Cotton sold in Albany Monday
and Tuesday at from 10.30 to
10.40 cents per pound. This
price is very encouraging to the
farmer and is pleasing to all in-
terested in the welfare of the
country. But this is not all.
The price promises to be even
better than it is now. It is
claimed by many who have made
a careful study of the cotton sit-
uation that it will certainly go
to 12 cents and possibly to 15
cents a pound. The Southern
Ruralistof Atlanta makes this
claim. It says that the surplus
from last year's crop is now
2,000,(XX) bales and that the pres-
ent crop cannot possibly go over
12,000,000 bales and will not
likely reach that figure. In such
la case, the demand for cotton is
| bound to make the price go up.
Its very insistant injunction is
j to hold the cotton oil" the market
for rtiis better price.

FRIDAY-, SEPT. 24. 1!)15.
Today is given us by Him to
whom belong days we have the
i wer to use it as we please; we
are responsible for us proper
use; how important that we do
the projier work of today in the
sphere of today!
— Abraham Lincoln.
the only way to be sure of a cot-
ton crop here is to plant it early
enough to insure a pretty good
fruitage of bolls before the work
of the weevil begins.
It is pretty certain that the
j big loan will be made to the
I Allies. According 10 the opin-
ion of some, it w II be a good
thing for the country to make
i this loan, enabling us thereby to
j sell our surplus commodities.
| According to others, it will be a
1 great mistake. They say we may
need the surplus cash more than
we need to sell the surplus goods.
If the loan is made, we shall
soon begin to know which is the
correct prognostication.
JUDGE COFFEE GETS A VISION.
Judge S. C. Coffee returned
Monday from a business trip to
Wichita Falls. There he met
Edgar Rye, who wrote "The
Quirt and the Spur," was one
must have in order to make these
various natural industries profit-
able and productive are develop-
ing factories and plants. These
must be gone after, bought as it
were, as Wichita Falls has bought
them. To get these developing
industries here, men who have
money must spend it, he says,
and by spending it they will in-
crease in wealth and the town
will grow.
And not until then, in his judg-
ment, will Albany grow. With-
out an effort on the part of the
people who live here to develop
the town, will the town grow.
This is the kind of imaginative
stufr that cities are made of.
This is the infection that Judge
Coffee caught on his visit. If
the infection spreads in Albany
and becomes sufficiently deep
seated, we may have a city here
some day. Otherwise, not so.
It is only by boosting, spend-
ing, and working that the town
can be made to grow.
Remember the First Saturday
in October is the next Trades
Day. Come to Albany on that
occasion. We expect you.
Good wheat sold in Albany
this week for one dollar a bushel.
Mr. Nail thinks that there is not
a great deal of wheat in tin-
country now. It has been sell-
ing pretty constantly but nut
rapidly all the time since harvest
and the biggest part of it is gone.
We hear much about the rav-
ages of the boll weevil. It has
done much damage locally and
the crop will consequently lie
quite short. Its destructive work
is reported widespread over the
state and over other Southern
states. It is suggested that about
As a result of the work of the
boll weevil and the heretofore
prevailing low prices, it appears
that the cotton acreage in Shack-
elford will be greatly decreased
next year. Much small grain is
now being sown and farmers are
talking of sowing the land now
in cotton just as noon as the crop
can be gathered. We believe
that it is well for each farmer to
sow some grain, but it is as pos-
sible to go to the extreme in one
direction as in another. We can
have too much wheat as well as
too much cotton. A diversified
crop is the balanced one. It is
also safest and sanest. When
the farmer has several crops
which will bring him money, lie
is pretty sure to get some of the
coveted art icle.
University Station. — In

the State Farmers Institute

sity of Texas, J. A. Kiernan, of
