Horse SWappers' Convention.

The annual convention of the Ohio
Horse Traders association met at
Cardington, O., last week. Resolutions
were adopted denouncing automobiles
and airships as methods Of convey
ance. The sessions were held in b
hayloft. All members were compelled
to sit with arms folded, that the temp
tation to pick their neighbors' pock-
cts might be lessened. The presidents

and unable to be present. One hum

In opening the convention the pres

bricators, it gratifes me exceedingly
to report to you that our worthy or
ganization has had a remarkably
prosperous year. In proof Of this
statement have only to call your at

three-quarters of that number are in

IS the duty Of every man to stand
ttirm in this contest. Those who waver
and depend upon their neighbors to
carry all the burden. if it is in their
power to hold back a portion of their
crop, are not true to themselves, their
neighbors or their country. The words
have now been passed all along the
line. and "Fifteen Cents' are those
words. They are short. but they mean
millions to Southern farmers.
Texas Fully in Line.
For the first time in the history Of
the advocacy Of a slow movement Of
the crop and holding for minimum
prices, the great cotton producing
state of the outhwest is in lien.
Our advices from Texas are to the
effect that cotton is being tightly held
by Texas farmers. and that practical
" no cotton is bein" offered at Hous-
ton and Galveston at prices less than
ii TO II 1-2 cents for the new crop.
One year ago, in the same section,
the farmers sold their crop freely
around nine cents per pound, after
the prices had been fixed BY the S. c.
\. and F. Z. at much higher figures.
The Texas farmers have doubtless
felt the costly errors Of their past
methods in marketing their valuable
staple crop without Judgment or dis
cretion, and can now be relied upon
to stand pat with the other states.
This is glorious good news. It
marks a new era Of strength in the
ranks Of Southern farmers. which
makes their position ten times strong
er than in the past. Texas annually
grows from one-third to one-fourth
of the entire South's production, and,
therefore, holds the balnce Of pow
er in the marketing Of the crop. The
great exports Of raw cotton to feed
the millions of spindles in foreign
countries largely 60 from the ports OF
Texas.
If the exports are checked by
reason of the slow movement in the
interior due to the united effort Of
the farmers, it reduces the opportun-
ity Of the exporters and foreign
spinners to accumulate large supplies
Of raw cotton during short period
of time, and then Use their strength
to hammer the life out of the spot
market. Keep the demand active by
limiting the supply Of the raw mater
ial each month.
Maintain high and stable prices
throughout the entire selling season
of ten months, and stop the bad policy
Of allowing a speculative, fluctuating
market to exist by selling a twelve
months supply in four months. It
is all matter Of warehousing, financ-
ing and slow selling to win the fif-
teen cents minimum this season, and
The Cotton Journal has joined in the
fight to stay.

Market the Crop Slowly.


There is but one effective way to
maintain a high average Level Of pric-
IS this season, and that is market the
crop slowly in September, October
and November. There are more. ware
houses in which cotton can now be
stored in the south than ever before.
There is more money in Southern
banks to aid in financing the cotton
to be held by the farmers and stored
in these warehouses than ever before.
The bankers of the south have this
year expressed greater willingness
to advance money on cotton in stor-
sge than ever before. It is now an
easy matter to store a 50O-pound bale
Of cotton in warehouse and borrow
from the local bank loan Of $50, at
from to 8 per cent per annum.
Counting storage, insurance and IN
terest on a bale Of cotton if held on
an average of six months, it means an
expense of considerably less than one
cent per pound. By holding and SELL
ing slowly it means a gain at from 3
TO 4 cents per pound over the prices
that will be realized if the crop is
rushed on the market in large quanti-
ties during the next three months. It
