GET BUSY.—IT’# GETTING
BETTER EVERY OAY.
Every day brings better news for
the people of the South end eapeclallv
of this section. The way la being
made for the marketing of the Booth's
cotton, gradually and slowly, as the
crop ought to be marketed and nt
constantly advancing prices.
New ways are being devised by the
South to use up the crop, and now the
slogan is going to be, "No floods Un
less Packed In Cotton Cloth." This
will serve a double purpose of helidng
the mills entl also widening the mar
ket for the South's cotton.
No more fertiliser unlee ssacked In
.'Otton sacke. No more cotton seed
meal unlaas sacked In cotton sacks.
No more hulls unless Backed In cotton
sacks.
Even the women’s organisations are
spreading the doctrine of wearing an.l
using cotton goods The Mouth must
find a market for Its cotton. If tills
market can't bo found abroad It la
going to be found In this country.
Get tn the game and talk cotton and
use cotton and buy cotton and bold
cotton. LeTa find a martlet for thte
warts crop and nest year let’s raise
the faed ntufth that wo need. Moie
and more Hwrthem farmers are doing
thte.
It's ttme to stop raising distress cot
ton tn the ftouth. When banka and
merchants and factors rut down the
funds on which the distress cotton of
the Bouth is raised each year, there
Is going to be less of It.
