on- Cotton Seed High Pasha to revoke Cl
ed his orders or stop his mills for the B
of best season of the year, and he cannot Ic
eit very well afford to do that. C
on- They will devise means of selling
the the seed by shipping it to St. Louis,
of Memphis, Atlanta, to mills which
f of are not in the trust, and, if necessary,
rein paying the freight on it. It is a thous
ion. and times better for the planter to sell
will his seed at $8 not to mills which are
not in the trust, than to sell it to
;leC mills at home who desire to crush him a
g of as they do his seed.
inds They will devise plans by which
and planters can have their own mills, and
omi- operate them at a profit, and thus get
ican good prices for their seed; for if the

willing to give usa good price for our
mbers seed, we can afford to shut up our mill,
of the if it do not pay to crush; anud if he is
auty not willing to give us a good price, we
