r ' I I?_ The Work of the Mootbern Cotton A*, sociatton. (Published by request of Mr. I. A. Keller, President Cotton Associatiou of Abbeville County. The value of the Southern Cotton Association to the cotton planters of the South is apparent from the following statement: In the two years ending September 1st, 1906, two crops of coiton, aggregating practically ?>,000,000 bales, will have been marketed at an average to Southern producers of nearly 10 1-ceuts per pound. * In the two years ending September 1st, 1898, 22,500,000 baits of cotton bales of cotton were produced and and marketed at an average price of G 1-8 cento. This increase in price is an aggregate of about $550,000,000, and is very largely the work of the Southern Cotton Association. In comparison with such an achievement tbe cost of maintaining its organization is but infintesimal, and it enters upon the coming cotton season with the greatest confidence in tbe ultimate realization of y its purpose, namely: fair prices for the product of Southern Labor; tbe avoidance of over-production ofcotton; and the protection of the South in ita God-given privilege of furnishing the world with the cheapest clothing ever known at prices which will repay tbe Southern farmers for their arduous toil and the trained intelligence employed in producing it. The Southern Cotton Association has made its mistakes and has had its enemies to fight. Tbe mistakes have not, however, been important, as shown by the result, and us enemies have for the most part admitted its power and have been forced ultimately to align themselves with it* purposes. The 1st of September, 1906, will find the world absolutely bare of col ton. The visible supply will be tne I smallest on record. The 25,0UU,UU0 bales of eotton with which the South has supplied civilization during the past two years are all consumed. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that it will require 42,000^000 bales of cotton to adequately clothe the world's population, and the civilization is rapidly progress of "Nworld's population to a advancing the point it will require to be adequately at which clothed. Whatever the size of the coming cotton c*op, there is no reason why it should be sold at anything less man the average price obtained for tbe last orop, though the etlorta 01 me oumuern Cotton Association, namely: 11 3-4 cents and 12 cents a pound, lntereatedand self-constituted authorities have ofJate beefa endeavoring to stampede Southern holders and producers ot cotton into the belief that the coming crop was likely to be an abnormally ; large one, produced from an acreage very much in excess of any previously planted. This disposition seems to have penetrated even' into tbe Crop Estimating Board of the United States Government, who apparently have not as yet fully emancipated themselves from the maladroit influences' , which resulted in the scandal whtah t.h? pffnpfa nf fh? Southern Cotton Association last year disclosed. That the cotton crop of 1906-7 is like ** ly to be superabundant, or even a large one the Southern Cotton Asso elation does not believe. Its reports from its thousands of members and' correspondents throughout the entire cotto belt indicate that the increat-e in acreage over last year is only 2.52 per cent., and the scarcity of labor; the lateness of development; the excessive rains in many sections and drought in the region west of the Mississippi Valley foreshadow anything bat a full yield for the season commencing September 1st next. The published opinion of 150 memr bers of the New York, Liverpool and Southern Cotton Exchanges is that K a crop of about 11,000,000 bales will be worth during the coming season 13.37 Ivcuia jmr puuuu, aiiu iuubc prouuucic who part with their product for less than this figure are needlessly curtailing the hard-earned profits of their toil aDd depreciating the value of their ' jj, fellow producers' crop. Is it not the purpose of the Fouthern Cotton Assaciation to advance cotton to aD exorbitant price, Dor one not .. justified by conditions. It is its purljose to keep its constituency in the South fully informed as to the outlook and at the end that it may have the best possible information upon this > subject, for the purpose of more intelligently reaching a correct conclusion . and to be accurately informed as to conditions at the Association meeting to be held at Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. 5th, 1906, it requests every Southern cotton planter to whose eye this may ' come to fill out at once, detach the accompanying blank and enclose ic in an envelop and ,mail to The Southern Cotton Association, Atlanta, Ga. p' E.
