OUR OPINION And THE
REMEDY


Cotton mas declined in the last two
weeks six cents per pound, largely
due to Englisl, spinners selling and
SPECTATORS selling heavily on both
the New YORK and the New Orleans
exchanges, and for the purpose Of
stampeding spot holders
We have had four short crops. Cor
sumption exceeded last years produc-
ton by 100000 bales. We had been
led to belie7e that the entire world
was short of cotton and cotton goods,
which we believe is true, yet the
price declines. Figuring any way you
may the coming crop will cost 70
produce it at least 80 per mt more
than the lat crop. The expense of
growing cotton has to be fixed at the
beginning Of t1,e year. Conditions are
different to other manufacturing cor
Germs or corporations, who, if it be
comes necessary to reduce wages can
10 so from time to time during the
year. The price for fertilizer to be
used on the farm is also set for the
year, in fact everything that goes to
nroduce the crop. Fertilizer is very
high considering the quality; in fact
the highest price ever paid consider
ing the ouality we are getting.
We notice fall months are quoted
on the New York exchange around Is
cents It is an evident fact that cot
ton can not be produced at any suca
ridiculous figures. and means heaTy
loss to all producers. if any such
prices should exist next October.
AS we see it the holders Of spot
cotton have the situation in their own
hands and if properly managed can
and will show the consuming world
that they are yet masters of the stu
elton.
Cotton is tie best property that can
he owned. Uulike perishable prod
ucts. We have the only country In
the world that can grow this COM
modify that the entire world needs,
vet we are asked to produce cotton
at a sacrifice and loss.
AS we now view the situation the
only and wise course for the producer
% follow is heavy reduction IN are
age: not less than 80 per cent, ann
fertilizer in proportion. Plant Other
food crops or let the lands lie Idle,
IT'S much more profitable to gro"
weeds than cotton at loss, and too
what is the use to plant full cron
ard sacrifice your present noldlnss
and t3e crop to come. In our opln
ioc i is wise to cut reduction in acre
are so as not to produce over s'S"o'-
roo bales. This will insure a sooS
nice for what you have and the pros
nnrtiye crop. And too OUT present.
ho,diDos can be much better and long
or financed when we show to the
world that we intend and will reduce
the acreage this year at least 80 per
cent and fertilizer in like proportion
Let all and every one stand to-
gether Hold this cotton you now
have. Reduce the acreage and Ter
tilizer. Show to the world that we
intend to win and not sell until We
get. cost of production and a falr
profit.
If we are foolish enough to plant
large acreage we may lose and hayo
70 sell both crops at Tuinous prices
that will take years to overcome
Hold and let reduction in acreage
be your motto.
