A Sufgestion to BgnkrrH.
“ • ^- A ^ • *' 'K.4-
It ha* come to be a national pas
time for almost everybody—the news
papers included—to give advice to
the fanner* in season and out. It
may be that the preserA condition in
which they And themselves is due in
some measure to trying to follow all
of this free advice. Be that as it
may, The People-Sentinel has a sug
gestion to offer to the bankers of the
South that may or may not help to
prevent similar conditions in the
future.
The consensu* of opinion seems to
be that the present drastic decline in
the price, of cottom to a point con
siderably below the cost of produc
tion js due a s much or more to farm
ers dumping cotton on the market as
it is to a very large crop. Many of
them have nyt-hoice in the matter,
their bank notes falling due about
September 16th or October 1st to
16th, a very short period of time dur
ing the heaviest part of the harvest
season. We believe that the bankers
for the most part endorse co-operative
marketing as the solution of the
fanners’ problem. That being true,
why riot incoritorate the principle ip
the barking business and instead of
forcing the farmer to sell his pro
duct at less than cost in order to
maintain his credit, encourage nnrl
assist him in its orderly marketing by
having hiif rotes fail due in several
monthly installments, say from Sep
tember 16th to February or March
16th. In that way a part of the
crop would be offered for sale each
month and the marketing extended
over a pennd of several mdnths in
stead of a few Weeks, as is the ca<e
at present.
That i* the id:a behind co-operative
marketing, but many farmers cannot
join the association for self-evident
reasor s. This class and also those
who might prefer not t^ join the as
sociation for reasons sufficient unto
thamselve* would be in a position to
aid and assist tho co-operative mem
bers in mairAaining a prnfiuhl? price
ftr the staple.
We would like to have some of our
hanker friends tell us whether or not
the plan is fe&sahle. and if it is, ask
that they use their .influence to have H
adapted by all of the banks in the cot-
ten producing States.
inf cottort Here was being sold for
11 3-4 cent*, while ordinary was quo
ted at 2 1-4 cefita, baaed on Augusta,
there having been a'rtpid decline in
the past few days. In 1877 corn was
selling for 70 cents a bushel, bacon;
(aomked) sides for 13 cants, shoul
ders for 10 1-4 cents, (D. S.) sides
for 12 cenjs-. shoulders for 9 Mi
cents; lard 12H cents., beef 8 to
10 cents. We presume that flour
md other commodities were in pro
portion. Compere those prices with
the current quotations of today.
‘ We also fihdjthALAhe tax rates at
that time were orjy seven mills for
State purposes and three mills for
county purposes, a total of only ten
mills. Today the State levy for all
(purposes, including schools, is 12 1-4
mills and that for the county, also
including schools and past indebted
ness, is 17 3-4 mills, a total of 30 mills,
not including the special levies in the
various school districts. In other
words, the State’ levy has almost
doubled, while the county Ipvy is
nearly six times as great.
A half-century ago, cotton pickers
probably received 40 cents a hundred
pounds for their labor, whereas to
day many farmers are forced to pay
from $1 to $1.50 in order to get their
crop gathered. Production costs
have been on a basis of 20 cents a
pound cotton.
In the name of common sense, is
there any surprise that 85 per cent,
of the farms are mortgaged? Rather
isn’t it a surprise that all of them
are not plastered ? 1
Frankly, we do not know what the
outcome is going to be nor just how
the present condition is to be reme
died! in time to save a large number
of farmers and business men from
flnancial ruin, but it is a self-evident
fact that the Southern farmer cannot
go on indefinihliy selling his ipro-
duct several cents a pound below the
cost of production.
Florida Will Rebuild.
“Miami will* rise again, greater and
more famous than ever before,’* say*
Mayor Rumpf. chief executive of the
great Florida city stricken down bv
the recent hurricane.
The people of the country may well
talievc this. Miami, and all other
stricken cities, went to work im-
■adiately to rebuild their homes and
places of business.
The spirit of all Florida was ex
pressed by Mayor Rumf, who said
that what has happered is “so much
water over the mill.”
“Do not let us sit and bemoan our
fhte,” he said. “Let’s,be up and do
ing. 1 *
And every Floridian is up and do
ing. As relief pours in from every
print, the Florida folk plurge into
the task of remolding the State. Even
women and children ate helping.
