BATTING THE COTTON PLANTER.

CPECULATORS in cotton alleged to be smarter than
- the planters of cotton. In the absence Of cross
examination the question may remain unsettled But next
season we will have fine chance to Judge If the charge
he correct.
The cotton speclator tolls not neither does he spin
He leaves the toilng to the planter and the spinning to
the man who owns the big cotton mill Yc, the specuator
seems have little trouble in keeping the wolf from the
door even at this time when the grocer feels obligated
TO take much toll
In past years the pccuator has been in evidence only
at the time planters had cotton sell The specuator
looking for low prices and since many planters were
forced to sell part OF their cotton to pay pressing bills
and notes often they at the mercy Of buyers who
always had the cash ready to exchange for the few bales
Later on the specuaor sought and usually found fancy
price for the cotton that he owned
But at this time the cotton planter is confronted by
the keen spccuator in different gulSe There seems TO
he we'll founded report that Mr Spcculaor is abroad in
the land urging planters increase their cotton acreage
n the specuaor such increase he will hold a
fortified position time year and will he able to
point to the increased cotton Yield Since bales
less dollars for each bale the Spcculaor will be
ready to reap harvest at the expense Of the man who
buys cotton seed and bends his back low in trying make
that seed develop into markahle product
So the planter well bc the lookout for the spec
ulator who will be along in few days urging that few
more acres Of cotton be planted the ,pccuator can
get an attentive audience from all planters in the
spring time then the government estimates will indicate
. great cotton crop II Tins condition docs not shauer
prices then all past records wrong.
The planter will find that the cotton spccuaor will he
booster planting time but not booster OF prices at
the time the planter wishes to sell his cotton
In other words the planter to get good price for his
1917 cotton will exhibit the highest type OF wisdom If he
holds his acreage year that Of l9lh lower IN
that way he force decent price for cotton II he lets
the specuato govern the planting Of cotton the pecuaor
will be able to govern the price And experience recalls
