"HoLD YOUR COTTON"
That is the Advice That President
Smith Gives South Carolina
Farmers.

What must a farmer do with his
cotton? Some are selling ut prevail
ing prices while many are holding for
eleven cents. One of the best rosteI
men in the South IT, Mr. Smith. lresi-
dent of the South Carolina Cotton AS
sociation. He advises farmers 20 hold
and says:
"The bears have boasted that they
would put cotton to nine cents and
lower. The producers determine that
they wouldn't take it. AS a result
they have forced prices up 40 points
in two days, simply by holding their
cotton.
"1f we can force the price from
9 IL tC 10 cents, we can force the
price to any reasonable or unrea3cn-
able position simply by holding our
cotton
THE lesson of 10000, which Sully
taught us, plus the lesson of the
spring Of 1905. is sufficient to teach
any reasonable man that the world is
dependent not SO much on the crop
as the man or the men who own the
crop.
