Dwyer Declares Banks Will Advance
Money ON Cotton Receipts
Thinks Warehouse Facilities
Of Chickasha Sufficient
LOOKS FOR BETTER
MARKET LATER
Farmers, Merchants and Bankers
Must Cooperate Proposition
is Up to the Local Banks
Says Courtney

Eyes, sir! | think the farmers
should store their cotton in ware
houses instead of putting it on the
market now, and | think Chickasha
has enough warehouse room to han
die all the cotton in Grady county,
said Thos H. Dwyer this morning,
when asked to express his opinion on
the cotton situation as applied to
local conditions.
Continuing, Mr.. Dwyer said, In my
opinion the farmers should get the cot
ton out Of the field with as little ex-
pense as possible, should bring it 10
town, have it ginned, store it and take
the warehouse receipts to the banker,
who will be able then to insure it and
advance the grower some money. At
the present time there is practically no
market. | think the local season will
open in that condition, but if the farm
ers will only hold back their crop and
keep as great a per cent off the mar
ket as possible, conditions will i'm
prove
THE spinners in America must have
cotton. They see a chance to make a
killing and they have hammered the
price down. In my opinion, by the
middle Of October, when the Oklahoma
crop is at its best, the spinner will be-
gin to need cotton and need it badly
Hence he will be willing to pay more
FOR it, When the crop is put on the
market, let it be sold slowly and be-
lieye good price may be maintained
"The farmers, merchants and bank
ers of Chickasha must work together
in order that the situation may be
taken care Of 10 the best advantage.
1t would be possible for the banks to
furnish a vast amount of money to
spectators with which to purchase
cotton at a low price, to be held for
a better one. The bankers don't want
to do that II is their desire to see
the farmer reap the benefit II is es-
sential that the farmer receive the
financial aid instead of the speculator.
But il the banks are going to favor
the farmer. the farmer should meet
the banker half way and help him.
That is, he should consult the banker
regarding the disposition Of the crop,
explain to the banker conditions as
they arise.
The government is not going to
furnish any money on cotton. There
is money there. but to get it the bank
er must put up security and mighty
security at that. The situation must
be met locally.
Il don't believe it will be necessary

on the verden road but according to
the program they will be out tomor-

does not put them out of business TO-
night.
The only vi k they have been able
to accomplish % far has been the dig

poses and the filling in of few
places.
In certain sections Of the road the
drainage was necessary as the water

making it an impossbility to proceed
with the road work. The fault has
been entirely with the weather Teams
