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.
