HART PREDICTS
l5CENT COTTON

After travelling extensively and
making careful observations Of con
ditions in five states, J. L. Hart Of this
city, well known as a cotton man.
comes home with the prediction that
Il9i2 win be a year Of "i5-cent cotton
and s5-cent corn
Mr.. Hart bases his prediction on
what he has seen in Oklahoma, Texas,
Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Mis-
sissippi, having travelled over thou
sands of miles in those states during
the past month, including much Of
the flooded territory. IN vast area
Of cotton country along the Missis-
sippi river, water has stood ten feet
deep said Mr.. Hart" and it will be
month or more before the land can
be cultivated They can't plant cotton
till May OF June, and then it is too
late, for them to make crop Besides
the price OF cotton is low now and
corn is high and consequently the
farmers will 90 in largely for corn,
and not much for cotton. The reduc-
tion Of acreage in the flood district
viii have a marked effect on the size
Of the years cotton crop. In spite Of
the record-breaking crop this year. the
price of the staple has been advanc-
ing since the last report was issued
and I confidently believe it viii reach
fifteen cents next year"
Mr. Hart has recently Travelled over
oklahoma as far west as Hobart, bach
TO 81 Reno and over the Fort Worth
G Western line, and also made trir
to Dallas. He says much Of the land
planted to cotton last year is beinl
put in corn From Chickasha to Dal
las said he, 4 saw fully five acres
OF corn to one Of cotton Several o.
the southern states win increase theii
! corn acreage this year and / look fol
a decrease in cotton acreage from
causes other than the floods"
