Accomplished in Two Years *
?Review of the Present 1
Cotton Situation.

The following statement, signed j
by President .Jordan, ol the c
Soul hern Cot ton Association, and
presidents of the several stale 8
divisions, was issued this week: 8
The value ot the Southern
Cotton Association to the cotton c
planters of the South is apparent ^
from the following statement:
In the two years ending Sep
tember 1, 1906, two crops ?>f c >tton,
aggregating pnct'cally 2f>,
000,000 baits, will have been ^
marketed at an average price to (]
bout i.t ni producers of nearly
10* cents per pound. (]
In tlie two years ending Sep- i
teraber 1, 1808, 22,500,000 bales 0
of cotton were produced and K
marketed at an average price of j
61 cents.
This increase in price iR an n
aggregate of about $550,000,000, e
and is very largely the work of C
the Southern Cotton Association. 1
in comparison with such an d
achievement thecosl of maintain- c
ing its organization is but in fin- d
itesitnal, and it enters upon-the p
coming cotton season with tho a
greatest confidence in the ulti- h
mate realization of its purpose, a
namely: fair pi ices for the pro tl
duct of Southern labor; the avoi
dance of over production of col- S
ton ; and the protection 'of 'lie a
South in its G"d-given privilege p
of furnishing the world with the c
cheapest clothing ever known at k
prices which will repay the S
Southern fanners for their ardu o
ous toil and tho trained intelli- t<
genco employed in producing it. b
Tho Southern (Jotton Associa tl
tion lias made its mistakes and *1
has had its enemies to fight.? c
The mislalcs have not, however, 0
been imourt.int, as hIiowii l>v i lie 1
' . , ' t'
result, and its enemies have lor G
Hie most part admit ted its power (4
and have been forced ultimately t'
to align themselves with its pur !i
poses.

bare ol cot I on. The visible sup
ply will be the smallest on record.
The 25 000,000 hales of cotton
with which the South has slip*|j;'
plied civili/. ?ti<>n during the past I
'wo years are all consumed. The
United Sta'es Depart nn*nt ol Ak- h
riculture estimates that ii will S
require -12,000,000 hales of cotton '
to adequately clef he the world's "
population, and the progress ol j
civilization is rapidly advancing y
the world's population to a point
at which it will require to ho adequately
clothed. ?
Whatever the size ol the coin- d
ing cotton crop, there is no ream "
on t\ hy ii iiould he sohi at. any i!'

price obtained lor the last crop,'^

Interested and soil constituted
authorities have ot lute been en- j
deavoring to Ptanipede Southern ?
liolch ra and producers ol cotton
into the belief that the coming
crop watf 1 kely to he an nbnoi ']
mally large one, produced Irom a
Etn acreage very much iu oxcess
>f any previously planted. This
disposition seetus to have penerated
even into the Crop Esti- J
mating Board of the United
Mates Government, who apparjntly
have not as yet lully
nnancipated ihenrtselves from 1
J
lie maladroit influences which
'exulted in the scandal which!
l?o efforts of the Southern Cot- j p
on Association last year dis-. fr
ilosed. e
That tho cotton crop for tlie fi
eason of 1906 7 is likely to be (J
uperabundant, or ? von a large h
ne, the Southern Cotton As&o- r<
iation does not believe. lis re?orts

The published -opinion of 150 "
lembers of the New York, Livc<
rpool and Sou1 hern Col Ion Ex- jc
liangea is that a crop of about
1,000,000 bales will be worth p
uring the coming season 13.37 si
ents per pound, and those pro s<
ucers who part with their T
roduct for lesa than tl>is figure w
re needlessly curtailing the B(
ard-earned profits of their toil ^
nd depreciating the value ol ^
heir fellow-producers' crop.
It is not the purpose of the t
duthern Cotton Association to
dvance cotton to an exorbitant ^
rice, nor one not justilied by
onditions. It is its purpose to n
