RAINS AND CLOUDY WEATHER
PRACTICALLY ASSURES A BUM
PER COTTON CROP. MUCH FOR-
AGE BEING PLANTED.
r.eiieficial rains within the past
week nave added Kreutiy 10 me col
ton crop arcordini; to statements of
some ol the progressive fanners ot
this county who say tlmt with a lati
ro-t date practica'ly assures the bi
iresi cotton crop raised nere in sev
eral years.
The rain fall followed by cloudy
weather tends to hold all the crop al
readv on the stalks but will nlso put
on more and mature tlie same nice
ly as there will not likely lie any
more blasting hot days as in the past
and the plant will be given the very
lies' opportunity to grow and matuie
The rain has also encouraged the
planting of much forage cane and mil
et. all of which will have time to 111a
lure with a favorable season which
is probable from now on hundreds
ot acres ot turnips and other tall vege
tables will be planted following the
rain all of which will be beneficial to
the people of this vicinity and help
tide over the baneful effects of the
European war and its tendency to lov
er the price of cotton and advance
the price of food stuffs.

NATIONAL WAREHOUSE SYSTEM
IS PROPOSED. FEAR PRICE RE
DUCTION CONFERENCE WILL
FURTHER CONSIDER.
Washington Aug. 13. A conferenci
of the southern cotton congress in
(lulling representatives from all tin
cotton growing stales will be held
tomorrow to adopt a concrete plan
to relieve the situation brought about
by the Kuropean war and which plan
nill be presented to the committees
of congress. Itefore the house commit
tee on agriculture E. J. Watson com
niissioner of agriculture of South Car
olina and president of the southern
cot.on conference said that .i uiona!
warehouse system would partially
sohe the cotton problem for future-
years as well as this.
Tomorrow Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia will offer a bill oil the subject.
The Smith bill provides for ware-
houses licensed by the department of
agriculture and governed by rules-
of and inspected by the department
from which warehouse receipts ran b.
issued and given a recognized statu-
throughout the country.
Mr. Watson said the south would
have to take care of about !000.ihmi
hales surplus crop and that his organ
ization was investigating the amount
of warehouse space available now. IK-
made it plain that the cotton raisei
as not asking the government for
valorization of the cotton crop along
the line ISrazil did its coffee crop but
that they wanted the situation pro-
tected In a business like way. A plan
advanced said he was for tiie Federal
Reserve Hank organization to reiiuiri
regional banks to discount for member
banks paper issued on cotton proper-
ly warehouse and insured and the is
suance or national bank notes to lie
deposited with banks and taen as se-
curity paper on cotton.
Cotton Seed Problem.
Mr. Watson told the committee that
a phase of the situation to which littl"
attention has been given concerned
the cotton seed. He said the markets
of Norway Denmark and Sweden were
closed to the United States and that
if tlie farmer was to hold tlie 3oniiioii
hales the cotton organization would
urge him to hold it in the seed.
It is highly important that t ie
Smith-Lever cotton futures bill and
legislation along the line of the Lever
cotton grading bill be put Into effect
before the exchanges reoDen." said
Ir. Watson.
A provision could be carried into ti:e
'atter bill protecting all contracts as
of the date the exchanges closed but
nl ss remedies are afforded the spec-
ulator may be expected to play havoc
vlth the price of cotton.
He predicted that if the speculator
ot the upper hand cotton would Le
forced to 4c per pound.
For the first time since the Civil
11
1
War lie said cotton had not been able
to nke care of Itself.
Kone Addresses Committee.
Kd. I!. Cone Commissioner of Agri
culture for the state of Texas ex
plaineil to the committee the situation
in that state and urged that congress
ought to Kiuie t othe relief of both the
large and small cotton man. Without
government relief through legislation
lie s;iic!. Die farmer would not be able
to thh' himself over the bud period.
"The fanner should be able to get
from .in to $."0 per bale for his cot-
ton" siid .Mr. Kone. "It would he en-
tirel sale at $.M1 per bale for as soon
as tlie war is over you will find cot-
ton jumping to L'dc per pound." Mr.
Kone said that he commissioned twen
ty me. 1 by wire to attend the collier-
cnci tomorrow anil that he expected
the conference would be able to pre-
sent a Concrete plan to the coinnii'
tees h l iiday or Saturday.
(Varies St. Clair of (lalveston. vice
president and general manager of the
United states Cotton corporation said
offers I id been made to ship his com-
pain s Mittou asking what per cent
would tie loaned on it anil what the
charges would be for storing and in-
surliij. He added that with proper
facilities the state of Texas could
care for a great deal of the surplus
crop ol that state.
I'epresentative Caruer of Texas re
ccIm d a letter from (!ov. Cohuitt fur-
ther miilining his proposition for the
government to loan the farmer $."ii
per hale on cotton (lov. Cohiiitt call-
ed attention to the government send
illg large sums of money to the hanks
to aid in handling cotton ami that
the chances were the hanks would
loan the money to speculators to pur-
chase Hie staple and that the produc-
ers of cotton would not be benefited
as much as the government's aid
ought in assist them. If the money is
only going through banks he adds
the law ought to stipulate that the
hanks were not to advance the money
for speculation hut should loan it to
fanners on wareehouse receipts and
lit a maximum rate of 3 per cent.
Garner Writes Gov. Colquitt.
A reply went to (lov. Cohpiitt from
Mr. (larner siiggestin gthere would
be no legislation giving financial relief
to the country that was not based on
a sound banking system lie said lu-
ll id not think the government would
loan money directly to the farmer
merchant mine owner or other class
but that assistance iu the absence of
other legislation would have to conn
through avenues iilfofded Ky the
amended Ahlrieh-Vreeland law.
Senator Sheppard and Hepresonta
live Mimners ol I exits received 11
telegram from Itoyal -A. Ferris presi
dent of the National Currency Asso
ciation at Dallas suggesting an amend
ment to th currency act so that a
hank could obtain up to per cent
of its capital and surplus on coiumer
eta 1 paper lie said there were no
bonds there and that a maximum of
30 per cent on commercial paper as
proposed in the present law would
not give sufficient relief.
May Extend Limit.
The suggestion of Mr .Ferris Is met
in the amendment of Senator Itansdell
of Louisiana to the recently amended
Ahlrieh-Vreeland law in which It b
undertaken to allow hanks to secure
the limit of 125 per cent of their capi-
tal and surplus on commercial paper.
The amendment also proposes that
warehouse receipts as defined shall be
considered commercial paper. As the
result of the conference between treas-
ury officials and Representative Stun
ners It is understood the former
would be willing to have the law
amended to go above the 30 per cent
limitation on commercial paper pro-
viding the paper is based oil staple
igrlctiltural products. The conference
did not develop what the new limit
should be.
