Owing to unfavorable weather con-
ditions the past fall—practically no
wheat was planted and as a renplt-*-
the cotton acreage was greatly in-
cleaaed and while the total yield of
cotton will probably be compara-
tively small yet the cotton gamblers
are using the large acreage to ham-
mer down the price below the actual
cost of production. As a matter of
fact—the cotton grower is at the
mercy of the cotton speculator and
will continue to be so long tri he
plants the face of the earth to cot-
ton. The holding movement alone
will not sol“e the question of low-
price cotton. Reduction in acreage
is the first necessary step. Had the
cotton acreage been cut one third
this year the crop would have
brought more money than will be
realized on the present large acreage
Every far seeing farmer as well as
business man recognizes the danger
of over production of cotton and yet
in the face this-—there iq no concert-
ed effort to handle the situation in
a manner which will assure a reason-
able profit on the great money crop
of the south.
So long as the cotton producer is
at the mercy of an organized bunch
of gamblers-—the only safe course to
follow is to cut the yield to a point
slightly below actual demand and at
the same time use proper methods to
improve both the grade and staple of
cotton. Cotton farmers are face to
face with a serious problem. The
high price of labor and increased
cost of production at one end of the
line and the wall street cotton gamb-
lers at the other leaves the cotton
producer between the devil and the
deep blue sea. Wheat and oats can be
produced with less labor perhaps
than any other crop and as a gen-
eral thing—are just as dependable
as cotton.
Every well cultivated cotton field
offers a splendid 3eedbed for wheat
which may be drilled in without dam-
age to the cotton now on the ground
Get in touch with the flour mills
wheat and plant a reasonably good
acreage. In addition to this, urge
your neighbors to plant a good
acreage also.
