WIREGRASS IS AROUSED

Information during the week that cotton seed will bring only $40 a ton and peanuts only cents a pound at the opening of the new season brought storm of protest from the wiregrass this week. Farmers and commercial organizations complained that these prices will not even furnish funds suf- ficient to pay for production much less give the farmers return on their in- vestment.
 Mass meetings are being proposed and the farmers intend to protest against the prices, which they contend are being fixed arbitrarily by those Tn the market without considering the cost of production. Cotton seed brought from $70 to 390 a ton and peanuts about 12 cents a pound last year.
 If better prices cannot be obtained the state agricultural department will propose that some means be work ed out for the financing of the crop dur ing the time the prices are down in order that those needing money may not be forced to throw their crops on the market at prices less than the cost of production
