much more than twenty miles from

are very anxious to meet them half

Now, let us consider the work of
die Fai men' Union in Mississippi as
set forth by Editor R. A. N. Wilson
of theUnion Advocate: .
"The practicable plan for helping
the cotton situation Is as follows:
"A private corporation.-
"Three-fourths of 'the cotton
growers io each State should become
stockholders in this corporation.
"Construct a sufficient number of
warehouses in each State to hold
one-seventh of that State's crop.
"Managers of all warehouses', to
be bonded.
"Negotiable receipts for each bale
of cotton ttf be issued through these
bonded managers,-' : '
"Cotton insured as desired. : .'
' "Contract for holding cotton to be
signed by owners as conditions war
rant V ; - '
"A central office of direction, ' all
officials being bonded. J ' : ;
"A central grading and classing
department where all samples may
be filed.- - - '7 r'-: ;;'.; ,
"All cotton to be sold through this
central office on uniform grades.
"The Farmers' Warehouse Com
pany of Jackson, Mississippi, is oper
ating under the foregoing plan
which is briefly outlined. It has
seventy-five warehouses , in i the
State of Mississippi. It contem
plates taking over twenty .ware
houses in Tennessee within the next
ninety days. It has perfected ar
rangements by which it is to handle
i he Sea Island cotton crop of South
Carolina. ..
.- "Preliminary arrangements have
been made whereby Jt will construct
warehouses throughout the State of
South Carolina and negotiations are
under way for similar work "in
North Carolina and Georgia; Some
work of this character is also being
done in Southern Missouri.
"The company haa a capital stock
of approximately -1240;000. it has
assets of $350,000. .We began busi
ness two years ago under the man
agement of one man with a borrow
ed typewriter and no assets.:'
"To-day it has one hundred and
fifty employes. , , i ., -v.. :
"It has upon storage now thous
ands of bales of cotton in the State
of Mississippi, -i
"Practically the entire amount of
cotton on storage is being held - for
an increase in price! 1 Upon a large
part of this cotton, money has been
Joaned to growers. The company is
in position to lend a reasonable
amount ori'ey,bale stored in one
of its warehouses. ? ;

are cotton growers ' . ' h ? , ,
"It has an efficient 'organization,
both in the field and at its central
office. AH managers and officials
are bonded. It has a high standing
among the financial interests of "this
SUte. :' . : , '
"The plan has been tn operation
two years and has proven thorough
ly practicable in evry, way. '
''W.hat is needed ,-now is , the- co
operation of all people throughout
the whole South who desire to com
plete a method whereby cotton may
be sold at prices based upon the law
of , supply ; and demand. It is a
;waste of energy, time and money to
promote other plans' or schemes.
The Warehouse Company's plan is
subject to InveatigaUon by any and
everybody.- The company will take
pleasure in showing) the details of
its method to -anybody : who Will

Wky Leave Tka Farm, Taaa Haa.
There is a constant drift of country
reared .boys to the city.. Few of
them realize the serious mistake
they make until it is too late. .The
environments of the county boy are
tbe best for the development of a
man. And, to, if a young man of
energy starts out in life to make
money there is no reason why. be
should leave thejarm. Brains tuid
energy will as surely be rewarded
for effort on the farm as in ' the
marts of trade. ; Once in a while an
example comes to light which shows
what a young man on the farm 'can
do. ' Herewith we give the net re
