WES7 GE7JING INTO LINE
FOR FARMERS' UNION WORK;
ORGANIZATION GROWING
President Barrett Is
sues Address to
Union.
President Charles S. Barrett has ad
dressed, through The Georgian, the
following message to the Farmers'
Union:
Brethren:
It la with feelings of pride and grati
tude that I Issue to you at this partic
ular time an address expressive of my
appreciation of your marvelous growth
and development.
Within the last month It has been
my great pleasure to traverse many
of the great states of the West, where
| but a few months ago not even the
nabe of the Farmers' Union was
known, and certainly nothing of Its
! high and noble principles). In every
l community I met men «*to were anx
iously Inquiring about It, .from one end
of the country to the other. The
growth and development of the union
was so marvelous that even I was not
prepared to believe the fuO reports as
• they had come to me, but when I went
and saw for myself, I had do say that
the half had not been told: to me.
Tlie West is getting Into line, and
■tats after state Is being organised.
Thousands of farmers ore Joining
the Farmers' Union dally, aifact which
can not help but be gratifying to every
true union man In the country.
To the Southern cotton grower, the
Western grain grower sends n message
of cheer. "Tour light is righteous,
since It Is founded upon the iprlnclples
of equity and Justice."
"We brethren of the great grntn-
growlng West are willing to ■ strike
hands with you nml keep step and
march shoulder to shoulder until we
hare won a glorious victory.” The West
stands ready to co-operate with the
cotton growing states In any under
taking that looks to the advancement
of the cotton Intercede, and the cotton
states are equally as willing to land
their aid to the grain-growing section,
that It, too, may share In the successes
of the anion.
There is no Rivalry.
There Is and caa be no -unbusiness
like rivalry between the two sections,
for both sections are equally Interested
In eliminating Speculative features that
are detrimental to the Interests pf the
farmer. ’
In the South the cotton grower,
through, organised-affort, has, during
the past season, been enabled to main'
tain the price for cotton at the mini
mum price a, set at Texarkana last
Heplember, and soon tha West will get
belter prices for her grain and the ad
vance In price of the two great crqps
will not prove Injurious to either sec
tion.
Rid of Speculation.
The farmers alike of the South and
the West have been struggling for
years to free themselves from oppres
sive conditions forced upon them by
the speculative Interests. In thin they
have within the last few months been
measurably successful.
An Increase In tnc price of corn to
the grain grower win not materially
affect the cost of It to the cotton grow
er, and yet at the same time the grain
grower will receive more for hit grain
than he hat under previously existing
circumstances, nnd the cotton grower,
without materially Increasing the price
of manufactured products to the West
ern grain grower, has received better
prices for his cotton than It has been
Ills custom to receive.
My brethren, for this happy condi
tion of alfalrs you have the union to
thank. Almighty God, In His provi
dence, lias seen fit to bless and pros
per us, and to place within our reach
tremendous possibilities. Let us as
becomes union men seize these oppor
tunities, Improve them and place the
union this year,on such a solid founda
tion that all the opposing powers can
not oven shake It.

THIRTEEN-YEAR LOCUST
HAS TURNED UP ON TIME
Ih and about Atlanta the thirteen-
year locust has appeared. In some
placeb to a very noticeable degree.
Scientists have careful records of this
brood, which goes back 104 years, ap
pearing regularly every thirteen years.
The very interesting account of the
locust printed below was prepared for
The Georgian by William B. Hlnman, a
12-year-oTd pupil of tho Marlst College.
It describes the Insect, how it appears,
Its habits and characteristics very clov.
erly:
Tho Thirteen-Ysar Looust.
We, are now In the much-talked-of
locust season. This Insect, after being
thirteen years In. the ground, has come
Into the open. A record has been kept
ehowtrig that It appeared thirteen years
ago.
The thirteen-year locust Is a very
beautiful Insect when it Is full-fledged,
especially when Its wings arc spread
out. /It. comes up out of the ground
anywhere from 8:30 to 8 o'clock In the
evenings. After It comes Into the open
It begins to dry off, and when suffi
ciently dry the brown shell on Its
back cracks open. It does not look
very beautiful now; but wait. Now
he begins slowly but surely to come
out of hie shell.. But when he Is out
hs does not leave the shell directly.
He clings to It for a while. Now ho
le u very beautiful Insect—a soft white
nearly all over. After clinging to his
shell for a while he turns dark. This
Is because he Is getting dry.
It Is the male Insect that does the
slnglnv. Under the left wing Is a small
white bunch made up of a series of
white paper-llko substance, In shape
very much like the pointed end of a
flatiron. They lie one row on top of
another, and are round Ilka finger
rings. This bunch IS hollow, so that
when he sucks in the air, after puffing
out the member, it makes a crackling
noise, although.a number of them high
up In a tree make a humming sound.
This Is because the sound mingles to
gether. 1 • v ,
' . Description of Locust
In the front half of the body of
both poxes wo find six leg* three on
each side. Every leg Is divided . Into
three parts, the largest one being at the
top, ’the otner two growing smaller
down near the end. This part of the
body Is nearly: the color of a crab,
found on the beach, If you have never
seen a crab I will'tell you that It Is a
bright' red. This Is the case In the up
per Joints, the lower onos looking dark
er. -,
This Insect Ims four wings, which
are held to the body by a membrane.
On looking closely at one of the wings,
It reminds you of a quslnt old- church
window, with yellow woodwork around
It. On every wing. If examined close
ly, wc will See tho letter “W" near the
end.
Is Very Red-Eyed,
Its especial characteristic la. Its red
eye* It can bo distinguished from
other kinds of locusts by this. Under
the body ■ and coming out from the
mouth Is a member that looks like a
bill. It goes between the two front
legs and the Insect sticks It Into the
wood and sucks the sap out ot the
branch.
The back part of the body Is very
much like the member with which the
sound Is made, only brown and very
much larger. /
When the female Insect has been
for nearly u week out of the ground,
she begins to lay her eggs. She bites
little places In the tender bark of small
twigs, biting two rows on each side of
It. In these she lays her eggs. When
they hatch the small Insects fall on
the ground and begin to claw down
ward. They claw until they get near
some roots, and a9 they are near the
tree when they fall,, they naturally
reach something before going very far
down. But sometimes they do not
strike anything, and ga down four or
five feet. They eat so little that they
do not develop very fast, and It takes
thirteen years of time before they come
up out of the ground again. In the
North, where it Is colder, It takes sev
enteen years for It to develop.
