COTTON Will
BE WORTH
10 CENTS
President of the Farmers Union
Thinks This Figure Can Be Reach
ed BY Holding the Crop.

Hon. G. r. Hightower, president OF
the State Farmers Union expresses the
belief that the cotton crop of 1908
should bring 10 cents, and that if
can be made to bring that price if the
farmers will hold the staple and be-
lieves that all southern interests will
cooperate to secure that figure.
/ President Eightower is very opti-
mistic, and sees In the present sea-
son what he regards as tie best op-
portunity the South has ever had for
holding movement, and his reasons
are expressed in a public statement
made yesterday, as follows:
"The cotton crop of Mississippi is
exceedingly short. Texas is even
worse than our own state; Oklahoma
has recently suffered a great loss
from the drouth and hot winds; Ark
ansas Is also considerably below par;
Alabama, while short of last year.
is not quite so bad as Mississippi.
Georgia and South Carolina have fair
ly good crops in the southern portion.
but the northern portions of those
states is short. On the whole, neither
state will make nearly so much as
last year. So on the whole the indi-
cations point to a very short crop for
the entire belt. Trade conditions are
fairly good. The consumption of cot
ton kept the pace with the production
during the last year, Notwithstanding
the fact we had a large crop and poo,

THE cotton year beginning the 1st
of September seems to offer the best
opportunity. for successful holding

bring low prices, and that is rapid
selling, while slow marketing will be
sure to force the price up. The farm.

- HiouSiphid ENeHlnS Times
A tax inventory just taken of the
personal and real property of David
Rankin, of Tarkio, Mo-, shows him to
be the wealthiest farmer on record in
the United States. To those that think
that a farmers life is a thorny one
financially, Mr. Rankin affords an ex-
cellent example to the contrary.
Mr. Ranklin's farm comprises 25.61o
acres. He owns 10000 fattening hogs.
5000 cattle, 500 horses and has on the
land more than one hundred cottages
in which the employees of the big farm
are housed. 1t requires to farm tie
vast estate machinery to the value of

The prosperous farmer is a self
made man. Forty years ago he was
struggling Illinois farmer. He lis.
covered that land one side of a state
line was selling for s2e HI acre, whila
he might buy any amount on the 9th
er side of the line for less than a
third Of that amount.
Real estate men told him chat rail-
road would never go near the land,
but Rankin refused to heed their adj
monitions, and sold his farm in iii

Cruelty to animals will be thing of

prosecution is but one of the func-
