PREHIDEVT OF F IRMER*’ ( ON-

AND OUTLOOK.
ON COTTON QUESTION
i ol, Kirkpatrick Tltink** I* Mtsmid
IP- ll«* last ( rv»p Grown After
looking Out for Food for
P’aruily ami Ht<>« k.
. Colonel E. tV. Ktrkpjiri k of
McKinney, president* of the Texas
Earmrrs Congress, was in dhr-r-
man this morning on business aim
went over to Denison.
Colonel Kirkpatrick is pr*-Hi<lcnt
of the Texas Nursery company,
which has headquarters in Sherman
and Is one of the best known horti-
culturists in the south. He also
has large farming . Interests and
business interests, and has ever
been a frtedd to the man who tills
the Roll.
While in Sherman Gris morning
he talked of the work of the Texas
c armors’ Congress. He said that
at present nearly 10,000 boys and
girlw havp entered the *•< r for
the $10,000 offered In prizes by
the congress, and this of itself will
make conditions throughout Texas
better, for with that many boys
and girls trying to raise better
crops -the idea will spread to others.
Colonel Kirkpatrick expects the
number of entries in the contest to
reach between 15,000 and 20,000
before the season of planting closes.
Oiie of the indications that the
proposition is creating interest, not
only among the hoys and girls hut
also among business men and
farmers generally, is the fact that
many edunties through chambers
of commerce, farmers' institutes
and other_organizations. are offer-
ing county prizes based on the
stanuards set by the Texas’ Farm-
ers Congress.
Speaking alwut improved condi-
tion* of farming, cmdjig -other
things. Colonel Kirkpatrick said:
"T have never known it: my life as
many movements in operation cal-
culated to benefit ’ the farming
class of people. The Texas Farni-
ers"COngresS htts set a high stand
ard for the betterment of the call-
ing, and offers pay for the men who.
do the work tjjst according to the
standards set. r Texas now has an
agricultural department, doingWork
along the same lines; * tie* -* United
States department of agriculture,
through the count) demonstration
agent in conjunction with the va-
rious, counties,, is working in the
same field; agriculture is being
taught in the public /schools
throughout Texas and the South-
in at! therc^nre eighteen or twenty
organizations’working tor the uplift
of the farmer.
"This work is i-nlanded to be di-
rected to getting the best results
from the soil. To get (he great- ’
amount of product from the small
eat portion of the earth. When
peoak* leant that > n thdy culti-
vate land they own as far as they
can reach both ways tip and down
— they will begin to realize the pos-
sibilities of agriculture. Take a
plant tl.st \viil~i.v b o .G-ei Into
the ground and tea, twenty, thirt
or a hundred feet above'4he ground
and take advantage of Jill the ele-
ments that contribute to produc
tton and you have some idea of
what may be done on a small por
tion of the earth Why depend a I
together oty a plant that goes into
the ground only five or six inches
and above the ground say three
feet--cotton, for “instance—and
pans up ail other things? "
"The mail who raises cotton and
nothing else needs to be educated,
and if he cannot he he is „a hope
less loss. Every fanner should
have fruit and nuts and berries, and
all of the products the garden,
and poultry, and honor and milk
and butter and meat and lard.
These things should come „ first
to ttre-fartner. It hr his rtne-aitd
the due of his family, and the man
who walks between the plow
handles and tickles the earth and
causes her to bloom forth in her
abundance and has not these
things is not living up to his
rights and the rights of, his family.
"And then should come feed jor
his stock—-and the farmer who
does not Have plenty of feed in
his crib, be he renter ot- kind own-
er. Is not living up to his rights,
nor the rights of his stock.
’'"And then the farmer after hi?
has filled his larder and his gran-
ery, should raise sonie cotton, if he
cap do so without taking away the
rights of his children for an educa-
tion. Cotton should be the great
sur/dus crop of the South; the
money crop, and should always
bring a good price. If every farm-
er will awake to his rights, dnd
say. 'This good right arm of mine
shall tilj the soil to ‘.he end that
the earth shall be replenished and
improved, and my family properly
