What you can expect

time the marketing and financing OF
the cotton crop has been almost, If
not absolutely in the hands Of the
English and Northern spinner, specu-
lator, gambler and manipulation. The
producer has never had an opporJun-
ity, or the privilege of naming the
price for which his produce was to
be sold. AS a result we see the con-
ditions today. The West and the
North before the world war had out.
stripped him in the accumulation OF
wealth, in progress, in prosperity ;,nd
in all that goes to make up the ba-
that is coming into the country. The
vast initiation in values that has swept
over America since the commencement
of the world war has added fabulous
" to the wealth of every section eH-
cept the South. AS a proof of the
wealth of the country, take the as
sessment for the Liberty Loan t&nds,
which assessment was made IN ac-
cordance with the wealth of the corn-
try. For this reason the assessment
for the cotton belt based on wealth
therein was far, far below the assess
! ment of any other section. True we
vet it just as Loyalty, just as patriot
ically, in fact, probably more So be-
cause it was absolutely necessary TO
deny ourselves the necessaries which
we're long overdue, and which it would
be possible to obtain if we shirked,
but no Southerner has ever shirke1
a duty. The producer of every sec
ton has long since snapped the
shackles that we're binding him to !he
middleman and the manipulation and
gambler. Hef markets his own pro-
ducts, he sets his own price, he IS
prosperous, contented and happy. Tho
products on which prices are set by
the producer are far too numerous
to mention. They range all through
the line of production of coffee, corn
wheat, oats and even up to apples

The cotton producer Of the South
has always concentrated his efforts
upon production, and from the time
he first commenced to produce cotton
until today, he was left the market

the middleman has received the lions
share Of the profit. The producer to
a large extent has eXisted--never

stroyed the forestry, destroyed the
fertility Of the soil, absolutely ignor-

underpaid, underfed and scarcely
