Prices Depend on Acreage.

AS to prices next season, that de-
weather conditions. The first cotton
to move will sell at very high prices
and as soon as the movement gets
free the price will likely be much
lower, if the farmers follow the usual
custom of planting a large acreage
after every short crop and high prices
Should they plant about the same
acreage as last year and have a rather
favorable season indicating a crop of
about 12,500,00O, prices might not go
lower than 12 12 cents and would
likely average as good as this season,
bringing in over billion dollars, in
cluding the seed. If large acreage
and the same conditions indicating a
crop of $4,000. 900 or over prices will
likely go back to the same as 1908
and we would receive at least $780,
100000 less. Just think what a diff
ference this would make to the South.
hope that every business man read
ing this will call the attention OF the
farmers and insist on them not in
creasing their acreage. Feed crops
are high and will likely go higher and
you should put your extra acreage in
feed, thus making you Independent.
The world is expecting you to plant
large acreage, and they are getting
ready to buy it for nine to ten cents.
Don't think that you can increase your
acreage and the others will reduce
because the records show different.
For the past several years we have
had poor crop with high prices, one
year followed by a larger acreage and
good crop with low prices the next
According to the past we may expect
a large acreage and low prices this
year. Now, Mr.. Farmer, it Is up
to you to make the price high or low;
which shall it be? Indications now
are that the acreage will be increased
and you will certainly lose heavy if
you do increase.
County papers please copy.
Yours truly,
J. A. TAYLOR, President,
National Ginners' Association.
