able to carry this crop at the very
least cost to the farmer. so he could
have some way of paying his debts
and still carry the cotton. even till
next fall and sell with a short crop
another year. all concerned would be
better. Mr.. Theo. Price suggests that
we issue bonds as legal tender and
bold the cotton as Security. II this
could be done, and he says II can. we
could then pay our debts and retire
the crop till we got our price. BY
his means IL seems that we could
Eame one price almost Inoetermlnate-
~ something similar to Brazil with the
coffee crop. The armer could store
their cotton at the different towns
when cotton is sold at their expense
and insure il, and il we could get the
use of bonds or something that we
could use without interest, we could
keep this cotton and dispose OF II as
the trade wanted it at a living pront.
Cotton is a Southern industry, in
which the whole South-is concerned,
and especially so. 1t really IS as
couraging to begin another crop on
account of the present low price or
cotton. 1t is surprising that the South
has not taken a stand for higher
prices sooner. Surely they have brain
and money to do something. They
have not shown either yet. Cotton is
lower today here han ii has been Yet.
This is a distressing state OF affairs
and no one realizes it like the farmer
and the one who supplies the farmer.
The others will realize it before long
should these prices continue. Small
farmers, it seems, are Amos com
PEELED to plant cotton, but OF course
can cut their crop some. The larger
planters are the ones TO control the
situation. The smaller ones do most
of their own work. The larger ones
have to hire or rent out. The larger
oncs can control the situation, cutting
their crop by buying cotton In New
York today at about nine cents de
Iivered. next October and November.

WHAT CAN THE COTTON FARM
ERS DO?

The big question, not only with the
cotton farmers OF the South, but with
everybody else in the South-bigger
than any political or social question
is the cotton question. This paper has
printed in the last ten days many let
ters n statements from farmers and
others relative to the best plan to be
pursued in order to enable the farm
ers to get a better price for the crop
from losses another year.
The Farmers Convention, held in
Raleigh last week, had in it MANY
wise and sensible men who took a
forward step, but this is a matter so
big hat the action of no one State
can determine the best course to mr.
sue. The big convention Of all the
Southern states has been called by
the Governors of the cotton-growinp
States to meet at New Orleans on
October Goth. North Carolina will he

There is only one way by which
can hold their cotton. and
ina is TO live at home. Here is an
example for emulation, as stated bv
the Warren Record:
In conversation with the chair
man OF the board of county, commits
%sioners, Mr.. Peter Nj. Stallings. in
reference to the ability of our farm
ers tohold their cotton, we incidentally
learned from this modest but
slNe gentleman that he had not
bought u pound of meat for his ia
bic III over fifteen years, that he had
lard in plenty for each e thai he
bought his and coffee with
money derived from sale of honey
ana that there had not been a bal,
of hay on his place since he com

MOORE COUNTY FARMING.

The recent Fair held in Moore
county served to show the strides hat
county is taking in every way, par
ticularly in agriculture. There have
been more transfers of land in that
county to new comers in the past year
than in any county in North Caro-
lima. This is particularly true of cot
ton lands, and the development has
just begun. Mr.. Ralph w. Page, son
of Mr.. Walter II. Page, after gradu-
ating from one Of the first colleges in
America, made Up his mind to leave
New York, and has built him a homo
on a large farm purchased in Moore
county, and will engage in farming
in that county. The Eagles Mills
correspondent OF the Moore County
News, gives these additional stems
showing good farming and investment
in lands in that section Of Moore
county:
Mr.. r. E. Lewis, who farms at
West End. has ALREADY picked four
bales of cotton from two and one
half acres Of measured ground and
is not yet through picking. Mr.. Lewis
used one thousand pounds of fertilizer
TO the acre. 1t is the first cotton he
ever raised. Mr.. Lewis is a brother
in-law of County Commissioner j. b.
~Noncannon and is d native Of Ran
dolph county. He only paid IS per
acre for the land upon which he has
TINS year practically made two bales
OF cotton per acre.
Another new conner in the sand
hills here who is doing well is Mr.
!. ID. from Marlboro county,
South Carolina. Since last Christmas
AIR. Woodley has cleared about 900
acres and is averaging more than half
2 pale to the acre and on a part is
making about a bale to the acre.
Mr.. Mel. Kennedy has receDtly
SOLO TO a party Of New Workers a
I'VE hundred and twenty acre tract
or land which will be DEVELOPED this
winter into a cotton plantation. This
makes seventeen hundred and eighty
