To hold cotton is
It requires storage, insurance, interest and labor.
Whenever cotton is stored in large quantities, it is the very
man has been looking for. Instead of
him paying these several headings of expense, the farmer pays it
for him.
Whenever a large quantity of cotton is stored, it is just like the
coon that is treed, it cannot get away from him. He knows that
it is just a question of time, that the cotton will come out, lUcPj
the coon must eventually come down the tree, and get caught^' f
• The mill man knows too how much is stored. He has a
good idea of the yield during the year, and what has not been sola
is held back and that is a very simple problem in arithmetic.
The mill man knows too that he can wait just as long as the
farmer can wait. He knows that there are fewer millmen than
there are farmers and the odds are against the farmer. The
millmen are usually the heads of large corporations, and if the
mill must close down, the employees suffer, not the millmen, nor
their corporations.
They usually buy their years supply during the movement of
the cotton crop, like the oil mills buy their supply of cotton seed
during the movement of the cotton crop. If the crop don’t move
they don’t buy.
We have noticed that every time the farmers start a holding
movement, the price of cotton goes down, and we have noticed
that during the movement of the crop the price would go down
and sometimes would go up.
During the present state of affairs, the farmers are urgently in
need of a Finance Corporation with a large catpital, to enable those
. that need credit to furnish them credit to buy their cotton. Such
a Finance Corporation needs $50,000,000 or $100,000,000. The
United-States Government organized one during the war with a
capital of $500,000„000 to give credit to factories apd enable them
to buy their supplies.
The farmer needs to find markets, and not store cotton. If
they had a finance corporation to give credit to European millmen
that now need it, their cotton would be moving, and other buyers
seeing the cotton crop getting away from them, would be forced
to buy too to get their annual supplies.
Nothing scares the cottonmill man like seeing cotton get away
from him, and there is nothing that will make him get into the
market and bid for his supplies quicker. If it is gone he cannot
operate, but if it is stored in the farmers warehouse, he rests per-
fectly easy.
We will ask our readers, 1
