of cotton is a thing that puzzles a
good portion of the people of this
country; in fact nearly everybody in
the South. Any poor fellow could be-
come a capitalist within a year, if he
only knew what cotton would sell at
six or nine months hence. But we
are all in the same boat. The farm
er does not know, and he hestitates
whether to sell or to hold; the manu-
facturer does not know, and hesitates
about filling his warehouses or buy
ing only as he needs the cotton. The
speculator does not know, and is puz-
zled as to whether to buy or sell cot
ton for future delivery. If some
only knew, would they not feather
their nests? Under the uncertainty,
the speculator is likely to buy some
and sell some futures, the manu-
facturers are likely to fill some ware
houses and leave some empty. The
farmers had better act on the same
cautious plan; sell some at the pres
ent prices, and hold some to see how
the scale is going to turn"

IMPORTED COTTON SEED.
A Texas Idea to Head Off the Boil
Weevel.

New Orleans, Oct. 8.-The' com
mittee having charge of the boil
weevil convention to be held in Dal-
las, Tex, has changed the date for
the convention to November so as
to assure the presence of delegates
from all parts of the country.
At the suggestion Of the commit
tee having charge of the convention
Texas roads have agreed to haul cot
ton seed for planting to Texas from
any of the non-infected States for
less than half the usual rate. The
idea prevails that if the seed is
brought from other States, particu-
larly from the more northerly cotton
States, there is less likelihood of the
staple being attacked by the weevil.
AS a consequence most farmers in
the infected region propose to plant
seed brought all the way from North
Carolina, the cotton State furthest
removed from Texas. The North
Carolina cotton natures early and
it is thought that in this way it will
be possible to head off the ravages of
the weevil.

Charlotte Cotton Talk.

Comparatively little county cotton
is now being sold, only 384 bales be-
ing marketed last week. The re-
ceipts for the first week in October
of last year were II, ,1O3 bales.
The prominent farmers of the
county say that owing to the scarcity
of labor and the high wages paid for
what is obtained, the cost of raising
cotton has increased from 1 to 3
cents per pound during the past two
or three years. A few years ago nine
cents per pound was a large price for
the staple, but the conditions have
changed and there is no more profit
in raising it at that price now than
there was at the smaller prices three
years ago.
Cotton Inspector Robert Simpson
says that the grade of the cotton re-
ceived this year is the best he has
ever seen. The staple has been open
ing rapidly and the farmers have
been getting it picked as rapidly.
There has been no rain to stain it,
and all the cotton sold for the past
weeks has been strict good middling.
AS erratic as the cotton market is
known to be, there has been nothing
more phenomenal in it's history than
the rapidity of the recent decline
from IA to 9 cents. The Observer has
recently heard one cotton man pre-
dict, and another agree with him,
that, after a while, there will be an
advance equally as violent. But that
is another story. Nobody ever knows
what cotton is going to do.-Char-
Iotte Observer.

AS the cotton crop is being gath
cred it develops that the crop is
shorter than at first supposed in this
county. The average will not be over
two-thirds of a crop.
Several of the farmers in this
county went into the tobacco business
this year as an experiment. A man
was employed to direct the cultiva-
tion, the farmers not being familiar
with its culture, as none was ever
raised in the county before. The
crop was very fine. It looks like our
lands are we'll adapted to it's growth.
But the price has been so low and the
returns so small compared with the
expense that it is safe to say it will
be many days before any more tobac-
co is grown in Richmond County

Cotton Crop is Ten Million Bales.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 9.-Ten
million, two hundred and seventy-one
bales is the estimate Of the present
cotton crop, made by the Association
of Southern Commissioners of Agri-
culture which adjourned here to-day.
The association passed a resolu-
tion looking to the prevention of the
importation of the boil weevil from
Texas. It is urged that no cotton
material be brought from Texas so
long as the weevil is known to be in
the State.

AGRICULTURE
FARMERS, HOLD YOUR COTTON.

