1910 TOBACCO CROP
TIME TO PREPARE TO PRICE IT
Farmers' Union Does Not Want To
Hurt American Tobacco Com
pany But Means To Price Tobacco
Above Cost of Production.
Editor Reporter :
Allow me space in your val
uable paper that we may make a
few suggestions to the tobaoco
growers.
First, we will say that merely
organizing will never be of any
benefit unless some action is
taken in behalf of their interest.
The farmers should now begin to
pre(>are to price the crop raised
in 19110, just as they would any
thing else they have to sell, as all
farmers should do. And we see
no way except in the installing of
storage houses so their tobacco
can be dried and then insured.
There will be no trouble in get
ting money on the same, if any
one should want it. The differ
ent Farmers' Unions should begin
to act now, if they expect to con
trol the prices of the tobacco
crop raised in 11M0. If each man
in every county would take stock
in a storage house to be establish
ed in that county, there will be
no trouble in taking care of and
contracting the prices of the crop
raised in 1910. So begin to act
now if you expect to be benefited!
by your organizations. Nearly
every business except the farmers ;
have organized into Unions and
are being benefited by the same, 1
RS they have put their organiza
tion into effect. But it is be-!
lieved by a few farmers that the
intentions of the Farmers Union
is to drive the American Tobacco
Company out of business by legi-1
station, or in some other way,
which is a mistake. The I'nion
has no intention of hurting the
American Tobacco Company ori
any industry that is doing an
honest business, and why should
the farmers want to drive the
Tqjbacco Trust out of business
when they are buying three-1
fonrths of the tobacco raised, and
the farmer about two- j
thirds of the actual cost of raising i

it, which is more than they should
expect, for the Trust has the
power under the present con
ditions to pay them one-third of
the actual' cost or less if desired.
Now, when you hear any member
of the Farmers' Union advocating
driving the American Tobacco
Company or any other honest in
dustry out of business by legisla
tion or any other way you mark
down that that fellow knows
very little about the intention of
the Farmers' Union. The farmers
have sense enough to know
that anything raised on the farm
1 above what we can consume is
: worthless, if we should not have a
market for the same. The main
intention of the Union as we
understand it, is to price their
tobacco so as to realize something
above the actual cost of production.
Now, when labor was worth 40
cents per day, meat sc. per
pound, corn 50 cts. per bushel,
wheat 7."> cts. per bushel, the mule
to cultivate the land $75.00, the
land which the crop was grown
on worth from to $5 per acre,
the cost of raising tobacco then
was estimated at ST per hundred,
and now with meat at 15 cents,
corn $l.OO, wheat $1 50, the mule
$2OO. labor $l.X) per day, land
from $2O to $:>() j>er acre, where is
the farmers protit at it or 10 cents
per pound. The intelligent farm
er can see plainly that "he is left
several dollars in the sale of
every one hundred pounds raised.
So begin now to prepare if we
expect to realize anything from
the l'.tlO crop above the actual
cost of raising
