The campaign for better prices for the South's cotton crop, which was il aug?rate ! Ill Columbia last week, has been very appropriately calivil "The Whirlwind Campaign." Within an hour after the ?node of prod dare had been aureed upon, the wires were busy with messages lo every Ciovernor ol' Hie cotton States, lo every president and secretary of State Farmers' Union over the South. They were advised of the plan adopt ed, and ill every case tho plan has met with hearty approval. One very important part of that plan is the pledging ol' individual cotton growers to bold their cotton for higher prices. Thirteen cents is the price named in the pledge, and that is within one-half ?'eui per pound of the price that we have a. aid some of the cotton manufactu r?is say that they would like to see agreed upon as a standard price for cotton under present conditions. Twelve and one-half cents, it is bulli by conserv?tI\e manufacturers, wc ire told, is a pi iee I hat can he paul b> manufacturers, who could operate it a fair margin of pr j tit at that fig ure, provided they could know that that price would prevail. The u ti rea sonable tluct nat ions ai" as much a source of worry to the mills as they are lo thu '.'rower. We are not prepared lo say thal it would have been better bad I he tai m?is agreed to hold for 12 V? cent.;. That doos liol euler into the ques vlirectly Interested in that phase of thc question. The way to settle that is for each one to go up like a tuan and pledgo himself to hold all tho cotton he can, regardless of what his neighbor is ?olng lo do. Settle your own score first, and (hen interest yourself in your neighbor. 'Chat is one serious draw-back to the Sou I hern farmer ii his efforts to protect himself. Ho wants acreage decreased, bul he wants bis neigh' bor to decrease first, ll-- wants cotton held, bul "my neighbor" must hold first. When it conies to t ho real light. iv< ry Southern farmer ls "from Mis sou ii," and ho has gol to bc shown before he will believe anything, ami s 011 I hen he doubts. These pledges thal have been igreed upon have been i poived by Clerk of Court .lohn I?'. Craig, ami uro awaiting tho signatures of thc cotton planters of Oronce. There ls nothing un reasonable in them to sien simply a statement (hal each signer will hold so many bales of cotton for l cents per pound, until September 1st. r.u j, if necessary, and there is another very lin porta nt item in ll, loo. to thc effect that he will plant not exceeding UO per cenl Of his aialile land ill cotton for the 1 '.' ' - < rop. No tanner ought to plant E?n> more than thal, and il would be a greal deal helier for him it ho lid not plain that much.
