WHAT CO-OPERATION CAN DO
Farmers' Union Was Instrumental In
Raising Price of Cotton 80 Farm-
ers Made Some Money.
I first want to call the attention of
our farmer brethren to the condition
that existed Just before the launching
of the Farmers' Union. In tbe South,
at least In the cotton states. It Is a
well-known fact that not only had the
price of farm products gone so low
that it was next to Impossible for the
tillers of the soil to make a living,
writes H. Beecher Lewis of Arkansas
in the Texas Co-Operator. All the
smaller farmers, and also some of
those who farmed on a large scale,
were unable to obtain any profitable
returna from their farms. And it will
be remembered that although the con-
ditlons were apparently that way all
over the country, no one seemed able
or willing to suggest a remedy until
the fanners themselves decided that
there was something wrong and de-
termined to seek for a remedy. So
the Farmers' Union was launched
and resulted In much good. Let us
190k and sum up some of the things
that the Farmers' Union has accom-
plished.
First. It was Instrumental In raising
the price of cotton and cotton seed so
that In five gears' time the difference
in the price netted tbe farmers about
eleven hundred million dollars. More
money then than they would have got-
ten had not the farmers organized
and made an effort to relieve them-
selves. Yet some of the wise ones
*av, "O. the farmers can't do any-
thing." And not only that, but how
many anti-bucket shop laws were
there upon tbe statutes of any state
when the Farmers' Union was orga-
nized? I say not one. Only a few
s'ates. and as a result the speculator,
who Is always looking for these

To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers' Union:
The current presidential year will
probably see more glittering promises
peddled to tbe fsrmers than upon
similar occasions In many decades. On
both sides, and tbe factions on both
sides, the contest is hot and close.
They are playing to every element to
boost their stock. And the farmer's
vote will be coaxed and cajoled and
hypnotised by every device known to
ancient and modern politics.
I have made it no secret that I have
been able to be of service to ths
farmers of this country because I took
the promises they made at every hal-
lulejah meeting to overturn the uni-
verse with several gralna of salt
If you want to get the most results
out of the politicians who will be ap-
pealing for your votes from this time
forward, I recommend a similar
course to you.
There Is, however, a difference be-
tween the politician g'lbly offering all
sorts of promises and tbe farmer vol-
untarily offering to do anything under
high heaven to further the common
cause.
Nine-tenths of the promises the poll-
cians make with a smiling face are
spoken simply for the purpose of
catching votes. There is no desire or
intention to redeem them.
Work a farmer up to a boiler-burst-
lng pitch of enthusiasm at a local, or
county, or state convention, and he Is
prodigal with his promises—but, at
the time, be honestly believes he will
keep them.
Later, when he reaches home and
the "feeling" has died away, and he
gets busy patching the fences, or re-
pairing the roof or keeping the grass
out of the cotton, the promise oozes
out of his mind like water out of a
leaky barrel. Sometimes, too. he gets
suspicious of his officials. Jealous of
other members, dissatisfied because
the Union haan't reformed the uni-
verse over night, and considers him-
self absolved from his pledge. It all
amounts to the same thing In the long
run.
Because the two parties, with all
their factions, are on their toes, po-
litically speaking, this year, fighting
for life and public favor, it is one of
the beet opportunities recently pre-
sented for the farmer to secure those
things, in a legislative sense, for
which he haa long been contending.
When tbe situation crystallises, lat-
er on, I may have something to say
touching what the politicians offer the
farmers, and how much reliance can
be placed upon specific pledges.
It is as yet too early to gauge the
line-up, and it is the part of wisdom
to see what Congress is going to do
before we Jump to conclusions, or
adopt hasty action.
I. do not look for tbe present session
to accomplish wonders In the way of
legislation of any sort, since both par-
ties in house and senate are Juggling
for advantage, and have an eye more
to catching popular favor than to en-
acting measures genuinely construc-
tive.
But first, last and all the time, bear
In mind that when the temptation
seizes you to get overheated about
some particular political favorite-
keep your vest down, your head cool
and treat the candidate bidding for
favor with Just as much suspicion as
you do tbe other fellow in a horse
trade.

Clothss and ths Msn.
A colporteur in South Carolina,
walking many miles through mud, ac-
costed a passerby and suggested the
purchase of the Bible. He was re-
fused. The next day, says the Record
of Christian Work, after a night's rest
and cleanup, he set up his stand in
town and had the pleaaure of selling
a Bible to the very man who had re-
fused to purchase the day before. "I
met a muddy man yesterday with
Bibles," said he, "who looked like a
Methodist tramp. When I buys a Bi-
ble I buys it from a Baptist gentle-
man."

PR0PER TREATMENT FOR BOY
To Kssp Youth on Farm He Should
Be Given Chance to Make Monsy
In One Way or Another.
To keep tbe boy on the farm he
should first be given the chance to
make some money by giving blm a
start with poultry or something of the
kind and give blm a piece of land on
which to raise vegetables and fruits
for the market.
He should be given a comfortable
room, books, good light, warmth, a
desk and writing materials.
For out door work build blm a
small shop with tools. Let him Invite
boy friends to visit him.
When he wishes to go to town wl(h
you let him go until he learns the way
around—and the right way.
Get him a telescope to look at tbe
stars and a microscope to study the
minute plants and Insects. Let him
have a gun and plenty of ammunition
for hunting birds, rabbits and squir-
rels. Tbe exercise will keep him
strong and healthy.
A boy treated In this manner should
be contented.
Kindness With the Team..
Uniform kindness in tbe treatment
of horses enables the driver to de-
pend upon them in all sorts of ways
that save time and lessen labor.
This Is especially noticeable In har-
nessing and unharnessing. The driv-
er accustomed to a team which has
his confidence will save hours every
month, which under opposite condi-
tions would be wasted.
Ration of Driving Horse.
The ration of tbe driving horse
should be different from that of tbe
average workhorse. This is due in a
large measure to the peculiar de-
mands of such an animal. It should
be fed with much less roughsge In (
proportion to Its sine than a horse at ;
ordinary work. Tbe roughage should
be of a different nature.
