SOUTH CABOLOVA r i-*-. i rS" ' l* Barnwell Banker Suggests Plan for Boosting Prices Monday afternoon, a representa tive of The People-Sentinel inter viewed a local hanker—a man of sound common sense a nd good business judg ment (the two usually go hand-in- hand)—in reference t othe proposed plan of Texas bankers to raist a fund of $100,000,000 for the purpose of retiring a million bales of cotton from the market. Questioned as to his opinion of the plan, the banker replied: “Pine! But it doesn't go far enough. It is quite true that a mil lion b^les would be removed from the channels of trade fbr the time being, but what of the future? The mill owners .and cotton future speculators know ttat the million bales are still in existence, to be placed on the mar ket at a later date. “Now, then, here is my idea: ; As 1 see it, the bankers of the South have the situation in their own hands. Sup pose each of the two banks in Barn well agreed to take 500 bales off the market and every bank in every town and city in the South agreed to take as many more or less as their re sources will permit. Some two to three millior.s bales will be retired. To all intents and purposes, instead of a prospective sixteen-million bale crop, we have for the time being only thirteen-million bales. ^The immed iate effect would be to enhance greatly the value of those thirteen million bales that are available. Provided— “The banks and bankers take effec tive steps to reduce the ebtton acre age next year to, say, 35,000,000 acres. We might get temporary relief by re tiring a million, or two or three mil lion bales, but what we wart is per manent prosperity. In iny opinion, the hanks can control the' situation. “If and when they have retired the necessary numl>er of hal«^ to insure a profitable price, next year, when John Smith comes into thd) hank to make arrangements for th$ eomirg crop, we can say: ‘All tight, Mr. Smith, We’ll be glad Jo help you How many acres of cotton did you cultivate in lP2fl? Thirty? Very wel, under our present plan we can finaice only 20 acres. As you know, this hank has retired 500 bales from the market in an effort to get a cent price for the farmer and we pect the farmer to help us help him self. The only way we can hope to get cost plus a reasonable profit from the cotton still unmarketed nrd for that to !>e made this year is to see that there is a drastic cut in acreage. Wo have a pledge here, which you will subscribe to under oath, agree ing not to plant to^excess of 2() acres of cotton this year, devoting the ext.a ten acres to food aul feeMuffs in addition to tha’ acreage planted ill such crops last year. If thi* plan meets with Jour approval, we will ad vance you ttiough money now to start your crop* and latei on we will check up or yout farm and if you have in.t violated the terms of your agreement, the balance of the mopey will h.' avail able to fnjsh thecrop.’ . "By ado pting this plan, we not only get immediate relief from the present low prices, but we insure profitable prices for next year’s crop, for if th» world input or. notice that only th : r- tcen million bales of American cotton are gvailable this year, with the ns- eurtnee that a small crop will bs gro^n in 1927, there will bo an im mediate scramble for cotton that will bfost the price several cents a pound. We kill several bird* v/ith oir stun" — getting more for th:* present crop, grow'ing a smaller crop next year at a smaller cost for producing and har vesting, with the consequent higher prices that a small crop brings, nt the same time insuring higher prices that a small crop brings, at (he some time insuring an ample production of feod- stuffs, cf which heretofore the re has nearly always ben a shortage. « w “It has come to .the point where the banks must act to protect themselves, for when he fanners iisist on over producing. they not only ruin them selves but also,the banks and supply merchants who have furnished the money. “In my opirdon, this plan is feasi ble and practical and I hope to see it adopted as the policy of every bank — big and little—in Dixie.” Jungle Green and Jabot i . •. ■ti" 1 lli!
