COTTON SEN ATOR TALKS
ON COTTON SITUATION.
T.. d. Smith Says Government Report
Is Both Highly Sensational and
Nearly Accurate.

(COlum bia State.)
Washington, D. c.. Dec. 1o-Speak-
ing Of the cotton situation tonight,
Senate Smith said:
The estimate Of the agricultural
department today of the numDe Of
bales cotton produced in the south,
for the cotton year Of 1909. namely,
10,088, 900, is the most sensational ard
startling Of any that has eve: been
given and yet, perhaps, the nearest
correct. The trading public were un-
prepared for such a report for the
reason that they had not properly an
the conditions upon which such
a report must necessarily been pre-
dicted. These reasons are follows:
Tn the western half Of the cotton
belt the unusually wet spring in some
sections was followed by an unpre-
cedented drought. In other parts Of
the same section, unprecedented
drought continued until time of ma
turing vas past. In the eastern and
southeastern portions, particularly
the OF the Carolinas and
Georgia, excessive moisture was fol-
lowed by excessive drought, while in
the central regions and middle sec
tons a fairly good average season OBJ
tanned.
"In Texas, Oklahoma. Louisiana.
Arkansas, parts of Mississippi and
Alabama, the conditions wera little

produce more than half Of the Ameri-
can cotton crop and, as early as Sep
TENDER, 1t was known to all close stu
dents of the cotton crop that the WELD
in these sections could be a little above
half h they would have produced
under normal conditions.
In addition to these adverse cir
cumstances, the period Of killing frost
was a little earlier thar the average
arresting. permanently, any further
development of the plant and making
impossible any unusual top crop.
Never before in all the history Of
cotton growing in America has there
been such an open season for gath
ering a crop. Ninety to 100 days Of
open weather. September, October
and November, were almost free from
u~nfavorable OF rainy days. This gave
ample opportunity on account Of the
short crop, the supply of labor being
abundant, to gather it rapidly. The
price at which cotton was selling dur
ing the d~ebt-paying period, covering
the two months of October and No
Vember being the highest since the
war for the period named, caused it to
be gathered and marketed more rap
IDLY than has been the case during the
same period since the history Of cot
ton growing.
This means. therefore, that there
is less cotton u~ngathered, less cotton
u~nglnned. less cotton unSold than has
been in the South at his date since
1880. And the figures Of the depart-
ment are more under the mark than
above it.
IF the law Of supply and demand
IS to determine the value of The com
modify and in the spring and umn1er
of 1905 a 100000 crop was worth 10

1T is a mystery which has puzzled
many American citizens and they

why American steel and tin plate,
American sewing machines and man

London than in New York, and they
nave had the object-lesson of Ameri-
