King Ootton wilt regain hie throne this fall. : The strongest period in the reign of the monarch of the South was in the yeate of 1904 when hia stock went to 16 65 and the year of 1910 when his grip was the firmest the world has ever known, or rather the "later dav cottcn ; , .. , , .- wajld. Ttoe price of cotton that year reaihtd thbigh water mark of 19.75 and stayed up for somo Lttie time After the phenomenal jump in the prioe of the 1910 staple, the farmers of the S.nth went cotton- mad, with the result that nearly every planter had his entire acre age in cotton. The mult was al- uKSt a disaster to the farmers last year when the bottom drop ped out of the market and the prioe went to rook-bottou levels. When the warehouses of the South were filled with the left over cotton of the large yield, and all of the markets were flooded with the staple, the men of the ootton belt began to devise mtans to keep the farmers from repeat ing the folly of last year, John G. Anderson of Rock Hill thought ont the idea of forming what la ter beoame known as the "Rrok Hill plan." The idea was for every farmer who had been in the habit of raising any cotton to make a reduction of 20 per cent of hia entire aoreage of the staple. The plan wa taken op-by a num ber of States and the idea - was oarried out by thousands of far mers throughout the ootton re gion. The prospects for a small crop this year are very good. A num ber of Charlotte ootton merchants were 'asked to make some forecast for the year's crop and pries. Without an exception, the buyers and sellers predicted a crop of 12;000,000to 14,000.000 bales to be ginned this year in the ootton belt. When asked to give some definate answer- as to why they figured the crop to be so muoh smaller than the one last year. they gave various reasons. Ooe man stated that the orop would not reach 12.000,000 bales, and that a orop of that sire meant that the prioe would join the up ward movement and go to 15 cents or over. He. stated that he nad been study ug the condi tions of the cotton belt and found them very unfavorable to the rais- i m a Knmnaf AVAti s K a at He gave as his reasons that the eastern part of the o tton belt bad soffared heavily from the rains of the season peat and that the stalks ere sappy nd runted. The orop of cotton is later than it should be and that he is of the opinion that an early frost may catch the orop In the westean section of the belt, he said there had been a scarcity of rain and that the crop was Buffering from that reason. He expressed a firm belief that the price would resoh 15 ooutB a pmnd for spots in the fall, and that if the conditions got any worse, the price may rfaoh that of 1904 when it went to 16.65.
