Don’t Forget the Cotton
Convention Here Wednesday
Don’t forget the Cotton Convention which meets in the court
house on Wednesday at 10 o’clock. This is the biggest meeting and of far more value
than any you have attended in a long day. The situation is alarming and unless
something is done another large crop of cotton with one on hand and every
farmer knows there is a lot of cotton in the hands of the farmers even will
spell ruin to them and the South if the matter is not looked after.
Let every farmer in the county come to Wilson prepared to
agree to cut his cotton acreage and put that much land in something to eat and
if this is done the price of cotton will not only be increased, but we will
have plenty of food to take care of our families without buying it. Under
present conditions the western farmer is guaranteed a big price for his wheat
on account of the great demand for foodstuffs at home and abroad.
Every pound of cotton raised this year not only helps to
decrease the price of that you have on hand, but also helps to increase the
price of the western farmer’s food products, because it makes an automatic market
for his produce to the detriment of cotton.
