THE NEXT COTTON CROP.

We have very little confidence in the
various plans that have been proposed TO
get the farmers to cooperate in reducing
the cotton acreage, or to hold back cot
tom. The cotton area is altogether too
large for any such scheme to be success
full.
There will be, however, great reduc-
ton in the area planted in cotton for the
reason that farmers are satisfied that
they cannot make any money in planting
cotton at present prices. Even in Texas,
where cotton can be grown and prepared
for market at less cost than elsewhere,
the farmers are preparing to plant less
cotton and to give more attention to grain
and stock.
Farmers, however, who can raise cot
ton at five cents ~ pound on account OF
the richness of their. land, or because
they do all their farm work themselves,
with the assistance of their families, will
plant as much cotton this year as they
did last, and no scheme for reducing the
cotton acreage will prevent them. The
extent to which the cotton acreage will
be reduced depends upon the cotton
farmers themselves. each one acting
on his own account. No doubt the
publications in the newspapers,
showing that other crops can be
raised at a greater profit than cot
ton, will have some influence in bringing
about reduction of the cotton crop, but
the farmers cannot be bulldozed or
coaxed into doing what is contrary to
their own judgment in the matter.

towards silver with international BIZ

Eastern states that there are any

islands during the course of the nex'

think the Hawaiians realize the com
