Kar-iers of the count rv are nd- in in a report submitted to llie Farmers union by a special toiiiiiiillee to raise more stock; thai stock raisinir is the basis of fanning, and the farmer who raises stock need never call upon blinker money to keep him from starving. This report, by far one of the most important ever presented at convention of the union, was made by a committee composed of Messrs. Campbell and Russell, of Oklahoma J. K. Faulkeron.

of Missouri, and Maurice MeAiiliffc. of Kansas. The report states that an additional million milch cows and an equal number of brood sows in the South would add ten dollars to every bale of cotton and increase the value of other products. It says that there are not enough farmers engaged in raising stock to fight the beef trust. The farmers are advised to raise stock, maintain small packing plants in their back yards, and thereby protect their own pocket-books.

The farmer who has milk, butter, beef, bacon and vegetables is the only farmer who can be independent, so the report declares. The committee on finance reported that the union is in a better financial shape than it has ever been. The committee on membership reports that New York, Ohio. Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota and the new states are to enter the organiza-t ion. There are now 22 states represented and 3,000.000 members of the order, Your Last Chance.
