Frotwoll liar. re ceived a letter from Mr. John ?>. Thompson of Uirmlngham and Mont gomery, Ala., in which he ashs that n meeting of tho cotton growers ol this state meet and perfect some kind of organization that will assist them till? fall in creating a helter market for their cotton. Mr. Thompson has studied conditions very closely and feels Hint a movement of tills kind would be of great benefit lo the col ton producers. Mr. Thompson has had a inciting called in the state of Alabama for the purpose of perfecting a "Fanner's State Organisation," and the tail a, sent out ls as follows aid speaks for itself. To lh<. Cotton Growers of Alabama: Lest we approach tho marketing soason of 1915 without some organiza tion looking to the creation of a sen timent for tile holding of our 191 d crop until the English embargo is raised, we deem lt important for the farmers of Alabama to come tog-other in the hall of the House of Represen tatives nt the State Capitol, lu thc city of Montgomery, at noon on Au gust Kith, and to remain in session for two days I her. after, the 17th, and 1 Stn for the purpose of perfecting a Farm er's State Organization. Never In the history of agriculture of thc Soutli hus it been so important as now to bind ourselves tog Hhor for the purpose of mutual helpfulness "In unity there is strength," aad if wo can perfect a proper organization In Alabama, it will be followed by other States; and in a little while we will have an organization of the farmers of the cotton belt tiiat will bring about results which will mean many millions of dollars to the farm ers of thc South in handling our cot ton, colton BIVII and other crops, in creating better marketing facilities and in calling attention of State and federal law making bodies to such lo cal requirements as will be necessary to protect the highest and best inter ests of the cotton grower. Last year several million bales of cotton were marketed beforo lt was known what to do or which way to turn. The cot ton was thrown on the market in a panicky way and much of it was sold for less than Eic per pound, about one half the cost of production, thereby bankrupting many thousands of large and Biuall fnrmers allko. If wo farmers will do our duty to ourselves in helping to cripple the bears by withholding our surplu cot ton from the New Knglnnd and Eng lish splnnorH until they are willing at IcaBt to pay us tho cost of production, we will protect thereby ourselves, our families, our creditors and ihn high est Interests of tho Sou:li. It i j in cumbent upon us to get busy at one*;. Tho bears claim an accumulation in tho visible supply pf 'abot 2,590.000 ba los moro than normal; an accuinu l.itton In producers' hands of about 1, 000,000 bales of last year's cn n un marketed; absence of skinners' rto mnnd for forward shipment; .lt ?linc of cotton manufac.tu'ing in t" . n <y and Austria, duo to InsntOcieM su'? plles.of raw materials and t ,r of the shutting off of al1 cspo**: . It may be remarked that t io \v.t three arguments were r.is:? mudo when last year's crop hogan to be marketed and while lt v/as freely pre dicted that less than :?.000,000 bales would bo exnorted during the cotton year ending August 31st. 10.15, tho Ogures at hand indicate that there will be an excess of 8,500.000 bales; aid that whilo it was assorted that takings by millo could not possibly exceed 9.000,000 bales, tho total will reach 13.000.000 bales. Attention is called to tho fact that thc high price of cotton now prevail ing In Germany and Russia, about 30 cents per pound, will attract cotton to those countries in spite of apparent ly Inrurmountnblo obstacles; just aa high prices paid for cotton abroa i during the civil war mad? blockade running a steady business. . There scema to bo no question that ample funds can bo obtained lo finance. In a normal way, a much larger volume of cotton than was taken caro of last year; and that even lt Germany and Austria-Hungary should bo forced to suspend .cotton manufacturing entire ly, statistics show that tho mills of tho United States, Great Britain. Spain, 7*.nly. Japan, China and India have ?mlndlcs sufficient tn absorb every hilo of co'ion that la likely to be grown. There has been a reduction of 5, 881,000 acres in America, and if thc lint secured per acre le baaed on thc mst ten year average. 182 lbs., it will bo seen that Ute acreage planted to cotton this year. 31.K35.000 acres, will produce 11.478,740 bales; and Egypt and India have also made radical re ductions In cottor. acreage. It lt possible that the world's cotton crop, based on an average yield per acre, will be about 5,000,000 hales less than last year. This does not take into account the additional shortage that may be occasioned by the SO per cent reduction In the 0/<e of fertilizers, and the Inferior plant fr-od nought in tho {fertilizers would reduce it another 15 pct cent, thereby reducing the cotton crop ?I hast 20 ncr tout moro than the estimate above. To be exact, thu visible supply of cotton at the pres nt moment is 3, 810.094 bales. This is tho carry over from tho greatest crop on record, but tbo carry over from the previous crop, a much BUialler one, waa 2, 014,710. The particular thing we desire to call attention to is that the carry over from thc previous crop to last year was 2,014,71? bulos; added to 17, 000,000 make? a total of 10,014,716 bales. Tlio carry over Lom this year is 3,810.694 balea, added io th . govern ment estimate of 11,478,740 bales makes a total of I."?,298,731, a differ ence of 3,724,981 bales less for uu to handle this year than last year. lt ls n statistical fae:, as shown by tho Department of Commerce &? Labor that on July lat. this year, as com pared with .July 1st. last year, all foreign countries, except langland, have less cotton goods and cotton on hand, amounting to several million of bales loss than they had last year. Conclusions must to drawn that while lt has boen moro diflicult to ship cotton than before the war. tho fact remains that there has been a largely increased demand for thc staple. Germany alone ?"5 using 'J,U00 bales of cotton per day for the manu facture of munitions of war. so If this country can bold the 3,810,094 bale? now on bal id* with a largo percentage of the 1915 crop for a few months, wo will see the largest price obtained next spring that has been experienced since tho civil war. Wo, therefore, urge thc farmers of every county and precinct In Alabama to send representatives to meet with us on August lOtli. at thc time and place mentioned above, and wc feel that much good will result from the meeting. Hon. W. P. G. Harding, from whom wo quote above, Senator Hoke Smith, and one or two other national loaders who have, from tho beginning of our present troubles, s'.iown a deep interest in thc welfare ol tho farmer, will be invited to address us on thc second day of our mooting, after un organization has been perfected. Arrangements will be made with tho railroads for reduced ratea from all pointe in Alabama. IMPORTANT MEETING TO BE JO TUESDAY MEMBERS OF AD CLUB ARE ASKED TO BE PRES SENT CALLED j FOR 11:30 C. A.
