Cotton under. the present conditions has TO

| world seemed to be staggered by the fact
that cotton reached u cents a pound a
| few days ago. 1 tell you 1t has something

| of the United States does not inculcate
some different plans for the maintenance OF
| higher grade of cotton-seed there will be
| still higher prices reached year by year.
...of course the working of economic laws

farmers will be in better position to i'm

ANTICIPATES HIGHER COTTON.
Suppose, for example, that the farmer
who raises ten to fifteen bales of cotton OBJ
tains 10 or is cents pound for high cot
ton, he will not be compelled to sell the
best Of his seed, as he does at the present
time. He will be better off financially. and
therefore will protect his seed from the in
clemencies of the weather. The better off
he becomes as result Of the higher price
for cotton the more time he will have
to devote to the support of himself and
his family. Until such time arrives | look
for constantly increased areas of planted
cotton but with less va Insults

My trip justified my early expectations.

came back and made my report to my
friends. In October advised my friends to
buy cotton, saw that the best market in
the world in which to put my theory into
practice was here in New York. So came
to the pit.
PRICE WAS RIGHT.
"Soon after 1 commenced buying cotton on
small scale the attention of the world was
taken up with the campaign being engi-
neered by T. H. Price. saw he was correct
in his belief that higher prices would come,
but do not think he drew his deductions
from the same basis that did. My belief
was steadfast, notwithstanding the opposi-
I ton created when cotton sold at ten cents
a pound. 1 knew there was tremendous
sentimental opposition formed against me,
but what did it amount to in the end?
People sold cotton which they did not
have. They sold wind. in other worss. or
contracts of wind. Luckily for me 1 was
able to take it ALL and then when the time
to settle came they had to go into the mar
kets and buy the stuff at higher prices

THAT is untrue" he replied. What Is

belongs to me. We are one.
II think It is the first sign of mans
weakness in business when he does thing
like that. 1t shows he has a lack of con-
