TO ASSIST FARMERS IN
MARKETING COTTON
CROP
BIG MOVEMENT
Ha? Been Launched in Alabama
and Hoped That Same Will
Bc Done Here.
Mr. Joseph J. 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.
