fight to protect its cotton against all enemies
open and secret The planters should, after
paying their debts, hold their cotton ana
store it, knowing full well that if they assert
their power they can control the marketing
of their staple.
The age-old custom Of rushing cotton to
the market in the fall only played into the
hands of the buyers who, having forced
prices to the lowest point, stocked up heavily,
and then prices advanced, to their profit but
to the loss of the growers.
Let the South hold its cotton and market
it slowly during twelve months instead of
in four and the producer will then soon hold
the whip handle and no longer be driyen by
the lash of the buyers. At the same time the
South should give its attention more largely
to diversified agriculture, raising full sup
ply of foodstuffs, for its own use and to add
to the nations foods stores, making cotton a
surplus crop. For quarter of century the
Manufacturers Record has sought to drive
home the idea that every Southern farmer
should raise his own foodstuffs and then
plant in cotton his surplus land only. In
that way lie prosperity and safety, and in
that way only.-Manufacturer Record.

THE COTTON SITUATION

English cotton experts at the Worlds
Cotton Conference in New Orleans last year
insisted that the world needed $4,000, ,000-
baie crop from the South this year. They
repeated the statement over and over again
when they got back to England. They
warned manufacturers of world cotton
famine already in sight. The South has not
raised the 100000 bales for which they
begged. Its crop viii be several million bales
short Of what they said was absolutely need
ed but under the drastic deflation work Of
the Federal Reserve Board which has
brought stagnation where abounding activity
prevailed cotton buyers in Europe and in
this country and the bear gamblers are using
the opportunity thus created to drive cotton
prices down below the cost of production.
Betrayed in the house by its supposed
friends, its credits curtailed by the action of
the Board, the South must face tremendous

in the receiver of a telephone is better than
