TO THE FARMERS OF JACKSON COUNTY
This to say to my friends, who are puzzled over
the cotton 'situation, while I never attempt to fore
cast the movement of the cotton market, there is
one thing I can safely say, and that is the best time
I ever saw to hold cotton is when it is selling below
the cost of production. lam farming some myself,
and realize fully this crop is selling far below the
cost of production.
To those who wi.-h to hold their cotton, I beg to
say I have the warehouse facilities, and reasonable
advances can be had on my bonded warehouse re
ciepts.
I really believe that cotton stored and held at the
present prices, will show a handsome profit before
the 1927 crop is planted.
