TO THE COTTON FARMERS AND
GINNERS OF NORTH CAROLINA

In accordance with resolution at the
recent meeting of the State Farmers AL
lance authorizing the appointment of a
committe to issue an address to the cot.
ton farmers, ginners, and others interest
ed in procuring better prices for cotton
seed, this committee met Tuesday in
the city of Raleigh and authorized the
following letter:
Hillsboro, N. c., Aug. 81, 1901.
To the Cotton Farmers and Ginners of
North Carolina:
Gentlemen: This letter is issued for
the purpose of awakening in you an
interest in and appreciation of the value
of the cotton seed crop this coming sea-
son.
AS is we'll known, the corn crop in the
corn growing States is short; in fact, it
is short in most sections of the United
States. We all know that short crop
means higher priced corn, which in turn
means higher priced hogs, cattle, etc.,
and for their products. AS these pro-
ducts advance in price, substitutes, such
as compound lard, oleomargarine, but
terine, ETC., largely take their places.
These substitutes contain cotton seed
oil, hence the demand for that will pro-
badly be greater than ever before, con-
sequently higher prices. The cattle
feeders Of the West will have to substi-
ute some other feed for corn, and as cot
ton seed meal has proven to be better
than corn for this purpose, it is but ma
tural that they will largely substitute
cotton seed meal for corn the coming
feeding season. In consequence of these
demands cotton seed meal and oil will
both bring higher prices than heretofore.
This being true cotton seed also should
bring higher prices than they have been
selling for.
Within the past few months a syn
dictate has been taking options on oil
mills, and now, it is reported, they own
more than SO per cent of the mills in
the South, or it's equivalent in output
The American Cotton Oil Company, it is
claimed, owns forty per cent, so there
are less than 10 per cent in output ac-
cording to this calculation, that are in.
dependent mills.
From recent occurrences it is probable
that these two oil companies controlling
over 80 per cent. of the cotton seed oil
products of the South, may combine or
have an understanding as to the prices
to be paid for cotton seed. The situation
is such that, in our opinion the farmers
should take some action to protect them
selves and have some voice in naming
the price their own products will sell
for. This can best be done by co-opera-
ton in selling, which can be accomplish
ed. The cotton seed crop of North Caro-.
lima will probably be at low estimate,
100000 bushels. OF this crop 100000
bushels will probably be sold. If by co..
operation of the farmers the price can
be advanced 10 cents on the bushel, it
will give to the cotton farmers of the
State 100000 more for the crop than
