goods is increasing. There are more pounds of
cotton consumed per capita among peo-
pie now than there we're twenty or thirty years
ago, and the consumption increases annually. It
will be so all over the world. As the people ad-
vance in enlightenment the consumption of cot
ton will increase; therefore with prudence, we
need not look for any great surplus in our cotton
crop for some time to come. And with the ware
house system a surplus could be carried in all
probability until a partial failure in the crop
would create demand for it.
THE ST LOUIS MEETING
There will be Southern Cotton Farmers Con-
tion held at St. Louis September 26th at which
farmers and others interested in maintaining good
prices for cotton will discuss this and other plans
for that purpose. In letter just received from
Mr.. Harvie Jordan, President of the Cotton Grow
ers Protective Association, he states that the at
tendance at that Convention will be large. Texas
alone is expected to be represented by 600 dele
gates, Georgia with 2OO North Carolina and Ala
bama 200 each, and large delegations from the
other cotton growing States. Much interest is
manifested, and it is thought by that the
present advance in cotton may be due in part to
the fact the cotton farmers are to meet at that
time to try to get better prices for the incoming
crop than that cotton-buying world has been prom
ising them.
1t will be well for the readers of The Progress
sive Farmer, and in fact, all cotton farmers, tc
keep in touch with this movement. It may mean
much for them. T. B. PARKER.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-09-06


The most feasible plan in my opinion, for this
that has yet been suggested is the bonded ware
house system. By this plan the promoters claim
(and not without show of justifcation) that the
prices of cotton can be more steadily maintained
by marketing the cotton crop only the trade
quires it, and withhold from the market any
plus that may accrue until short crop will cause
demand for it. This, it seems to me, would be
ideal condition. When we think of the crop in
1898 of 11270,OOO bales selling for 25,OOO,OO0,
and last year crop of about 100000 bales sell
ing for twice much, we readily understand
what mill stone around the cotton farmers
neck is surplus of million bales.
If we can eliminate that surplus or keep it off
the market the question that confronts and
concerns the cotton farmer will be Immediately
solved This is just the thing the promoters of the
warehouse system propose to do. They propose
to do it in this way: The who must have
money to meet his obligations can carry his cot
ton to one of these warehouses, have the cotton
weighed and graded and get a receipt for it upon
which he get money at the bank to meet his
obligations without throwing the cotton the
market. Of course if prices all right and to
his liking, he need not take his cotton to the
warehouse at ALL but sell it on the open market.
And also if he is in position to hold the cotton
himself, he need not take it to one of these
bonded warehouses, but store it on his own prem
ises, if he so desires.
By this system it is claimed the speculator will
be largely eliminated and the clears" who have
been pulling the prices of cotton down, will have
to seek cooler climes for their operations
OUTLOOK FOR CONTINUED GOOD PRICES.
AS a matter of course if the better prices that
cotton would bring under this system of selling
were to run people cotton crazy, and they
were to persist in making cotton than the
trade could consume, there would of necessity be
drop in prices That would be inevitable, but
it would not be the spasmodic fluctuations that
we now see but gradual decline until reaction
was brought about.
However, that is hardly probable for some time
to come at least. In our new possessions the
Philippine Islands, we have acquired several mil
lions of inhabitants, the most of whom, according
to the pictures have seen show the need of
new suit of clothes without much delay. And as
our soldiers who have been there for the last few
years civilizing them wore uniforms from cotton
CLOTH it is but natural that the citizens Of those
islands will also adopt cotton cloth for their
clothing. Those islands alone should develop a
great market for Southern cotton. And civil
zation advances there and elsewhere, the market
for cotton goods will increase, in all probability,
to the capacity of our production. Even here
where the cotton is grown, the demand for cotton

Editors Progressive Farmer:

The cotton crop and the marketing of the
are interesting topics alike to the farmer, the
manufacturer, and the speculator.
1t is very evident that for the last several
months there has been determined and concerted
effort to ''bear" the cotton market. All signs
point to that as plainly as the finger board on
mile post does to the destination of the road.
The cotton mill men of the South, generally,
have been the natural enemies of high prices for
cotton-and not, under former conditions. with
out some degree of justification. Their capacity
to manufacture was limited and their products
have not been established in many of the worlds
best markets For them to have stocked their
warehouses with high-priced cotton and see the
surplus go to their Northern and foreign compet-
itors at a reduced price, would have been court
ing disaster and ruin. The situation to them, es-
pecially for the past year, has been exceedingly
perplexing Their capital was invested in machin-
cry supplies, ETC., and to lie idle meant loss. On
the other hand, to buy exceptionally high-priced
cotton, not being able to even guess at the size
and price of next years cotton crop, might mean
still greater loss. So indeed they were in an un-
envable position, and the only thing In sight for
them was to fight down high prices, which they
have done as faithfully as any could have
wished for.
MANUFACTURER NEEDS, NOT Low PRICES, BUT
STEADY PRICES.
But the conditions which first faced the farm
ers, few years ago, and LATER the manufacturers.
have put all hands to thinking and from their re-
search will evolve plan method by which both
producers and consumers will be benefited.
The cotton manufacturer does not need low
priced cotton but he does need steady priced cot
ton With steady prices he has something to base
caluculaton on and knows just what he is doing.
With steady prices the buyers of his products will
know what to do and will keep on hand stock
sufficiently large to meet his demands. And the
farmer too is much better off with steady price,
carrying with it fair profit, than to have the ex-
tremes in prices that he has experienced within
the last few years.
But these years of experience with the barom-
eter in price marking very high and then very
low, have been productive of a not unmixed evil.
Thinking business men have been studying the sit
uation and think they can in the cotton crop
of the South even greater possibilities than most
of us have dreamed of. But to bring out these
