COTTON-TARE QUESTION UP
Farmers Should Have Benefit of Full
Six Per Cent. Tare or New Basis
Should Be Established.
While our cotton farmers are dis
cussing great economic questions it
might pay them to take a snap-shot
at a few of the little ones and not
the least of these is what is known as
cotton tare or waste or to put it
more plainly, the amount that is de
ducted for bagging and ties.
Now in order to explain this mat
ter so it can be fully understood we
will say that when the exchanges of
the world set the price of cotton
every day, it is set less six per cent,
or 30 pounds to a 500-pound bale, 24
pounds to a 400-pound bale, and so on.
This amount is excessive and causes
a loss to the cotton farmers of the
south of many millions of dollars an
nually, says the Progressive Farmer.
There is no particular reason why
the exchanges should deduct six per
cent, from the price of the farmer's
cotton, as it is not necessary to put
on this amount to protect It from
damage; 4 per cent, will be found
to be sufficient covering after the cot
ton is compressed But if the spin
ners of Europe insist that the full six
per cent, shall be put on, then the
farmer and not the exporter ought
to be the one to put it on, for if he
(the farmer) does not, then he loses
the difference between what he does
put on and the full six per cent. This
amount is usually from seven and a
half to ten pounds per bale or a net
loss of 75 cents to $1 on every bale
of cotton raised in the south or say
from $12,500,000 to $15,000,000 per
year, quoting cotton at present prices.
Now it does not make any differ
ence whether the farmer sells to the
mill men or speculators at home or
abroad, his loss is equally the same
as each buy by the same emasculated
price.
There are two ways in which this
matter can be adjusted.
(1) The farmer can insist that he
be allowed to" put on the full six per
cent. tare. This, however, will be
found to be more apparent than real,
being neither a benefit to producer
or" spinner as this amount is exces
sive, therefore unnecessary.
(2) A better way, to my mind, would
be for the producers, through the na
tional government, to invite a confer
ence with the spinners of Europe at
an early date and settle the question
on a basis that will be fair alike to
the producer and spinner.'
Education Pays.

the advantages of an education. The

man with an education gets $1,000 a

trovertible proof.
I have traveled in the past year
folly one-third more miles than at any
time within my seven years a-3 head
of your organization. That means that
I have spent very few days in my
home, and altogether I have been at
home legs in the past several months
than ever before. East and west,
north and south, I have traveled al
most constantly in the cause, and I
have come in personal contact with
more individuals, attended more meet
ings, addressed more gatherings, pre
sided over more deliberations than in
any of the previous seven years.
I have satisfied more, enterprise
from one end of the country to the
other than ever before. I have made
personal investigations, talked with
the men at the head of the enterprises
and have seen the work they are do
ing. I want to say with all the em
phasis possible that nowhere have I
found ought to feel discouraged over.
More of these enterprises are prosper
ing and giving satisfaction than ever;
we have had as few, perhaps fewer,
failures than in other lines of business
endeavor.
I found with great satisfaction that
more and more of these enterprises
are being changed from joint stock
concerns to purely co-operative plants.
This is a hopeful sign, and one mean
ing much to- the Farmers' union. These
enterprises are demonstrating to the
world that solid, sane, conservative
and successful business men can be
recruited from the rank of the farm
ing class.
Out of the hundreds and hundreds
of enterprises I have visited in the
past year, a very small percentage
failed to show signs of success, and
even these few were striving to get
on their feet. More and more were
developing the right sort of men for
these undertakings. It takes grit, loy
alty, sticbitiveness and common sense
to make them succeed. We want and
welcome all of that kind of men we
can find.
More letters of inquiry concerning
the Farmers' union have reached me
within the .past twelve months than
for the entire six years prior to this
time. That sounds like an extrava
gant statement, but if you could see
iny mail every day and had to wrestle
with answering it as I do, you'd be
prepared to believe it then without
question. However, it is not an exag
geration when I make this assertion,
but a plain fact. We have received
greater and more valuable publicity
in the past year than at any previous
period in the history of the organiza
tion. The work of the union and its
achievements have come in for great
er and more valuable exploitation than
we have ever had. And this has been
through not only the union publica
tion, but through the great dailies
from coast to coast and the great
magazines of the country.
In the main, this publicity has been
fair and intelligent. It has brought
the union before the world in its
proper light, and in many instances
with a breadth of sympathy and un
derstanding. It is in a large measure
Just recognition and appreciation at
last of a real world force. That, too,
goes very far in answering our critics
and should bolster up the failing cour
age of any weak-kneed brother.
We are getting more and more fa
vorable legislation through state leg
islators. Many states have passed
numbers of excellent and helpful laws.
I might mention in particular Wash
ington and North Carolina. But other
states are waking up, and everywhere
the conscience of lawmakers seems
to be aroused to just laws to help the
farmer.
The national congress is waking up
and giving heed more and more to
the voice of the agriculturist. There
is much to be done In this line yet,
and we are hopeful of great results
ultimately. . ,
A national conference of all the
various farmers' organizations to dis
cuss and work out a general plan for
marketing farm products is something
I most heartily advise and urge. I
believe such a conference, composed
of the leading men in the several or
ganizations, could achieve great things
If approached in a broad and concili
atory spirit. Upon the solution of the
problems of adequate and proper mar
keting of farm products much depends,
In fact, the very salvation of the farm
ing interests of our country. I hope
such a conference can be had, and
that every farm organization, large or
small, will be represented in it.
Co-operative Creameries.
There are between three and four
hundred co-operative creameries in
Ireland, in addition to nearly one
hundred auxiliaries. Iowa is almost
twice as large as Ireland, yet all of
her creameries together are but little
more than the co-operative creameries,
of Ireland. But the Irish are not at
all .satisfied with the dairy situation.
In spite of the splendid pastures, that
probably are the best in the world,
the Irish cow produces an average of
4,500 pounds of milk in a year, which
is just about the same as the average
Iowa cow. Four-fifths of the milk
received by the creameries comes in
during the summer six months. Dur
