FARMERS TOLD
TO HOLD COTTON
FOR FAIR PRICES

Criticizes Old Policies.
Senator Smith criticized the old
policy of marketing the cotton crop
as fast as it was gathered. “If your ,
present crop is offered for sale only
as the manufacturers need it,” he
suggested, “it should easily command
a price equal to the best it brought
during the past twelve months.” “The
American Cotton association,” he
added, “would inspire farmers to or
ganize and prevent a sacrifice of the
crop through untimely sales.” The
farmer, he said must learn to organ
ise with his fellow and bring about a
new declaration of independence.
Taking the government estimate of
supply on hand July Ist, and deduct ,
ing the cotton which will be used by
the mills up to October Ist, with that
required continuously by the mills,
Senator Smith conservatively estimat
ed the available cotton for the year
beginning in October and inclusively
of the left-over from this year, would
be a total of 13,551,000 bales—an in
adequate supply for prospective de
mands.
Senator Smith went fully into esti
mated consumption, showing that four :
years prior to the war the United
States averaged an export business of
9,448,000 bales. At a low estimate,
he figured, the export bu -ines s for
the year beginning October 1 st would
be at least 8,500,090, which added to
the conceded consumption of Ameri
can mills of 6,000,000 bales, would
make a total of 14,500,000 bales, or a
full demand for the entire supply.
In elosing his address, which was
that of a legislator who has long
studied the cotton situation, Senator
Smith said:
“During the past year cotton sold
in the early part of September for
about 38 cents a pound. Adverse in
fluences depressed the market, and it
went to below 25 cents a pound, but!
before the season was over it came '
back to 36 cents a pound. The mar- |
ket will fluctuate again this year. Do
not be frightened by fluctuations. i
When the market goes off, keep your j
cotton, as all your cotton will be
needed for consumption during the
year. If you respond to a fall of
price by keeping your cotton, you
may be sure that the price will ad
vance. Never sell on a declining
market. If you do not let it break
your nerve, the price will return to
just value.
“The cost of producing the crop;
the present value of lands; the rela
tive value of other commodities; the
law of supply and demand, applied to
the present crop, justify better prices
for cotton during th§ coming year
than any received during recent
years.
“In the meantime, while gradually
selling your cotton, plant food crops
and raise cattle and hogs. Let the
would understand that you, will meet
the situation again next fall, indepen
dent and owning your cotton.”

suade us to eccept?”,
It was difficult to answer my
fiend, but at an exclusive shop
which caters to the more conserva

ing this very wearable gown. It
is designed for the days when a
blue serge dress is a most wel
come possession—especially when
not too plain to wear to tea, card
parties or for calling.
The embroidery is done in corn
flower blue, the front panel sus
pended apron fashion and held in
place at 'the sides by the serge
bands which extend from the waist.
For a figure .inclined to stoutness,
I would suggest that the em
broidery be done in navy blue or
in black, which is more slenderiz

of- color.
