LUTHER MARTIN ON THE VALUE OF COTTON And On Senator Hoke Smith’s Speech Upon The Subject (From the Elberton Star.) Honorable Luther Martin, three l times a member of the Legislature, from Elbert County, and former trus- ee of (he State College of Agriculture who has been in Washington city most of the time during the adminis tration of President Wilson, returned uoiue Monday. Mr. Martin is enthusiastic about the price which cotton should bring, and declares that thirty cents a pound would not be excessive for coUon when compared to prices at which wool, corn, wheat and other things are selling. Mr. Martin heard the speech deli vered September 13th, in the Senate, by Senator Hoke Smith, on “The Em bargo and the Value of Cotton.” Mr. Martin said that the embargo on cotton was, at that time, being unfairly used to force down the price and cotton had fallen from twenty six to nineteen cents a pound. Speaking of the speech, Mr. Martin said: “Senator Smith showed that cotton had not gone to Germany or Austria for two yeaars; that England had for two years entirely controlled ship ments to neutral countries of north ern Europe, and only allowed three hundred thousand hales last year to go to Holland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. “He also showed that our govern ment would not Interfere with these shipments, and that the embargo would not lessen the market for cot ton. “lie showed that the consumption of cotton since the war began hr.tl exceeded production two million bales, and that the surplus cotton, which was in the world at the beginning of the war, has be4n used up. “He showed that last year the con sumption of our cotton exceeded the estimate hy the Agricultural Depart ment of this year’s crop one million, bales. “He showed that the demand for cotton this year would be greater tha rt that of last year and, therefore, the demand for our cotton this year would exceed production more than a mil foil bales, and sajrl that If cotton was- selling relatively as high as wool, corn and wheat, It would sell for thir ty cents a pound. **Ihe facts presented by Mr. Smith* destroyed the argument of those who were depressing^ the price of cotton. Other Senators, a day or two later, followed upon the same line, and now the facts furnished by Senator Smith are being generally circulated all over the United States. “They have broken down the ’bear movement’ against cotton, and cotton is again selling for over twenty-five cents a pound. “We are all especially interested ' right now in the price of cotton, and» all should appreciate how Senator Smith put together the facts and pre sented them to the Senate to stop the ‘bears’ in their unfair raid on‘the price of cotton. “No farmer should sell any cotton for less than twenty-five cents a pound.” Did you ever let your fire insurance lapse?
