BOOSTING THE COTTON PRICE.

THERE is hot tip out that owners of cotton mills
buying 1917 cotton at 10 cents a pound This
is most attractive to cotton planters but let no
Oklahoma planter get the idea into his head that
this future price is being made for his benefit.
The mill owners would be quite willing to make a
FEW cotton contracts the l9-ccnt basis but would
they agree buy the whole crop that price? Probably
not.
1t looks good deal as though the mill owners or
their allies boosting the price OF cotton the hope
that the planters of the south will stampede and RAISE
au enormous crop of cotton next year The buyers OF
cotton would Jump at the chance contract for FEW
BALES at fancy price Then they would SIT quietly
back cast and watch the planters prepare to raise
double crop. An over-production would send the price
OF cotton downward, just how far knows and the
planter may find that he has played his hand by
becoming intoxicated by price which aimed at him
as bait
Let the Oklahoma planters hold their balance and
not get excited hearing of few contracts at - cents
pound for 1917 cotton II the entire crop OF American
1917 cotton could be sold in advance 70 cents pound
there would be in increasing the output But
wise planters will fall into trap which is set with
the offer of purchase of FEW BALES OF cotton al
high price The acreage of 1917 should be held down
! to approximately that OF 1910