This is the Advice of President Harvie
Jordan, of the Cotton Growers Pro-
tective Association, and of Secretary
Parker, of the Farmers State ALI
Iance-Meeting Called.
On his return from Edgecombe
County last week, Secretary T. B.
Parker. of the North Carolina Farm
prs' State Alliance. sent out cir
crIar letter to secretaries of County
Alliances. from which we make the
following extract:
Il found there in Edgecombe] as
we'll as elsewhere in the State short
cotton crop as compared with last
years crop. also a disposition to hold
cotton after it went below ten cents
pound With unity of action / be-
lieve the farmers can get ten cents
for their cotton if they will hold for
that price. | have written Mr.. Har-
vie Jordan, of Georgia, President of
the Cotton Growers Association, in
regard to the matter and have sug-
gested that he at once communicate
with the cotton farmers of the South
and urge them to hold their cotton
for ten cents. As soon as / hear from
him | will publish his conclusions so
that our farmers may act in concert
with the farmers of all the cotton
growing States. In the meantime
l urge every farmer, whether he be-
longs to the Alliance or not, to stand
with us for minimum price of ten
cents per pound.
| also advise against selling to-
0acco at present low prices. Let all,
who possibly can, hold their tobacco
until there is a market for it at
paying prices. There is nothing to
lose by holding (for it is now selling
1or less than cost of production, },
but, In my opinion, much is to be
gained. Plan to materially curtail
the crop for next year. In the place
Of tobacco arrange to plant crops
That can be consumed on the farm.
II Will be better to let the land rest
man to spend a year cultivating a
crop that will not pay cost of produc-
ton"
Mr.. Parker has since received a
reply from President Jordan, which
We give in full herewith:
PRESIDENT JoRDAN's ADVICE.
Monticello, Ca, Oct. 5, 1903.
Mr., I. B. Parker, Secretary North
Carolina Farmers State Alliance,
Raleigh, n. G.
My Dear Sir:-I am just in re-
celpt Of your favor of the 2nd inst,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-10-13

and you voice my views exactly. For
the past month I have begun an
active campaign throughout the
South advocating higher prices for
our great staple crop, placing the
minimum price at which it should be
sold at ten cents a pound. / would
be pleased to have your active CO.
operation in this matter. Cotton is
much too low at the present time,
and the depression is largely due to
the rush of the raw material on the
markets by the producers. The crop
will be a short one. There will not
be enough cotton made to last the
mills for another twelve months, and
those who hold and market slowly
will get the cream of better prices
later on. Let us all work for at least
tent a pound.
with best wishes, beg to remain,
"Yours truly,
"HARVIE JORDAN,
''Pres. Southern Cotton Growers
Protective Association"
Just III this CONNECTION we think
it quite worth while to re print a
very iudicious and thoughtful edito-
rial in last weeks Newton Enter
prise. Says Editor Williams:
AS A NEWSPAPER MAN SEES IT.
"The sudden drop a few weeks ago
of a cent and a half on cotton was
a great surprise to Southern farm
ers. 1t was also a disappointment.
The only exclamation that anybody
makes of it is, that the farmers are
marketing it so fast that the guam
tity offered is beating down the
price. All the reports from the cot
ton States agree that there cannot
be any larger crop harvested than
the last one, which was 1O,75O,OOO.
1t is more likely to fall under these
figures, because it is three weeks late
and no top crop can be expected.
Besides, there has been deterioration
in the condition from various causes.
There will be more cotton needed
by the mills next year than this, be-
cause their supplies have been ex-
hausted and the demand for cotton
goods is growing greater every year.
The prices now ruling, 9A to 912
cents, are likely to last only through
the fall months while there is rush
by the farmers to sell their cotton
and pay their summer-made store
bills. A little later, when the pres
sure is over, and the sales begin to
drop off, there will be a scramble
among the mill men to lay in sup
plies. People who hold back some
cotton till next year are likely to
get better prices. Of course this is
only an opinion. The future price
