timistic, ami for your Inforamtiqa
I say that the Oklahoma pros?

estimate of l.lfrO.000 bales to 1.000.
000 bales. Our State Board of Arr
rlculture believes that the latter fig?
ure will now Just about mark the
limit of production In Oklahoma
during this season.

State Hoard of Agriculture to en?
courage the farmers to hold on to
their cotton ?Top and markot It as
?lowly as possible. There are none
of our representatives In Washing?

have to forego action as per your first
suggestion. Respectfully yours,

sec the absolutely conservative poa?-'
tion the Farmers' Union has taken1
In Axing 19 cents as the minimum'
fair price for cotton. Secretary lies- {
er <>f the New Orleani Exchange has
i
just Issued his statement of the laot
crop at 12,1X0,000 balea This crop j
soij for 14 to 15 cents throughout
the season, untl the big crop report
of the Department of Agriculture In
July. We have shown how Impos- 1
slble it la for this year's crop to reach
fourteen million bales, and hon <t is
more likely to be ground twelve mil?
lion bales?with thirteen million the'
barest possibility, and an equal
chance that storms, runt, rams and
Insects Worms and boll weevils, and
an early frosl on a late crop will re?
duce tho crop to less than twelve mil
'ion bales. Why then should we sell
our cotton at 11 conti the pound .'
A farmer informed me today the
disposition is io sell at the price.
Do you nol know that there is a ki
gantic "hear" combine of the spin?
ners of Europe and Nea England,
aided and attended by the spinners
of the South. to put COtton to 9
tents? Do you not realise that it
p/ould now be below i(| cents but for
thg active work of the Union and
Sumter Chamber of Commerce? Are
- oil going to let all our work go for
naught, and discredit ill in the eyes
of tho whole South, which we have
aroused a.-- never before, by throw?
ing your COtton on the market?
I appeal to your good sense and pa?
triotism and pride in what your fel?
low citizens have done in this mat?
ter to hack us to the limit for 13
cent cotton. The local brinks as?
sure us of their hearty co-operation
and we hgVi assurances of millions
of money from other sources, if we
ran but persuade you to USS it. Need
