GET GOOD
 CREDITORS. Advice of Commissioner
 Wilkinson. ISSUES LETTER TO FARMERS Intimates Some Creditors Are Growers Enemies. Commissioner Says Growers should Not Hold Cotton Unless Out of Debt or On Consent of Their
 Creditors.

A letter full of spice and addressed to tho farmers of Alabama, was issued yesterday by Hon. J. A. Wilkinson, Commissioner of Agriculture and In- dustries In this communication the Commissioner warns against undue in- fiuences being brought to bear on the cotton grower to turn loose his hold ings.
 There Is also a streak of advice to the grower of the fieecy staple to engage more extensively in diversified agri- culture. Confidence Is expressed by the Commissioner in the ability of farmers to organize. They are urged to do so and get as soon as possible in a posi- tion to shake forever the hordes of sharks" in the country who are the enemies of the grower behind the mask of friends.
 Perhaps the keynote of the address Is the warning that every grower when he seeks a creditor, as he has to do, should beware of the temper and mo- tive of the creditor He should be true friend and man who will not "wantonly' force the farmer to turn loose his bales.
 The letter Is as follows:
 To the Farmers of Alabama
 We note the quotations of the cot- ton market have downward tenden- cy. that the future or fictitious mar ket is much below spots. and that there is a great stir among the "bulls' and bears of New York. This should bA a warning to every farmer of the South.
 By the experiences of the past we gain knowledge and have clearer vis- Ions into the future. and better know how to act Without stopping to dis enss the New York Cotton Exchange, where prices are fixed by men who, per- haps. never saw a cotton field, except perchance. from a palace-car window, we will make some suggestions to our cotton producers, who are now pre-

pairing to gather and market the new crop.
 Since the Farmers Union and the Cotton Associations have lined up to protect the cotton producers from the sharks, who have greedily feasted on the innocent suckers" of the South for more than forty years there has been to destroy our confidence in all farm CTS movements and in each other; and when the panic which was precipitated upon the country by the spectators in bonds, stocks and cotton futures, was in it's zenith, many prominent papers and periodicals, principally in the North. urged that the Southern cotton producer was responsible for the pani" by holding cotton. and it therefore be- came the patriotic duty of the South to turn loose her holdings, and in this way put a hundred millions of dollars Into circulation. Had the cotton then held been precipitated upon the market. to save Wall Street. we would doubtless have realized from six to eight cents for it. and the organizations of the far mers would have been overturned.
 Some will say we started out to get fifteen cents cotton and failed-true-- but we succeeded in preventing a slump to six cents and may be less.
 Let the dead past bury its dead. The question is-what shall the farmers do in the future--give up? Never. we have saved ourselves so far, hence we should take courage and nor only con- tinue, but double our efforts. not in fighting any other interests, but in pro- tecting ourselves from those who kr-ow nothing and care ess, io~ the cost of production and the price Of cotton.
 Some suggestfsas.
 let The farrnar ehO.fId rafea everY- thing needed by himself and family at home, making cotton always the EIr- plus or money crop. n this way, each farmer will be in position to contiol his cotton.
 2nd Until farmer is out of debt he should not hold his cotton, except by consent of his creditors.
 3rd All creditors should heartily cooperate with the producer to the end that cotton may be marketed slow
 4th. Any creditor. 1ho wsrtcnly forces the farmer to throw his cotton on the market is not in sympathy with him. so It. behooves the farmer to know his friends.
 9th. The slower the cotton can be markc ted. .he surer are prices to be upheld, and 1t is therefore a good poll cy to store your cotton either nj the warehouses. or better to store 1t in your own barns and basK yards, but always under shelter, where 1t can not be so readily counted against you.
 9th. Under normal conditions the consumption of cotton will not be less than 12 1-2 to 13 1-2 millions of hales: therefore if thc-@ should be issued some 'buIl' reports and the cry go forth that a bumper crop will be made, the holder should not De alarm ed. but only hold the tighter and mar ket the slower.
 7th. A good rule--When a farmer wants 50 to 75 dollavs for use. sell a bale of cotton; when he neds double that amount, sell two bales. and so on.
 sth. A ruinous practice is indulged in by big farmers who sell their cotton
