ces of profit amply justify our advice.
If anybody, tenant or landlord, is
obliged to have money and cannot
borrow on his co.. ton, or othrwise, he
ought to see if he cannot sell to some
farmer or other neighbor who will
hold the bale out of the regular chan
nels of trade until prices become nor
NAL. We do not believe in any farmer
specializing in futures at any time.
That is mere gambling. But it is just
as legitimate for anybody to buy real
cotton when he believes it is going
up as to buy land when he thinks it
is going up. More so in fact; because
an advance on land values helps only
the owner, while the man who takes q
bale OF cotton off a demoralized mar
let helps others as we'll as himself.
Once again, hold on to cotton. Let's
not turn over to buyers and manu-
facturers the millions and millions
of clear profit we need to get and
keep for the cotton growers and their
families.-Progressive Farmer.

Once Again, Hold on to Cotton.

We hope no cotton on our subscrip-
ton list missed the review of the
cotton situation as given in last
weeks Progressive Farmer. If man
read that article, it should not be nee
essary to urge him to hold cotton
hold even if he must borrow money
to pay debts now maturing. Nor
should it be necessary to again urge
him to make himself a missionary in
the cotton-holding movement. Your
ignorant neighbor, even if he is mere
ly some backward Negro tenant, who
can't read and write, if he accepts
the prices now offered for
cotton, helps break the market as
truly as if you had sold in his stead.
We must spread the truth as to cot
ton conditions and encourage all clas-
ses to join together in holding move
ment, the good results Of which will
benefit all classes. The meeting in
Atlanta this week should start a gen
eral holding movement from Virgin
ia to Texas.
Two or three facts, in particular,
need to be constantly emphasized.
1. Our people seem to have been
generally misled as to the figure at
which cotton prices would have been
fixed, if price-fixing had been carried
out. The fact, that some Ohio Con-
gresham introduced a bill naming
20-cent price has nc significance
whatever. There are 435 members of
the House of Representatives, and If
l of the 435 had even suggested a
scent price for cotton, it would
have meant nothing. One of the best
lawyers we know says any man has a
constitutional right to make fool of
himself. But we have it, pretty
straight from headquarters" in COM
mon parlance, that if cotton prices
had been fixed last month, that price
would most probably have been 50
cents.
2. The second fact we wish to point
out is that the "Autumnal Dip" or
"fall drop" in cotton price is one OF
the recognized features of every mar
keting season. About this time OF
year a great quantity of distress
cotton" is forced on market which
has already absorbed bales enough
to satisfy the immediate needs of the
, mills. Then it is, as a friend remark
ed last week, that trying to force
big quantities of unneeded cotton on
the market is like trying to feed more
corn to foundered horse"
Another important fact is that un-
til the size of a crop is definitely and
finally known and the crop actually
ginned, the tendency of all buyers
and spectators is to 'play safe" by
assuming that the crop may be a lit
tie larger than government reports
indicate, and shade prices enough to
offset any possible increase in the
final figures.
a. The nationwide influenza cpl
demic by closing down some mills
and reducing the output of all or
nearly all, has also weakened the de-
mand for cotton right at this time.
Our advice to all farmers therefore
| is to sit steady in the boat, borrowing
money if need be, and hold for higher
prices. We may be mistaken but the
factors just mentioned : together
with the ever-brightening pro rect
