FAK.HEIxS INNJN ADDRESS ON COTTON SITUATION ^ > J The following address has been is - * -L J sued to tne iarmerc, mercnanis anu bankers: Beginning with last September, the South, with dire disaster, threatening the nation's greatest money crop, has * < been engaged in one of the greatest economic struggles in her history. The Jast year ended with a. commercial "victory that perhaps saved millions of dollars to the growers of cotton and to those whose business interests are absolutely dependent upon cotton and a fair price for that.commodity. The South is now facing another cotton crop year and already the influences that have heretofore been at play, at will, to manipulate the mar keting of this commodity, which brings back from Europe to this coun' ' try $500,000 annually, and upon which the stability of American finance and v * the balance of the world's trade in favor of the nation depend, are again at work, as is evidenced by the depression of the prices of cotton to the extent of $10 per bale in the last ten days. The real fight for proper marketing and greater stability of price must > now be fought, and it rests wun tne i producing, banking and commercial .^interests of the South to push that |" fight upon sound economic lines based upon business pfinciples applicable to r changing international commercial relations. The time for decisive and concerted action has arrived. It has occurred to the undersigned that no more appropriate day for the taking of such action throughout the communities of the cotton belt States could be selected for the purpose than Monday, September 2, which is Labor day. It is eminently proper that upon this day, which is a national and State holiday, those of our people who labor in the fields to create the wealth of the country, should meet with,those - * i - _i whose business interests are aepena( ent upon this particular product oi the soil, and determine upon a fixed policy in the matter of marketing oi the 1912 cotton crop. We unhesitatingly and most earnestly recommend i that this policy be the slow and gradual marketing of the crop. We mos1 earnestly call upon every oanner ic ' ^ the South, and particularly in this State, to make such financial arrangements that will enable the banks tc render to the producer such aid as will make it possible for him to avoid . the placing of all his cotton upon the market at one time in the early fall enabling him instead to gradually market it to the best advantage. We would call the attention of the bankers and business men who are interested, in the banks to the fact thai even if the banks did not get one - cent., of profit for advances to farm ers for. this purpose on cotton, the | v * increased volume of business woulc more than recompense them. > We wish to take this occasion tc commend those banks in this anc oth^r States which last season, secured the necessary money to loan tc the farmers, and especially do we commend those banks and bankers, whict thi<? season, have come forward anc announced similar arrangements. Other Calls Treed. We most earnestly call upon the commissioners of agriculture of the ^everal States of the cotton belt anc the presidents of the several State Far. mers' unions to issue calls similar tc this one for meetings on Septembei 2, to the farmers, merchants anc "bankers of their respective States, foi the execution of the purpose outlinec above. Realizing the impending danger anc onslaught that is being made upon th< markets by the manipulating forces we have after most careful deliberation, determined to issue this mosi * .earnest call, which we desire to hi Understood as directed to each indiVv vidual farmer, each merchant anc each banker to assemble at Sucf: meetings as are suggested on Laboi ^ Day and give this matter the mosi careful and thoughtful consideration > We wish all to bear in* mind thai last year though the Farmers' unior 1 * began in August, it was impossible tc t secure the cooperation we are no^ 3|eking. This year with that experience as a guide the work was begur as early as June. Could we have hac earnest and active cooperation las season such as we are now asxing anc :? ? ?i e-jnnnnnnn ^ securing, an duuiuuuai <piv,vw,vw, a. least, would have been saved to th* farmers of South Carolina alone, anc that, too, without any other State working on the same line. s ? The Thoughtless Farmer. r In conclusion we wish to impress ar*"5 forcibly as we know how upon th< . producers the fact that the greatesi ally that the speculative element whc "ttould hammer down the price of cotton relies upon, is the thoughtless * JHSbuhSLi , farmer, who without regard to his brother producer's welfare, unloads ail of his cotton upon the market at inopportune and ill-advised moments. J We wish further, on the other hand, to impress upon the bankers and merchants of the South that it is not only ithe securing of the necessary money I that should be their mission, but that ; their most hearty and earnest coop! pratinn should .hp extended?that thev _ ; should realize that the foundations of j their success rests upon cotton, and | that if cotton is marketed in accordi anc? with the policy outlined, then ! and then only, will the circulating medium in the Southern States b<r materially increased; in other words, unjless this policy be pursued we will experience what we have already ex| perienced a number of tim^.s, the j marketing of a large crop of good quality at several millions of dollars ;less to the South than sucq crops iwould have brought con 1*1 tney iip.v ! been sent to market gradually. I We realize, for we have had reason ito fully appreciate the services ren; , dered in the past, that 110 matter what the farmer, the merchant and the banker may do, nothing can bu accomplished in this vital undert?i':r;g without the fullest and trees" coop;eration of the press of the South. That cooperation we are proud to say hus ! never failed. We ^0 not belicvo it will i !fail now; indeed, wp kno.v it will not. CJ. U.
