m COTTON CROP REPORTING.
■Philadelphia Record.
■t. Cotton dropped $7 a hale in New
Hfork and .s!> in New Orleans on the
■kgricnltural Depart mint's estimate of
■|le crop., which was 101,000 bales
than tint cstiniare of two weeks
"Crop estiinares must vary
Hvith the vicissitudes of the weather
Hind the quotations will respond to the
estimates, but the Agricultural
record of crop estimates
Bias not, been entirely satisfactory.!
HsVarly 2,000.0000 bales had to be j
Htdded to what had been intended as'
■he final report of the year a few |
■tears ago in order to correspond witii'
■he statistics of distribution, and a
Houple of years ago the Secretary of
HStgricultui'c suni'nened a board of bns-
Hness men. economists and bankers to
■onsider the whole subject of cotton
■sporting. Possibly increased care
Bias been taken since, but the system
Hs unchanged.
V The cotton growers and, at least
Bn part, the commercial interests in
Botfon have long protested against
■ymi-mnntlily estimate-; of the crop.
■ jgvain the department makes fore-
B»stS monthly, but ; t insists ~n m ak-
Hhk Ifemi-inonihiy fm-e.-asis of cotton.
■Where its general record is weaker
■Mn in grain. It turns a deaf ear to
Bale protests of growers and mamifar-
that these semiuimmlily esti-
Baates promote speculation and keep
Hthe quotations dancing up and down
Bxasperatingly.
;In the last two weeks tin- depart
ment's estimate of the crop increased
191.000 bales. In the two weeks pre
ceding it decreased 230.900 Imies. In
the two weeks before that it increased
134.000 bales. The earliest esfmate
d( the season, the middle of dune, was
14,339.000 hales. In the middle of
Inly the figures dropped 731.000 bales.
Df course, the crop may have actually
lone off that amount in the four
Weeks due to the weather. Hut that
« about as great n change us the mar
ket can assimilate. A change every
two weeks is trying to the nerves.
: For example, take the latest four
Weeks. It shows a decrease of 39,000
bales. That is not. a great ehange in
four weeks. But the lour weeks was
broken by the estimate as of Septem
ber Ist. That broke the month into
two periods in the first of which there
wa sa drop of 230.000 bales and in the
second a rise of 191,000 bales. That
.Sort of thing -s tine for the specula
tors, who live on fluctuations, but it
j»S rather wearing on the growers who
»n't tell when to sell, and the mill
turners who are uncertain when to
buy.
. It is ft question whether the depart*
rnenP ought to give quantitive esti
mates of either cotton or grain. It
used to give conditions, and the inter
ested parties could figure out the quan
tities. Os course, it made the bulle
ins more newsy to convert conditions
uto bushels and bales. It is also a
(jpestion whether the estimating is as
good as it can be. Os course, the de
partment tries to make it so. Possi
bly its methods could be improved, fl
Ijßut in any case, if it reported the cot
s ton crop only once a month it would
[be responsible for'fewer sharp changes
in price.

Toward Better Things And Times For Yourself - Or
Are You Satisfied With Your Own Little Niche?
/ It is easy to acquire the habit of sitting back and wishing you had one of those big enclosed \
/ f ars y®« rolling past home every minute of the day and evening—a car to fill with your fam- \
i ° r rlend ? a , n . d do s 2P e rol!in g of y° ur own - When you stop to think of it you are in a rut at \
m that stage of things. The realization of that fact is the first step toward getting out of it. Now %
m why not ride out of it in one of the big, powerful motor cars The Concord Tribune and Times %
M will award to successful workers in their SIO,OOO automobile and cash campaign within a few %
m short weeks? There are four of these cars and thousands of dollars in cash which must be ' W
m awarded at the end of this campaign. You can be one of the winners if you will it so. Compe- #
\ tition is slight now. The contest is just starting to gather momentum. Get in now and see how M
\ simple it is to realize your ambitions. Many of you who read this have been considering partic- ’ #
i ipating in this distribution of prizes. Act on your impulse today. Campaign headquarters is lo- /
V cated m Room 209 Cabarrus Savmgs Bank building. The mail address is Box 431, Concord. /
\ The telephone number is 579. /
REMEMBER
THAT The Biggest Prize, a twenty-one hunded dollar Buick Brougham, can be won in ANY
district.
THAT— -Each and every district must win one of the cars and a complete set of cash prizes regard
less of their relative standing with other districts.
THAT Every active contestant wins something— either one of the major prizes or 10 per cent,
cash commission on every dollar they secure in subscriptions to the Tribune or Times.
THAT— AII pnzes will be awarded by accredited votes, and that more votes are given NOW dur
ing the first period than will be given at any time during the remainder of the campaign,
there will positively be NO bonus votes given at any time during the election other than
originally outlined in the opening announcement.
Reduced Vote Schedule
Contrary to the plan usually followed The Tribune and Times plan calls for a reduction of votes
as the campaign progresses. In the campaign the last week is the least important because the sub
scriptions then count for so few votes. Live contestants who are on the job ought to cinch one of
the cars within the next few weeks before the vote schedule is cut. It can be done. Perhaps vou
will do it. v J
Remember the standing published is always for votes received up to noon the day before the
date of publication.
Now if you’re “in” go to work. Win. If you are still "thinking” about entering—get in You
can win.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
CAMPAIGN NOTES
Recent starters have proved the contention that
wide awake persons entering this campaign now
are under no material handicap. If you have been
watching the vote score column you can not help
but notice that new names are already steadily
climbing toward the peak. All that it takes is a
bit of that “go-get-them” spirit that will win in
any field of endeavor.
Take a look at District No. 2 and No. 3 partic
ularly and see the story told there. There must be
some of you rural people who have the desire to
claim that support of your section which is merely
waiting for someone to take advantage of it. We
know there are going to be regrets later. It is the
ones who look forward, and not backward, who will
win the big prizes in this competition.
Stop and figure that it is possible to make bet
ter than S2OO per week on the side, or $l7O a week,
or $l4O a week, or SIOO a week, or a sum for the
whole time of S2OO, or SIOO or a few dollars on a
10 per cent, cash commission basis. You win in ac
cordance with what you do. Nobody loses. Now,
is that fair? If yoU think it is then you should be in

on it. If you think it is not, then you should stay
out. i
We venture to say that everyone in the county
knows that The Cabarrus County Fair is to be held
this year on October 13-17. You know it is the big
gest thing of its kind in the State of North Caro
lina.- You know you expect to go at least one day
and hope to be there oftener. Here’s something you
don’t know yet/ The Tribune and Times will have
on display at the faiir the four automobiles which
are to be given away in this campaign for everyone
to see. Now don’t find yourself in a position of re
gretting that you are not working for one of them
when you see them. Instead be one of those who
will say, “There are the cars, one of which I am
working sos and am going to win.”_ That is the
spirit that will accomplish things in this campaign.
Start now so that you will be orte of the contenders
at fair time and see if you will be sorry.
The office of the campaign department will be
open until 9:00 each evening to issue supplies and
give information. Call in this evening and have it
all explained to you in detail.
