The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-09-21

The farmer in the South who has
made a good crop of cotton and sells it
at a profit, has added just the amount
of his profits to the wealth of the
South. lie has gained just the amount
of this profit to his own wealth with
out making anybody poorer. These
profits thus derived-that can only be
had by profitable prices for cotton
enables the farmer to pay off all his
bills. The merchants and supply men
get their profits, the banker gets his
interest, the fertilizer men get their
profits and the mule-man exchanges
his white paper money for legal tend
er and is tremendously happy. Best Of
all, there is still money left to pay
the preacher, the doctor and the school
teachers.
Look at the difference. Suppose
we all get alarmed at our own success
in making fine crop-thc very thing
that we started out to do in the be-
ginnin" Of the year--and this being
the very thing, too, that all those cred
itors Of ours wished for, and then the
farmers "et to rushing and racing
with each other to see who can get
their cation Off first before it falls
in price. then regular stampede en-
sues and the price runs down away
below cost.
Then all our creditors become
alarmed, too, and regular panic
takes place, leaving the whole Of our
interest the losers where fortune
should have smiled upon every inter-
est in the South.
The wealth created by the farmers
Of the South has been squandered by
imprudent marketing Of our money
crop for many years, when if the
business men of the South had come
to the aid of the farmer at the right
time all this great loss that has gone
to enrich foreign interest might have
been placed to the credit of the gen.
eral prosperity Of the whole Southern
country.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-09-21

There Is M getting around lie fact
that the growers of cotton should have
the aid Of most all other business oc-
cupations in the South to back them
in their efforts to maintain profitable
prices for cotton in the beginning Of
the season, and it is to the mutual
benefit of our whole interest to do it.
AS cotton is king we should like the
name "Southern Cotton Association. -
The business farmer need not lose
any prestige, manhood or anything by
his participation in cotton confer
ence for the good Of the whole coun-
try. In fact, the Farmers Union men
could gain much business knowledge
by this rubbing up against business
men in other occupations.
If the Cotton Association could
purge from its membership all that
cotton gambling elements, no doubt
Farmers Union men could then claim
kin with them and join in with them
with some degree of confidence in
maintaining profitable prices for cot
ton.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-09-21

If it is true that the cotton farmer
has made fine crop this season this
good fortune belong to the farmer who
dug it out of the earth, and the far
mer can keep this good fortune foi
the use of himself if he will only Join
III concert of action among cotton
producers to take his cotton back
home from off the streets every time
that the price drops below lie.
If you owe bills don't dodge your
creditor but 60 right up to him like a
man and, if you cannot arrange mat
ters with him to help you keep your
cotton off of glutted and depressed
market, then your last chance is to
store your cotton in warehouse and
give your creditor the benefit of all
that you can get on your cotton. Be
sure to act honest and square with
your creditors every time and then
you can't help from feeling comfor-
table about il.
When we come down to earnest
business consideration of the present
cotton market, it is much easier now
to raise the price from Zoe. to lie.
than it was to raise it from 7c. to 1Oc.
for our '04 crop. In '04 our Farmers
Union membership was less than 400
thousand members; now our member
ship goes over 600 thousand and cot
ton farmers now owe less money and
nave more food crops, too.
When we take into consideration
these facts that as our members pro-
ducc from Il few bales each up to 100,
and now, and then some reach 500 to
1000 bales. ii would appear to be
reasonable calculation to put the Un-
ION at an average of say Is bales.
Now, if the Union will retire from the
market an average of only five bales
each, this would take in hand three
million bales and make ii easy for the
Union to demand and get profitable
prices for their cotton.
