And, if it is cod tutional. it is not right to tell man what he must or must not with his own property. Hence, recall our prediction that the sess would be without benefit to farmer. Now that the people are doubt thoroughly convinced that it was within the range of the ability of general assembly to legislate mo into the pockets of the farmer, the farmer turn about to help h self.

This would consume abo lie three or four million or more bal of cotton, making a total of at lea e: ten or more million bales consunr le. in our country, instead of only s jh, or seven million bales as used now. ey, This, with a reduction of acreaf rn, would help materially to solve t jn, problem that now confronts us f 23. the future, for the more we consur "o- or limiio tlio irrpatpr will he the d ;n- mand for the surplus, which w lk- naturally create a good price at i times, and turn the millions into o in- own vaults that are now being se cer off each year for jute, or old sug ay. bag coverings, which is a disgra ;en in appearance, to say the least of is compared to a good cotton coverir :ed This properly put on the cotton ur- the ginners would make a neat pac nd age that would enhance the value re- it. by protecting it against all da: ate ages in the handling and transport ten tion, and would save the U/x 4-rv > A r.Ann/1c to ra thot ic rmt nni ,HC tu UV yuuuuo v?? v VUMV X' v w 'il- each bale, the price of which goes fill the treasuries of the foreign nu 20 kets because of the lack of such cc or. erings to protect it.

Why then should we co lat plain longer of the present crisi 'he Let us accept the situation as a ble the ing in disguise: andavail ourselves the opportunities that lie before i en- to correct in the future the evil cc on- sequences of the past, by eliminati in the jute coverings, and consume mc aid of our own great product into t :en various coverings mentioned, a de- store in our own vaults the mu ble needed millions of dollars that t the now being turned into other vaul the because of the lack of it.

This would make o ' great product more inviting to ; markets, honre and foreign, and an able the producer* to enjoy son thing more than simply the cost grg production, and help him to ri rl._ above the wrecked and ruined cc dition that has been his misfortune lay ng have to accept under the present < isting circumstances, caused, to a c? tain degree, by the lack of self pi ' tection which is considered the fii en , law of nature, but somehow t )rs farmer has managed to reverse tl law, making it last, and he is a sla fn all oimnlv hv Iptrini? pvprv foi >u- ?

THK COTTON* MAKKKT SITUATION' ^ es Cheaper to Hold Cotton Than to firow Jt?Production Must l?e Heduced. .te Xo material change in the cotton g. market can be reported for the past in week. As expected, there was some ur improvement in demand as buyers entered the market to fill their Octog> ber commitments. This resulted in er a check to the declining tendency of un the market, after the Savannah quout tation had reached 7 cents for good es middling. A recovery of 1-4 cent lSt ensued, but the efforts of the trade ed in this section of the belt have been nx Put to naught by the persistent under-selling carried on in Texas. While rg, me quotation lur imuuuug m oaiauhe nah was 6 3-4, the Dallas quotation qj* was 6 1-8. ne The course of the Texas sellers has [e. been the subject of a good deal of ill criticism on the part of the general ail trade. It is of course not possible for ur any one section to maintain the price nt as long as another section continues ar to offer at progressively lower figce ures. Texas is the State which alit, ways makes the greatest splutter ,g. about standing up for a fair price, by and then proceeds to cut the ground b- from under the feet of those who are 0f really trying to make a firm stand. m. And it seems that the Texas crop is ia. proving considerably larger than was 20 believed possible. Just as soon as on Texas starts this competitive selling to auction, buyers withdraw, for they ir_ must be expected to do the best pos)V sible. One buyer cannot afford to ;0, pay a higher price than other buyers to are paying. If we intend to make ? anv stand at all. it is clear er .. ... - - , ?r. that we must stop trying to overte, crowd a cautious market. ? he Exports are picking up a little and ,re Europe is wanting cotton. Consumption1 has not by any means been en?se tirely "hecked by the war, but the of rate is disappointing even in Araerit0 ca. Everybody was certain that la- Ameiican takings would increase al- substantially, in order to supply the di- anticipated extra demand for goods. E m. but so far this season we have not a is? used as much as last year. .Mills are g ss. extremely pessimistic. Of course, all I of the stocks of cotton and goods which 5 as, they were carrying when the war y )n_ broke out represented the old values. 8 ng .Manufacturers have had to come to B )re the lower level of cotton prices and 8 he so these old stocks involve an enor- fl nd nious loss. Xaturallv mills have 9 -v. nmnh trnnhlp in meetine their own E ire obligations under these circumts, stances, and consequently find it very iat difficult if not impossible to get nd money with which to stock up with he low priced cotton. This explains why ng spinners show so much apparent backch wardness in laying in heavy supplies, ild The motto of the farmer this year ng must be, "It is cheaper to hold cotiat ton at present prices than it is to nd to grow it,"?and the sensible farmly> er will act along this line. It is a iat statistical conclusion that the world ds will not want over 5,000,000 bales ur next year at the outside, and may ail be able to get on with half that quan(D tity. There is no possible doubt that ie_ the actual production will be very 0f much larger, so that another year of ise burdensome surplus may be regard,n ed as inevitable. Therefore, every to acre that is put in cotton this year ?x- will be in the face of the certainty 5r_ of a dead loss. It is far better to o- put in something else this coming st spring, even if the expected results he are relatively small, lis Then there are some other very ve important considerations. It is only m by cutting out cotton the coming sea)W son that we can stand any chance of 30, getting anything worth while for the )t_ present one. It is also the only way ,e_ to prevent still worse conditions next ad fall. And, finally, there is every rea,a_ son for expecting a further general at advance in the price of foodstuffs. Altogether the position is so plain )Sf that there is no room for hesitation ;r> or indecision.?W. T. Williams, in ho Progressive Farmer. gh GROWING CHILDREN.
