P. & G. S.. Laurons. 8. C. Dated, this Oct. 16, 1911.?3t. ?A PLANTER'S SOUND PLAK. * * ? In The State this morning Dr. Wade Stackhouse of Dillon grower of 1,800 hales of cotton a year, presents a, plan for checking the decline of cotton and causing a strong, sound recovery to profitable prices. It comes nearer con taining the essentials to a successful movement for that purpose than any suggestions wc have heard. The united effort of a large number of farmers, supported by a powerful financial agency, is the general form of organization that has seemed to The State necessary to a successful cotton-holding movement. Large busi ness capacity and high reputation of the men undertaking large business affairs, are of course, the only safe guard against failure, the only assur ance of confidence?and in a move ment in which tens of thousands of farmers must cooperate In business, confidence In the lenders is of first importance. Granting the present crop to be 14, 000,000 bales, Dr. Stackhouse proposes to withdraw one-fourth?3,500,000? from the market; to have a "cotton holding company" in eacli State with Officers of known business ability; to have a strong hank in each state se lected as trustee to hold warehouse receipts in trust for the cotton-hold ing company; to have each farmer storing cotton make a legal contract with the holding company, binding himself not to sell for less than 12 cents on penalty of forfeiture of the difference between that price and the price for which be sells. The cotton to !>e stored in trust until August 15, 1912. Then, with only 10,500,000 bales purchasable below 12 cents, and will) much of that held off the market by farmers to whom this movoment would give hope and backbone, there is little doubt of a quick recovery of prices. And as selling would be slow on a rising market, with weak holders already squeezed out. the advance would be steady and would bold. The farmers, seeing this amount of cotton held, would reduce average; they would at least have ample warning to do so. Mr. Stackhouse proposes that Fair week he made the occasion for (he or ganization of South Carolina farmers for better prices for 1912, and also stmgosts that those put in chni'gc Of the business of such organization be men who are neither office-holders nor olllcc-seokers. and whose busin ss ca pacity has been proved by their works. Moth are capital suggestions, it would be w mi to secure the attend ance from other cotton States of as many men as possible who are alive to tln> need for a strong organization of real farmers and real business men to turn the tide in favor of the South. "if anything can be done," says Dr. Stackhouse. "It should be (lone quickly." Most assuredly. V\i to this writing the cotton-holding campaign has proved a disastrous failure. While attempts have been made to frighten off the bears by shouting loudly and making faces at them, cotton has turmbled steadily $.">. $10. $1.".. and now $20 a hale. The poorer the farmer, the greater he has suffered. No won der he thinks lie is without friends; there has been nothing effective done in bis behalf: no rallying point pro sided; no business plans for meeting this emergency that was bound to arise , sooner or later. Those who should be masters of the situation are helpless and without resources in time of crisis, and the penalty is the loss to farmers of scores of millions of dollars. And every man, woman and child in the South is concerned. For years The Stale has begged spokesmen for the cotton growers to adopt the policy of dwelling upon thi great amount of cotton needed for Ihc world's supply instead of attempting to bolster the market by minimi/big the probable production. lint that palpably sound suggestion has boon Ignored, in spite of the fact that claims of small crops do not even de ceive the fanners, as is evidenced by the rush to sell in the past 60 days on a tumbling market. If it bad been hammered Into the'minds of every body, North and South, and especially the cotton growers, that the trade of the world needs l.">,000,000 bales of American cotton of the 1911 crop, the bears could not have brought about the panic to sell at a miserably small margin of prollt. For the sake of farmers, and for the sake of the South, we sincerely hope strong broad, patriotic men will take hold of the situation right now, pull the farmers out of tho hole they are In, and provide protection for the [future against such slaughter of Southern values as has been lately ex perienced.?The Ktate.
