cotton.


Reports from many parts OF the
Cotton Belt are to the effect that
the acreage planted in cotton this
season will be largely increased.
The natural conclusion, it this be
true, would be that an increased
crop of the great staple will be
made. In some localities the in
crease is said to be from twenty
to twenty five per cent. In parts
of Kentucky and Tennessee wheat
has been plowed up and cotton
planted. In other parts the land
hitherto devoted to tobacco has
been put in cotton. In u state
a good deal of waste land has been
planted in this crop. With all OF
these additions to the crop it would
be reasonable to anticipate a large
ly increased output.
But there are always two sides
to every question. While there
may be an increase of acreage on
the east side of the Mississippi
river there can certainly be none
on the west side. The boil wea-
VII in Texas has steadily spread
it's devastations until a very large
part of Texas available ares has
been abandoned. With each year
this pest has encroached upon the
land adjoining its previous years
depredations. This fact has spread
CONSERVATION amongst the farm
ers in parts near the scene of the
insects destructive work and large
bodies of land that has not yet
been invaded has been put into
other crops. For years previous
to its appearance there was a
steady increase of cotton acreage
in the region where the weavll
is at work. This is stopped now.
The effect of this will be approach
able in reducing the next crop
Another reason why there can
be no increase west of the Mis-
sissippi is found in the fact that
emigration from the cotton states
east of the river has almost entire
ly ceased. This will prevent the
addition of thousands Of acres.
Instead Of emigration to the west
there have been thousands to re-
turn to this side. This is simply
a transfer of labor to this side
and while it means an increase OF
acreage in the gulf states it also
means a corresponding decrease IL
the west.
There are many causes that con.
spire against the cotton industry
Just at this time, Prominent a
mong these is the ~unprecedent
ed industrial activity everywhere
throughout the south. The estab
lishment of factories, the building
of railroads, the rapid increase o.
business in the towns and cities
all draw laborers from the fields
The great accumulation of money
in the south derived from the high
price of cotton stimulates this
activity and tends to the abstrac'
ton of labor from the fields. Il
the present price of cotton is
maintained for two or three years
longer the effect will be to take
a large percentage of young mel
from the fields and transfer then
to the towns. But while we hope
to see prices kept up we do no
believe that there will be a bigger
crop raised this year than last.
