THE EDITOR'S PLATFORM.
We will speak out, we will be heard,
Though all earths systems crack,
We will not bate a single word,
Nor take a letter back.
We speak the truth, and what care we
For hissing and for scorn, ,
While some faint''gloamings we can see
Of freedom's coming morn
Let liars fear, let cowards shrink,
Let traitors turn away,
Whatever we have dared to think
That dare we also say.

The Cotton Farmer’s Cow
- w
The farmer who grows so much
cotton that he has no room for a cow
is neglecting a chance to make some
easy money.
If lie would follow the advice of the
American Cotton Association, if lie
would plant fewer acres of cotton, use ;
carefully selected seed and fertilize
highly,—
—He would increase his production or
lint potton per acre, thereby maintain
ing the standard of supplies, but reduc-
ing the net cost per pound;
He would have left acreage on his
farm to keep cows, to raise hogs, to
grow fruits and vegetables and grains.
These would feed his family and give
him enough extra cash so that ho could
store his cotton in the system of ware
houses advocated by the American Cot
ton Association and get for it a L.iv
apd equitable price. - -

finding freedom from the all-cottoa sys
tern, with its poverty and privations,
by keeping cows whose milk is made
into cheese. These farmers bank their
cotton money as pure velvet.
This bank, first, last and all the time,
is for the American Cotton Associa
tion's program of better cotton, higher
prices, diversified crops—and more
money for all.
