a patriotic southern man
and want to help the south, the way
to do It is to help the southern farm-
er. If you really want to help him.
come to Waco on the twenty-eighth
day of January and join with ua In
this undertaking.
HOLD BOLL WEEVIL IN CHECK
Government Officials Insist Upon Ne-
cessity of Growers Encouraging
Enemies of Pest.
Government officials are apparently
keeping up their courage over the
question of cotton boll weevil. They
still Insist upon the necessity of cot-
ton growers placing emphasis upon
methods and time of planting, varie-
ties planted and cultivation. The sub-
ject is extremely complicated, and
will require additional work for sev-
eral years to come. The Insect ene-
mies of the boll weevil seem to be of
great importance, and examinations
load the investigators to hope that
these little friends of the farmers may
eventually amount ta something In
controlling this serious peBt. Those
in charge of the work say that grow-
ers must so shape planting, cultiva-
tion and harvesting as to facilitate the
activities of the natural enemies of
the weevil. This is what the experts
now accentuate in their inquiry.
The Shepherd and His Sheep.
In England many shepherds shear
sheep and lambs before putting them
on fall feed, but the practice la dying
out.
When aheep-sheartng machines first
came Into use there was much preju-
dice against them because they made
many wounds.
A little practice with a machine
quickly demonstrated that the work
can be done better with it than by
hand.
A nice fat sheep, well shorn with a
machine, looks somewhat fatter than
It really la, doubtless because the
work la so evenly done.
If you did not look carefully to the
salting of your sheep when first put
on pasture this spring, you doubtless
loet some from bloat.
A little air-slacked lime mixed with
the salt la good for sheep.
This la the best time of the year to
kill bushes and small growth of trees
that one does not wish to have grow
again. The brook alder, If cut In win-
ter will very seldom sprout again
from the stump.

egg yolks. 81ft half a teaspoonful of
aalt, two level tea spoonfuls of baking
powder and one cup of flour and stir
Into the other mixture. Add more
sifted flour till stiff enough to roll
out on a well-floured board. Roll out
half at a time, enough to cover the
bottoms of one or two well-greased
square or oblong tine to the thickness
of three-eighths of an Inch, not more.
Place a layer of fig paste (mine was
fig marmalade spread on a platter and
dried In the sun), all over the dough
and cover with another layer of dough.
So proceed till dough apd paste are
used up. 81ft a little augar on top
and bake In a rather moderate oven.
When done let It stand ten or 16 min-
utes before cutting Into oblongs and
removing from pan. They will keep
some time If locked up, aa Marlon
Harland said of her gingeranapa.
Spanish Beans.—Select the small,
dark, red beans. Look over three
cupfuls, wash and put on atove, well
covered with cold water. Bring to a
boil and boll steadily for an hour; now
drain the water from them and pour
on more, boiling hoc Put In a thick
slice of salt pork. In an hour add two
cupa of tomato, aalt, one onion,
chopped, and a large red pepper. If
Fou cannot get peppers, uae the pro-
pared chili powder. Cook five or six
hours.
Soup to Serve In Cupa.—The beat
soup to serve In cups la one that has
a fine flavor. It must be hot, seasoned
and nourishing, a bit of lemon Im-
proves bouillon. For potage dea gour-
mets, a highly praised soup, uae
chicken stock clarified with chopped
beef, reduced, thickened very slightly
with arrowroot, garnished with calf's
head and fresh mushrooms, en juli-
enne, and chicken quenelles; add very
little sherry.
White Soft Soap.
One can perfumed lye, five pounds
drippings or grease, one-half pound
borax, eight gallons cold water.
Melt grease or drippings and strain;
when cool enough to bear the hand In
It, then add the lye and stir with a
stick until all ts dissolved; add borax
and stir. When all la well blended add
eight gallons of cold water (hard or
soft) and stir about five or ten min-
utes. In three or four days It will be
firm like jelly, making an excellent
aoap for boiling clothes, making them
white and sweet. Also good for wash-

butter, one tablespoonful of flour In a
hot saucepan. Then add a cupful each
of the following: Brown sugar, bolted
cider and boiling water. Mix well, let

Cranberry Pin.
Nearly everybody cooks cranber-
ries before making them Into a pie,
but we like this recipe much better:
Chop fine one cup of cranberries, add
a cup of augar and the yolka of three
eggs; stir together and bake with only
one crust When the pie is done,
spread over the top the beaten whites
of the eggs (flavored with one tea-

augar). Set in the oven for a few
minutes until the frosting is of a deli-
cate straw color.
Peanut Butter.
Grind peanuts through meat or food
chopper; make paste with olive oil;
two teaspoonfula of melted butter
added to potato cream soup, cream
of corn or to many of the other vege-
table soups gives a new and appetis-
ing flavor.
