WES7 GE7JING INTO LINE FOR FARMERS' UNION WORK; ORGANIZATION GROWING President Barrett Is sues Address to Union. President Charles S. Barrett has ad dressed, through The Georgian, the following message to the Farmers' Union: Brethren: It la with feelings of pride and grati tude that I Issue to you at this partic ular time an address expressive of my appreciation of your marvelous growth and development. Within the last month It has been my great pleasure to traverse many of the great states of the West, where | but a few months ago not even the nabe of the Farmers' Union was known, and certainly nothing of Its ! high and noble principles). In every l community I met men «*to were anx iously Inquiring about It, .from one end of the country to the other. The growth and development of the union was so marvelous that even I was not prepared to believe the fuO reports as • they had come to me, but when I went and saw for myself, I had do say that the half had not been told: to me. Tlie West is getting Into line, and ■tats after state Is being organised. Thousands of farmers ore Joining the Farmers' Union dally, aifact which can not help but be gratifying to every true union man In the country. To the Southern cotton grower, the Western grain grower sends n message of cheer. "Tour light is righteous, since It Is founded upon the iprlnclples of equity and Justice." "We brethren of the great grntn- growlng West are willing to ■ strike hands with you nml keep step and march shoulder to shoulder until we hare won a glorious victory.” The West stands ready to co-operate with the cotton growing states In any under taking that looks to the advancement of the cotton Intercede, and the cotton states are equally as willing to land their aid to the grain-growing section, that It, too, may share In the successes of the anion. There is no Rivalry. There Is and caa be no -unbusiness like rivalry between the two sections, for both sections are equally Interested In eliminating Speculative features that are detrimental to the Interests pf the farmer. ’ In the South the cotton grower, through, organised-affort, has, during the past season, been enabled to main' tain the price for cotton at the mini mum price a, set at Texarkana last Heplember, and soon tha West will get belter prices for her grain and the ad vance In price of the two great crqps will not prove Injurious to either sec tion. Rid of Speculation. The farmers alike of the South and the West have been struggling for years to free themselves from oppres sive conditions forced upon them by the speculative Interests. In thin they have within the last few months been measurably successful. An Increase In tnc price of corn to the grain grower win not materially affect the cost of It to the cotton grow er, and yet at the same time the grain grower will receive more for hit grain than he hat under previously existing circumstances, nnd the cotton grower, without materially Increasing the price of manufactured products to the West ern grain grower, has received better prices for his cotton than It has been Ills custom to receive. My brethren, for this happy condi tion of alfalrs you have the union to thank. Almighty God, In His provi dence, lias seen fit to bless and pros per us, and to place within our reach tremendous possibilities. Let us as becomes union men seize these oppor tunities, Improve them and place the union this year,on such a solid founda tion that all the opposing powers can not oven shake It. C. 8. BARRETT.

In some placeb to a very noticeable degree. Scientists have careful records of this brood, which goes back 104 years, ap pearing regularly every thirteen years. The very interesting account of the locust printed below was prepared for The Georgian by William B. Hlnman, a 12-year-oTd pupil of tho Marlst College. It describes the Insect, how it appears, Its habits and characteristics very clov. erly: Tho Thirteen-Ysar Looust. We, are now In the much-talked-of locust season. This Insect, after being thirteen years In. the ground, has come Into the open. A record has been kept ehowtrig that It appeared thirteen years ago. The thirteen-year locust Is a very beautiful Insect when it Is full-fledged, especially when Its wings arc spread out. /It. comes up out of the ground anywhere from 8:30 to 8 o'clock In the evenings. After It comes Into the open It begins to dry off, and when suffi ciently dry the brown shell on Its back cracks open. It does not look very beautiful now; but wait. Now he begins slowly but surely to come out of hie shell.. But when he Is out hs does not leave the shell directly. He clings to It for a while. Now ho le u very beautiful Insect—a soft white nearly all over. After clinging to his shell for a while he turns dark. This Is because he Is getting dry. It Is the male Insect that does the slnglnv. Under the left wing Is a small white bunch made up of a series of white paper-llko substance, In shape very much like the pointed end of a flatiron. They lie one row on top of another, and are round Ilka finger rings. This bunch IS hollow, so that when he sucks in the air, after puffing out the member, it makes a crackling noise, although.a number of them high up In a tree make a humming sound. This Is because the sound mingles to gether. 1 • v , ' . Description of Locust In the front half of the body of both poxes wo find six leg* three on each side. Every leg Is divided . Into three parts, the largest one being at the top, ’the otner two growing smaller down near the end. This part of the body Is nearly: the color of a crab, found on the beach, If you have never seen a crab I will'tell you that It Is a bright' red. This Is the case In the up per Joints, the lower onos looking dark er. -, This Insect Ims four wings, which are held to the body by a membrane. On looking closely at one of the wings, It reminds you of a quslnt old- church window, with yellow woodwork around It. On every wing. If examined close ly, wc will See tho letter “W" near the end. Is Very Red-Eyed, Its especial characteristic la. Its red eye* It can bo distinguished from other kinds of locusts by this. Under the body ■ and coming out from the mouth Is a member that looks like a bill. It goes between the two front legs and the Insect sticks It Into the wood and sucks the sap out ot the branch. The back part of the body Is very much like the member with which the sound Is made, only brown and very much larger. / When the female Insect has been for nearly u week out of the ground, she begins to lay her eggs. She bites little places In the tender bark of small twigs, biting two rows on each side of It. In these she lays her eggs. When they hatch the small Insects fall on the ground and begin to claw down ward. They claw until they get near some roots, and a9 they are near the tree when they fall,, they naturally reach something before going very far down. But sometimes they do not strike anything, and ga down four or five feet. They eat so little that they do not develop very fast, and It takes thirteen years of time before they come up out of the ground again. In the North, where it Is colder, It takes sev enteen years for It to develop. WILLIAM B.
