Manning Says Seil Cotton Slowly Governor Manning has given it the following with reference c i the stori"g of the cotton crop: ecently we have seen a depres- 0 on in the price < f cotton, 0 Inch, from our information, ^ ?th as to the siza and .demand ^ r the crop. iR, in my judge- * ent, unwarranted. It is pos- r ble that this slump was caused ' j reason of the fact that- a large miner of sellers placed their op on the market, ami for the ^ nie being the supply was great- ^ than the demand. It is there- r re of the utmost importance 1 lat we market the crop slowly * id grudually in order to mam- 1 In, a higher scale of value and li evcvit another such depression * prifce. I fully realize, of hii se, that dents are due and s ust be paid, add in order to I eet these obligations, our farm- 1 8 must realize ready cash. In c der therefore, for those who ' ive cotton on hand to market t slowly and gradually, and at v le same time meet their press- v ig obligations. I would sugisttliat the resources obtain- y rde through the Federal r serve I anks are ample to enable the t inner to hold his cotton and lake short, term loans on same t L reasonable rates of interest, t > us to hold the cotton off the < larket until an advance in the < rice takes piace sulRci nt to lake it profitable to the farmer. I is necessary, in order to senre loans from the Federal re- i erve bunks, that the cotton be | roperly warehoused ami inured. In my judgement, it i* j ecessury to properly warehouse I iid insure the cotton w!w?tlmr . loney is b arrowed or not. I i rould therefore, urge our peole not to allow their cotton to e exposed to the weather and i he dangers of tire, especially at i his season of the year. We , iave made a short crop, and it' i s of great importance that it be | irotected in every way possible. Ve must realize the full value f this crop.
