BACKBONE OF FARMERS STIFF.
Can Hold Cotton Cheaper Than Can
Raise 1t.

The story published yesterday of
the burning OF cotton bales in the
streets of Fort Gaines, Ga. upon the
idea that a diminished supply would
raise the value of the staple, was re-
garded here as decidedly foolish and
calculated TO produce ridicule more
than to effect good Several farmers
in Americas yeste, day, men who have
carefully studied over the situation,
will do the p oper thing and If their
suggestion is adopted the price of
cotton Will be away above 81 cents a
year hence. These farmers are going
to store away the cotton now on hand,
as it is cheaper to hold it than raise it
at present prices. They are then GO
ing to cut the acreage of the next crop
away down, raise plenty of food stuff,
and next fall, with half crop of cot
ton raised cheaply they will be in q
position to dictate prices. But there
will be no cotton bonfires about Ameri-
Gus.
