The Fight for Better Cotton
Prices: Six Things You Can Do

The great meeting of the American
Cotton Association 10 Montgomery.
Ala, last week, discussed a lot of
things, but we believe the gist of the
conference may be given in six definite
things every cotton farmer in the South
can do to help the fightifor better
prices.
1. First and foremost, hold your Get
ton. We. must show the bear gamblers
and their allies that they have absolu-
tely mistaken the spirit and determine
ton of the Southern people II they think
we will sit idly by and be robbed Of
half the fruit sof this years labor. II
has cost between 80 to 40 cents spound
to make this years crop. The decis-
ion of the Montgomery meeting was that
40 cents should be a minimum price for
middling.
Not only must each man resolve to
hold his own crop. but he must see
his neighbors and insist on their holding.
AS J. A. Brown says. "We must shut
up the market so tight that no man cal
buy or beg bale of cotton at preseD
prices-so that the only way Ito get |
bale of new crop-cotton until price
improve will to be to steal it'll"
Mr.. J, A. Tool. the distinguishes
English authority, who came to Montg
omery at President Wannamaker's re
quest, sized up the present word cit
uation somewhat as followsC) Th
world will need every bale of colto
that is produced this year. There !
no real overproductior. (2)Right now
however, there is practically no move
ment Of cotton goods, wholly abnoI
NAL temporary dullness in the bushes
! Of cotton manufacturers, and of cCurs
they are not offering norma! prices fc
cotton, Present prices are only fict
GUS prices based on.a temporarily d.
moralized market.
Nevertheless If one fourth of the col
ton farmers of the South are such fool
as to accept this fictitious under-valui
ton for 1920 cotton, prices on the who
crop will be lowered. We must kee
anybody and everybody from selling ,
present prices.
2. Go TO your county mass meetiu
next Monday. September 20 Ever
county in the South is asked to hold
mass meeting of its cotton farmers Q
this date, to make plans for holdinI
warehousing. cutting acreage and COO
erative marketing. Go. and get yol

ant. black and white. We must edl
cate everybody and all classes to II
Importance of this light, And see
il that everybody makes some coutribr
tion for supporting the Cotton Associ,
tion in its plans. A good method wi
be to have every grower authorize.h

for the organization. Business me

8. Cut your :cotton acreage next
year by sowing record. breaking grain
crop this fall. Don't just talk about
''cutting down acresge,'-a negative
sort of program. Tell everybody ito
cut his cotton acreage by sowing more
wheat, oats, and rye and by sewing
more clover to enrich the land for corn
next year. This is the only sensible
way to reduce acreage.
A. Put your cotton in A warehouse,
and organize cooperative marketing

the comprehensive report on coopera-
tive marketing adopted at Montgomery.

Specialist Murphy and others. The re-
port tells just how to start cooperative

As for warehouses, If there's not suf-
ficient warehouse room in your.section
it will paw to hurry up the construction
of buildings of cheaper sort. In next
weeks Progressive Farmer 1--WE expect

Mr.. D. c. Walty, vice-president and
manager of the Arkansas Cotton AS
sociation where by 1000 bales may be

ONE OF THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
 SUGGESTS HOOVER

One of tie outstanding things 1n connection with the situation within the Democratic Party with ref to the Presidency is the frankness of those who are candidates themselves, and the disposition not to organize a nominating campaign but to leave the choice with the people. Perhaps none of the candidates have been outspoken in this frankness as former Ambassador James W. Gerard. While he is the only one who far has actually filed any where a candidate he, in the first instance de- cared that he would withdraw if President Wilson should indicate desire third term And at the Jackson Day dinner at Washington he again clearly indicated that he did not want his candidacy to stand in the way of that of any one whom the people might think would be better President or better Presidential candidate and he suggested, openly and frankly by name Hoover, as one who might be both. He said:
