Growers "ow to Obtain Relief From Present Conditions

/ We have sold 100000 bales to the

Yet every cotton mill in the south
is today standing by the planters and
hoping for the success of the move
ment, because they are deeply inter-
ested in any proposition that will fix
a staple price on cotton.
A plan fixing the price of cotton
at 10 or II cents would have the sup
| port of every cotton mill in the world.
The strongest and best bank farm
er can have is full smoke house
and corn crib.
If we will stop buying high priced
western corn and meat with low pric-
ed southern cotton the south will be
the richest country in the world.
The crop of 1908 brought six hum
dred million dollars.
In the various channels of trade
it sold for two billion dollars.
Shall we sit quetly and let outsid-
ers price this great staple for us?

The four competitors of our cot
ton are wool, silk, fax and foreign
grown cotton, none of which can be
used in the manufacture of cloth SO
, long as the price of American cotton
remains at 10 or IL cents per pound.
At ii or 18 cents we may have
some competition with foreign grown
cotton, but up to IL cents there is no
material that can compete with it.
We hold an absolute monopoly,
and lose the benefit of it because we
/ have no system in marketing it.
Few Mississippi cotton planters
know what becomes of his product
after it is produced, yet the planter
should know this as we'll as he knows
the cost OF production.
| Foreigners call the southern cotton
grower 'brainless fool" because he
has a monopoly of the finest staple
on earth and has not sufficient bust
ness judgment and energy to develop
system to control it.
The northern farmer puts a price
on his wheat and corn. He says to
the consumer you must pay. so much
or go without"
Wheat can be grown in nearly every
foreign country, yet we possess a sta
pie that cannot be grown anywhere
else, and stiil allow outsiders to die
tate its price to us.
| Where is the farmer in Mississippi
today that can price the products he
raises upon his farm, or can price q
single thing he buys: or can sell his
product at the price he puts upon it!
What we raise to sell is priced BY
the man who buys it from
us, and what we buy is priced by th'
man who sells it to us.
