HAVOC WITH COTTON
THE
roT WEATHER BURNED THE
 PLANTS.
xvelI-Kmovvm Farmer Declares COns bInation is made by MiII Men
 To Pay only $12
 a Ton for Seed.

A prominent farmer of Ansley, Tn q letter to the editor, states that he has never seen more damage done the con- ing cotton crop by the recent drought than is apparent in his section of the State The weather conditions, he points out, has played havoc with the cotton
 The letter states that three weeks ago the promise of big yield of the fieecy staple has given away to fields that seem scared by fire. Leaves, small bolls and forms cover the ground abouf the plant and no amount of rain or good weather until all of the crop Is gathered will offset the recent drought Other farmers confirm this statement.
 The letter further states that the oil mill men will give SIP ton for seed during the coming season. The writer then caustically remarks: NO one but a fool or a nigger would take such prices, as seed are worth $20 ton" An appeal is made to the Federal judges to take the matter of the price of seed in hand and give the farmer a square deal.
 The letter followsS
 Ansley, Ala, Aug. 20, 190s
 Editor of The Advertiser:
 The torrid weather of the past two weeks has played havoc with the cotton crop Three weeks ago we had the promise of fine yield in this lmmedt- ate vicinity. Rather too much rain during July caused the plant to make a large weed and when the present excess sively hot spell came on 1t was in a poor condition to withstand 1t, and the result is that I have never seen so much damage inflicted on the crop since the day of the caterpillar. At this late day no amount of favorable weather can offset the damage already done. ! kN-A-. .krW kdN about one-fourth of the county had had little or no rain since May until late in July. Two weeks ago our fields wore lovely green that was a delight to the grower, now they look parched as IT l scared by fire. with the ground cover ed with leaves, forms and small bons. understand that the cotton oil mi1l men are going to give SIP per ton for cotton seed I want to go on record as saying that no one but a fool or a nigger will sell his seed at such a price Cotton seed are worth $2O ton as a fertilizer. Where the seed are re- turned to the soil cotton is the least ex- haustive crop we grow except the legumes.
 Of course the mill people will all give | the same price for seed. and of course, | 1t will be a mere coincidence, for did | not these good folks testify before a legislative committee that they made no agreement to give the same price for seed7 To simple minded old | farmer like myself it seemed strange | that as seed fiuctuated in price buyers | for the different mills invariably gave | the same price. If their action is moi | in restrain of trade should like to
 know what 1t is. It seams to me that
 our Federal judges ought to investi- | gate the matter. But then the chief | sufferers from this species of robbery Lare only farmers and who feels any

special interest in our class except can dtdates previous to an election
 If Judge Thomas G. Jones would take tnls matter up, as was done in Missis- slppi a few years ago, think he would serve the farmer in a way that would aod encomiums to, the high reputation

New York. Aug 21.-The cotton market was less active today and after 0 sharp early break into new low ground for the movement prices steadied covering and 1t looked as thuKh the trade was inclined to go more slowly pending a fresh view of the situation at the lower level of prices and under the changed technical condition resulting from heavy liquidation. The market closed steady at net decline of O points. Sales were estimated at 200, 900 bales, about one-thlrd of yesterdays busi- ness.
 The market opened easy at a decline of two to three points and during the early session fell off to a net decline of eleven to fifteen points with October touching 8. b1 or 134 points below the high level reached by the bull movement early In the month. This break due to a renewal of Wall Street liouidation and bear pressure, but some of the strong bears appeared to be covering at the decline of offerings became less urgent and the market developed 0 roactionary tendency deRpite the fact that many traders thought liquidation had not been fully completed. Fluctuations were nervous during the afternoon with the mar ket four or five points off from the best Weather conditions were considered gem erally favorable.
 Receipts at the ports today 11.60O bales, against 6,354 last week and 2 506 last year. For the week 43, 906 bales, against 24.037 last week and 10.976 last year.

New Orleans, Alag. 21.-CottonL spots were quiet and easy with quotations unchanged. Mlddltng S%c. Sales were 100 bales on the spot and none to arrive.
 Cotton futures opened steady at II to IS points below yesterdays closing, except the August option. which was 10 points higher. General duiiness and fears that there would be no support for the market accounted for the early low prices. This decline. how ever. induced some buying which raised prices 6 few points, after which the market through sheer lack of interest from any source remained stationary and almost idle, but with an upward tendency. The clos ing was steady. prices being five to eight points net lower, with August again. except ed and standing 1T points above last night.
