Ami Cotton Seed Worth One Hundred Dollars a Ton. The following Information was gain ed at the World's Cotton Conference. New Orleans, La.: English spinners will make' arrange ment to buy three million bales of Aiu!uw.eii.iia 'lctloiv. less than a len minidfl bale 'Cr6f.'T!lig - lish and American spinners have very little cotton on hand. They are mak ing Immense fortunes on account of high prices received for their goods. They could now pay the farmers sixty cents for cotton, based ou wiling price of cloth. Spinners are excited over the shortage of our productlun. They have millions tied up in equipment and hundreds of thousands of lalsirers de pendent on them for work and must have cotton. The American farmers have a limited supply of cotton aud can ami will get forty cents by hold ing same. It takes twelve months to grow cotton. It -should be marketed through a period of twelve months and not forced on the market in three months. This year's crop was produc ed on war time price basis. And with four successive short crops the world will face a cotton famine next June. ' Cotton Seed. Thousands of tons of cotton seed In Texas ou account of Incessant rains have sprouted and ruined in the fields. Iii previous years cotton seed oil mills crushed thousands of tons of peanuts. Today peanuts are selling for $100.00 per ton for shelling purposes and mills cannot buy them for crushing. There fore cotton seed oil will have no com petition with peanut oil. Heretofore thousands tif heads of hogs have ts?en fattened on cheap peanuts. Peanuts w'lll ail Im harvested and thus the suii ply of fats from this source will be curtailed. And cotton seed oil will certainly lie in great demand. There will be practically no peanut meal pro duced and "thus cotton seed meal will have .little competition as stock feed. It la one of the best protein feeds on the market and will seel for-much higher prices. Therefore based on these facts, I beg farmers to tenaciously hold on to their cotton and seed until the above prices are obtained. Copies of this telegram were mailed to every weekly newspaper In the cot ton producing states and to the Com missioners of Agriculture..
