COTTON MARKET
VERY QUIET J
Weekly Cotton Letter By Sa-?
vannah Cotton Factorage i
Company. - J
' 1
Early in the week weather reports t
wore sMirbt,'- * f,ter, and dispatches t
from abroad indicated unsatisfactory c
I tiauo co.iuino.!... The stock market
was easier, and money higher. This, C
together with other influences, had a >
bearish effect on cotton and the mar- t
ket lost a fjw joints. On Thurs- ^
day, the cotton market steadied and 1
advanced on reports of further de- f
terioration, and better trade condi- 11
tions. '
ri^ . . - -
me cotton market continues quiet, 11
but scarcely enough cotton is being v
offered to supply the demand, and
th6 basis has hardened, it is a well |
known fact that many buyers who
have visited Eastern markets re- (
cently have been compelled to re- ^
turn with only a small portion of the
goods they expected to purchase. .
Manufactured stocks are depleted (
and will have to be reolenished immediately.
This should create a
much better demand for raw cotton.
The 1921 crop will prove to be
several million bales less than that
of 1920; trade conditions are im .
proving slowly, and if the p*'es:?nt .
crop is not marketed too rapidly, ik l(
doubt higher prices will prevail b?
fore the new year. Every farmer
and buyer should hold a portion of
his cotton, cv mi if bo has to borrow
money to do so. Very little car y
be lost in doing this, and much ca< v
be gained, not only from an advance v
in the market but a'so from narrow- '
ing of price differences between
grades. Before the war. i.;cr dir y
lerences between grades were usual-11
ly l-8c to l-4c. On account of the U
unusual demand for high grades jc
during and after the war, differences!
widened to 2c to T?c pel" pound be ^
tween grades. However, these dif '
ferences have narrowed to l-2c to 1c *
and will probably continue to nar- '
row from time to time, making the *
grades below middling worth more ^
even though middling remains un- J,
changed. J.
As stated above, little can bo lost *
by holding cotton on this low market,
and there is a chance to make a
great deal.

er to locate and buy cattle for
South Carolina farmers. It is the
ntention of the Extension Service to
ontinue this plan and send a man
his year if prospective steer feeders
>f the state so desire.
The expenses of this specialist are
torne by the men for whom he buys.'
Phis had been at a great' saving to
he individual buyers for it really
neans that the expenses of buying
or each man are very low, someimes
running as low as 20 to 25
ents per animal purchased.
Since there is going to be in South
Carolina quite a quantity of feed this
'ear, and since feeder cattle appear
o be cheap, a number of requests
lave already been received from farners
asking that cattle be bought
or them this winter for feeding. The
ihinial husbandry division of the)
Extension Service would be glad to
tear promptly from any farmers
vho desire assistance in this respcet. I

If there is any foundation whatsoever

QIKSTIONS AM) ANSWERS

From Specialists' Correspondence
With Farmers.
What is the trouble with the peach
leaves I am enclosing??J. K. F.,
Fort Motto.
They arc infected with a bacterial
disease known as black spot. It
passes the winter on affected leaves
and twigs. The best control measures
are to rake and burn infected
leaves and to trim out and burn all
affccted twig;: before growth starts
in the spring. Fertilization with a
nitrogenous fertilizer has also been
found to be beneficial.
What about low grade tobacco and
tobacco trr.as fertilizer??W. O.
I)., Conway.
Analysis of this material shows it!
to contain from 2 to 2 1-2 percent of
nitrogen, from (> to 8 per cent potash,
and to 5 percent phosphoric
acid. The composition varies considerably.
This would make this material
worth as fertilizer perhaps
$20.00 a ton, provided the land to
which it is to l>e applied is greatly in
need of potash.
