ly depends upon individual effort.
Each man to a certain extent will de.
termine for himself the acreage Of the
different crops he expects to plant and
cultivate. The question for every cot
ton grower in the South to determine
within the next month or two is the
number Of acres to the ploW he Will
plant in cotton this year II this prob
LEM is conservatiyely solved during
the planting season, the question of a
good market for the staple next fall
will also be solved. If, on the other
hand, each individual farmer makes
I'D his mind to plant every available
acre which he can prepare in cotton
and does so, it will have a depressing
effect on prices throughout the entire
year, no matter whether or not the
crop may ultimately turn out to be
only a normal one through adverse
climatic conditions. Every farmer
who has given any thought to crop
conditions in 1906 must realize that IL
seasons had been good and no storms
to destroy the crops that an enormous
Weld would have been the result from
the heavy acreage planted last year.
1t has always been difficult matter
to sell large crops at profitable prices
to the growers. 1t makes no differ
ence how great the demand may be
for spot cotton by the mills Of the
world, the speculative and legitimate
cotton trade combines to depress
prices during the activity Of the sell
ing period by farmers. The buyers
and gamblers In the cotton exchanges
| know that the growers generally are
forced to sell that cotton to pay up the
debts made during the year to pro-
duce the crop and they take every pos
sible advantage of the situation.

to the fact that we do not market ou1
