COTTON THIS YEAR BRINGS
ST., 1000, 900 ABOVE LAST YEAR
Yet Crop is About 25OOOOO Bales Less Than 1911 Yield
Points Out Mr.. Watson-He Urges Farmers to
Hold Decentralization is Called to Marked
Increase in Production of Long Sta
pie Cotton

estimates that the crop this year will
be about 2,500,OOO bales less than
1911 The final federal government
report just issued show S the 1912
crop to be exactly 2,43O,276 bales
less than that of 1911. This was nc
mere guess. 1t was a deliberate cal.
culation based on what had to be the
result of the application of the Rock
Hill plan.
when the harvest season opened
and marketing began, every move.
ment Of market manipulators was
watched. A great many producers
rushed their cotton to market in the
early stages, for fear prices would
not advance, playing into the hands
of the manipulators. When this be.
came dangerous, statement was is.
sued from the headquarters of the
congress showing why prices had to
advance and appealing to all pro.
ducers to hold their cotton. It was
issued on Saturday. When the fol-
lowing Monday came, every state
ment made found its verification in
the rapid rise in the market and no
amount of hammering, and publica-
ton OF alleged authentic reports of
|iconditions in the territory could stop
the steady advance. At no time dur.
ing the marketing season was there
danger of a. successful downward
trerd of prices. Danger being abb
.senb there was no necessity for the
congress to assemble before the act.
ual result of the plans executed could
be- seen of all men.
8 $4,000, 100000 Worth Raised.
Probably nearly $4,000, 900, 900
worth OF cotton has been produced
since September 1, 1911, and the
price of American cotton still ap-
proximates nearly $40 a bale, though
tcf course, this is not the average.
fyss* There-is no longer any Question
concerning the price of cotton during
the next eight months, except in re,
lation to supply and demand, and
there is no reason why cotton prices
should decline under existing condi-
tions.
"The experience of the past 16
months has brought it's lessons, and
it is of vital Importance that before
the planting season of 1918 opens
those lessons should be drilled into
the brain of every producer. I have
had no fear for the 1912 situation
but have known the danger of a
return to large acreage following q
year of fairly good prices.
"The great lessons is contained in
these facts. The 1912 crop was ia,
less in bales than the great crop OF
1911, yet somewhat larger than the
next largest raised in 1904. The lin,
of the 100000 5OO-pound bales
crop of 1910 brought to the produ.
GERS $7S8,00O,OOO. The lint of the
great crop of 16,25O,276 bales of 1911
brought them only $661 100000; the
13,820,0OO bale crop of this year will
bring not les than $735, 900. .OOO-
STA, 100000 more"

E. j. Watson, commissioner of agri-
culture of South Carolina and presi-
dent of the Southern Cotton congress,
today addressed communication to
the members of the association in
which he reviews the cotton situa-
tion in the south.
In his communication he declares
that the experience fthe past 16
months has brought it's lessons and
that it is of vital Importance that
before the planting season of 1918
opens these lessons should be drill
ed into the brain of every producer.
In his letter he urges the farmers of
the south to hoard every bale possi-
ble
"There have been marked increas-
es in the amount of long staple cot
ton of fine quality planted and pro-
duced," says President Watson.
The following is the address to the
members of the Southern Cotton con-
gress: M
GAS December Is has passed and
the 1912 cotton crop has ben har-
vested and largely marketed, with
prices showing stability that cam
not be shaken, and as the south Is
soon to face an other planting season,
| deem it my duty as the executive
head Of your organization to direct
your attention to the lessons to sbe
learned from our experience and to
present to you my reasons for not
calling the congress together this
fall. This address to you is issued
also to beg you to hold as long as YOU
can syery--bale of your cation tlia Il
has not yet been marketed.
Last winter, after prices had
been steadied by. the methods en-
ployed, by the hardest kind of work
on the part of your officers working
In closest cooperation with the Off
GERS of the National and State Farm
ers' union, many thousands of dol
lars being saved to producers, real
izing that business sense and meth
ods had to be applied to the cotton
situation for the year 1912, John G.
Anderson, of South Carolina, sug-
gested his widely known Rock Hill'
plan to bring about a substantial re-
duction of acreage. Having the
hearty cooperation of the union Of
ficers, your president and Mr.. Ander-
son campaigned every state in the
cotton belt during February, effecting
thorough organization in each. You
are familiar with the details.
Predicted Reduction.
EARLY in June, my last address to
you was issued. On June 5, the press
dispatches carried to the world a re-
sumo of that address, announcing a
reduction of 16 per cent in the acre
age and saying President Watson

Nearing the Mark.

The campaign to raise $4,000 for
the Union Chamber of Commerce has
resulted in reaching the mark of
$2,7OO per annum for three years;
this means that but $500 remains to

CALLS REMBRANDT
BBSTDUTCHPAINTER
Charles H. Caffin, the Art Critic,
Lectures on Subject Before
Art Society.

Charles H. Caffin. OF New York. last
night said in a lecture delivered under
the auspices OF the Washington Society
OF Fine Arts at the auditorium OF the
New National Museum that Rembrandt
was the greatest of all Dutch painters.
Students of the Washington schools
and connotsseurs OF the National Capital
rather lean to the opinion that Peter
Paul Rubens, Frans Halls, or even Van
Dyke merit greater exaltatiOn in the
world of art than Rembrandt.
Mr.. Caffin was invited to this city by
the Washington Society OF Fine Arts,
and the circumstance that he last night
expressed a rather revolutionary opinion
has tended TO excite controversy.
Another point in Mr.. Caffins lecture
to which exception was taken by his
auditors was his statement that the
Dutch school represents the ideal in
painting.
The lecture last night was the third
of a series conducted under the auspices
OF the Washington Society of Fine Arts,
and the auditorium was filed.
On January 13 Mr.. Caffin is to appear
here again to lecture on Velasquez. On
that accession, II was predicted last
night by several members OF the society,
his statement in regard to the stand
ing Of Rembrandt and the idealIsm OF
Dutch art may be answered by some
local artist.
Next February the society will hear
Prof. T Lindsey BIayney. OF the Rice
Institute. lecture on Albrecht Durer, and
Miss Anna Seaton-Schmidt will lecture
on Jean Francois Millet in April.
Stereopticon slides illustrate these lee
