THE FARMER's DAY OF TRIUMPH

Cotton growers in Sumter county
who are so fortunate as to have
cotton still on hand, are viewing the
reaction from recent low prices with
pleasure Prices are yet considerably
below the views of holders, but
things are coming their way with
more celebrity than has been in evil
dence since the financial crisis gave
the bears a change to sound the an
vii chorus with renewed fury.
Some very hard knots have been
tied in the tail of the bear kite by the
recent ginners' report, which show
ed that the amount ginned thus far
indicated a crop of around 100000
bales. This is on the basis that less
than 100000 bales remain to be
ginned, which has held good up to
date in the history Of the trade. Be
sides the Government figures, private
estimates have been made of the
same tenor Texas, which was the
bulwark of the big crop last season,
showed 100000 bales, which is GER
tainly discouraging for the bears
who have been seeing a 100000 bale
crop from the Lone Star state. Some
good judges cannot find proof for a
crop larger than 100000 bales.
The present situation is great
triumph for the farms who
have held back their cotton, selling
only enough to meet necessary de-
mands. The bucket shop advocates
declared that the farmer was ruined
when Georgia abolished the wire
houses, and that the producers had
cut off their best friend and their
only hope in carrying the crop. Well,
the farmer is still alive, with some
good cotton on hand, which it does
not bring 10 cents will be great
deal nearer that it is now
The bears are on the run and it
will be a case of curses come home
to roost" The worst has passed and
farmers who did not turn loose at
low prices during the financial crisis
will certainly not do so now so that
those who have merrily sold ahead
something that didn't have, will reap
full harvest when they are called
on to fill their paper contracts.

Professor Sykes said that realism, or life

stern realities of life, with all the posi-

the writer. Realism must nave all the
