Nation Rings With Cries of
Stricken Industry.

Kinfj Cotton has suifercd more
from the European war than any
other agricultural product on the
American continent. The shells
of the belligerents have bursted
over his throne, frightening his
subjects and shattering his mark-
ets, and, panic-stricken, the na-
tion crics out "God save the
King."
People from every walk of life
have contributed their mite to-
ward rescue work. Society has
danced before the king; milady
has decreed that the family ward-
robe jihall contain only cotton
goods; the press has plead with
the public to "buy a bale"; bank-
ers have been formulating hold-
ing plans; congress and legisla-
tive bodies have deliberated over
relief measures; statesmen and
writers have grown eloquent cx-
pounding the inalienable rights
"f "His Majesty" and presenting
schemes for preserving the finan-
cial integrity of the stricken
staple, but the sword of Europe
has proved mightier thai} the pe i
of America in fixing value upon
this product of the sunny south.
Prices have been bayoneted, val-
ues riddled and markets decimat-
ed by the battling hosts of the
eastern hemisphere until the
American farmer has suffered a
war loss of $4vC,'N00,000, and a
hale of cotton brave enough to
«ntcr an Kuropean port tnnst pav
a ransom of half its value or go
to prison until the war is over.
Mope of the Future Lies in Co-
operation.
The Farmers' Union, through
the columns of the press, wants
to thank the American people for
the friendship, sympathy and as-
sistance given the cotton farm-
ers in the hour of distress and to
direct attention to co-operative
methods necessary to permanent-
ly assist the marketing of all
farm products.
1 he present emergency pre-
sents as grave a situation as ever
confronted the American f.wtner
and from the viewpoint of the
producer, would seem to justify
extraordinary relief measures,
even to the point of bending the
constitution and straining busi-
ness rules in order to lift a por-
tion of the burden off the backs
of the farmer, for unless some-
thing is done to check the inva-
sion of the war forces upon the
cotton fields, the pathway of the
F.uropcan pestilence on this con*
tinent will be strewn with mort-
gaged homes and famine and
poverty will stalk over the soutli-
hnd, filling the highways of in-
dustry with refugees and the
bankruptcy court with prisoners.
All calamities teach us lessons
and the present orisis serves to
illuminate the frailties of our
marketing methods and the weak-
ness of our credit system, and
out of the financial anguish and
travail of the cotton farmer will
come a volume of discussion and
a mass of suggestions and finally
a solution of this, the biggest
problem in the economic life of
America, if, indeed, we have not
already laid the foundation for at
least temporary relief.
More Pharoahs Needed in
Agriculture.
Farm products have no credit
and perhaps can never have on a
permanent and satisfactory basis
unless we build warehouses, cold
; storage plants, elevators, etc., foi
1 without storage and credit facili-
1 tics, the sou'.h is compelled to
dump its crop on the market at
harvest time. The Farmers'
Unions in the cotton producing
states have for the past ten years
pe^'stently advocated ihe con-
stiuction of storage facilities. We
ha •• built during this period
2j ' w houses with a capacity
of • imately i,;>00,400 bales
'4 backward the results
vould seem cncouragii« |^—
ooking forward, we are t
louse less than one-third I
rop and warehouses wif^H
rredit system lose 90 per ct
heir u«efulness. The proble
i gigantic one—too great for
arnier to solve unaided. Me m
lave the assistance of the banW#$jf
?r, the merchant and the govern-^
nent. = -
/
/ - -1
In production we have reache
:he high water mark of perfection!
n the world's history, but our
marketing methods arc most
primitive. In the dawn of his-
tory we find agriculture plowing
with a forked stick but with a
system of warehouses under gov-j
srnmental supervision that madof
the Egyptians the marvel of civ-,
ilization, for who has not ad-'
mired the vision of Joseph and
ipplauded the wisdom of Pharoaltf
for storing the surplus until de-'
manded by the consumer, but iri
this age we have too many Jo-*1
^ephs who dream and not enough'
Pharoahs who buiHl.

The committee of railroad e*j
ecutives, headed by Mr. Frank
Trumbull, representing thirty-
five of the leading railroad sysJ
tcms of the nation, recently pre-
sented to President Wilson a|
memorandum briefly reviewing
the difficulties now confronting
the railroads of Ihe country and
asking for the co-operation of the
governmental authorities and tho
pt'Mic in supporting railroad
credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which require that th&
railroads be given additional rev-^
e nues. Cl
The memorandum rccites that
the European war has resulted irV
general depression of business on
the American continent and in
the dislocation of credits at home
and abroad. With revenues deJ
creasing and interest rates irt^
creasing the transportation sys^
tems of the country face a most
serious crisis and the memoran-
dum is a strong presentation of
the candle burning at both ends
and the perils that must ultimate-
ly attend such a conflagration
when the flames meet is .apparent
t all. In their generij^Jisjit'
the railroad represent Fumw
in part: "By reason" 1
tion and regulation b

President Wilsoi
ting the tnemorandurii
road presidents to the
characterizes it as "a lucid" ~ "la-
ment of plain truth." Theev-
ident recognizing the emergen^
is extraordinary, continuing, said
iu part:
"You ask me to call the atten-i
tion of the country to the imper-
ative need that railway credits
be sustained and the railroads
helped in every possible way,
whether by private co-operative
effort or by the action, where\er
feasible of governmental agencies
and I am glad to do so because I
think the need very real."
The conference was certain j ~ ;
fortunate one for the nati>y.^
the President is to be congratii-""* *"
lated for opening the gate to a
new world of effort in which
everyone may co-operate.
There are many important'
problems in our complex civili-
zation that will yield to co-opera-i
tion which will not lend thenn
selves to ai<l>itrary rulings of,
commissions and financing rail-*
roads is one of them. The mailt
with the money is a factor that
cannot be eliminated from any
business transaction, and the
public is an interested party that
j should always be consulted and*
1 happily the President has invited
all to participate in the solution
of our railroad problems.
