Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farmer's Political Economy: "The Dead Horse in Our Spring Branch"; Farmer Dan Luke's Exposure of Cotton Marketing It is the purpose of this book to awaken our people to the needs of a better system of market ing America's greatest crop - cotton - and to urge our government to the necessity of action in giving the needed relief. The results to our farmers as a class is clearly and accurately stated herein. We are making no personal attack on the cotton ex change, but are advocating good and wholesome legislation of a constructive character. Our prem ises are well taken and conclusions are beyond question. The necessity of this book is apparent. The cotton farmer is not represented when it comes to fixing the price his cotton sells for, and after sweating under the present system of fixing the price for thirty years, his nose is still to the grindstone. It is no experiment with him. He has the butt-end of the log to tote and is not rep resented ou the cotton exchange. Dan Luke prays the blessings of the Lord will attend his efforts and asks the prayers of all good Christians.
