PRESIDENT JORDAN TO
THE COTTON GROWERS
Urges United Action and Says
Farmers Can Get Ten Cents
For Their Cotton.
President Harvey Jordan of the
Southern Cotton Association, has
issued the following statement to
the farmers and business men of
the South.
iveuueijoil m aim a ucu
ter system of marketing the cotton
crop is the solution to the busi
ness problem of the South, offered
to the cotton growers. The one
is for the purpose of disposing of
h two million-hale surplus and the
other to relieve a condition which
compels the producer to become
the victim of over-production.
The Southern Cotton Associa
tion is not a class proposition. It
is big enough to take every man
in who wants to help us win the
tight. There is no conflict between
us in any lint' of business in the
South and there never will be.
The cotton company is the re
sult of the New Orleans conven
tion. We realized that we had
this surplus of 2,000,000 bales and
that the Southern people should
take care of it, and that to do so
it would have to he held. Our
plan is to get up a stock company
of #10,000,000. Hut we are going
to wait until May 1 before we be
gin this. We can't tell until then
whether the acreage is going to
be reduced, and uidess it is reduc
ed we won't ask you to hold a bale
live minutes.
Am ther solution of the cotton
problem is to get broader markets
for our cotton. There are p00,
000,000 pmple in Asia who ought
to be wearing our cotton on their
backs. (iet the world to eonsum-,
ing 25,000,000inst -adof Io,o00,oo0
bales.
\ farmer who doesn't reduce
his acreage is an enemy to his
country as well as to himself. I
think that this is one time the
American fanner is going to liv"
up to what he says. They are gi>‘
ing to reduce their acreage. They
have held their cotton since l>ee.
I*, and the value of the surplus
they have held has increased *2.~>.
<100,000. This fact has not only
surprised the buyers and specula
tors, but it has received their com
mendation.
HOW TO UIT TKN CKNTS.
If we make but 0,000,000 bales
'T’UE body gets its life from
* fcxxl properly digested.
Healthy digestion means pure
blood for the bodj . bift stomach
troubles arise from carelessness
in eating and stomach disorders
upset the entire system. Improp
erly masticated food sours on the
stomach, causing distressing
pains, belching and nausea.
When over-eating is per isted in
the stomach becomes weakened
and worn out and dyspepsia
claims the victim.
I Thedford’s Black-Draught
i cures dyspepsia. It frees the
stomach and bowels of congested
matter and gives the _ stomach
new life. The stomach is quickly
invigorated and the natural
stimulation results in a good
appetite, with the power to thor
oughly digest food.
You can build up your stomach
with this mild and natund
reinedv. Try Thedford s Biack
Draugbt today. You can buy a
package from your dealer for
25c. If he does not keep it, send
the money to The Chattanooga
Medicine Co., Chattanooga,
Tenn., and a package will bo
mailed you.
THEDFORDS
(LACK-DRAUGHT,
of cotton this year we can sell it
for 10 cents. If we make another
13,000,000 bale crop we can not
get more than 5 cents for it. It
ought to be higher than 10 cents.
Consul Smyth in England writes
that the Lancashire spinners are
organizing to keep American cot
ton within 12 cents per pound.
They are afraid it will go to 13
cents.
There never has been such de
mand for cotton goods. Hold
your cotton, reduce your acreage
and learn how to market your pro
duct. When you learn how to
market it you will make a net
profit of £'2i)o,ooo,ono.
1 want the business men and
merchants to come into this move
ment. We can't antagonize the
business interests of the country
and hope to succeed. We must
combine them and then tight for a
common cause and a common
purpose. The business of the
South would not be much without
the cotton crop.
