Prior to lull when the great war!
broke out the heinhlh ot tin- South'
ambition 'j to sell its lo'ton for

for I'njton sold in the f- w years prior
to the war at fiolu iht to twelve
cents a pound l-'uriher than thai
a -n.'at i in iior.iliiiii org.tnled by
tannern was tniunil with a Mew to
holding enough i otton In warehouses
and holding fast to drive the price-
to fifteen ii-nts where we thought it
ought to be. and hold il thete.
In Kit.' the war In uk" out and the
Kuropeau demand for Ami t lean cot-
ton was nil - also one couldn't got
It across the water- -mil cotton .sold
away below production roMs and
It was in that year that some fellow
started the agitation to "liny a bale
of cottoh at ten cents a pound"
with the result that thousands of
business firms in the south bought
a bale at ten cents a pound and kept
it a long time
Then came a war demand for cot-
ton and pricies readied the Ideal
fifteen rents exceeded it. doubled
it and last fall the cotton sold ut
thirty-five rents a pound and up
ward. Hut that iva a war demand
abnormally stimulated in spile of a
big eiop witli a sutplf.s 1 1 om former
years.
When the aiinistiie was signed
the market went down and cotton
is selling now at about thirty-five
per cent that the highest point reach-
ed in the fall Thete Is no doubt
further taking the judgment of ex-
pel lent id cotton men that if the
south raised a htltnpei crop next
year prices will fall away down and'
we will be hard up on a fat crop.
A business man who is familiar
nilh the cotton situation told the
writer the oilier day that In his opin-
ion. If tlie fa rim rs do not plant less
cotton they are in his opinion doom-
ed to sell at a los. To iitiole him
. x.icily he .s.iid "Kxperieme has
taught us tli.it a ten million hale

south than a fifteen million bale

of the south persist in planting larsr I

ot tin- land that the iai liters expect

Itighl here we have th( keynote'
of the situation and the answer tn
the iiiestlon why the acreage usu-
ally increases when we aie all agtee-
lug to leiluee it One tanner get"
his head to working and figures it
out that the other lellow is going
to reduce his acreage v. hlch will
shorten tin crop and stimulate the
price and he just says to himself
