Did you ever stop to thml; how
tho Department of Agriculture of
the National Government comes
to tho assistance of tho cotton
bears” when they get m ft tight
place? If not keep your eyo m
that department and you will
learn something. The thing you
will learn is this: Whenever the.
price of cotton advvnces rapidly, or
whenever a serious effort is made to
advance the price, some official of the
Department of Agriculture will make
a statement that will have the effect of
lowering the price, or prevent a further
advance.
Lot us take Inst week us nn in

fourths of the cotton bolt, in can-
nection with extremely hot and

bounding to tho 18 cents mark
with a etfong probability of M
ceryts in the near futuro. Not
alone was this advance in tin?

Of course, tho ‘ bears” were
desperate. To pay tho South
