? -??The hardest job before the aver
age farmer is to make ?mart men and
women of his sons, and daughters, and
keep his lands from washing away.
We have econ ' some boya leave the
farm andxgc os* after their fortunes
by the way of what they thought to be
the nigh eut, and while some have
landed in prison, o thora have went op
in balloona trying to hit the ladder at
the top round, and when they lit tboy
missed the whole thing and bursted
their reputation against hard mother
earth and made it flatter than when
they first started." tSomo of these boys
think they were j as thom smarter and
do not need any ndvicft or etena to go
np .to the top of th? ladder! This
balloon business is dangerous, even to
those' who understand the business,
and as the green hands-well, mother
earth will catch them, and there !B all
the promise therejs in it.
-~ Suppot? you take a walk soma
day around . tho lower edge of your
Holde and - look there and in the
streams if yon want to know.what has
gone with toe rieh soil your fields con
tained, when you first rented it to that
one-mule renter! This man's team
ha? proven too small to pun* tho plow
deep enough to keep the land from
washing, and moat of these Mod of
renters do not moro than scratch tho
land? which shows the hard'clay most
anytime it thunders. We hr,vc long
since made our ' mind np about this
thing of .scratching up a little loose
soil to* bo moved ai?ay,intO the lower
placea and streams? We have ho coil
to apare to be drifted away ia this
.carafes manner! There can be no
system of terracing land that will
?keep the shallow ploughed soil from
washing* You must plough, deep and
put mora vegetable roots in the soil by
rotating clean cultivated crops with'
Ibmall grain and then BOW peas after
small grain.
- Tho attention of local Union o io
called to section 4 of our constitution,
which reade thus: "The obleera of a
! local Union thall be elected at the first
regular meeting in December of each
year, and shall hold for one year, or
until his fiucceaiinr fe ?se?sUs?? as?
\ cannot succeed himself for more than
lone' teitiu-.ftnrt shall; tura ave* r?U
property" be'anginpr to the Union to
bia successor in office.*' 6 We like this
part of our con a ti t ? ti cn, for several
reasons. Ono among thenvis ^that it
gives all farmers on the outside ' an
opportunity- to Come in ' andi co r re O?
any mistakes that the Union may have
made in their management, and an
opportunity to old members to make
improvements in the way of changes
that their experience ot t ho last ' y ear
may; enggeec We earnestly appeal
to aii union JAen to not allow small
prejudices orjiosher little ^personal
things to otsinfi \? their Way of putting
our best men io charge of our affaira

^tioo Settled.
f: Well, oar warehouse question ar to

have no moro talk to make on. this

nervous membare who got out o? pa

Thia plan io equlvo?ent to patting the

And where ia there er bigger fool and
more pitiful object than to eec a far

judgment go up to the cotton buyer
and ask and take the cotton specula
tor's advice instead of advising with
the organised farmer who is ia ic with
each fetter and beyond any doubt is
more honorable, baiter informed aa to
the faots of tho situation and more
willing for a fa!? deal than any of
the gang of cotton dealers in tbe
land?
Bat some folks have always made
some other folks believe that some
people arc made to do tbe work while
otbers reap the profits, and tho cotton
speculator is going to continue to work,
