-PWSNTY OP COURAGE AND i" L. ; v . PATIENCE "Within a>few days the new cotton crop will be moved over a large part ?T the belt. We eat and breathe cotton. It is still the controlling master in our agricultural and economic life. We are not experts on estimating crop*. upon the cost of production and on other factors that enter the ?r Cotton problem. We only know there is a large number of bales of the old crop on band. Another crop is coming on. Money Is fairly tight. So the stage is set for a keen duel between the producers and the manufacturers of cotton. We know that if the entire cotton crop had been sold at Quoted prices the south would not have made a large amount of money. We know that the present crop cost more moni *ey than any other grown during the lust fifty years. , We Also know that the price' that Manufactured cotton goods were sold aad are being sold that the raw cotton was th<* cheapest element in their production. " " iii'o f?dl that thev I AUD UJ?U utnvvui . w Jure the whip handle. They are gOlng to inaiat upon new conditions of sale oiid they are going to hold out juati am long as they can in an effort to | reduce the prices. The transportation situation is tad and money rates are high, but if transportation is bad for us it is bad to the manufacturer, if money rates sure high to us they are also high to lio. . We will not be able to get along) unlaws we sell our cotton. The manufacturer must close his mill unless ta buys cotton. We may get into a state of freeze oat. We <^o not anticipate a long tremendous struggle, but we do want ?ur own cotton growers to make up Chair minds that they are golng^to resist every effort to have them dispose, of their cotton at a price lower than* .the cost of production and in this fight the big man and the little man .have a common interest. * If cotton is dumped upon the market at a great rate it will make a difficult situation for producers. If there Ja any sort of a disposition to weaken, ?w? other side will be encouraged to "hold out Until the weakening ones stampede. This brings us down to a few suggestiocs. Our planters should get such covering as they can to prevent their cotton from deterioration, if they .hold it a while. Every plantation ought to have a large or small warehouse. Every little fellow should put his cotton under the shed next to the stable, in the stable loft or in part of the cotton <crib. If there is a good demand and a <air price for seed It should be freely .sold so as to help the producer sustain himself. A little patience and plenty of courtage on the part of the southern growon. of cotton ^rill enable them to get a fair price for It this fall, and by fhir price we mean about the figures that ruled last fall, hut there must bt some co-operation and generally a polling together. Wo cannot get anywhere by cursing out the manufacturers of the east aad the big bankers. There is no politics whatever in the mmtter. All the statesmen under thei .ana could not add a dollar to the pric9 of a bale at cotton, though they could 4o things that would reduce the price. It Ja purely a business problem in ' which the producer, the merchant, the factor, the banker, and all the rest of us down here have a common interest, and )f we keep in touch with one another we can secure, through our efforts, a living return, and that ie all we waht and all that anybody has a right to expect. P. S.?In the meantime, our people should give most serious attention to the matter of building waret houses of the style suggested by the Cotton Warehouse Construction Department of the United States Departjnent of Agriculture. It is remarkable how cheaply these warehouses can' be built, even in these times of high prices. If any one is interested to the' point of bulding a warehouse to hold Anything from 50 "to 2,000 bales of cotton, let him at once write R. L. Newt.au.
