in many part, of the itate Is only now
ready to pick. One county alone has
applied to the bureau through Consul

pickers. Another county has asked
that 700 pickers be sent to it as soon
as the bureau is In operation.--------——J

The Ford Motor Company makes this reduction in the face of the fact that they have on hand immediate orders for one
hundred forty-six thousand sixty five cars and tractors. The Company will suffer a temporary loss while using up the material
bought at high prices. They are willing toinake the sacrifice in order to bring business back to a going condition as quickly as pos-
. sible and maintain the momentum of the buying power of the country. Henry Ford says “The war is over and it is time war prices
were over. There is no sense or wisdom in hying to maintain an artificial standard of values. For the best interest of all it is time ■
a real practical effort was made to bring the business of the country and the life of the country down to regular pre-war standards.”

”Acr-*age was reduced in 191# and In
that way the farmers began to push
up the price. The spinners are trying
to Ret the 1829 crop at a sacrifice and
whether they do or not depends on how
the farmers market the crop. Money
matters are tight and co-operation
and assistance are needed The Cotton
Association plan Is to market about
IS pet cent of the crop a tnonth over
a period of. 9 months and a smaller
acreage for 1921.
“At points whtre market will pro-
vide it bonded warehouses will be es-
tablished and bonded xraders who are
licensed graders will xrade the cotton.
They will issue receipts for the cotton
that can be cashed in the market and
will be carried by the bankers.
"Money matters are getting tight and
the money question will have a deter-
mining effect on the price of the crop.
Bankers are slow to let out the money
they have on hands because they can-
not replace It. Some explain this con-
dition aa caused by the fact that we
ar not demobilised. Through not Rati-
fying the peace treaty we have brought
about a boycotting condition by not
having a uniform rate of exchange.
'Til la has brought about abnormal con-
ditions and it is to be hoped that they
will be parttally settled at least at the
meeting of prominent world bankers
called for Versailles In October to agree
On exchange rates. ,/

“Cost of the 1920 crop is estimated
at 44c which I considered possibly
high. It can be marketed at a profit
If marktted judicially and systemat-
ically and if the 1921 crop Is cut liowrf
With continued methods of this kind
we can make cotton production a busi-
ness and not a necessity. It is time for
thtb* producers to come- together and
protect the cotton producing industry.**

"The farmers have for a long time
been Actlms of the cotton brokers and
repeatraly have been forced to sell
their cron tor prices at which they
could not produce it. In 1914 the price
was forced down from 12 and -L4c to
the low price of «c by the spinners and
manufacturers of America and othtr
countries. This was due to lack of con-
t*rt*S action in markertng rhe crop
Then oegan plsns for rotation of crops
—diversification and reduction of the
crop. You could then find farms with
hugs, cattle and feed crops on them
but the war came On and In 1917 we
got into it and the government asked
the farmers to raise more cotton. They
sacrificed themselves. In 1919 the crop
reached 37c and was at that figure
when the armistice was signed. In
forty days it dropped |30 a bale with
meat of the 12,000,000 ' bale drop still

organised the situation could have
been solved immediately.
