DON'T RUsH TIE CROP. /
The Farmers should Market Thier
5s Crop Slowly.

The first bale OF cotton mas Deen
sold already in South Carolina and
| the new crop will be moving rapidly
in a few days. Present prices are
excellent and the growers will be
tempted to sell cotton as fast as 1t
can be harvested, ginned and packed
| but We say don't. In this connnec-
tion we commend to the farmers the
following. from The State:
The producer of cotton should BE
the chief factor in fixing prices at
lleast until there has been an over
production, of which at present there
Is assuredly no prospect. Consump-
tion is increasing at greater pace
than production and the high prices
of late years have failed to cause ex-
lpansion. Of the acreage. The supply
Of labor apparently remains station
ary and what enlargement OF pro-
duction has been made Is perhaps
due rather to improved methods OF
planting and cultivation than to. a
greater acreage and more numerous
laborers in the fields.
Whether the price Of fIcotton be ~
cents or twenty censt per pound the
| crop should not be dumped on the
market within space OF four
months. The independence Of the
cotton grower lies In the distribu-
tion Of the selling throughout the
liz months of the year. A quality
that makes cotton especially desira-
BILE from the producers point Of view
is its non-perishableness and the far
mers should take advantage of 1t.
Certainly the advantage ought not to
be surrendered by the farmers, as
body to the middlemen.
:. Were the bulk of the crop Of 1910
to be sold by the farmers between
this day and January 1, the prices
received, high though they be, would
be less than they should be. A mar
ket cannot be gluted without demor-
alizing prices temporarily though 1t
be we'll known that scarity of the
commodity will! follow later. Thou
sands of Southern farmers are in po-
sit.on to hold cotton so long as they
wish. If there be no motive to hold
| for better price at this time, there
are the strongest reasons for the
farmers to guard against reducing
the prices-and that would be the
sure result Of a general and hurried
movement to sell.
More courage is required to hold
cotton when the price Is high than
when it Is very low but the farmers
should display it. The farmers or
CARNATIONS should, meanwhile, be
at hand to guide and steady the sell
| ing movement. If the formers can
act together, as they have acted, to
good purpose when cotton prices
were low, they should be able to CO.
operate and so sustain high prices.

Ts,okjnp for q Booster,

The State says: "and now Orange
burg is loking for a booster. Or
angeburg's splendid back country
and her live merchants are the best
boosters, but it pays to have the
general business Of pulling and pub
licity made the special business Of a
secretary of the chamber of COM
merce." That is true, but we fear
it will take more money to get the
right kind of booster than we can
afford to pay.

The Cotton Crop Late.

Our Cope correspondent says some
Of the heaviest rains of the year fell
there Friday afternoon late, and dur
ing the first part of the night, and
Snake Swamp bridge, just below the
town, was almost floating Sunday
morning. Parties had just begun
picking cotton and one or two had a
bale or more picked out; there has
not 'ceen any sold at Cope yet, while
for the same date last year 13 bales
were bought by one firm, and 81 by
that firm up to date. This goes to
show the lateness of the crop in this
section.
