COTTON AM MIXED UP
Spinners and speculators are indus-
triously working to beat down cot-
ton prices. The condition of the crop
on August 1 indicated u total pro-
duction of more than 12 1-2 million
bales in the United States and Okla-
home promised to produce about a
twelfth of it. Low grade cotton for
which there is no sale clogs the mar-
kets and there is much of it yet un-t-old
in Oklahoma.
A very sensible suggestion has
come from W. B. Thompson a cotton
factor in New Orleans who fully
realizes that producers of cotton
must have cost and at least a little
profit before the South can pros-
per. In a recent circular he says:
During the last three years low
grade cotton has been a grievous
burden upon the cotton industry.
During this period the supply of
grades than the higher grades. Even
when they can be sold at all thr
are sold at an enormous loss. Worse
than that the presence of an accum
ulation of unmerchantable stock in
are concerned.
The conclusion is that the cotton
farmer simply cannot afford to pro-
duce and market the lower grades.
These grades not only represent
an unbearable difference between the
production cost and the sale price.
They constitute a weapon with which
the producers antagonists may aa
sault him.
Do not harvest any grades lower
than middling.
As soon as cotton opens pick it as
rapidly and as carefully as possible;
have it ginned gradually; when ginned-
store it in a warehouse if one is avail-
able; if a warehouse is not available
take the cotton home build a shelter
for it put it on skids and from time
to time turn the bale over so that
all sides may be exposed to the air
sell when demand calls for it at sat-
isfactory prices.
Do not pick any rain or weather-
damaged cotton. When the weather
gets bad turn the cattle into the
fields. Do not let the damaged cot
ton stay to be picked later and sold
at ruinous discounts and in the mean
time to be used by your adversaries
in beating down the price of your
good grades. Destroy the low grade
cotton and thru such destruction fat-
ten your cattle and your own pock-
etbook. Advice as to when to sell cotton is
dangerous stuff. But surely there is
no use in picking cotton of such low
grade that it will little more than pay
for the picking and ginning when sold
if it can be sold at all. Beyond ques
tion the present supply of low grade
cotton has a depressing effect on
prices for good grades and the pro
duction of more poor stuff will still
further depress prices. Oklahoma
Farmer.
If "Advice as to when to sell cot

these damaged grades has been ab-.
normally large and the demand there- ton is dangerous stuff; what is to be
fore abnormally small. Low middling said of advice to destroy cotton f-
is quoted at 10 U-4 cents a pound less iter it is grown even though it be
than middling the next grade above of an inferior grade. That every
and good ordinary at 18 1-2 cents a means should be employed to produce
pound less than middling and own cotton of the better grades is true
at these discounts all the grades without question but that it is he
in qmstion have been and still are 'part of wisdom to destroy cotton of
practically unsalable. ' inferior grade after it is ready to har-
It costs more to pioduce these low est is at least doubtful.
Using Mr. Hester's figures. This
season starts with a carry over of
American cotton as follows.
Visablc Supply In America 1461-
the market is a depressing factor in-
so far ns the merchantable grades

tions 1703000.

American Mills 6350000 Foreign
Mills 6350000 Total 12700.000.
Leaving an indicated carry-over July
31 1921 7586000.
Any estimate now of consump-
tion of American cotton' 1920-21 win
only be tentative. During the forth-
coming twelve months international
trade and commerce should gradually
adjust themselves to more normal con-
ditions. If working people can lie
persuaded to increase production the
return of the world to happier anJ
more livable conditions will be has
tened. The adjustment will be slow
if they disregard their responsibilities.
Great Britian and all settled gov-
ernments lcgardless of their domitic
wants will make supreme efforts to
reduce the trade balance against them
and will bend every effort toward
large exports of manufactured goods
especially cotton goods. The condi-
tions however are such in Germany
Central Europe and Russia that we
feel that in venturing the estimate
of a probable foreign consumption of
American cotton of 6350000 bales
we are exceedingly the probabilities
building upon the belief that condi-
tions in Europe will soon turn for the
better.
The consumption in America is not
likely to exceed 6350000.
