DON'T BE TRAPPED By A
RISE IN COTTON PRICES

The prospective carry-oyer OF cotton
at July 31st, 1921 is now not far from
100000 bales. That amount is fully
100000 bales larger than was threat
ened before the Christmas holidays,
when the acreage committee predicted
that the carry-Oyer would not be less
than 100000 bales Thus it is that
our fears have not only been confirmed
but the situation is even worse than
we seemed warranted in predicting a
few months ago.
A desperate effort has been made
during the last three weeks to advance
the price Of cotton. 1t is trick of
those who want cheap cotton, to ad
vance the price about planting time
The trick has been used so often that
! it can now deceive no one. Efforts tc
advance the price of cotton while de
termined have failed, and this fact Of
itself should be a sufficient warning tC
farmers not to be misled. When thOsl
who want cheap cotton and who ordi
narily control the price Of cotton can
not advance the price for purpose
it is not likely that the farmer vii
be able to advance it.
| Cotton acreage must be reduced, anC
the reduction must be adequate. Any
thing less than 80 per cent compared
with last year will not be adequate.
| There is now enough cotton in TIT
world unspun to last nearly two years,
The world will carry over this yea
more American cotton than was spun
| during the past twelve months.
| The carry-over, including linters, ma,
approximate 100000 bales, or fror
five to six times a normal carry-Ove
Of American cotton.
The United States cannot consum
more than about 100000 bales of col
ton annually.
Europe, which ordinarily takes tn
surplus OF the American crop, or abou
so per cent of the crop, is very III
promising as a market, because of d'
preciated currency and lack of securit
to offer a basis Of credit.
The buying power Of the world
far below normal, the supply of co
ton is now vastly in excess Of ever
normal requirement.
It will cost more to produce ne
