In the Interest Of Cotton.

There is no reasonable doubt OF the
fact that the people Of the South can
come pretty near controlling the price
Of cotton by means Of thorough organi-
zation.
The experience Of the past few years
has taught US that if We would protect
ourselves along this line, we must be
in a position to control production as
we'll as the marketing Of crops.
Including a. t does millions of peo.
pie and wide territory, the task of
organizing the South is no small one,
and it can be accomplished only under
the lead Of the very best ability this
section is able to produce.
The indications of the past few weeks
point clearly to the fact that the peo-
pie of the South are now ready for or
ganization. Everybody realizes the
necessity for such step and all classes
are willing to help.

at general organization, each of them
apparently on an equally large scale,
and while there is possible danger
that the end desired may be defeated
by too much confusion, unless rivalry
should develop +ha probability is chat
they will get t, aer on satisfactory
basis.
Under the circumstances, all people
who earnestly wish 1 for success must
be careful about being too insiiste,ins
upon their own particular notions.
They must lose sight Of practi ioally
everything, but the one essential and
all important consideration Of effective
organization and listen receptively To-
the wisest counsel that may be offered.
Itis quite probable that oiganiza.

Another Plan Suggested.

| 10 the Editor Of The State:
After so many enthusiastic meet
ings OF cotton growers throughout abe
cotton belt, it seems useless to say
anything more relative to the bear.sh
cotton market. But the question is
one Of vital interest to me, and, al
though not a planter, | feel that l
should like to offer what appears to
me feasible suggestion.
From one viewpoint the spectators
have now made il possible for the pro
duccr to prove himself the hero of the
strife. The plum is in his own hands
if he will only grasp it. Why should
prosperous, independent farmers waste
time, energy and money preparing to
grow another crop Of cotton, when the
present market condition affords him
the opportunity Of getting his cotton
for less money than the cost of pro-
duction? Instead he should at once
buy spots, store, insure, sit back and
await results. Such Immediate action
on the part of q few strong farmers
would deplete stocks, curtail acreage
and protect present holdings, besides
giving strength to organization.
Consider the matter thoughtfully.
Does it not seem foolish to struggle
one whole year to grow staple that
can be bought at the beginning Of the
year for less money than is required
TO make it? Is there not less risk
and strain in caring for crop of cot
ton than there is in making one at
present prices? Some may argue
that the idea advanced is impraotioa-
bic that many farmers are not finan-
cailv ablo to buy this cotton. This
istrue in part. But suppose that in
40 counties of South Carolina there
we're twenty independent planters,
each of whom would buy the cotton
that could be produced on 200 acres
Of his farm, and it is readily seen that
in these 10 counties of this State alone
there would be ourtailment Of 160,-
600 acres, and probably 100000 bales
Immediately taken from market. And
if South Carolina with her small area
and this limited number of planters
could reduce to this extent, how great
could be the reduction of both acreage
and market receipts throughout the
cotton belt. Thus the farmers could
control and withhold from the market
OF least three or four million bales,
ourtsil acreage and make au organiza-
ton as firm as is necessary for the
present.
Again, others may contend that this
plan would interfere with resolutions
made by farmers' meetings, as come
farmers would be forced to sell for
others to buy. This would not be
the case, judging from present mar
ket receipts. There is class Of FAR
mels who will not stand firm. Either
they will lose faith and sell or they
will be entrapped by the generosity Of
exporters promiaing free storage and
insurance. So We may expect offer
i1s5 for the next mouth. To check
this and curtail acreage is the produ-
GERS object.
Ifadopted and adhered to this plan,
! think, would for the time partly
solve the problem Of higb.prioed fer
tilizers and scarcity Of labor, in addi-
ton to materially advancing tho
price Of cotton and giving the far
mer and his lands much needed
rest. W. A.

There is, perhaps, no other community

from loss and damage from this source
is something to marvel at and rejoice

juxtaposition, perhaps, that the one

tion; at any rate the splendid advan.
tage is hers to make the most of.

possible, difficult as it may seem. Seven
years ago the City of Salem confront.
ed just such an emergency and by sheer
business rules overcame the situation
to the tune of $4,000 per yer to the
good of the taxpayer. She Topped
right and left, cut her interest bills in
two, reduced her department forces,
put her salary-roll upon a reasonable
living basis and looked sharply after all
expenditures and requsitions, and is to-
day one of the best governed cities on
the coast. Astoria and Salem are prae.
tically on par, as to population, prop.
erty values, resources and cost of main.
tenance. And it will scarcely be con.
eeded that she has more public spirit
