Wannamaker Says Cotton Growers
Must Name Price of Their Product

the cost of production Of the growing
crop, basis middling, of Al IL cents
per pound. With the present short
age of labor, the percentage of off
grade cotton from the growing crop
will probably break all previous rec
ords, as there is certain to be a great
deal of trouble and delay in gather
ing the growing crop, which will be
bound to cause off and low grade cot
ton.
Much of the information in pos
session of the association shows that
the laws of supply and demand are
absolutely ignored. The imitation OF
the currency which is as unchange-
able as the law of gravitation has no
bearing. However, these laws can
not continue to be violated. they will
assert themselves eventually. In ad-
dition to this, watch the condition of
the growing cotton crop from Au-
gust is to September and you will
see record breaking deterioration. The
cotton plant in its present condition
can not stand reverses, neither can we
spin paper cotton, bollies or rotten
cotton, which are included in the pub
lished surplus.
'"The laws of God work slowly but
surely. Truth crushed to earth will
rise again. These laws can not be
ignored. True, some manipulators
have gone unpunished for 10! these
many years, they may change and
controvert and doge the laws of man,
However, remember that they can not
change permanent supply and demand,
nor can they change permanent in
fiation; hence in the end you are
bound to see prices something like
what your cotton is worth, regardless
OF this hellish manipulation, and this
price is bound to be above any price
for which iti has sold, certainly since
the commencement of the war, and in
ali probability record breaking
price Do not become intimidated,
frightened, browbeaten-iwe are no
towards, knavcs or fools, and are GER
tainly entitled to square deal.
'"The organization of the American
Cotton Association is the only guar
antee that we will get a square deal,
that the future will be protected, that
present depressed conditions will be
obliterated; the South will come into

trenely easy with us, but it is an ab-
solute tool for the manipulation, the
prices being fagraptly and violently
manipulated at his own sweet will, so
that cotton is really considered as
gambling product, and in our section
of the West is considered unsafe for
handling by the banks. You should
do something to stabilize your prices.
''Dry goods today, since the break
in the price of cotton, are still ad-

count of the great shortage of the
manufactured product. There will be
a record breaking demand for cotton.
CAS- soon as the peace treaty has

be denied one implement that he has

A mammoth mass meeting, COM
posed of Representatives from every
county in the cotton belt, will prob
ably be held in the early fall for the
purpose of discussing and recon-
nending a minimum price for the
growing cotton crop, according to a
statement issued Monday by J. Skot-
towe Wannamaker, president of the
American Cotton Association. 1t is
declared by Mr.. Wannamaker in his
statement that experts who are work
ing on the cost Of production of the
growing crop find that it will be the
most expensive crop ever grown. One
of these experts, Mr.. Wannamaker
says, rendered a detailed statement
showing the cost of production to be
a LIZ cents pound. The statement
issued by Mr.. Wannamaker follows in
-
full:
.SThe American Cotton Association,
through confidential representatives,
has been securing inside information
from the cotton consuming centers Of
the North and from the New York ex-
change for quite some length of time.
Much of the information is very valu-
able.
"a mammoth mass meeting will be
held in the early fall for the purpose
of discussing and recommending a
minimum price for the growing crop,
based on supply and demand and the
compc rison in prices of manufactured
products and other commodities. Al
so the matter of acreage for the COM
ing wear will be seriously considered.
The farms will be operated on busl-
ness basis and only such acreage Will
be planted as based upon supply and
demand will bring a profitable price.
Under no condition will the acreage be
planted to establish surplus to bear
down prices.
"After this meeting confidential in
formation secured, as stated above,
will receive the most careful consid-
Grafton and attention of special COM
nlittees, 1and in all probability a re-
quest 9Dr a special investigation of the
ant manipulation which has been
practiced in the cotton market will
be made. AS result of this manipu-
sla4ion the South has suffered the loss
