Cotton jidda the T
a million dollars per dag.
Cotton is the principal farm prod-
uct of Texas, although every crop
known to agriculture can be raised
in this state.
A cotton crop failure is unknown
in Texas and a small yield per
sere is always offset by an increase
in price per pound.
Cotton occupies 45 per cent of
our cultivated area.

screage of Texas has increased 8i

An acre of Texaa cotton, in 1912,
was worth 9t7,19, including the
value of the seed.
Texas cotton, in 1918, yielded
106 pounds of lint to the acre and!
had a value of 11 1-8 cents pati

Fort Worth, Tex.—We make
no pretense of knowing how to
play politics, but we know how
to plow, and applying horse-sense
to the present situation, we think
the fanners of Texas need cheap
money far more than they need
self-appointed political saviors; a
system of rural credits much
more than government spies pry-
ing into our affairs, and a better
marketing system is needed much
more than political inquisitions.
Taken singly, the politicians have
been able to master the farmers
and all other lines of Industry,
but united, we can put the death-
rattle in the throat of the dema-
gogues. We do not think that
state government should use its
power in drawing a dark curtain
of suspicion between the farmers
and the business men; we believe
co-operation a better policy.
Shooting up business never made
a small city great nor a rich state
richer, and no citizen should be
compelled to apologize for tlie
conduct of any state official. It
is well for all good citizens to
pause and inquire if we arc not
approaching political anarchy.
Has Russia much the best of
us on political persecutions, in-
quisitions and dictators?
We want to call the attention
of the public to the position taken
by the Farmers' Union at the be-
ginning of this campaign in ask-
ing that the liquor question be
eliminated from consideraton,
and we point to the present in-
flamed state of public mind as
evidence of the wisdom of our
course.
We thought that inasmuch as
less than one per cent of our
population suffered from the evil
influences of liquor, the ninety
and nine were entitled to consid-
eration in this campaign; that as
three-fourths of our territory was
already dry, and the remaining
«ov% which an worth $4$y*
1010 to 1914, the value of
jtha Tkkm steer has increased $11 JO.
Fifteen per cent of the beef cat-
tle of the United States are in
Tana. We have mora than twice
aa many aa any other state.
Texas ranks fifth in number of
milch eow« and first in quality
of milk, cream and butter produced.
The Texaa milch cow on January
1st, 1814, was valued at $45.60 by
Uncle Baa, while five yean ago
■he waa worth only $89.50.
Then are 17,500 cowboys on the
cattle ranches in Texas.
Our packing houses slaughter 8,-
000,000 head of meat animals an-
nually.
More calves are received at the
Fort Worth market than at any
other market in the world.
The largest cattle feeding plant
in the world is near Stamford,
Texas, in Jones county.
There are 14 packing housss ia
Texas is the leading meat pro*
ducing state in the Union. We pro-
duce $140,000,000 worth of
stock and products annually.
so, that one state administration
of rest from an Issue which con-
stitutes less than tive per cent
of tlie 11.'- of the state nd !>a
received 95 per cent of public at-
tention for the past twenty years,
would be fair and just. We have
never discussed the merits of the
controversy, and on that phase
of the subject we have nothing
to say.
The Penalty of Strife.
We do not believe the insane
should remain in jail, a half mil-
lion mothers rock their babes in
poverty, and a quarter of a mil-
lion tenant farmers flee like birds
before a storm, while the politi-
cians are fighting themselves into
silence over the prohibition ques-
tion, and we have no apology to
offer for our position. We leave
it for the sovereign citizen of this
state to determine at the polls
July 25th whether we will elimi-
nate this question from consider-
ation of the next legislature.
We believe that no citizen who
places patriotism above partisan-
ship can look upon the present
situation with satisfaction or hon-
estly regard its continuation
profitable to the welfare of Texas.
It is a fact as old as govern-
ment that good laws were never
made by mad men, and legisla-
tion was never wisely administer-
ed in a spirit of partisan strife.
This campaign lias maddened
•men "and prostituted reason; it
has sent preaclicrs from the pul-
pit to the rostrum bellowing with
rage and has hurled a department
of state tr.to the frry of partisan
strife. Is it not time tj cr.H a
halt?
It makes political hyprocrites
'of many statesmen, and insincere
citizens of many men; it makes
,weak leadership possible; it fouls
tthe air with fanaticism and in
'such an atmosphere the reptiles
of dissension and superstition
thrive end demagoguery raises
its hydra-head and hisses.
„ Some of the prohibition or*&t*
have memorised a
words which they
to the Union in aa e. ' .1 to
cute the farmers of Texas. Wei
want to say to these peanut poli-
ticians—beware the farmers of
Texas will not be mocked. The
lightning flashes of discontent
light the western horizon, the dis-
tant thunder of retribution rolls,
and the storm-tossed clouds
seethe and boil with vengeance
of the men who bow their back*
carrying the burdens of civilixa-
tion, and the wrath of a half mil-
lion farmers will sweep from
public counsel those responsible
tor such conduct
Our Legislative Opportunities.
We have had some things to
say to the pulpit politicians. We
join in the oft-repeated sugges-
tion that a preacher has as much
right in political brawls as a sa-
loon keeper, and we also admit
that he has as much right to
tango as anyone else, but we
would rather he would not do so.
We think a political bishop can
turkey-trot in the name of Chris-
tianity as consistently as he can
enter into a mud-slinging politi-
cal contest to the disgrace of his
church. Our only concern has
been to keep the ministry on a
high plane where it merits the
rcspect of the laymen and the
confidence of the public.
We think the next legislature
can and should open the gate to
a new world. That it should chal-
lenge nature to disclose her min-
eral wealth; summon the soil to
produce more abundantly and
command the wheels of industry
to spin more rapidly. With such
a task before it we believed the
legislative mind should be freed
from prejudice and hate, and we
still think so.
We farm with a hoe and not
with a pen, but we wish we could
form golden sentences that call
forth the best there is in men.
In closing we want to again ap-
peal to the farmers for unity.
United We Stand-
United, there is a new rural
civilization rising in the eastern
horizon, lighting the lives and
cheering the hearts of a million
farmers, and its warm rays are
n\elting the shackles that enslave
the toiling masses. This great
orb of opportunity sparkles like
a new-born world as it lights
new-found pathways of prosper-
ity, and the buds of hope burst
into the joy of home ownership
and gladden human life with the
rich blooms of power and shed
luster upon the )ie*rts of the poor
as the skyline of industry ex-
pands, revealing a new hemis-
phere of human endeavor.
—Divided Wa Fall.
Divided, we face a world of
hopeless gloom and bondage sad-
dened with the dawn of each new
**ty as the scorching rays of strife
parch our lives and blister oppor-
tunity, or indifference, rising like
an impossible mountain, hems us
In pita of helplessness. Power
decays and fills the air with its
stench. Hope dries up, and the
atmosphere is filled with the
blinding ashes of failure. Tur-
moil, like a wreath of adders,
crawls around our efforts and
stings us into insensibility, while
the iron moan of unrest echoes
through the corridors of our
empty lives.
Will the farmers of Texas ral-
ly around the Union or will they
writhe in dissension while oppor-
tunity hisses like a serpent as it
slides into the dead sea of a lost
destiny? The count of the bal-
lots will tell.
