The Future Demand for American
Cotton. argues tina: the expansion Of
the industry depends upon the amount
OF clothing worn by the world
The consumption OF cotton. accord
ing to this bulletin. has increased so
greatly within the last quarter OF cen
tury that there would appear TO be no
real limit to its future possibilities. 1t
is estimated tina, OF the worlds popu-
lation OF 100000 about 500 ooo 600
regularly wear clothes About 100000
600 are partly clad and 10000. 900 hab-
itually go naked. or almost so. so that
to clothe the entire population OF the
world II would require the production
OF 100000 bales OF 500 pounds each
II therefore seems more than likely.
says the department bulletin. tina; the
cotton industry will continue 10 expand
until all the inhabitants OF the earth are
clothed with the products OF the looms
This IS not regarded as an unreasonable
conclusion when it is considered that
cotton is the cheapest material Tor cloth
