The following general facts should j
be observed in making tip the ration

the grasp of a gigantic organization where master minds can conoen-

; lem the fanner, merchants and bankers, editors and statesmen must unite in
solving, 1 recognize the Farm Life Commission to b® such an organization,
in this association the farmers are recognzed and given a seat in its councils.
That organization has the stamp of approval of the leading agricultural and
i------——1 associations of the state, and its purposes are practical and its
I piaus woraabie. It is undertaking big things in a big way. Mr. S. A. Lndsey,
chairman of the Commission, contemplates a trip to Europe to study the
methods employed by older civilizations in handling their market problems.
Mr. Edwin Chamberlain is charman of the sub-committee on Rural Credits
and associated with him are some of the best bankers in the state and behind
them stands the Texas Bankers’ Association and the National Bankers' Asso-
ciation. i\tr. Chamberlain has crossed the ocean in his study and research
work and the management of the Farm Life Commission and all its sub-com-
mittees is in able hands
The plans adopted by the commission are those advocated by the Farm-
ers' Union for the past ten years and it is gratifying to llnd the merits of our
plans now recognized and the financial and commercial interests lending ba-
sis tance. We invite all organizations, local and state, all interests and all the
people to Join in a busiess solution of the greatest business problem of the
age: Farm Marketing and Rural Credits.

It may be suggested by those who have read Reports on fancy farming
that production per acre might have been increased by more intelligent cul-
tivation, but governmental and educational institutions have spent 8180,000,-
000 in the United States during the past ten years for Improving soil produc-
tion and improving seeds and plants and the most ardent advocates claim an
increase in yield of three per cent. If the business men of Texas will lay a
steady hand on the cotton crop of Texas during the first three months of the
marketing, it will add at least ten per cent to value of the • production per

panoramic view of the scenes transpiring in Texas during the past quarter of
. cemury will help u», as no one can hope to understand the farmer until
they understand his problems,
AS THE FARMER SEES IT.
Those who have stood by the wayside have seen the farmers, year by
yer, stagger to market under the weight of 4,000,000 bale* of cotton goaded
h*.^iirih^,L.bra/CJ01Pnon?ebtedneM of ,Pi,ro*jmat01y 875,000,000, and have
heard the crash of 2,400 farms per annum as they fell from the owner to the
tenant clas*4 k During the past quarter of a century they have seen the agri-
jmtturai interest* writhing in agony and, in exceptional case*, burn cotton-
have heard ua bless the boil weevil and pray for a drouth in our frenzied
effort to steady the market and balance supply with demand. They have seen
us, demented by despair, benumbed by adversity and fettered by necessity
hold out a palsied hand for relief and some of the business men who diag-
nosed our ca*e concluded that what we needed was increased 'broduction
and proceeded to help us get it.
Banquets have beeu held in cities and agricultural association* promoted
and the press has announced that a great movement for the betterment of
! agriculture is on; the farmer io told to fall .in line, follow pirated instruc-
tions; productions will be doubled and we will all live happy ever after He
’ is then urged to enter a crop contest and the farmer who wins the prize
usually Joses a crop, gets his picture in the paper and a generous press claps
its hands and shouts, “Ain’t he smart 1 Ain’t he smart!" The real farmer
looks on and wonders what all tills child’s play means. Do the business men
really believe they can solve our problems with toys, speeches and fancy far-
ming? We hope not. To those not familiar with our problems, statement*
in this article may sound hysterical, but the foundation of our homes, the
welfare of our families *ud the education of our children are involved in this
problem and we have a right to "scream out” against our lives being played
with in such a haphazard manner. Then the problem is ours. It is our property
Slid our destiny you are dealing with and why should we not have a voice in
its solution?
Il would seem a hopeless task to harmonize our views were it not for the
fact that good intentions are behind the actions of ail of us and it is only mis-
understanding and lack of information that keep us apart. We invite discus-
sion and welcome organized effort to help us. It will require the combined
effort of all forces to so ve such a gigantic problem and no doubt the same
amount of study will land all at the same conclusion. The difference ' is
largely one of theory and practice. The farmer has learned I
experience. We have learned them as a child learns that tire
Should we be expected to discard them for fads and fancies?
MARKET* WILL ENCOURAGE IMMIGRATION.
On behalf of the Farmers' Union, 1 want to say that our organization I
stands for ah there is in farming from the most scientific methods of seed I
selection to the most systematic and profitable plans of marketing. We con- i
sider the work of the farm demonstrators valuable and we ask that govern-
mental and commercial agencies seeking to assist us to extend their influence
into the marketing side-of our farm problems. We realize that there are
100,000,000 acres of uncultivated land in .Texas and that its development
i must necessarily mean an increase in production. We want more farmers, I
more manufacturers, more merchants, and all other industries, "but can we '
hope to develop manufacturing by over production of the factory: can we I
build up mercantile enterprises by the merchants loading their shelves with j
surplus goods, and can we develop agriculture by glutting the marekt? Farm-
ing is a business proposition and why not apply business principles to its
problems? We are as badly in need of more factories in Texas as we are of - commercial t_
inore farms. The factory makes a market for farm products and factory em- I ni»n« wnekahi*
i ployees are heavy consumers of the products of the farm. 1 1 a«Die.
DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
The - Farmers’ Union is alive to the impotence of diversification and has
always encouraged it. Farm conditions can be helped by a better balancing of
crops. No farmer shou.d, as a rule, buy a dollar’s worth of feed or supplies
during the year, but the Lord made Texas a cotton country an during dur life-
time at least it will be the money crop of Texas. For the information of
those who may feel that diversification is a solution of our problems, 1 quote
below statistics taken from the report of the Federal Department of Agricul-
ture on the three staple crops In Texas for the past three years. The table
shows the farm value of production per acre:
Year— Cotton.
