Last week when cotton was sel ling at 9)4 cents we took the stand that farmers should hold it for a better price. In less than five days after that article was published the price of cotton has advanced to io# cents. We beleive farmers should get 12 cents for their cotton cer tainly not less than 11. We had the pleasure of seeing our article on "Hold Your Cotton' in last week's paper copied by sev eral papers which gave ns no cred it for it, however they believed we were right and adopted our sen timent. We cannot understand why they didn't give us credit for it unless they thought it would hsve more force not to name THK ENTERPRISE and let the reader im agine it was the work of some great daily. -—> The Manufacturer's Record of Baltimore has written bankers all over the South asking information on the cotton situation, some of the characteristics we give below. Falling on la Yield. W. S. Maegden, cashier Citizens Exchange Bank, Troy, Texas: The acreage as compared with last year was reduced about 20 per cent., and the shortage being given to diversified farming. The cost of picking is slightly less than last year. Weather conditions have been very good, permitting pick ing to be carried on rapidly. Pick is about two-thirds completed, aud with three more weeks favorable weather the bulk of the crop will be picked. Farmers are in excel lent condition to hold their crop for higher prices, and there is somt disposition ou their part to holu for higher prices, but very little i.- being held yet, though we believi that if the price continues to de cline considerable will be held. Cotton in this section, will make about one-fourth bale per acre, while last year it made fully one half bale per acre. Receipts Much Reduced.*- R. L. Watson, direc tor First State Hank, Otectola, Tex. Business is tuirly good, taking in consideration the .thou crop. Farmers are marketing their cotton as fast as they get it read> for the market. The outlook tor cottou yield is very light compared with last year. The yield will be about one-third of a bale per acre in this section. Taking the country over the acreage was reduced ahont 25 per ceut. from last year ou account of the late rains iu the spring We have an abundance of laborers to gather the cotton crop at a deceas ed price from last year. There will be very little cotton held for higher prices in this section this year. Very tew farmers can hold. There is is about 40. per cent, oi the crop gathered at present and sold in this section. At this date last year this place had received about 1500 bales. This year to date receipt show something over 600 bales. Plant Has Finished Making. Albert H. Chalk, cashier Bank of Hickory, Hickory, Miss.: The yield in this section will be quite small as compared with other years. Ido not think there will be more than 60 per certf. of a crop made. The plant has finished mak ing as cool weather has come, and ia now all open in the field. La bor is scarce, which is delaying picking very much. The acreage to at least 10 per cent, less than that of last year. The farmers in this section are able to and will bold their crop for 10 cents per pound or more. Some will hold for 11 cents. The season has been favorable for gathering, which would have been further advanced bad labor been more plentiful The corn crop in this section is fair. orderad condition of «wl is quickly cored by Chamber Withdraw Pram Market. Mc. N. Moore, cashier Bank of Morton, Miss.: Cotton acreage reduced io per cent, and conditions deteriorating Picking is fairly good; labor plent iful; inci eased cost of picking 5 per cent. Farmers are financially able to hold for higher prices snd disposed to sell for 10 cents, but when decline below 10 cents the> withdraw from market. The Short age in acreage waa given to diver sified farming, and results are more grain and foodstuffs. Han Enough Supplies lor Two Tears. J. G, Godard, cashier Bank ol Martin County, Williamston N. C. The yield in this (Martin) Coun ty as compared with 1904 will bt 75 per cent., and the acreage was reduced as compared with last yeai about 15 per cent. The plant is in good condition, and picking is progressing rspidly, with sufficient labor for housing the crop, withfew exceptions in some por tions of the county. The cost of picking is probably increased 10 per cent. The majority ol farmers are financially able to hold cotton for higher prices, but seem disposed to sell at around 10 cents but do not think they will, should it decline to 9 cents. The short age in the cotton acreage was giv en over to diversified farming with very satisfactory results. Quite a number of our farmers have pro duced enough grain and foodstuffs to supply them for two years. Fair Price Will be Asked. John A. Horton, cashier Farm ers Bank, Belton, S. C : We consdier the yield about 65 per ceut. of an average crop. The acreage was reduced about 10 to 1 a per ceut. T{ie picking is tar ad vanced; most cotton well kept up with picking; labor fairly abundant The farmers are in excellent con dition for holding the balance of their cottou. It will take 10 to 11 cents to get the bnlk of the crop. Since price dropped below 10 cents scarcely any being marketed. Fast as ginned, stored or hauled home. We consider the crop only medi um size and farmers are determin ed to hold cotton until they get .vhat they consider a fair price. Plant Still Small John D. Verner, president Bank of Walliallu, Walhnlla, S. C.: From present outlook don't think this year's yield of cotton in Aeon county will exceed 60 per cent, of last year. Think acreage in cot ton reduced about 10 per cent, as compared with last year. Present condition of plant is small, and picking about three-fourths over. Labor scarce; cost about same as last year for picking (40 cents per 100 pounds). Our fanners are in better shape financially than last year and are inclined to hold cottou for better prices as recommended by Southern Cotton Association. The general opinion seems to be that present crop will not exceed 10,000,000 bales. The shortage in teres was devoted to grain in this oounty, which will enable the farm ers to live at home.
