WHO ORDERED THEMP

In his address at the County Farm
Bureau meeting at Cairo last satur-
day President Mansfield OF the State
Farm Bureau told OF an experience
he had had with "A banker In his
home town, and used II as typical
OF all the bankers OF the West,

zeal OF the banking situation II Is

change conditions, II II WAS but an
isolated instance II should not be

that the banker IN his home town.

Mansfield.

the banker
The implication very plainly Is,

itely decided TO bring about a reac-
tion by calling In cattle loans; that
the curtailment OF credit was the re-
suit OF gigantic conspiracy.
II that inference is correct. we say
that IL is high time for show down,
We can readily understand that
Il might be purely local condition ap-
plicable In fact to only one bank,
whose Eastern creditors wanted
funds and instructed its correspond
ent banks to realize on their quick
est asset, the cattle loans.
Or, perhaps. II is possible that
the Eastern connections from which
this Medford bank obtained money
for long time loans saw a slump In
the cattle and sheep business and de-
cided II was time to get in its funds
from country banks where such loans

THE FARMER IS THE GOAT
AS USUAL

When, in the last days of August
1914. the powder magazine of Europe
blew up and the world took fire the
first effect which was felt in this
country, at least in the southern part
of it was an unprecedented drop in
the price of cotton. A drop which
was not justified by conditions
and from which no one suffered in
any considerable measure except the
cotton raiser. 1t was sclf-cvident at
the time that cotton was selling at
seven cents, and no market for it at
that price, that the depression was
only temporary, for no matter whcth-
er the war was destined to last for
years-as it in fact did-or whether
it was to be over in a few months.
an unprecedented demand for cotton
was bound to ensuc within a reason
able time. The growers Of the cot
ton were no. able to hold the crop
to any apprcciable extent, but +were
generally compelled to sell at prices
which spelled ruination for many Of
them and heavy losses for all. In a
short timc--lOng before 1914 crop had
reached the consumer prices had soar
ed to heights urdreamed Of and in it's
fabricated form the same farmers who
had sold it for seven cents bought it
back at Sl.50.
Now the inevitable reaction from
war prices seems to have set in and
again the hardest hit is the cotton
farmer. He has produced the 1920
crop at a cost based on war prices.
Prices for all fabricated material are
being artificially held up to a level
at, or very near the, war level and
will be held there until the goods
manufactured under war conditions
are disposed Of The manufacturer,
the wholesaler and the retailer will
lose little if at all, while the cotton
farmer stands to lose heavily ON this
years crop--not because the price is
now abnormally low hut because the
cost of production has been abnormally
high.
The manufacturer and the dealer
can, in a great measure at least. pro-
tect himself, while the farmer, for
want of adequate capital and credit
facilities and lack of organization
and cohesion, cannot do 50.
1t is an unfortunate situation and
the worst of it is that there is APP
parently no help for it. About all
the farmer can do is to grin and bear
it and smile or "cuSs" according to
his temperament.

In Texas and in Alabama the cxl
asperatcd formers have been threat
ening to burn cotton gins if they did
not cease ginning cotton until the price
reaches 40 cents and in Anson. Texas,
one gin has already been burned.
That such methods should be resortcd
to reflects no credit on the farmers
and does nothing to better present
conditions. Burning gins will not
raise the price of cotton and every
person with the intelligence of an
Ornithoryncus know it. Holding cot
ton off of the market would help some,
provided enough could be held back to
have any effect, but it is doubtful if
that could be done. 1t is u bad sit
nation but, resorting to lawlessness
will only make bad matter worse.
