by the spinners of both Europe and
America and the loading cotton plant-
ers of this country.
President Neill has just returned
from attending the meeting of the na-
tional union in Uttlo Rock. He was a
member of the committee which recom-
mended to the convention that tho
minimum price of cotton be established
at 15 cents. Discussing the price which
should be received for cotton this year,
Mr. Neill stated that everything indL
cated an extremely short crop and that
it Was conceded by even the Infiaters
that the crop.will be short, and that
there is no reason why the farmers
should take less than 15 cents.
"New York formerly controlled the
situation,” he stated, ’but the bucket
shop has been eliminated and the cot-
ton is sold direct to the spinner. The
elimination of the bucket shop has
done away with a great expense to
both the farmer and the spinner. It is
not now necessary to secure the gam-
bler’s figures to know what th* price
of cotton is. Every day I receive let-
ters asking what the price is.' My uni-
form answer is that 15 cents is the
price. if I looked at the bulletins be-

Discussing tl»e conditions of the crop
President Neill stated that a few days
ago he Was of the opinion that prob-
ably the Texas yield this season would
be about 3,000,000, but since discussing
the situation with Calvin and Loouder-
milk, he wax ready to admit that condi-
tions did not warrant making an esti-
mate of much over 2,000,000. Altman.
Violet & Co., a few days ago made an
estimate that the yield would be 10,-
611,000 bales produced this year, and
they are not far from wrong. Over in
Georgia and South Carolina, where
thirty dags ago the crop was so prom-
ising. I am informed it has deteriorated
30 per cent, said Mr. Neill.
"There is another thing this year that
wlU tend to lessen the production as
well as lessen the quality of the cot-
ton and that is the fact that poor seed

enougfi seed to plant the first time and
some of them had enough to plant
the second time, but the crop will be
made from the second and third plant-

necessary for the farmers to go to the
mills for their seed, and it can be rec-
ognized that that kind of seed will have '
a deteriorating effect." Mr. Loudermilk,
