I Farmers Ur\ion By §
1 y Prof. J. M. DAVIS M
Department GLENWOOD, GA.
The Itil-or-Misa-ll Plan.
Those who farm on the hit-or
miss-it plan are quite sure this fall
to, in the absence of a better tem
perance tonic for discouraged and
disappointed farmers, have to
“tank up” on that old remedy our
grandmothers used to call “grin
and indure it.”
The Outlook Discouraging.
The cotton crop in this section
is in a most discouraging condi
tion, due to the droughth and
very hot weather. Just how much
the cotton crop has been damaged
recently is very difficult to deter
mine. Various estimates have
been made of the damage. 'Some
think that the cotton crop of our 1
section will not average more than j
from 50 to (30 per cent, of a crop.
If the weather conditions pre
vailing liexe extend yftry generally
over the cotton belt the situation
would of course be much more
encouraging for us as the cotton
crop would then be one of the
shortest m years, and this would
send prices sky-high; but if the
prevailing conditions here are only
local, and not general, our short
age will effect the yield but little,
and we are most assuredly con
fronted by a very discouraging
state of affairs.
The Advisability of Planting Early
Is very strongly impressed from
the fact that cotton that was
planted late has been damaged
worse by the droughth than cot
ton that was planted early. In
fact late planting very seldom ev
er does as well as early planting.
Farmers would all do well to bear
this in mind till next year and
profit by tins year’s discouraging
experience.
The Importance of Raising Stock
In our section was very forcibly
impressed upon the writer’s mind
a few days ago when one of Ins
voting neighbors, Mr. Lee Coney,
drove up to his gate and called the
writer’s attention to a 27-months
old Geargia raised colt, for which
he paid $175 cash, and for which
he would not take anything like
S2OO. The colt weighs oyer 800
pounds, and an all-round prettier
colt is seldom brought to this
State from any of our great stock
raising sections. This empha-J
sizes the fact that just as fine
stock can he raised in our wire
grass region as can be raised in the
hluegrasß region.
Whisky Ads.
A resolution passed by the Geor
gia State Convention, with only
one dissenting vote, requested ev
ery member of the Farmers’ Un
ion as far as practical to refuse to
subscribe for any paper that car
ries whisky ads.
The Farmers’ Union News in
speaking of this resolution says
that it is very clear, unselfish ami
sound and that that paper has al
ways refused liquor ads, believing
them to be immoral, as they
would improperly influence the
young minds of the home. So it
would seem that the prohibition
sentiment is destined to cover
Georgia as the waters cover the
sea.
The National Coaveolion
Will beheld the first, second,
third and fourth of September in
Fort Worth, Texas. This will
jierhaps be the largest gathering
of farmers that ever met in con
vention on this continent and will
be a most important and enjoya
ble meeting. Go if you can.
The State Fair.
The Farmers’ Union has taken
charge of the agricultural depart
ment of the State Fair foe this
fall. Montgomery county should
be heard from at this fair. Will
the Union in our county arrange
to have exhibits there? This, it
would seem, is an important ques
tion just at this tune.
Not Fighting Everybody.
The Farmere’Union is not fight
ing anybody these day's except
those who are in its way'. This
would naturally suggest the ques
tion, “Who are in its way?” Well, I
nobody except the fellow who is
not willing for everybody to have
! a “square deal.”
Some thought when the Union
first made its appearance that it
would make war on the local mer
chants and other business .men,
but not so. These local dealers
and business men are not giving
the Union any trouble. The Un
ion is not to he confounded with
the old Farmers’ Alliance. No I
It’s quite a different breed. The
Alliance just spelled to “baker,”
but the Union has spelled that
page and gone on.
Another Noticeable Feature
Os the Union is the fact that a
man who is really of the type to
make a good member of the or
ganization is not made of the
timber to make a “grindstone
turner.” The old Farmers’ Alli
ance tried turning the grindstone
till they blistered their hands,but
the Farmers’ Union never turns
the grindstone, and this organiza
tion is shy of the fellow who has
an axe to grind.
A Thrifty Farmer
Is quite likely to always have
something to put on the market.
A few hogs, a fine cow or two, a
home-raised horse or mule, a few
bushels of corn, some fine hay or
fodder,some tine “country hams,”
vegetables, choice butter, poultry,
eggs, fruits,’ melons, etc., ready
to he put on the market at conve
nient times along through the
year would quite likely pay the
current expenses on the farm. The
cotton crop would then be a clear
profit and its proceeds could then
find its way into the bank as a de
j posit to your credit, and not sim
ply he applied to the payment of
your notes at the bank.
Strengthening Your Credit
lsid matter of very great im
portance to the farmer, as well as
to anybody else. A great part of
; the business of the world is trans
acted on a credit. Credit often,
if not abused, puts money in a
man’s poeket in more than one
way. So the matter of strength
ening one’s credit is indeed a mat
ter of greatest importance.
This can be done by promptly
paying all debts. It is a pleasure
for any man to extend credit to
another who is habitually prompt
in the payment of his debts. Such
a tnan, when it becomes necessury
will usually experience no trouble
»
•in getting an extension of time,
■ for he will go about tins matter
• in a straightforward, business-1 ike
j way. Those who do a credit bus
| iness have no undue amount of
anxiety about such creditors.
Os course another way of
strengthening one’s credit is to be
careful to not strain your credit
to the last point. It you make
debts it quite likely w ill lie known
to many who you did not think
( would ever know it, and no man
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY. AUG 27. 1008,
who does a credit business wants
to put the last straw on that
breaks the camel’s hack. A good
working rule is: Make hut few
debts, and pay these promptly.
The Union Stands For
Justice, equity, and the Golden
Rule. Doesn’t this insure “a
square deal?” Such a purpose, if
carried out, will benefit a commu
nity financially, socially, and
morally. “Rut,” says some one,
“the Union won’t stick.” Well
there never has been a kicker yet
who let up kicking for a rest who
didn’t find them sticking right on
while he took his recess.
