Movement looking to a reduction

taay awiM taeir appearance
tba tbnc of ilM first drop )n
altar the mw crop begin rea-
tka market, fend Mtnethnes a
jftcw of thorn toot a late as tbe follow
ing Jaaoarjr.
Bat tkloi fall the movements seem
'to nafo more force behind them than
tonal, and a diffusion of sentiment
favoring reduction next year ap-
pear to be widespread, i
' The infant of sch movements, of
oonrte, U based upon the assumption
vttwt a smaller crop of cotton will
vlirtat higher prko. Were the adve-'
rTsntoa of iiuch movements confronted
the question. "What Is the dif-
'feMnoa between reducing the quantity
.. a oonabHMUon en tfco part or
'.watkana to restrict output In order to
iteot a tJmiliar result?" the question
night prow embaraesing.
i On the other htind of the grotocrs
i' of cotton eould continue to produce
'the normal amount of cotton fqrtho
world's market and at the sairio-tlmo
reduce ttrtlr own coats of 'production
the consumer would' not be confronted
with the burden of an increased price,
while the farmer would achieve his
desired objective of more money n't
the end of the season. -
A program of reducing the coat ,o
producing cotton is no less foatlblo
than an attempted movement to cut
Um acreage in a region where cotton
la tba staple crop, The acreage re-
daction method never has succeeded.
The cost production method would
' hfite to fait a good many times before
it eaught up with the acreage-reduction
plan's record.
Coat production neet! not begin with
hopes of success by first cutting the
wages of arm laborers. Rather Its
ends should' be sought by such means
Lha tilantinir of hatter &, nwirn
.'T Intelligent cultivation, better prepsra-
,L- tion of soil, use of implements niacHJn-
j try, caring for the cotton properly
! alter re hgs been gathered, nnd re-
? storing fertility to tic soil after every
crop.
' It Is to bo Admitted that these pro
positions which can be compressed
into h singlo paragraph, involves diffl
j culties for the avcrago farmer which
would undertake them. Tho difficult
J is chiefly financial. But if financial
i aldi be extended to tho farmer who
shows a willingness to undertake such
.methods, Jt Is far better investment
than a loan to help cut down his
acreage. There are mnny things
which the farmer knows ho could do
bettor if, he had tho capital to make
a start fn, thbi direction He hart
mtda many trials to get capital and
without groat success. Very often his
fallow has been due to the aqf that
he pimttelf h not a .first-class loan
risk.
