For months now the bear specu lators and gamblers have been bet ting that six months later tbey would get the Southern farmer’s cotton around thirty cents the pound. Futures have been going on that basis. But month by month, as the time for delivering spot cotton came, forty cents a pound had to be paid. Now at hist these bear specula tors and those who depend on them believe their turh has come, cotton on which these interests are It is the new crop and its distress counting to save them. This year’s cotton crop has been the most expensive - ever grown, and right now fertilizer prices are going up $5 to sls a ton. Freight rates the country over have just been increased 25 to 40 per cent; passenger fares 20 per cent and Pullman surcharges 50 per cent, which means increased cost for no one knows how many commodities the farmer buys. Nevertheless, a tremendous array of forces in con spiring to get the farmer's for less than the <%>st of tion Unfortunately, too, tin* wide spread restriction of hank credit, the general inability or refusal of hanks to make reasonable loans, plays into the hands of the hears. The only way farmers can meet this situation is by stiffening the market from the very first day of the new crop season. Ignorant farmers would break the market by slavishly accepting lower priqes than now prevail must he warned. They must be shown that they are not only cheating themselves, but destroying fTio hopes and profits of all the rest of us. Mr. E. \V. Dabbs, whose distin guished record in Farmers’ Union work is well known to our readers, suggests that every county organ ize a company with ample capital to buy distress cotton and take it off the market. That plan may or may not be feasible in your conn-, tv, hut it is feasible for every land owner to help keep his tenant’s crop off a depressed market. It is feasible for us to interview the merchants and bankers we patron ize and suggest definite ways by which they can help keep distress cotton from hindering the progress and prosperity of the South. And in many eases it will he feasible for each one of us to say to some neigh bod. “Don’t sacrifice your cotton for less than it is worth. Hold on to it, skimp along some how. and if T can help you in any way, I’ll do it.” And wherever there is distress cotton that must be sold anyhow, some well-to-do farmer should buy and absolutely keep it out of the regular channels of trade. The situatioij calls for quick ac tion. Officers of local and county Uotton Associations, Farmers’ Un ions, etc., should meet, and if nec essary arrange for mass meetings to discuss tiie situation And to ar range for cooperative effort in warehousing, selling and holding up the market.—Progressive Far mer.
