REDUCING corroH
SUPPLY DANGEROUS.

Any organization seeking to curtail
the production Of cotton. or any other
agricultural product IN the United
States is making prievous mistake
Any artificial setback 10 the produc.
tion Of Gotten by the United Statet will
be shortly responded to by an increase
Of the supply from India and Africa
and will offer iust SO lmcn more in
ccntive % other countries to take up
the g-ovth Of ccttcn aad enter into
competition fer control OF the world
market
The cunailmtnt Of production might
operate temporarily in advancing the
price and might, for a time. thwart
the attempt Of ,hc bear brokers to
cut he price, but the ultimate result
is bound to iEjure the American
farmer. ~hc supremacy in a market
IS an easy thing to lose but hard one
10 gain. The farmers are as a class
somewhat slow in taking up the pro.
duction Of aew crops but they make
up IN tenacity Of hold On the produc'
ticn by operation Of the same law. It
therefore behooves the American cot
ton farmer to be very cautions Of artl-
acial attempts to limit production.
Oklahoma farmers have done well
in Gotten and in no section gro the
farmers in better condition than IN the
cotton producing counties. Oklahoma
farmers have the advantage Of manv
other cotton farmers in that they d.
not depend entirely on cotton, but
plant corn and oats and wheat enough
to keep them II the cotton crop par
tally fails ether in production or
price The safes; plan is not to yield
toe much, either TO low prices or high
prices. hut to go straight ahead with
the mixed cTors. assured that. II tho
price suns too low one year. it Is sure
to rise and, il It gets above cost Of
production and reasonable prcft, it is
