My I received
your communication of August S I
have given the subject to which
you refer considerable thought.
If we are to judge from the report
of the shortage in acreage the

ion are not exaggerated, it would
seem that tin

It been argued that

of idle barns in the fields of eastern
North Carolina next year will em-

of the State will no longer

Farmer are generally slow to
act, usually take a conservative
view of the conditions surrounding
them, and will continue longer at a
losing game and keep up better
cheer than any other class or pro-
of men in the world; but
like a herd of buffaloes frenzied
and crazed by heat, when they
stampede for some stream from
which to their thirst are
headstrong and determined, so it is
with the masses of farmers. They
continue from year to year to plant
tobacco, hoping that each year will
bring prices, and they have
gradually seen prices go lower and
lower until now they are on a verge
of a headstrong stampede for the
first relief that is offered; and here
in eastern North Carolina, where
our lands are generally in a high
state of cultivation, that relief is
offered in the cotton crop.
Cotton is selling at better
than it has brought in ten
years.

even when the supply is leas

a great deal toward controlling

is gelling at approximately ac-
curate estimate of the supply.
When known, in my opinion
this chief controlling will
begin lo assert itself. There are
other very powerful agencies which
operate the price of to-
. chief among which is the
lack harmony
concerted action on the part of the
farmers themselves in planting

Notwithstanding there is a
of opinion that
the crop in three principal
bright tobacco is re-
in acreage and condition
something near forty per cent, yet
if farmers begin marketing their
tobacco so as to sell ail of it in two
or three months, it is sore to fol-
low that there will be glutted mar
blocked sales, broken down
buyers and con-
low prices. These
ed sales, as I may call them, give
the impression also that the crop
has underestimated.
those governed by the sup
ply their orders on the sever-
markets, and judge the
crop by their receipts as compared
with a similar period last year.
Hence when the crop is thrown
upon the market in a time,
say two or three months, the re-
for this time may be as heavy
in a crop of forty million pounds
as if it were a seventy
pound crop.
In reference to the organization
of the tobacco the bright
tobacco growing States, I should
say by all means let the work be
pushed continuously vigorous
from the counties that produce
the smallest quantity of tobacco to
those which produce millions.
Let the work of the organization
education lie carried until
every man, from the poorest plow-
man with his one acre patch to
mightiest landlord with his vast
estates are their names
enrolled as joint
partners in the same cause.
There be no possible
by any one to an organized
fort on the part of the great
co producers for the betterment of
their condition. Organization
will bring the farmers together;
thus the work of education
by interchange of
ideas and views. Education is
nothing but the ex-
of the natural talent or
sense, and if coming together
exchanging ideas opinions

generous construction of our
and our duty one to the
the effort will not have been
vain. By complete and thorough
such can be affected.
If the farmers, or a few of them in
each community, will take act-
interest it a better under-
standing of the situation can lie
had. One half the misery of the
all the disagreement
man and bis fellow
is the result of not properly under-
standing the position each
pies. The relation of the producer
to the manufacturer is mighty
closely allied, and yet how far
apart are they the conception of
duty each to the other.
By organization he who sweats
and toils to make it possible for
the manufacturer to make wealth
and comfort from his scanty sup-
port and will get closer
their relation to each other,
and when we understand the
motives which prompt each other's
action, the responsibility can be
located and from the vantage
ground thus gained our rights can
be enforced and our wrongs made
right.
If the manufacturer converts
your raw material into greater
profits you have realized, it is
simply because he is better organ-
has advantage and uses
it. If special laws are passed that
protect his interests, it is the result
combination of if-
fort.
If your crop of tobacco, that has

basis, Haying nothing about the
risk of and flood the
sleepless nights you have spent in
curing it, sells ten cents a pound
it does not sell for more because
you arc nut I, and do not

are -wasted in aimless effort to

knowledge how to start.
