Farmers Should Own Their Farms. Fnion (' l lv, (id., Oct. I.—Pres ident <'harlea S. Barrptt preuehes the sound doctrine of the farmer owning the acres he tills in a statement j iint issued to the tneia bers of the Fanners Futon. He declares that one of tin* greatest evils in America today in feudalism in the country—the condition which makes so many farmers mere tenants of the land from which they wring a living, lie warns farmers to buy now, because farm lauds are rapidly advai ring in value, and in a lew years ownership will he n sure en ough luxury. His statement is as follows: “ I'o the Officers and Members of the Farmers i'nion: “One of tile greatest <•\1 1 is America is facing today is feudal-; i- in in the country district —in oilier words, that condition which makes millions of farmers ten ants upon tie- land from which i tln-y mlist earn a living. •‘Americans have fought to the; last ditch for their homes. It i a humorous axiom t hat no man I ever stood m I In- Inst ditch for Ins i hoarding house, and it is certain that no farmer is going to dis charge Ins duty, in times of peace] or war, if the roof that shelters! him is the property of anot her i man and the acres that teed him | are simply rented for a year or a term ot years. “The entire nation is more or 1,-ss wrestling with the problems of tenancy, lint it is probable tlie Southern states are called upon to face ii m its most aggravated form. “ I know of not one, but scores of i list aliens in which Southern far is actually rejected propos als I>v which they might easily have acquired their own farms. They prcferied instead to lent; the laud upon either a system ol ‘cropping’ or of money payments which in a few years would aggre gate more than the entire cost ol the place. “Such a policy, and it is pursu ed in the South to a ruinous ex j tent, leads nowhere save to des I poudeuc) or utdtffereul pfoipwt* ty. “So that one thing the Farmers I'lUon has endeavored to oticour- j age, has been personal ownership ol the farm by its members against that vicious system ol i ‘cropping’ l>v which the tenant is] little better than slave to the land] holder. “The man who does not own I his farm is likely to be almost ] constantly in debt to Ins landlord. ] From one year’s end to another his obligations are perpetual ami self renewing. He inust consult Ins landlord regarding what crops and how much of each crop he j shall cultivate. Often he is tin- 1 der debt for the very necessities] ol life, and in a few cases 1 have I know n his type to drag out a hand j to in-mth existence. “1 sound this warning now. so] far as regards the South, as well as every other section of the na tion, that at the galloping rate land- are enhancing owning your ow n tat m a tew years hence will be a luxury. Today only acer tain amount of'enterprise, self-de nial and thrift is essential. The process is open la the humblest • and poorest farmer in America “Hand m hand with home own ing should g > the policy »d scion tilic and diversified fanning. “During the panic of 1007 1 know several w is- farmers in the immediate neighborhood of my hone- who raised on their places every product necessary to the sustenance of man and beast. “These men weathered the roughest part of the panic almost m ignorance <d the existence ot such a thing. They would not, in fact , have known of the existence of a panic had it not bean for the straightened circumstances of their s- wide-awake friends, many of whom had to borrow money with which to buy food brought from outside the state, when that food should have been raised upon their ow n acres. “We are not yet immune to panic- in this country. The visi tation of IttiiT will sooner or later be repeated. “If you raise your own food supplies as well as for your cattle and stock you will not feel the pinch of panic. “In this connection it is hardly necessary for me to say that diver sified agriculture means you shall make cotton largely a surplus crop. “ The fanner who ‘single shots’ ]on cotton is putting all his eggs in basket He is paying tribute t o t lie Western cattle and grain dealer out of Ins cotton money for the supplies with which to raise his cotton crop. “Jl«-is mortgaging his main ] money er >p before the latter g<jfis in the ground—and that is i tin- worst economic fallacy that could be perpetuated. “I know that it. will require self sacrifiee for a time, the deny ing one's self ot small luxuries, both to own one’s own farm and perhaps to practice diversified j agriculture. The game is worth : tin- caudle. “< diaries S. Barrett.” SOB TAYLOR TO LEAD TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS. Nashville, Tenn. — Our Holt” is tn be the g' at sacrificed on the altars of I’att* rsonian Democracy. The convention of regulars, the 1 “harmony convention,” assetn ! bled today, will most certainly j nominate tin* present I oiled State- senator for governor against t lie earn!idut.e of the I miependent- Republican fusion tats, Ben \\ . Hooper. Senator Bob Taylor lias been twixt bis Satanic majesty and the in for many weeks past.. He o n ried from Washington when dreaded Kepubllean alliance . ned probable, declaring he i w ~j<l stump the state for Putter ! soi, or whoever might be “it.’’ But Patterson withdrew from the race, and when Senator Bob ] reached Tennessee he found him self in a state divided. Suddenly remembering his lecture engage* ] ments in Texas, he abandoned his ! purposed stump expenditon and has not been so active for tie* reg | übus as had been expected. But ! now he finds himself theatamiard j bearer of tie* “harmony’’ contin gent. It is tie* first known in stance of a Fnited Stati's senator , running for governor, but In* has a good thing at that If le* fails of eli cl em In* still has liis seat in tin* senate —so how much does Senator Bob desire the guberua i tonal chair? Today's convention has dele gates from every one of tie* 9t> counties in Tennessee, and they are all for “Fiddler Boh,” present United States senator and three times governor of this state. I'avlor will h.* nominated by acclamation to replace Malcolm K. Patterson, present governor, I whose retirement was forced af ter having been nominated for a t bird term.
