Mr.. J. c. Lewis, the well known cotton
dealer in New Orleans, talking the other
day about the different features Of the
crop this year, said some things which
will be interesting to North Carolina
farmers Among them was this: There
is only one trouble-the farmers may
rush their cotton into the market all at
one great squirt and that would choke it
so the price would remain low. If the
farmers would only study economy in
the matter of marketing their crop they
would often be able 10 better control the
price. If they would only market part
of it from time to time along through
the winter months if they would devote
nine months TO marketing, instead of
four, they would get better prices for
their cotton. I believe they will be able
to do this now, for they nave made good
grain crops and can live without the
hasty sale of their cotton. If they will
practice this caution and not food the
market with cotton during October and
November the price Is going TO be much
higher than it has been for two or three
