Some sixty days ago We were told that
cotton was going to eight cents per pound.
We we're told this by some Of our leading
business men and cotton buyers OF our cities
and they did finally scare some OF our farmers
and managed to get them TO sell some AZ ten
cents per pound. Now let's see what 1t Is
selling for. All the way from IL to IL 1-2

best estimates o~btainaole the req uirements
of the mills this year will be greater thar the

there should be no fear OF a surplus TO EN-.
barrass the marketing OF the balance OF this

generally considered that after Inc shortage

supply the demands. A bumper crop cannot
be- expected this year because the acreage has

Oh me! I saw a huge and loathsome sty.
Wherein a drove of wallowing swine
were barred,
Whose banquet shocked the uostril and

Then spoke a voice, "Behold the source

I fled, and saw a field that seemed at first
One glistening mass of roses pure and

With dewy buds mid dark green foliage
nursed;
And, as I fingered DER the lovely sight,
The summer breeze, that cooled that

who can sing well laugh harshly when
