In addition the president 'through the agency he would designate could also sell either domestically or by ex pert wheat, wheat products or by products at & profit or loss "as in the judgment of such agency may be nec essary." He also could lease, buy or requisition storage space and pre scribe the terms to be paid for it. In transmitting the measure to the committee chairmen. William A.

Cut and Hold Slogan Farmers Can Control Cotton by United Action. Columbia Jan. .28.?"All farmers have ' to -do is stand pat, hold their cotton, cut acreage 30 per cent., cut fertilizers and the fight will be won." ? This is the statement made by B. Harris, commissioner of agriculture^ yesterday, when asked his view of the cotton situation. .He said: ' "The cotton mills are running very short of cotton. They have not enough t-0 supply their demands for more than 15 days. If the farmers will Just hold to- their cotton,{. cut the acreage arid fertilizers and depend on; the merchants and'banks to help, it will save the 6dUth millions of dol lars. The merchants.and banks are ' doing ali posibte to keep cotton off the market. It.means not only a good price- for the cotton now being held, but It is an insurance of good prices for the next crop to be grown."

PUTtO B*COt_,_1 I Small Farm Figures \ - ? ..j Senator Banks Sees Ruin for, Cotton Grower or Gambler. } To The Editor of The State: The impossibility of producing! cotton under present and prospective; conditions ik apparent to every practi caJ farmer but it may not be amiss to give through the press some figures' that the general public may be made; aware of what is well known to the I men whs make the cotton and I wish j to direct to these figures the earnest ! attention of all those who are to pro- i vide the credits to produce the 1919 j crop. My figures will be based on! conservative estimates and will bej found, on careful analysis, approxi-; mately'- correct. The average one mule farm inj South Carolina will be used as illus- j trstion of the fact in- mind. The av- j erage farm consists of about 30 acres ' ?planted in cotton anil grain, about two-thirds cotton o?fc-third grain re- i quiring the labor' of one mule, one \ able bodied man and two women or j large children. Such farm may be ex pected to produce in this State on the average, with the use of 500 pounds] of fertilizer and .100 pounds nitrate of j soda per acre; 12 bales of cotton, ^450* pounds in weight and sufficient grain and forage to provide food for the, mule and. laborers. ISie ^following /table will show! whether such farm can be profitably J conducted under present and pros-1. pective conditions. Expenses?500 pounds fertilizer per! acre at $50 per ton?$375. 100 pounds! soda per acre at $84 per ton?$12<? Picking 12 bales at $12 per bale?$144 Wages, one able bodied man at $35 per month?$420. Extra labor for hoe ing, etc.?$100. Plows, gearing shop bills, etc.?$25. Ginning and bagging! and ties?$60. Investable expenses j unforeseen?$100. Total necessary ex-1 pense?$1350. Value of saleable pro-j ducts?12 bales 450 pounds each, atj 20 cents per pound?$1080. 4 tons seed i at 60 cents per pound?$240. Total in come $1320. Net loss on farm, $30. It will be seen that I have allowed nothing for rent of land, interest on 13*vestment nor interest on money necessary to produce labor and sup plies at the figures quoted. The foregoing figures are a con servative illustration of the cost of producing cotton on the average farm j In our State and will no doubt j apply approximately to all farms in j the South. And yet cotton gamblers; are selling our cotton deliverable in New York next October for 19 cents; per pound which ordinarily means] less than 18 cents in the. South. The logic of the situation spells ruin either to them or to us and it i3 up to us to say how which it shall fall on. Would it not be wise for us to produce less and buy a little from them. J. A.
