C. f ' ' I , PREDICTION BY SMITH OF COTTON SHORTAGE Washington, Nov. 15.?Prediction of a world shortage of'cotton next summer was made in the senate today by Senator Smith (Democrat) of South Carolina, in a speech analyzing the statistics on cotton consumption for October,, made public by the census bureau. Should the rate of consumption for the ensuing month equal or exceed that of October he Raid there would not be a bale of American in existence by next August 1. In the course of his speech, Mr. Smith digressed to discuss what he said was the failure of congressional action intended to aid the farmers, asserting that it seemed the only hope for the agricultural interests lay in the formation of their own cooperative selling agencies and the establishment of their own banks. He added that relief legislation thus far had been converted each time into "breastworks behind which the interests opposed to the farmers entrenched themselves to destroy the farmers' profits." Exports and domestic consumption of cotton for October aggregated 1,366,000 bales, which, according to the senator, constitutes a record for monthly disposition of the product. "At that rate,' he continued, "thp exports and consumption between last August 1 and next August 1 will be more than 16,000,000 bales, and the best estimate of the visible supply that can be obtained showed only about 12,500,000 or 13,000,000 bales."^ A carry over of about 5,000,000 bales was estimated by Mr. Smith while this years' crop he believed would not exceed 7,000,000 bales. He mad^ his figures liberal, he added but found no wav to hrimr t.h?? two totals any where near together. Mr. Smith reviewed the many "cries" which he said forced the cotton prices down and told the senate that all the "menacing things foreseen by the trade, including the rail strike," had been put out of the way, yet the price .remained low. He declared however that the country never would see cotton seil as low again, expressing the belief tnat American cotton crops hereafter would fall below the seven year average, which he said, was slightly above l2,0##tMG bales. - ; LIFE'S SUNNY SIDE Which?

The resolutions declare that the movement is one of such vital importance to the welfare of the state everybody should be concerned as to its outcome. "It seems to us," says the resolutions, "that the cotton farmers' only hope for the future lies in the successful formation of this association. The presence of the boll weevil in this state is going to force him to restrict his acreage and will greatly decrease the production on the acreage that is planted. How important it is then that he should secure a fair price fo^that which he doesf/produce! This he can do through intelligent marketing." In announcing the action of the committee Harry G. Kapjiner, president, said: "The cotton farmer is right now confronted with some very serious Woblenis. "He has been pretty hard up against it before, plenty of times^or perhaps we should say all the time. He has possi' ly been up against it as hard as he is at present, but? "Now he stands at the cross roads. On the one hand he sees stretching out before him, twisting and turning, rough and rutty, the old trail he has been following since the beginning. It has been a hard road and the view ahead is not encouraging. "On the other hand is a newJ straight, hardsurfaced road leading straight to the cotton mill. It is a smooth road, well kept, and in its surface is this imprint: 'Guaranteed by 80,000 satisfied users?approved by agricultural specialists.' "This new road is built on a sound, business-like system, as are all other highways of industry, which other* are now following to prosperity. "The new road is the South Caro? lina Cotton Growers' Cooperative Association. By means of it the farmer, through his own hired- marketing expert, go all the way to market with his cotton, guarding it from the losses in country damages, city crop, speculative profits, unnecssary handling costs, etc., and take home with him all of the money the spinner pays instead of the small part that has heretofore been his in the price of the. local buyer has pai l him. "South Carolina farmers are taking the new road in steadily increasing numbers." SERVICE AT BAY SPRINGS Rev. W. II.
