farmers anc return to them and all
other people at a cost of $22,000,000 -

wa*. It was impossible to "glut" the i
market, w mething, quite ur usual, a |
principal which had never prevai.ed 1
before, at least in the memory of this
generation. It must be remembered,
too, that no new supply of these cropß
has been- found, no more than were an
titipated last fall, then why a 6c drop
in cotton?
Who dropped the market? It is i
supposed it was a Palm Beach party
that lowered the price of cotton.
They apparently think the life of the ,
cotton exchange is gore if the cot
tor. association prospers. So then a
good way to kill it is to pay high
prices in October, November and De- ■
cember and then let the association
face a depressed market. One thing
su'-e the'farmer has something to
i
figh' beside the floods and the storms j
and the pests he has the fellow look- ,
ing on who wats more out of his j
!al; r than he is getting himself. That i
is the fellow who needs attention.
