With the passage of .acreage re-
duction measures by the Texas legis-
lature last week, some people were
confident that it would serve to
raise the price of this year’s crop.
It may have some effect for the
better later this year but if the
world market on spot cotton has felt
any apprehension over a cotton
shortage it was not evidenced when
the price dropped eleven points Mon-
day and Electra farmers sold mid-
dling staple for four and three-
fourths cents per pound.
An essay on cotton has been g>-
ing the rounds of the newspapers in
the cotton area, and we find it quite
aptly covers the subject. It is as
follows:

“COTTON”
“Cotton is the overcoat of a seed
that is planted and grown in south-
ern states to keep the producer
broke and the buyer crazy. The fiber
varies in color and weight, and the
man who can guess nearest the
length of the fiber is called ‘a cotton
man’ by the public, a fool by the I
farmer, and a poor business man by I
his creditors. j
“The price, of cotton is fixed in
New York and goes up when you
have sold ami down when you have,
bought.,

but they still hark back to the good
