Keep Cotton
Sixty Days •1 1
“In the meantime, 1 would urge
that not a hale of cotton be sold. .
The present price of cotton is too
low even under ib“ elienpyst oppof
unities for production. Better
keep the cotton raised this year
and raise none next year than sacri
fice it at the present price. Not a
bale of cotton should be sold for
the next sixty days. There can be
jno orderly marketing unless the
i buyers seek to purchase, a.id this
i condition has ceased and cotton
must be held or the business in
terests of all the cotton states sac
rificed.
We should all appreciate the in
formation brought to the attention
of the public by Comptroller of
the Currency John Skelton Wil-
Hiatus. The,immense resources of
1 the batiks to which he tefers are
i most encouraging. The federal
I reserve board cbonki lower dis-
I count rates and all interest charges
would then be reduced. This
would greatly encouragemi'-lstimu
late all lines of business.”—Hoke
