As a moans of contracting the intluenco of tho l»«*nrs on the cotton market, the Union hint opened offices in Munches- 1 tor, England, and on tho eon-’ linent, t hrough winch saloH of cut - ton may he made direct from the producer to the spinner. \ I most every buyer wlio touches cotton j atter it leaves tho fanner’s bands has a bearish inlhieneo on the market. I In* fanner must in some I way eliminate till such buyers if he would realize an honest price . for his cotton. This can be sue*; cesrtfully done in no other way, 1 perhaps, than by soiling direct to lhe spinners. Os course the plan is new mu) will take time to ro- | veal what there it m it. both ot strength and of weakness. It is believed, though, that there is much in it in the farmer's favor. AMtlcVl TI KAJ EIU'C U IO.V . There is a scientific side to I farming. Kvery farmer should endeavor to keep up with the pro* greasive ideas of up-to-date farm ers. He eannot do this with any very great degree of pleasure or| profit without what might be call-! ed an ngricultoral edueation. One* of the best places to obtain such* an education is on an ideal farm, i Is your farm conducted so that j your sons are receiving an agri cultural education there or are they drifting into that class that learn nothing but how to kill grass? Every farmer should have in his library a number of books on ag riculture. No fanner has a mo nopoly on agricultural knowledge ami advancement. There is much > 1 1 hat an}’ farmer should learn about fanning from books on that subject if he only eared to edu cate himself along bis lino of work. Then, too, every farmer should, m addition to being a reader of at least three or four good agricultur al papers, tie a close student of j the bullet ms of the State Experi- I incut Station, llow many know about these bulletins or have ever read one? Any fanner who desir es may receive these bulletins here l>v jusi simply addressing the di reetor <d the State Experiment Karin, Experiment, On., ami state that you are a farmer and desire i tb«s.> bulletins mailed to von. A farmer running two plows omo i dd me that he would not take $oO '-a year for the benefit lie derived trom t hose bullet ins. 11l VWK Ml SIM ACKO. You hear a great deal now and j then about the mouev panic. You i may even hear that the cause ol II hi* panic i* the Farmers' Union. It is real amusing j«i»t t.> listen at people talk. \Yliy, «ome even say that the Farmers' Union i» re sponsible for the price of cotton being below lo cents a pcuud ! Os course it is real amusing to listen toil!! such; but who really be in v - stieli talk? N ver in years have we realized such a price for i«*otton as we have during the pres entseason. 1 In* Farmers Union Jins stood for higher price of cot ton. \Ye have in part realized our desires and all who had cotton to t». ll have enjoyed this increase in price. But yet you may hear that the Farmers’ Union is responsi ble for everything that goes wrong! Tho l nion, though, is moving ( j steadily onward. Till M‘>vrOOMhKY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JAN. 0, l’JOd j TIME FOR ItEFtiKM. > There is no better doctrine to i preach at this season of the year ■j t han the doctrine of diversiflca turn. Tho farmer must learn to •live a* Imme’—raise about every thing that is consumed on tho | I i farm at home. This means keep -1 : ing at home and putting into your •jown pockets the money that is us- I ually spent for those things that are not usually produced at home, for which a high price is always paid. Whoever heard of a farm er being “hard up” who raised ’ | plenty of corn, oats, hay, pota -1 tees, hogs and cattle, in fact, ev ■ crythmg needed on his farm? Os course cotton must have the right of way on farms in the South, yet ■ wo must realize the fact that there '! are other things that can be raised ito advantage here. Diversifica tion is the keynote to profitable farming in the South. Many who have become successful fanners have found this out and think ‘ they have found a gold mine on I their own farms. i II Prohibition in Atlanta. Friday, Jan. l\ —only eleven ar- I rest?! What a record! Such are the remarkable figures shown on the police records. Not one of | the charges was for drunkenness. “It menus that the police can give more protection to the law-abid- 1 (ing citizens than ever before, by putting a stop to the burglaries i anti hold-ups, which disorder has 1 , heretofore kept in the background l in the down-town sections,” said < Chief Jennings.
