THE OUTLOOK AS ONE WRITER VIEWS IT The price of cotton and cotton seed is booming, but farmers don’t be switched off from plant ing a big crop of wheat and oats this coming fall and winter. lam old enough to remember cotton selling for 44 cents per pound, and I also remember seeing far mers go dead broke when those high prices existed. We notice some of the banks are advertising to loan on cotton at 6 per cent, but we find that their proposition don’t help the land renter and poor man any, for we have investigated the matter and we find that the far mer has to put up SIOO worth of cotton before he can get a loan. Hence you see that squeezes all the little farmers out of their cot ton into the hands of the specu lator. The speculator can then go the bank and secure a loan on the cotton the little farmer has been refused a loan on. Now, gentlemen, if what we have said is not the facts in the case we will be much obliged to someone who is high up in the financial world to give us a little more light on the subject through the public press. The great trouble in the com mercial and political world today is they say let’s make out like we are going to do wonders for the farmer, but when it comes to a showdown we will see to it that it is not done.
