HOLD SPOT COTTON.
President Harris, of the Farmer?'
l iiion Issues u (Circular.
Remember, farmers, that it all de
pends on you to make the Bpot cot
ton that is now in your hands bring
the minimum price-fifteen cents. I
know the speculators will try to
scare you and endeavor to get you
to sell. Now, let us see If this 1B
true. I met a farmer to-day who
told me that a buyer drove out to
see him and tried to get him to sell
his cotton, stating to this farmer that
in an adjoining county he bad bought
400 bales from the farmers. The
buyer told him he had better sell, as
lt was going lower; that new cotton
was coming in and that lt. would soon
be selling at eight cents. Now, far
mers, do not be "bluffed" by such
falsehoods. The trouble with that
buyer ls just this-he ls buying for
some broker who has contracts, on
which deliveries are due, and he ls
being called on to fill them. Gen
tlemen, make him pay your price
before he gets your cotton. lt ls
yours and you have the right to de
mand its value, and your demands
are not too much. Fifteen cents ls
the price and if the old crop ls held
by thp farmers it will come. They
might try to scare you with the new
crop, but let us see if it is not wis
dom to hold.
The new cotton crop cannot be
spun by itself until sixty days after
lt Is ginned and packed and there ls
not enough old cotton for the mill
consumption, so the mills have to
mix two bales of old cotton with one
bale of new cotton before they can
spin it to advantage.
Why did this drop In price occur
In the last fifteen days? Has the
price of the manufactured goods
fallen off and trade conditions in
worse shape? No; Home weak-kneed
farmer got scarod, and when the
price went up to twelve cents they
just turned loose enough to feed
the spinners for twenty days, and
the speculators said we will drop I1
down and scare them with the nev
crop. Now, don't be frightened. Re
member last year there was a pre
mium paid for old cotton in Septem
ber. Why was this? Because the
consumers had to have it to mix with
the crop before lt could be spun.
Now ns to the condition of the
growing crop. Our National Presi
dent, Hon. C. S. Barrett, called a
meeting of the State Presidents to
meet him and the National Execu
tive Committee in Memphis, Tenn.,
on the 18th Instant, and all of the
cotton growing States were repre
sented there, with two exceptions
North Carolina and Florida. We
got a true and correct report of the
conditions existing In all of the
States. The complaint was that
there had been loo much rain and
the cotton crop had not been well
worked, and was very uneven. The
plant was growing too much weed
and wns not fruiting well. The above
is a true statement of facts concern
ing the growing crop. The next
forty days is the most critical period
for the crop. The weather will have
to be perfect for the balance of the
season If we duplicate our 1907 crop.
1 saw a statement in to-day's paper
that Texas had sold all of her old
crop that was being held. This is
only another bluff to scare you. Just
remember that "futures" cannot be
spun Into goods, and our last y ?. r's
crop was 4,000,000 bales short, so
take a firmer frlv on your spots and
victory is yov.rs. J. B. Harris,
President S. C. Farmers' Union.
