happy to say came from the po

from those members who pro

statement intended only for po

government statements have
with rare exceptions, proven re
liable, as shown by the fact that
almost invariably they tally
dosely with the actual yield at
the close of the season, exceed
ing the output, now and then
aut little, and in a few instances
xung less. The spinners’ esti

to sell. He has corn, hay, oats,

promising as possible. By this
means he endeavors to bear the
market. On the contrary, it
stands the cotton grower in hand
to underate the outlook of the
growing crop, for in market
parlance he is a bull. The gov
ernment, being a disinterested
party, is interested only in get
ting at true conditions, and this
it usually does.
But it is desirable from the
standpoint of the cotton grow
er that estimates of the growing
crop should be made for by this
means only can there be obtain

probable supply. This knowl
edge enables him to determine
the intrinsic value of the crop.
Without it the grower would be
entirely at the mercy of the spe

suiuie necessity uut nis cotton,
therefore, the cotton must go,
no matter what its price may
be. He would like to hold it
longer, until he can secure for
it a price that will remunerate
him for the labor incident to its
production but can not do so.
The convention fixed upon
fifteen cents as the minimum
price for this year’s crop. This
may be a good idea and it may
not. Much will depend upon the
extent of the crop and the de
mand for same. Much aiso will
depend upon the purchasing ca
pacity of the consumer. At
tempts to fix prices, regardless
of the inexorable law of
supply and demand, are rare
ly successful. our years:
ago the farmers’ union tried
holding their cotton until the
price of fifteen cents was reach
ed, and the result was disas
trous. Too much cotton had
been produced to justify the
price. Mills could not secure
orders for goods at prices that
warranted the payment of fif
teen cents for the raw product,
and the cotton remained in the
warehouses, and much cotton
that in January or February
might have been disposed of at
twelve and thirteen cents sold
two months later at eight and
nine cents.—Fort Smith News
