SlIOIJ crop anu nigh OFFICES 1Or GOTH
means a short crop and high prices
for hogs; and with hogs high, lard
will be high, and high-priced lard
means high-priced cotton oil; then
why not high prices for cottonseed
paid to the farmers?
"The crop of 1inseed now being
harvested in the Northwest is only
about one-half to three-ffths the
crop harvested last year, and the re-
suit is, linseed is 40 per cent, the oil
about 80 per cent, linseed cake and
meal 30 to 40 per cent, higher.
But the United States is not the
only country with short crops. All
of the European countries, without
a single exception, have the poorest
crops of grain, feed and fodder
they have had for years. Russia, the
greatest grower and competitor of
the United States for the trade of
Europe for wheat, is fully employed
trying to whip it's very small, and as
she supposed, insignificant antago-
nist-Japan; and the result is, she
will have no wheat to export, and if
the war should continue for several
years, as it is very likely to do, Rus
STA will soon be importing wheat and
all kinds of provisions.
"The olive oil crop of all countries
bordering on the Mediterranean Sea
is reported on best authority to be
only one-halfF to two-thirds a full
crop, and this shortage amounts to
more gallons of oil than the total
cotton oil crop. The condition of
every crop in every country, should
warrant cotton oil worth fully double
its present price; warrant the mills
in paying at least so per cent high
er prices for seed. But the mills
cannot pay more for seed unless
the price of oil can be advanced to a
value all things justify. Oil mills
will not pay more for seed than they
are obliged to pay, and as long as
farmers are selling seed at $12 to 81
per ton, mills will not paw 500 to $22
the price seed should be selling at.
"The owe of cotton and cot
tonseed can and should control tn,
market by holding back both cotton
and seed till they can secure a price
that all conditions warrant. Unless
| they do, they will find they have
parted with three-fourths of theil
crop before the advance comes, anC
| the cotton and seed speculator vii
reap the benefit that belongs to the
producer. Hold your cotton and hole
your cottonseed till the advance is
here with you. 1t will come much
sooner if you hold, for as long as yor
are parting with your crop freely
the speculator will hold down prices
