wait and the mill can not, so I'm sit
ting tight. Cotton goods are bringing
such high prices that the mills can
afford to pay 35 or so cents for their
staple, and still make good money.
Well, the farmers are playing the
waiting game and the farmer has the
upper hand this time.
The cotton that is now stored
away represents velvet, more or less.
Distress cotton already has been
placed on the market What's left is
being held for improvements.
WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD.
Barns and houses are to be paint
ed new farming implements are need
ed and will be bought; many farmers
are waiting for d new automobile;
others have planned to buy more land.
That's what this stored cotton is for,
but all of these things can be put off.
The barn can wait another year The
land is not wanted unless it will pro-
duce cotton that will bring a high
price, and that old 1916 automobile
will stand few more weeks or
months-if necessary No, sir, the
farmers are holding, and they will
continue"
Another well known farmer said
that every banker and every mer-
chant was with the farmer in this
holding movement, and was helping
the farmer to hold, and will continue
to help him.
THE bankers and merchants know
what high prices for cotton mean to
the farmers and to every other man
and woman in the South, and they do
not want the farmers to sell.
This is the highest holding move
ment I ever saw in all my experience
as a farmer. It extends to every cot
reproducing state, and IT WILL
STICK. You newspapers just pass
the word along that there's nothing
doing until cotton brings what we
think-and we know-it is worth. We
know the mills are in combine, and
the mills now know that we farmers
are some little combiners ourselves.
It's up to the mills. We should
worry"
RESULT OF DIVERSIFICATION.
With peanuts bringing $500 a ton,
corn and oats at the top notch; hogs
and battle in plenty, the farmers say
they are no longer compelled to plant
cotton and nothing but cotton
The farmer has learned his lesson.
He has entrenched himself behind an
barrier of diversified

crops, where once he only had cotton,

Il am figuring on putting in quite

There's money in tobacco. Money

Potash is being bought in greater

deep blowing make it possible to get
around labor shortage, save expense

the companies who have been writing

Where guards are furnished under
the new policies there is a big reduc-

is not as great A we'll informed
insurance man told The Tribune last
nl2ht that the companies writing
burglary insurance are considering the
employment of force Of former po-
hccmen to protect aIl messengers in

table bonds. This man pointed out
that messengers have stolen $3.50 600
worth of securities in the last six
months and little or no progress has
been made by the police in the effort
to recover them. He said the time has
come when the insurance companies
must organize for their own protec-

the greater city yesterday. According
to the unofficial figures gathered last
night, they carried off loot worth about
$4,000. The police declined TO dis

reported from other sources
Early yesterday loft thieves climbed
the fire escape at 1l6 West Twenty
ninth Street, and after breaking into
the Offices of three firms. cartcd away
$4,000 worth of silk. They entered
the plant OF the Paris Skirt Company
OH the sixth floor and helped them
selves to $1,000 worth OF property.
Then they climbed to the tenth floor.
where they took $4,000 worth of silk
from the plant of D. & L. Herman e.
Co., and $4,000 worth from the
Loyal Dress House. Because Of the
bulk of the stolen property the police
believe the thieves must have carted
it away in a wagon.
