The farmers certainly have
much toencourage them in their
fight against the hears for better
prices for their co ton. Prices
have materially adv-uiced during
the last few days, reaching
10i cents on this market yesteidav.
The farmers can now s e
what they can accomplish by
standing by their association.
Their only danger now is in
"turning loose" too soon. If!
sales become general again the I
price is liable to go backward.
