FUTURE COTTON CROP SELLING A
HANDICAP.
The leaders of the National and
I Cotton Growers Association in
their efforts to sustain the farmers
y in holding their cotton for higher
prices, or rather for fifteen cents,
lose sight of a most important
tor, which plays a leading part, if
cotton is to be sustained and sold at
any minimum price in the future.
This the future cotton sell-
of cotton farmers.
Since cotton has reached ten cents
and above, the price has been one
which has satisfied the majority of
farmers, specially those who have
struggled in years past, and raised
cotton to be sold around six cents.
Therefore cotton selling at ten
cents in the winter months, or even
this figure, a good many
farmers have been willing to enter
into the sale of their prospect-
cotton crop at prices about the
same as might be prevailing during
the winter months, so that cotton
, buyers in seine sections practically
controlled the entire acreage
for the season.
There is no question but that in
the past two years, many farmers
have done well by thus selling their
future crop of cotton, for when they
were prepared to market their cot-
ton, the then prevailing market
price was in some instances one to
k two cents lower than the price at
which they had contracted to sell
d at they were delivering
heir staple. This baa given the
farmer a new position, in the
crop selling, and when cotton
has reached eleven cents, it has not
hard for cotton buyers to make
for the next cotton crop.
Two things result from this. The
grower who thus sells is out
f the market, so far as being able
CO operate with as-
for his output belongs to
someone besides himself, and it
must also follow that having con-
his crop at some fixed price,
the farmer going to put in so
great an acreage as possible, and
this again removes him from enter-
any movement that the
association may try to make up for a
reduced acreage.
Thus it is that this future crop
of cotton by the farmer, must
prove a sci handicap to those
who may try to have any minimum
price, or who seek to have a
movement of the. farmers to
reduce their acreage.
Whether this future crop selling
is a wise thing the individual
farmer to do, another question.
it is only as to its effect on the
association that is now

Reynolds and Gainsborough.
The contrast between these two
great artists, and
borough, is almost tho difference
between art and nature. Reynolds
WU learned in what other painters
had done and had reduced his own
art in a system. Gainsborough
found almost everything for him-
the simple, natural
way of looking at things and people
and painted not according to rule,
but the dictates of what he felt.
Reynolds planned out his effects;
Gainsborough painted on the spur
of the impression which the
aroused. art was based
on safe, general principles. Gains-
borough's was the fresh and
expression of his tempera-

Yawning For Health.
A German expert on gymnastic
announces that one need not go ti
a well known equipped gymnasium
in search of a course of health
exercises. Deep yawning
as a regular exercise is the
cheapest and surest road to perfect
health. We ore still familiar with
the theory that systematic
breathing is an excellent thing for
the lungs, and it is on similar
grounds that yawning is
mended. The expansion of the
breast bones and the stretching o;
the arms which accompany a whole-
hearted yawn, together with the fill-
of the lungs, form a splendid
daily exercise.

their eagerness to grasp a small
profit dump their cotton on mar

the very object of the Southern
