Weekly Cotton Review

new orleans, June A.y-CottOn this week
closed at a net advance of IA to II points
Bulls were in fairly good control of the
market from the start, the low prices be-
ing made on Monday and, at the lowest
only slight ret decline was allowed. the
trading months standing unchanged to 4
points down, compared with the final
prices of last week. The high prices were
made on Tuesday when the trading
months were 23 to 80 points over last
weeks close. The range Of prices was %
to 36 points
The main bulllsh influences of the week
were the operations in the July position
and the cold weather in the cotton belt,
Reports of too much rain in a few sections
of the belt early in the week also helped
the longs side. While few people claimed
that any great immediate damage had
been done the growing crop by the low
night temperatures. 1t was almost unani-
mously conceded that the growth of the
plant was being retarded, which, the bulls
argued, served 10 make the crop even
later than 1t became because Of the set
back around planting time. Toward the
end of the week weather conditions were
more favorable. but they brought forth no
great amount Of fresh short selling. Bears
were wary because of their inability to
get good line IN the July campaign.
The work of the bulls in the summer
months caused a considerable improve
ment in the spot demand, while offerings
of actual cotton were not large enough to
allow large business being done, there
was more activity than usual in spot cir
cles which made the cause Of the bulls
grow in favor In some quarters
The small stocks at United States ports
excited no little comment and caused un-
easiness among shorts. Rumors were
that stocks would still further shrink as
the result Of )ending foreign shipments
The only consolation the bears got out Of
the gossip and rumors of the week was
the report that owners of actual cotton In
the south were selling July In New Or
leans and New York against prospective
large shipments to those markets.
In the spot department prices gained
Y of cent, middling closing at ~ 7-16c,
against IL 3-16c last week and 12kc this
week last year. Sales on the spot
amounted to 1873 bales, against 1900 last
week and 1919 this week last year. Sales
to arrive were 1850 bales, against 900 and
$685.

know of man some years ago bought a forty acre farm and paid what was thought to be a. whacking big price for it. He then spent three full years fitting that forty acres. He plowed it and manured it, and plowed it again. He raised clover and turned it under He piled up manure and forked it over and over till it was thoroughly rotten, and shovelled it on by the carload. He narrowed and planked and rolled-and then he plowed some more And har- rowed and pIanked and rolled all over again.
 Then he put the whole patch into onions.

Suppose you put certain amount of work and manure on five acres of potatoes and get an average profit of $20 an acre from them. That's $10O. Now suppose you put exactly the same amount of manure and work on an acre of asparagus. It would be a dunn poor year if that acre didn't pay you more than $10O profit. But assume that it did just that: just the same as the five acres of potatoes. Can't you see that you would still be better off with the asparagus acre than with the potato five acres? In the first place, you would have saved the interest on an investment in four acres. In the next place you would have saved the taxes on four acres. Also, you would have saved the cost of fencing four acres. These may be small items but it's many a nickle makes a muckle you remember, and small savings add ed together make bank accounts. As a rule, we farmers have to think hard about the pennies, if we ever expect to handle dollars.

Riqht there is the head of the partic

Right there IS the head of the partic- ular nail, I'm trying to hit, this morning. We can't raise crops if we sow the seed on an unplowed pasture We all of us blow and harrow, in order to fit the soil for a seed bed Why job? Why stop when the work is half done? Labor is so high" You bet it is. But you've got to put some la bor out anyway. Why not draw in your boundaries a little and put the same labor which you must use on less ground and get better proportinate crops?

Of course, we aren't all built alike. There are some farmers who can't be happy unless they are rattling around over three or four hundred acres. But the most of us can do better work with our fingers within arms reach than we can at the end of a ten-foot

Now l don't want to be understood as intimating that anybody can buy forty acres of land anywhere, and make $15,000 a year off them with onions. This man knew his land and his markets. He went into onions be- cause the land was naturally fitted for them and because his market called for all he could supply.
 But, salles alive! onions aren't the only things to raise. And there is land which may not be worth sixpense an acre for onions which would yet pro- duce big crops of something else. The very primary and kindergarten law of farming is that you must fit your crop to your land and your own ca pacity,-and to the markets you have When you've done that, then the big gest and best crop you can possibly raise is the one for you to get after And tillage is the first and longest step towards such a crop.
 There are more of us who cultivate our crops well, after they are up, than who adequately fit the dirt for them before they are sown or planted.
Norwich bulletin., 1913-06-07

Uncle Ike's aphorism was literally true of this man. He actually made his big crops before an onion seed touched the soil. Those first three years of, seemingly wasted labor in fitting the dirt for the work it was to do meant all the difference between a common place result and a really big thing.

lf you're a fair n1any--fair with your self, I mean (too many of us are not) -, you can't help seeing that, the better your ground is fitted, the bet ter the crops, as a usual thing. "Plow- deep while sluggards sleep said Poor Richard. The finer the tilth the finer the crop" said old Jethro TulI, a, pioneer English farmer. Campbell. the famous arid-land farmer went so far as to put his wheat and hay in rows, not just drills, so he could cul- tiEate it.
