Tho loyalty of southern hankers, cotton men, fertilizer com. panics and business men generally wh o have so generously contrihuted funds to thw association, j and the southern press which, I during the hard struggle of the j( farmers for the past six months ' 1 1 |( to whip tho fight they had under- ^ taken, has done such valiant and t effective public service without I price are other highly impoitant ? factors in making poasihiu ex- > istirg conditions. t All of these things coupled v with had seasons following in the j wake of a heavily reduced acreage and an enormous d'-mund for spot 1 cotton hy the spinners of tho world gives to cotton tho strong- * est statistical position it has oc- , copied in many ycare. If crop conditions do not rapidly improve the supply of raw cotton for eonsumption in 11)06 will fall short , of the demand and prices will go 1 f very much higher. Hut ahnor- 1 c mally high prices will he as dan- 1 f t * i ' - ..I gi-rr.us lor uie iutnro to the \ producer and spinning us abnor- ! ] mully low prices, and. wo must t endeavor to be conservative and ! consistent. ' ( It will bo the best part of wis- : t doni for all cotton producers to ' j discourage speculative interests ! ( that would tend to drive the price ! of spot cotton above 12 cents per pouml just as it is iniperutivo that j no farmer should ever again sell a pound of middling cotton under 10 cents per pound. Let us not enconruge the growth of the staple in foreign fields. Wo bold a complete monopoly of the cotton industry of the world up to i2 cents per pound and ut that price good profits to the producer can be realized. The recent advance in cotton is * inducing many farmers to sell their crop for delivery in October. This is bad policy and if generally indulged iu will deluge such t,,i vi|.i1 iiiuiio n in u u 111 (11 HUipiO on the market during that month as to break prices and prove injur,, ions to those who have to sell. Learn to market the crop slowly and do not go into speculative propositions. Ry co-operative aetion refuse to sell any cotton cents and so market ttle staple as to keep tho legitimate demand active and heartily at good prices. The Southern cotton association in ita meeting at Memphis, June 28, 1905, endorsed the plans tor immediate construction of ware-* houses under tho plans and specifications of the insurance companies and to be owned and operated by the local communities in which they are built. The rapid development of the cotton warehouse system is absolutely essential to tho best system of marketing cotton for high prices and this matter should be pushed at every cotton point in the South. It is now imperative that the farmers rally in each county and build up the membership of the association. Those counties which have not yet organized should get into lino at once.
