WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23 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. The cotton ginning records up to December 12th, showing that 206,000 FOR SWOLLEN ANKLES OR EYELIDS TRY BUCKU Mixed With Juniper, Best For Kidney or Back Pains and Swelling.

Nineteen-fifteen is Exposition year at San Fran cisco and San Diego. 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 for the speculators are to be convinced, AVrite to C. L.

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.

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.
