From great L - Mr. Welib
of Intnan A Company, Show
How South May Avert a
Tunic.
With tho sensational jun.pii
and slumping of tho cotton mar
et, farmers are in tho air, a
while they are refusing to sell
prevailing ju ices there is no dirt
ntiin ition t hut the plan to rode
the acreage will be put into etFt
in all of tho producing Stub
Many plans have been suggeste
Some tools over iu Georgia ha
undertaken to burn a part of t
orop, but they did not even scor
themselves by the littie bonfire.
C. S. Webb, manager for t
Southern mills in the l'icdmo
section f< r I man vM. Compun
makes the sensible suggestion
holding a purt of this year's cn
aud reducing the acreage no
spring oue-fortli. Much of tl
amount hel 1 u dav will have to '
tin iwu on the market, but the
will be no use to hold and ph
big crops for the coming yea
Tho effect of that would botodri
the present price down to u low
figure, with no hope of bett
prices f< r tho future crop.
In specking of ?ho outlook, M
Webb ^ i d:
"If farmer.-* will hold n millu
to a million and a half bales
this crop ami will reduce the
acreage i cxt year one-fourth tin
should get at least >s to 9 cents f<
the retuaindcr of this crop ai
probably more than that for ne
year's er m . 1 think the mill
factories and bankers would bew
ing t i store cotton for the farme
anil advance the in, say six cents
pound on cotton stored shall 1
sold. 1 do not think it a \vi
idea for the farmers and mere
1 1
CftU to ITli \J lltl\U L IUUU Ull 1114 11 V 4 LIU
to try to hold all of it, as th
would be imi ossible, but it in n
impossible for them to hold fro
a million to a million nud a hi;
bale*.
"If the farmers of the Sou
plant as much cotton as they d
last year they will not recei
over live cents a pound for the r
mninder of this crop and probab
lower than that for next year
crop.
"In 18h;> the south raised
crop of eleven and one-four
million bales and we had a millii
bales surplus at that time wbi<
gave us over twelve and on<
fourih million bales. The tirst i
September, lt)04, the world w
practically bare of cotton. \N
had very little surplus on hum
Now admit that this crop will I
twelve and one-fourth millu
bales. The world will take ov<
eleven million bales of our cotloi
Say the farmers reduce the acrt
age next year one-forth, or enouj,
to raise about ten million bale
If they do tins i do not see ui
reason why they should not r
ceivo from 0 to 1" cents for tl
remainder of this crap and ne
year h crop. in l s\'t> good outt(
sold ua low as 5 cents, but yc
must rcmombor thut everythii
else was cheaper. Farmers cou
afford to raiso cotton that yei
two cents a pound cheaper thi
they can now. Meat was tr
cents a pound; flour three i
three and a half dollars a barrc
and everything else lower In pr
portion. No v meat is 8 to 1
cents a pound and flour five 1
seven dolled a barrel and ever
' < mgncr in proportio
^J^arefore, 1 think tho wine farn
or will reduce bi3 cotton acreaj
and get a better price for the e<
ton ho has on hand now and I
next year's crop.
*It would pay tho farmers w
arc alilo b> bu> cotton at bis cents* Si
and reduce their acreage one-half,
rimt ivou.d injure them h good
price for the cotton thoy buy at
i s six cents and also next year's crop, ia
"The only solution I see is to Si
hold a part of this crop and reduce ci
acreage at least one-fourth et
