European War
(Continued from page four)
The Farmers' Union, through the
columns of the press, wants to thank
the American people for the friend
ship, sympathy snd assistance given
the cotton farmers In the hour of dis
tress and to direct attmtlon to co
operative methods necessary to per
manently asslHt the marketing of all
farm products.
The present emergency presents ts
grave a situation as ever confronted
the American farmer and from th
viewpoint of the producer, would neein
to Justify eitraordlnary relief mens
ur. even to the point of bending the
constitution aud straining buslu-Mi,
rules in order to lift a portion of the
burden off tho 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 out
the southland, filling the highways of
Industry with refugees snd the bank
ruptcy court with prisoners.
All calamities teach us lessons snd
the present crisis serves to Illuminate
the frailties of our marketing melh
ods and the weakness of our credit
system, snd out of the financial an
guish and travail of the cotton farmer
will come a volume of discussion ami
I a mass of sugKt-stlons snd fluslly 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.
