PICK YOUR COTTON EARLY

Mr.. Louis Tomlfnson, a prominent
cotton merchant of this city advises
the farmers to pick their cotton as
fast as it opens. He says that as
long as it stays in the field it will
injure and every grade down reduces
the price.
AS an illustration there is a diff
ference of $40 between middling and
the next grade to the bale, and s25
on the third, $50 on the 4th and
SIS on the fifth.
Middling today on the Wilson
market is worth 2S IA, while strict
low middling is bringing 26 Ia
Low middling is bringing % IA and
nary is bringing Is IA.
strict low middling Is IA. Ordi-
1t is about time for the equinox
and that means storms and rains and
this means dark and trashy cotton.
Last fall storm cotton sold as low
as ten cents per pound.
Not only that Mr.. Tomlinson says
that every cotton farmer in Wilson
county is able to hold his cotton or
can make arrangements, and that he
should not sell it for less than the
American Cotton Association price
of Sc 1-2 for October.
