WARNINGS OF THE WISE MEN

Pledge With Determination that They
viii Stand Together for Better
Prices for Their Products

Monroe.-Last spring when cotton
was selling around 40 cents pound
and British spinners were visiting
the south and telling the cotton grow
ers that the world would need this
year bigger cotton crop than ever,
far-sighted men urged the farmers to
curtail acreage and increase feed
crops. A meeting of the Union coun.
ty branch Of the Cotton association
was called for the purpose Of pledging
the members to curtailment. About 3
bakers dozen farmers came and half
heartedly agreed that 1t would be
well to plant less cotton-Xd went
home and planted as much as ever.
Last week another call went out to
Union county members OF the Cot.
ton association to come together and
decide what to do about the situation.
The warnings of the wise men had
proven all too true; the price of cot.
ton was down below cost Of produc.
ton and big crop was ready for the
market, much II 1t distress cotton,
and prospects for living return upon
the years work were Of pale and sick,
ly hue. This time the farmers came.
Old residents say the meeting in the
here was the biggest far.
mers meeting ever held in the county
and they cheered every reference to
hem as shortsighted, simple folk for
having done as they have done this
year, and pledged with determination
that they will stand together for bet
ter prices for their product.
