Y Nation Rings With Cries «f Stricken Industry. Bf Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers* Union. King Cotton has suffered more from the European war than any other ag­ ricultural product on the American continent. The shells of the belliger­ ents have burated over his throng frightening his subjects and shatter­ ing his markets, and, panic-stricken, the nation cries oat *X3od stfVe the king!". People from eyery walk of life have contributed their mite toward rescue work. Society has danced before the king; milady has decreed that the family wardrobe shall contain only cotton goods; the presB has plead with the public to "buy a bale"; bankers have been formulating hold- ing plans; congress and legislative bodies have deliberated over relief measures; statesmen and writers have grown eloquent expounding the inalienable right^ of "His Majesty" and presenting schemes for preserv­ ing the financial integrity of the stricken staple, bat the sword of Eu­ rope has proved mightier than the pen of America, in fixing value upon this product of the sunny south. Prices have been bayoneted, values riddled and markets decimated by the battling hosts of the eastern hemisphere until the American farmer has suffered a war loss of $400,000,000, and a bale of cotton brave enough to enter a European port must pay a ransom of half its value or go to prison until the war is over. Hope of the Future Lies In Co-opera­ tion. The Farmers' Union, through the columns of the press, wants to thank the American people for the friend­ ship, sympathy and assistance given the cotton farmers in the hour of dis­ tress and to direct attention to co­ operative methods necessary to per­ manently assist the marketing of all farm products. The present emergency presents as grave a situation as ever confronted the American farmer and from the viewpoint of the producer, would seem to justify extraordinary relief meas­ ures, even to the point of bending the constitution and straining business rules in order to lift a portion of the burden off the backs of the farmer, for unless something Is done to check the Invasion of the war forces upon the cotton fields, the pathway of the European pestilence on this continent will be strewn with mortgaged homes and famine and poverty will stalk over the southland, filling the highways of industry with refugees and the bank­ ruptcy court with prisoners. All calamities teach us lessons and the present crisis serves to illuminate the frailties of our marketing meth­ ods and the weakness of our credit system, and out of the financial an­ guish 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 re­ lief. Mors Pharaohs Needed In Agriculture. Farm products have no credit and perhaps can never have on a perma­ nent and satisfactory basis nnless wo build warehouses, cold storage plants, elevators, etc., for without storage and credit facilities, the south is com­ pelled to dump its crop on the market at harvest time. The Farmers' Unions in the cotton producing states have for the past ten years persistently ad­ vocated the construction of storage facilities. We have built during this period 2,000 warehouses with a ca­ pacity of approximately 4,000,000 bales and looking backward the results would seem encouraging, but looking forward, we are able to house less than one-third of the crop and ware­ houses without a credit system lose 90 per cent of their usefulness. The problem is a gigantic one--too great for the farmer jto solve unaided. He must have the assistance of the bank­ er, the merchant and the government. In production we have reached the high water mark of perfection in the world's history, but our marketing methods are most primitive. In the dawn of history we find agriculture plowing with a forked stick but with a system of warehouses under govern­ mental supervision that made the Egyptians the marvel of civilization, for who has not admired the vision of Joseph and applauded the wisdom of Pharaoh for storing the surplus nnMi demanded by the consumer, but In this age we have too many Josephs who dream and not Pharaohs who build.

A young man passing discovered the chicken house, within f6ur feet^f the barn, on fire. He at once tried to extinguish it. Just at this time Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Allen were passing on their way to McHenry and saw it. They went to help and also telephoned to Ringwood for help, which came as quickly as possible. The three fought desperately. The barn took fire, but they succeeded in pushing the chicken house over and put out the barn before help arrived. The wind was so as to blow the Are away from the barn or it could never have been saved. The straw stack, where the cattle were, took fire fr<om the shingles flying. That could not be saved, but help kept it from the gran­ ary and corncrib. Mr. Freund's family were all at church. We are glad to say that his loss is only the chicken house and straw stack. .

It has gone into winter quarters. This is the first Monday Mr. Harrison has missed since early spring. Ernest Brott thought his old, honest team would not run, but he found out to the contrary one day last week, when he left them to help some neigh­ bors separate some colts. He walked or ran, whichever suited him, the rest of the way home. We have noticed that the old Ostend creamery is undergoing considerable making over. We wonder why is to occupy it. A new porch over the front door of the living rooms, new steps and platform at the side door and the place where they used to take in milk is all closed up. M?HENRY'S SOCIETY The Ror«J Entertainers The Royal Entertainers met at the home of Mrs, Andrew Miller on Broad street last Friday evening, where a couple of hours were most pleasantly spent at cards.
