evident that the people will have to get
very much higher price for the cotton
than they have made. or they will be
practically driven out of the cotton bust
ness. '-.-
ut is also evident that. IL the crop is
rushed to market and sold as fast as
ginned, that, a small price will necessa-
rily obtain while a gradual, slow mar
keting OF the crop will secure better
prices.
THE farmers should. therefore, sell
slowly and just as the mills need it, SELL
ing only when the price is high and with
drawing their cotton from sale entirely
on all depressions. If the farmers will
adhere strictly to this plan of marketing
they will get the best prices obtainable
for their cotton and it should be follow
ed by every cotton grower of the south d"
