Within the past two weeks the Government estimaters
have discovered 845,000 bales of cotton that wasn’t apparent
them two woeka ago. Three quarters of a million bales of
is not such.ft whale of a lot of cotton when considered
ijyt* a. *( vpnfeen and a half million bales of cotton, but
jTWaa st&w very heavy that was^dded to the cam- j
load and brolce his back, according to the story.
Three quurters of a million bales of cotton, if correct, i
ed to what we already had, will give us the biggest cotton <
p known to history, and at a time when we don’t particu- j
ly need it, md can’t very well stand it. It would almost
f be enough to j et by on if the cotton belt went out of the cot-j
ton raising business a year and gave the land a good rest. It,
would probably pay the South in dollars and cents to do that i
very thing, but the South can’t hardly do it.
Cotton fe the money ci*op 6f the South, and while our*
eafly settlers, could wear their coon skin caps and make a
retty fair liviig with their rifles, w*e could not do that any
lore, because for one thing the custom has gone out of style
id we don't consider things worth while these days unless i
tey are in Style. One of the reasons our forefathers co,uld
keep down expenses is that they did not go after buffalo meat,
and venison in high powered automobiles and have to stop at j
the filling station for gas and oil, like we do these days.
T I ,• i
Getting hi ck to the government estimates and their ef-
fects on the price, the surprise this time was that the bottom 1
did not fall immediately out of the same/ but it didn’t; in fact
< losses-orf the eajrly part of the day were regained later on and • „
there was actui lly a slight gain for the day’s trading.
The consideration shown us by our Yankee brothers, in j
holding up the price of cotton, was probably due to the fact;
Ijthat they figur'd there are enough countries now that can’t:
^ y their debtsj including France and England without, adding
If of our owfi ctmitwy to the list. It may be that tatey don’t
®want to finance us without some sort of security and>as cot- •
ton is aboutf thd. main security we have in the Sbutlfc’tH Toight
be to. their interest to keep it at least above low water fnark.
L . -In(a way it is fortunate that the Govemmnent took a long
4ime to find this great cotton crop that is,breaking all previ-
ous record^.. K the Qovemmnent had. known about it from
the beginning, we wroul<t hot have been able to dispose of over
half of our production at seventeen cents,a pound, and even
the Magic Valley might have had something tq think about .
es railroad extensions. Cotton men, who grasp the sit- j.
,tion say that if the government had estimated a seventeen
d a half million bale crop in the middle of July, we might j
using bales c f cotton for fuel this winter, and hardly inter- j
d in gas for Cuero and Yoakum.
Cotton of middling grade is still quoted at nearly 12 cents -
pound, but thte trouble is that odds and ends gathered after
and windd doesn’t grade up to middling and it is no un- !
mon thing for cotton to sell in Cuero and other market
liters of this county at seven or eight cents. On account of
low market and the high prices wanted by pickers, it is
at a certainty that lots of cotton will never be, picked, and ^
might4 d^envteave two million bales of the governments \r
estimate oiit in the fields. It will give the government
to hedge ft’ R finds that it has overestimated the mark of j
ginnings. *j
The ginnings up to the present are still und^r nine mil-;
bales it mu*t be remembered and the Texas estimate of
I production at 5,400,000 bales, is comparing with gin-
gs to date of only about half that amount. Some of the j
uth Texas Q^pnties* are making a little top crop, but the
k of SoutlCwtXas cotton ^nd most of Central Texas cotton ,
been ginnec, we are sure, and the North Texas crop is
ject to west! er damage and waste in the fields.
Things don t look so rosy for the cotton farmer as they i
and there is the knowledge that he and his associates j
e brought jthfs condition upon themselves by raising too
h of a good thing, but some how we always have managed
get along up to the present time and there is every reason
believe that sooner or later things will improve again. In
opinion^of w ill posted men those who are able to hold will
uy come out all right on their holdings if they get to-
and reduce acreage to bring up values. In the wheat
it it not likely that they will go cotton crazy another year
wheat offers so much better returns, and in our own
>ry we can make some reduction for feed and side lines,
igh cotton*must continue to be our main money crop.
The beat thi^ig we have to say in our favor is that we sold
fc bit of cotton before the market broke, but we might not have
advantage next year, and it may take some economy
rigid lines pnd hard planning to bring us out of the pres- j
