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.

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.
