are up to the level that has been de-

ed with copies of this call. It is fig-
ured by the officials of the organiza-

I can conceive of no nobler calling
than to cultivate the soil, and the
sensible farmer will look to his cellar
and find first If It la empty. If so,
what are the best family staples to
put in It? After finding out what tho
best things are to support one's fami-

farmer to have a nice young orchard,
for the luscious fruits, sunkissed with
red gold, are not only health-giving,
but are certainly gems from the skies

does not love to see the plum tree lu

to see the butterfly with burnished

For the season of 1904 there were
about thirteen and a half million bales
of cotton produced In the United
States, and It sold at an average price,
of about 9 cents. For the season of
1905 there were about ten million
bales produced, and It has nearly all
been sold at a price but little above
that of the preceding season. And
why is this thus? Because the far-
mers sold the big crop of 1904 slowly,
the buyers from towns having to go
to the farms and hunt up the cotton,
while the farmers have nearly broken
their necks getting to town and hunt-
ing up the buyers to get rid of the lit-
tle crop of 1905. But each was afraid
of the others, and the mission of the
Farmers Union is to make farmers
believe in one another.—Farmers

CAN YOU GET AROUND THIS?
Diversify your crop. Everything
that grows in or out of the ground
can be raised profitably in Texas.
When a farmer raises poultry, eggs,
butter, hogs, fruits,' vegetables, corn,
wheat, oats, hay, onions, potatoes,
cabbage, peanuts and everything that
he needs for the sustenance of his
family at home, and cotton as a side
line, then he is not very much exer-
cised as to the price of cotton. If
the price don't suit him he can roii
the cotton under the shed and wait
till the price does suit. See?—Cres-
son Courier.
It is by raising the things enumer-
ated above that the farmer has in
part been enabled to get a good price
for his cotton. All the suggestions
made by advisers and by speculators,
to the effect that the farmers ought
to hold their cotton for a better price,
might have amounted to little if the
farmer had been forced to sell be-
cause he had to have the money to |
There is still a row on among some

fication has enabled the farmer to
hold his cotton. If the conditions,
that is, if the old policies of farming
were in vogue now as when such pol-
icies bound the farmer to the single-
cotton crop, all the expostulations
from all the wise men in the world
would not prevent the farmer from
selling his cotton. His merchant and
his debts would have made him carry
it from the field to the gin and from
the gin to the market, and there he
would have to take whatever was
given him for it. The man whose
family has no clothes and whose lard-
er Is empty is not the man who fixes
the price of cotton or anything else.
