Government Price-Fixing. S
■ r - —<a-
In the past, the United States gov
ernment has apparently been unalter
ably opposed to the policy of pric^
fixing by interfering with the law of
supply and demand, but Thursday of
last week the Department of Agri
culture issued a statement that would
indicate that this policy hss been
abandoned—in the interest of Wall
Street and the cotton spipners and
against the cotton farmers of the
South. The statement concluded as
follows: “Should the present esti
mate of production he realized and
past relationship between supply and
price prevail, it is likely that prices
will decline in the nentt few month*.’’
T^e immediate result was that the
prices on the New York Cotton Ex
change declined a cent and a half.
Protests from exchanges and busi-1
newt houses throughout the country
a *
poured into Washington—but the
damage had been done, and it is es- j
tiauted that thn South was made
pporer by between eighty million and
one hundred million dollars.
It will be recalled that last year,
when cotton was selling way below
the coat of production, efforts were
made to get the Cooiidgr ad mi rant ra
tion to asaisf in reestablishing higher
price*, but aside from Secretary
Hoover enjoying a few banquets in
the South nothing was done to relieve
the situation and .the cotton produc
ers and merchants swrated under the
burden of over-productioif JhfTl the
floods of the early Spring came to
their relief. Prices were further aid
ed by the boll weevil and the aban
donment of acreage, and with the last
government estimate foreemsting a
crop of only 12,692,000 bales, it
seemrvi that the* farmer was in a fail
W*y to receive 25 cents for his cotton
them no goQd utdeM they take ad
vantage of it to buy cotton. AWWther
statement odifying the first is en
tirely within the possibilities and in
any event we are to get a good up
swing from such an artificially fos-
tred decline. Every other develop
ment this week has been bullish.”
• The bankers and other big business
men of the entire South should rally
too the support of the cotton farmer in
th<« dastardly attempt to rob him of
the fruits of his labor,—which at
tempt is apparently aided and abet
ted by a department of the govern
ment which he supports! No fanner
should be forced to sell his dotton at
low prices “artifidially fostered.” He
should be encouraged to store his
cotton, draw a reasonable amount to
apply on his debts and helped in every
way to get the price to which he ia
jue’ly entitled, if the law of supply
(ind deaaand ia allowed to operate
without ir.^erfe^vicd from our be
nevolent government.
It ha* been further suggested that,
l^j.j if the people of the South have any
resentment left in them they will
show it i«i this inatanoe by absolutely
reYuring to furnish the Departmerst
of Agriculture or any other crop re
porting agency with any farther in-
fomwiCSon relative to -the prospective
yield of cotton this year, for it would
seem that when the cotton farmer is
favored by such information, the de
partment feels that it is meumbent

value of cotton,

Hare really said was that “BARN
WELL far’ surpasaeis any other
county in the St*t* in production of
asparagus, cucumbers, cantaloupes
and watermelons.”
We hope that the State and the
of a mosit unfavorable yield.
Seeing*that such wa* the case, the
first onslaught on value* occurred on
a “rurm) 1 -” that the carry-over figure*
would be revised upward, adding a
million bales to the world supply and
insuring an adequate amount for this
year’s needs. That caused a big slumn
in prices, but when Secretary Hester,
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
denied that he had any intention of
increasing his figures, values went
up immediately and the situation gave
promise of improving daily until the
price warranted by the government
estimate 1 was attained.. Realizing
this, it would seem that the Depart
ment of Agriculture was summoned
to the assistance of those who desire
to get this crop at low prices, in' spite
of decreased production and increas
ed consumption. Thursday’s state
ment was thei result.
Another crime has been committed
against the people of the South by one
whom Senator Harrs, of Georgia,
