COTTON CONTRACT { ABSOLUTELY SAFE
Farmer Has Nothing to Fear in Five Year Agreement, Says MT,
 Hugh T. Brown.

Little Rock, Aug. 31.-The Arkansas Cotton Growers Association will be
 successful if 25 per cent of the esti- mated cotton production of the state Is signed up, according to Hugh T. Brown. manager of the Organization |Committee of the association. MT. Brown says that 25 per cent of the states cotton would be enough to in fluence market and the signing of contracts for this amount he regards as practically assured.
 Many farmers who have not yet signed contracts to market thelr cot ton through the association seem to view with some suspicion the fact that the contract. stipulates that they
 nust market all their cotton through the association for five years said MT, Brown.
 "The reasons for this five-year iron-clad contract are obvious. One IS n insure that all the members stick.
 "Another is to make it certain that tho association will have a dehnlte number of bales to sell so that it can make good contracts with the mills over a period of years. It is quite eVl- dent that the mills are not going 10 make contract with the association unless they are asured that the asso' citation will have certain dennlte amount of cotton to sell each year. Warehouses cannot be built and financed and built unless it is as .sured that the association will have cotton to handle for many years. Good salesmen cannot be hired unless they are assured of permanent jobs.
 "The necessity for an iron-clad contract is plain. The association must be thoroughly and efficiently It must be assured of continuing for enough years to maHe the proposition thoroughly worth while,
 "Some farmers have asked why they cannot sign up to sell only part of their crop through the association. The answer should be quite obvious. In order to succeed, cooperation must be full and complete. Why should any number have the privilege of selling half his crop through the association and the other half to speculator to the injury of the association?
 "While the contract offered by the Arkansas Cotton Growers Co-opera- tive Association is one that cannot be broken, it is one that no honest man need be afraid Of The five-year contract is not a mortgage on the farmers future When he signs it he has signed his declaration of inde- pendence He has aided movement that means comfort and happiness for his family and prosperity and power for Arkansas"

Sure cotton is shooting up. It's I short crop and no bluff at that, and it is being found out, The South cut the acreage and the Almighty, or providence, gave it another cut. Two bales will be worth more than four would have been with half the picking, ginning expense, etc. The South has got good feed crop and is not worry ing. Just keep that program up tor ten years and you can buy Wall Street and turn it into peanut stand. Cot ton is either going to be our servant and help us to some of the comforts of life. or it is going to continue to be our masters and we it's slaves. It's up to us. It's time the American farm CT was waking up and getting his mad up, and from the business like organ1- zations being put into working shape, he is evidently getting awake. You cant call strike vote like the unions do every few months, but you can sure slash the acreage and watch the smoke which amounts to the same thing,

There is an inclination on the part of the drilling operators and also on the part of the people here including dealers in leases to keep down a lease boom ahead of development, sulul sg sesr7I III Su!pe1l eAIloV to be desired, but where the game has been in some localities as to boost prices beyond their true speculative value it has been found that the reaction was not good for continued development. Let the lease boom fol- low development as it will in any event, but we must not lose sight of the fact that we are still trying to develop an oil field. We may prove it nd we may not We are not going to honk the horn and shout 'Oil Welr' until there is an oil well on the job and actually producing the stuff that put John D. on easy street.

PRICES OF RAW SILK
ADVANCE DOLLAR
Follow YOkohama's Upward
Trend-Buyers Show In
terest in Fabrics.

An increase of almost a dollar above
last weeks quotations in the local raw
silk market is noted In report issued
by II. l.. Gwalter & Co. Inc. This adj
vance is in keeping with the continued
upward trend of the Yokohama market,
which has also affected the Canton and
Shanghai sorts. As the advance con-
tlnues business is reported slowing
down and buyers are limiting their oper-
ations only to what their needs dictate
and confining themselves generally to
spot silk and nearby deliveries. In the
fabric end, however. the advance in the
raw silk prices has given a better tone
to the fabrics. with buyers evincing more
interest at higher prices.
The Milan market is reported higher
under renewed demand for European
consumption, but prices are above reach
OF the American buyers. The Yokohama
market has advanced steadily since the
beginning of the week and prices last
quoted were at 1850 yen for double extra
A and 1910 yen for Kansai No. /, with
holders expecting still higher rates.
Stocks on hand are given as 21,0O0
bales. against $4,000 bales a year ago.
The, Canton market has advanced about
so cents pound since last week under
renewed buying for American and
European account, which has brought
i4-16 size up to s7.47ls The Shanghai
market is exceptionally strong. Tsatlees
are scarce. while renewed demand for
Tussahs has advanced these sorts to
$4.17.

Foreign Competition and Prices.

Because of the so-called cheap foreign
competition and the non-existence of a
standard foreign value. large cutlery
manufacturer asserts that virtually every
factory Of this kind in the country has
been forced to close its doors. thereby
throwing thousands out of employment.
In proof of his contention this manufac-
turer cites figures to show that the cost
to the retailer of a foreign made razor
is S2.S2 dozen. while these same razors
made in America have been selling to
the trade for $lS dozen. It is also
contended that this same problem applies
to other merchandise. especially to dry
goods.
