Hold Your Cotton!
If the Drice of cotton continues to
decline the farmer who expects to
reap a golden harvest this year will
be disappointed. It seems th&t
speculators have set out to get this
year's crop at considerably less than
its value and every time the farmer
puts a bale of cotton on the market
he is playing into the hands of the
man who would rob him of the,
fruits of his labor. The price of,
grain has been skyrocketing ever
since the war began and the western I
wheat farmer has had the situation ,
pretty well under control. But not
so with the Southern cotton grower.
He sold the bulk of his 1914 crop;
for considerably less than it cost him !
to make it and he got very little i
fnore than value for his 1915-16
crops. Cotton is a bulky commodity
and is hard to handle but there is
plenty of money in the country and
no farmer should sell a pound of cotton
at present prices unless he is
compelled to meet pressing financial
obligations. The banks are ready
to lend money at reasonable interest
rates on cotton stored in bonded or
Stata wnrphnnnpq and if a farmer
must have some ready cash it will
pay him to store his cotton and borrow
enough money to meet his
pressing obligations. It is a pretty
safe bet that the price of cotton will
advance just as soon as the bulk of
the crop passes out of the hands of
the producer, and if the farmer can
manage to hold the crop off the
market he will beat the speculators
at their own game. The world
must have cotton and if the farmer
will keep his crop off the market
for sixty days he will bring about a
#?nttr>n faminp that will drive the
price up to a new high level. He ,
has the situation in his hands if he
will only use a little horse sense.
Any farmer who is willing to pay
the present prices for wheat flour
without making some effort on his
own part to better conditions by
planting and raising his own wheat,
ought to have to go the rest of his
days eating corn bread. It is good
policy to raise what wheat he needs
any time no matter how cheap flour
may be. But it is much more important
now that the price of flour
is so high that he cannot afford
L
to eat any more oiscuius.?
