SUGGESTION 10 COTTON
PEANTERS
Ghicarn. Ill Aur "a

Chicago H., Aug. "a. 1891.
To the Editor OF the Times Democrat:
was for many years a cotton planter, and
no man knows better than I do how much la
Dor it takes 70 plant cultivate and market Il
cotton crop. Chicago is my present home but
my syiupatnies and best wiz hes are and ever
will be, with the Son hern planter.
There is no question but what the plan sug-
gesy ed by Mr. Stoeber is both practical aud
feasible; if put into successful operation there
is no question but what it will result in q di
rect gain of many million dollars to the cotton
interests Of the South.
III lS75-76 the total cotton crop was only 4G32.-
3l3 bales; there was realized from this crop
$3.50, 900 900. The crop of 1Ss990 -ached 297 :
2S1 bales and only realized about 100000 900.
The lowest estimates put this years crop at 8,
600 bales. MiddlinS cotton Is worth to-day in
New York 1916 cents, This means that the
planter will realize from Ia to 1-2 cents for
the bulk OF his crop, which is less than $50 for
a $50 pound bale. ON this basis this big $1,000.
900 bale crop will only bring $40 100000 or $l6n
0O0,OoO less than the crop III 1856. The actual
consumption of cotton now reaches between
II 100000 and 100000 bales annually. IT the
Southern States will only furnish 100000 bales
this year instead of 100000 it will result in
the producer realizing 10 cents per pound. or
$50 per bale, or over sl0O,000.0o0 in excess Of
what is likely to be realized if the total crop
be placed ON the market. 1t is generally con
coded by the best posted operators on the cot
ton exchanges of the country that if the pres
cnt monster crop be marketed as freely this
season as III the past present PRICES of cotton
will decline at least one cent por pound during
the next sixty days. Does not this condition
of affairs show that the time has arrived for ac-
ton
MI. Editor, desperate cases require heroic
remedies. ii you won q save your people from
bankruptcy and ruin stir them on this subject,
get them cnthused: have the interior papers
publish and asitate the plan proposed. know
that over 90 per cent of tho crop Is under mort
gage, but that should mot act as a drawback.
The merchants and landlords will be most viii.
ling TO cooperate
Il the farmers of earfi county will assHnl,le
in lnasS meeting and form trust companies Us
proposed, and store with said compaLies one
n1th or even one-siXth, OF this years crop to
hold twelve months, then to be returned to
original owners: then If the cotton acreage be
reduced oneelghth next season tie danger
will have been averted and prosperity and hap
piress will rule over the South Instead Of ruin
and disaster.
Hoping that you will give this matter the
publicity 1t deserves, and that it will be COME
by your exchanges until those most vitalIy in
terested take such steps as will result in the
success OF the plan, an, yours, truly.
