BY W. C. PAGE.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle-
men:
We have doubtless all boasted to
each other regarding our great
country, our own beautiful God-
given America, and have said we
could place a wall of masonry clear
around our border a mile high, and
cut out the entire outer world and
live and flourish with no incon-
venience; but yet, one morning just
a month or two ago, when our
commerce awoke from a night's re-
freshing sleep, so to speak, after an
era of unprecedented prosperity, she
was startled at the sound of artil-
lery lire and the groans of dying
men as they were wafted, so to
speak, by the gentle breezes across
the deep blue waters of the Atlan-
tic, and the great American people
were thrown into commercial con-
vulsions at the news of the Euro-
pean war, and at this very moment
every individual in America is ef-
fected, in a business way, even
down to us who are seated in this
building at this time; therefore we
have proof that the world's com-
mercial interests have been brought
into such close proximity, we must
needs adjust ourselves in each
community so as to be more self-
sustaining in times of these great
calamities, and there is no better
plan than to buitá up a strong
- flumer^ñattotc nyateta. —--
As I understand the proposition,
the object of a Farmers' Institute
should be to encourage and pro-
mote the up-building of all farming
and live-stock pursuits, the up-lift
of domestic and social conditions in
the rural districts, and the better-
ment of all conditions looking to
the happiness of the general citizen-
ship of the community it representa
The subject matter for a Farmers'
Institute is absolutely unlimited,
inexhaustible In other words, and
every member of this institute
should be a live wire, and, gentle-
men, with such a membership I do
not hesitate to make the statement
tUt five years' existence of such an
organization would turn this coun-
try into a beautiful flower garden
compared to our present conditions.
What we need, first, is tetter soil,
bettér dwelling houses, better barns,
better gardens, better live-stock,
better roads, and last, but not least,
a determination to allow our child-
ren a better average school attend*
ance, and all of these should be
looked after by the Farmer's In-
stitute.
Let us give our children every
day we can to attend school, be-
cause an education is a better as-
set to leave to them than dollars
and cents without the education,
and let me tell you that a farmer
needs an education as bad as any
otter living man, and his wife
needs an education as much as any
other living woman of whatever
standing. Educate your children
for God's sake, for their sakes and
for society's sake.
There is no doubt in my mind,
my fellow countrymen, but that
of Houston county
1 good natural brains as any
the world, and as good
you as ever beat within
' a human being, but
and the time
r children are
of
sary to call your attention to the
enormous value to the world of the
cause you espouse.
The world's physical condition, so
far as human beings have to do
with things, is absolutely dependent
upon the producing class, and the
most important creatures among
the producing class are necessarily
those whose labor brings forth the
foodstuffs for man and beast.
Perhaps some of you have never
dwelled upon the thought that be-
fore any great feat can be performed,
something must be planted, culti-
vated, harvested and put in a con-
dition to be used as food for animal
life.
Man is but an engine-run ma-
chine, so to speak, where the differ-
ent parts must work in accord be-
fore he can think and act, and in
order to furnish him fuel to cause
this human engine to pulsate with
proper working energy he must
first have food for his body; there-
fore, when we look upon a master-
piece of work accomplished by man,
we must not forget the fact that
the farmer furnishes the power,
through his foodstuffs, before the
work can start.
The aim of your institute should
be to make better farmers and
more farmers. Our cities and
towns are simply teeming with
millions of people, living from hand
to mouth, and having for their
living-quarters little, old, damp,
foul-smelling apartments, whose
foul air is filled with disease germs
until they are veritable human
death traps, and these same people
could come to Houston county, or
some other good farming country,
and establish nice little homes
where they are free people and are
.privileged to breathe the pure, ex-
hilarating air which the great God
causes to circulate in his beautiful
world for their use.
And now, coming back to our
real subject, the farmers' institute
work, I would suggest as your mot-
to these words: "Less cotton and
credit, and more grub and cash."
These words sound like business,
and every farmer in the country
should stretch this banner across
his front yard and study it every
morning before going to his work.
And such a rule lived up to proper-
ly would make us an independent
community before many years.
Egypt la Suae Boat With Cotton States.
Washington, Oct. 14.—Egypt, as
well as the United States, is facing
a serious crisis because of inability
to market her cotton crop. Paul
Knabenschue, United States vice
consul general at Cairo, in a report
to the state department, says Egyp-
tian banks have been unable to ob-
tain specie to finance the crop
movement and the government has
made notes of the National Bank of
Egypt legal tender, with the same
value as gold.
To ease the cotton situation it
has been decided that the national
banks advance money to cotton
growers on all cotton offered, stor-
ing the lint as security, thus pro-
tecting small cultivators from forced
sales at sacrifice prices. Large cul-
tivators are expected to hold their
product themselves.
To prevent a surplus next year
the ministry of agriculture already
has formulated plans for reducing
the area to be planted by about 60
percent. Cultivators will be in-
structed to grow corn, rice, beans
and other grain and food crops in-
stead of cotton.
