Only the Farmer Who Has Made His
Own Supplies As Well As CoHon
Can Afford Longer to Hold CoHon
Already Selling Movement is Beginning, Farmers Realizing
That Nothing Providential Will Happen to Boost the Price,
and As Soon As it Gets Into Full Sway, All Lines of Bus
iness Will Reflect the Benefit in Which the Farmer Will
Himself Share.
It has now- become apparent that
even though no European war had dis
organized world commerce, decreased
demand and tightened the purse strings
of the south's cotton customers, with
the monster cotton crop produced this
sear the staple would probably not
have brought more than 8 or 9 cents
at best.

bales have been ginned more than in
the record year of 1911, forms the bas
is of the governmental calculation that
the 1914 cotton crop will go over the
16.000,000 hale mark—that it will he
16,270 hales.
When It is considered that 5,000.000
bales, unconsurned last year, were
brought over and must he added to
this year’s production in any reckon
ing of the supply, there are in round
numbers more than 21,000,000 bales—
less what cotton has been consumed
this year.
In other words, as long as the Eu
ropean war continues, there is already
on hand enough cotton to supply the
world demand for the next few years
without the necessity of planting a
single acre more.
And while It is true that every bale
raised next year will postpone Just
that much, by adding to the supply, the
time when cotton will again command
a fair price, there will be cotton raised
In 1915 —just how much no man can
say.
Cannot Afford to Hold.
Viewing the matter In this light, and
in the light of these figures and facts,
it would appear that the only man
who can afford to continue to hold his
cotton is the man who has while mak
ing his cotton made foodstuffs and
feedstuff’s and other money crops. The
man who has produced nothing ex
cept cotton and who must needs buy
his farm supplies certainly cannot con
tinue to hold, for the hope of receiving
a price even equal to the cost of pro
duction is at the present time too re
mote.
The soundest advice—the advice of
men who have calmly surveyed the
situation as it exists —is not, however,
that the farmers dump all their cotton
on the market now or at any other
time; but that they disillusion them
selves that something providential Is
goiong to happen to Increase the price
of cotton to 9 or 10 cents at any time
In the near future —for nothing of the
sort is or can happen—and that they
begin now to market their cotton, let
ting the staple trickle gradually to the
market rather than glutting it and
thus effecting even a decrease in price.
The One Sure Way.
The one absolutely sure way to
strengthen the cotton market is that
the farmers of the south actually cut
and slash the cotton acreage in 1915

A DEMONSTRATION
BRIGHTS DISEASE
A permanent recovery in a critical
case of Bright’s Disease should be of
general interest. Here’s another:
Nine years ago W. E. Strickland of
236-6th Street San Francisco, was so
far down with Bright’s Disease that
he had convulsions nearly every day
for three weeks and the end did not
look far away. His physician, Dr.
Kelly, thought there was no hope.
The late E. L. Baldwin, President of
the Ferry Drug Company was instru
mental iu having Fulton’s Renal Com
pound administered. There was not
only a recovery but it was perma
nent. for the patient called, appar
ently well on February 27, 1914, and
left a specimen which tested normal
as follows; Specific gravity 1024; al
bumen none; sugar none.
The ability of Fulton’s Renal Com
pound to reduce albumen In many
eases of Bright's Disease is not a mat
ter oT opinion but a FACT IN PHY
SICS We will mail formula for al
bumen test that witl show the per
centage rrom week to week. As the
albumen disappears improvement com
monly follows, recoveries having
been reported In thousands of cases.

fiist, that the cotton farmer is in dead
ly earnest. It it were possible that
not a single cotton seed were planted
the coming spring, the cotton market
would talso on a lively activity and
strength, and, for a time, cotton would
command a fair price. But that is too
idealistic a dream.
The season is approaching when the
small farmer and the tenant farmer
has been accustomed in the past to se
cure small advances, of money and
provisions, on the strength of the pros
pective crops; and a little later will
come the season when these farmers
have been accustomed to securing lar
ger advances from the banks and sup
ply merchants. In view of the existing
conditions, these usual advances will
not be available next month, the fol
lowing month or during the coming
spring. Banks and merchants already
have their money tied up. The fact
that cotton has not been moving has
kept them out of their money; and
even if they had plenty of money,
knowing that if even half a normal
crop is produced in 1913 cotton will
not bring even as good a price as at
the present time, they would be more
cautious than ever about making ad
vances on cotton crops.
Must Sell and Buy.
Therefore, the problem of the tenant
farmer, and many others, will be how
to tide over —how to keep the larder
full—how to feed the family and the
stock; and instead of foolishly hold
ing on to his cotton in the face as ex
isting conditions and in the vain hope
that in a few weeks It will bring a
much better price, he must sell und
provide for himself as best he can.
Already, as a matter of fact, the
holding movement is loosening. When
the selling movement gets into full
sway, as it should, business in all lines
is bound to reflect the benefits. Money
v ill naturally become more plentiful.
The credit of the farmer who depends
upon credit must be Improved, for It
is easily understood that the merchant
will the more readily credit the man
who pays his debts than the man who
has already an account on the books
which cannot be collected.
