THE FARMERS'
UNION DEPARTMENT
(By M.. A. Drinkard)
To the Editor;
The great problem solved or-
ganization of the people concen-
tration of their capital iiud the
co-operation of the members. Of
course we have all enjoyed the
frHternid part of our organiza-
tion but the time has come when
we miiHt grapple with the great
business proposition of our coun-
try if we hope to succeed in the
nd. The enemy in begging on
every side by concentration of
their capital and the most ragged
co-operation. Our only hope is
to lay hold on the strong arm of
competition and press along the
same line.
We have I n assailed in Has-
kell County by one of the most
tyrannical oil mill gin systems
that ever disgraced any country.
We decided the 2 2d day of July
to build ns a gin of our own and
the 9th day of September we
were whistling for cotton. They
said wc could not. build n gin but
we did. When we got it built
they snid we could not run it but
we did. They told us when they
bought the eighth stand in the
little town that they had bought
that territory. We told them
heir title was not good and you
will be surprised when 1 tell you
that while they ginned six bales
we ginned twelve hundred bales
and gained the completest vic-
tory 1 ever saw.
We have a $7000 gin plant that
is second to nobody's gin in its
size. It is a 4x70 saw pratt hull-
cr gin with all the machinery up
to date. With a reasonable sea-
son this year we will pay our gin
out and it won't cost us a dollar
nor we wont have any of our
money tied up in a gin company
either. How is that tor co-operation?
Now if any of you boys
would like to have a gin of your
own like that if our good editor
will give me n little space in his
most valuable paper 1 will tell
you how to build it.
We had such good success with
our gin. We have been looking
around to sec what is the next
best thing to try and we have de-
cided to try creamery for luck.
Wc have organized a creamery at
O'Brien Texas wilh a f 1000 cap-
ital stock. The par value of one
share is $10.00. The largest in-
dividual stockholder is ten shares.

The Best Pumping
Thousands of thoughtless farmers are doing the
work of engines. Pumpih- water for stock and run-
ning all sorts of machines by muscle powea. Burning
up human energy instead of cheap gasoline. It's the
. lost expensive mistake a man can make a man can
make to become a mere machine. Don't do it.
Pumping by Engine
Power is Play!
A man can "takeit easy" in the shade
while the Farm Tump Engine works.
The busy little engine is on the job ar.d
the cattle drink all they want. While
cmoking his pipe the farmer is tninh- -'
get that dandv little engine long ago! . -It's
the best 'hired man on the place !" V
Moral: Get a Fuller
Farm Fump Engine.

Snyder Texas-
By the time we get the creamery
to running we hope to place one
share in three hundred ineii'n
hands. You see the stockholders
will be the cream furnishers. It
is unfortunate that we can't all
live close to a good market. It is
too far to carry our supplies to
the market but by concentrating
a little of our mouey and build-
ing us a creamery and then co-operating
we can bring the market
to us. Now if we can get the co-
operation in the creamery we did
in the gin we will develop this
country until the people will be
proud of the country and the
country will be proud of teli peo-
ple. 4. N. Hudson O'Brien

The Will of The People
The common run of the people
who have gotten tired -of being
held up in the politicians want
the initiative referendum and im-
perative mandate called ujst now
the recall enacted into a law.
The cities of the State several of
them have elected to run their
government under the initiative
referendum and recall and have
applied their legislature to enact
the in ssary legislation. This
has been done by the House el d
Senate in the face of threats of
(iovernor Colquitt that he would
not only veto the bill if it hail ti e
retail feature in it but hit be
was so radically opopsed to the
initiative and referendum. .Yon:
Austin it is learned that about a
week ago (Iovernor Colquitt re-
ceived a letter from I'nitcd States
Senator .Joseph Weblon lli'iley
applauding the stand of the (iov-
ernor in respect to the recall .Hid
the initiative and referendum
While the Farmers' Enion and
the Co-Operator are not in parti-
san polities still they have tie
right to say what they want and
to find out what servants of theirs
are serving them and which are
double dealing with a view of
feathering their own nests. The
people have a right to express
themselves and ask their servants
in the legislature or Congress to
give them what they want and
there fthoulri be individual will
that can defeat' them through
veto or any other way otherwise
the rub; of the people is dead and
an oligarchy has been substituted.

The Parcels Post
The commercial interests inso
far as the merchants are eoneern-
d. have declared themselves as
opposed to the parcels post. The
chairman of the executive com-
mittee of the convention of South
ern merchants to be held in
Nashville February 28. to crystal-
ize sentiment in opposition to a
parcels post announces tnai me
commercial bodies of the south
ore lining up solidly in support of
the move. Austin Little- Koek
Ark. have joined the campaign
and letters were received by the
above mentioned chairman of the
executive committee of appre
ciation of the move from (Jovcr-
nor Harmon of Ohio and from
(iovernor Oscar Branch Colquitt
of Texas. Hie miter ol tlie

Poultry Pointers
Keeping the drinking vessels
clean and Ihercfore free from
disease genus will often prevent
sickness among chickens.
More corn my be fed during
the winter for the heat of the
bodies of poultry must ! main-
tained or the fowls cam ot lay
well.
Dining very cold nights put
the male birds in boxes or barrels
iiid cover over with one thick-
ness of burlap to keep their
combs from freezing.

Orchard and Garden
That like produces like how well
we know j
I5ut even nature sometimes
jumps a cog';
For do the vegetables each year
we grow
Look like the pictures in the
catalogue?
A light rich loamy soil grows
the bes radishes.
A rich soil well drained is best
for asparagus.
Khubarb may be planted as
soon as the ground will do to
work.
The early planted potato es-
capes many troubles such as bugs
dry weather etc.
Murning the trash and trim-
mings in the gard-n will get rid
of a good many insects in hiber-
nating there.
In priinning trees leave limbs
that are low but avoid a danger-
ous crotch by leaving limbs op-
posite each other.
In 1K!8 Kansas had Vj million
bearing apple trees. In 1!)0!
there were only 6 million left.
Not much progress in that.
Sowing a few radish seeds in
the rows plainly before the on-
ions come up so they can be hoed
or cultivated sooner.
In starting a strawberry bed it
is a good plan to get at least
three different varieties of plants
one early one mid season and one
late kind so as to have ripe her-
ries over a long season.
J'dackberries and nispbcrrh i
thrive on many different kinds of
soil tinder many different condi-
tions and few fruit crops are
surer than these. Start a small
patch this spring to have for
home use.
Will our successful sweet po-
luii iM-riM-ei-M write in and tell
how they go about raising a goud
crop of "sweets J eveiH.
