the South. Millions of acres of
good land can be had at reason
able prices. But a small part of
the possible cotton-growing area
OF the South has yet been put to

about fifteen million acres of the
richest cotton land in the world
which could be reclaimed by the
expenditure of about twenty mil
lion dollars by the national
government in leveeing the Miss
lssippi River. The fifteen mil
lion acres which would thus be

produce almost as much cotton
as the entire South yields TODAY

COMPANION. :

Several causes are Operating
against the possibility Of an early
increase; the ''boll-weevil, the
greatest. danger which has men
aced the cotton industry, the de-
terioration of seed by reason Of
the best seed having been sold
BY the tenants and poorer farm
ers to the oil mills, the deteriora-
ton of soil under the tenantry
SYSTEM and the lack of labor.
These are all factors which can
not be ignored.
The boll-weevil is a problem
for which there is aSyet no So
luton. We can only hope for it's
destruction upon the ground that
in this advanced age science
will prove equal to meeting the
ravages of an insect when an
interest of such tremendous i'm
portance is at stake.
1t is the consensus of opinion
of the best authorities Of the
South that there has been a
marked deterioration in seed,
thus lessening the vitality of the
plants, and lessening their ability
to meet unfavorable weather
conditions which a strong and
virile plant would overcome.
This can be remedied, but it will
take several years to do it. 1t
may take the most active CO.
operation of the national govern
ment through the Agricultural
Department, but whether it in.
wolves the expenditure of one
million or fifty million dollars is
immaterial in view of its i'm
portance.
AN EXAMPLE OF INCREASE.
The industrial development o.
the South has increased to such
an extent that this section nov
has six6y thousand miles of rail
road against twenty thousand il
1880, and one billion two hundred
and fifty million dollars invested
in manufacturing against tw'
hundred and fifty-seven milliol
dollars in 1880. This has mad
such a demand upon the field
for factory and railroad hand
that the shortage in cotton labo
can only be overcome by price
| sufficiently high to tempt me
5 back from industrial employment
: to the farm. This is not probabl
except on limited scale.
= The only other way in whic
r this need for labor can be pei
5 manently met is by the incon

those in which white farmers are
in the largest majority. The.
Italians have demonstrated that

ers to their own great financial
profit and to the benefit of the
South.
TURNING POPULATION SOUTHWARK
Heretofore the world at large
has had no interest in turning
population southwark: Now Eu-
rope and America alike are deeply
concerned in making it possible
for the South, by heavy immigra-
tion, to meet the worlds demands
for cotton. Not long ago one of
the largest cotton mill owners of
New England, a man who had
never had any interest in the
welfare of the South, except to
buy his cotton there, said to the
| writer:
"The world faces a cotton
famine. A crop of even eleven
million bales is entirely too small,
and some means must be devised
by which the South can, within
the next few years, increase its
production to at least fifteen
million bales. I can see only one
way in which it is possible for
this to be brought about, and
that is for combination of the
people of the South, of the rail
roads, and of all others interested
| in this problem, to unite in turn
ing to your section a great tide
'of foreign reputation to supple
ment your labor supply, which is
inadequate to meet the emer.
gency."

the overturn of the buggy. On
rising from the road and going
to ascertain how such an unusual
thing had occurred, / was sur
prised to find the telephone wire
partly down in the road. 1t had
been dislodged from two Or three
posts, partly hanging on the
ground in a semi circle. The
driver did not notice it's being
ther~- and drove over it. The
weight of the buggy was not
sufficient to sever the wire, but
drew it up againt the adjoining
post, and completely upset the
buggy and effected a most COM

since immigration seeks the home
Of prosperity and not of poverty.
With an increasing demand for
laborers in industrial enterprises
and railroad work, the supply on
farmShas steadily grown smaller,
and the, former poverty of the
growers. largely produced by the
cotton-mills of the world them
selves. was responsible for pre-
venting an influx of other labor
ers.
The financial editor of the New
York Sun recently, in discussing
the influence of the mills upon
prices, said.
For years spinners or their
agents have had the whip-hand
of the Southern cotton-planters,
and have been enabled to keep
cotton prices exceedingly low.
For years Liverpool buyers made
practically what price for cotton
they wished, time and again
frustrating the efforts of South
ern planters to secure a fair re-
turn for their toll. Now the
dread balance Of nature is turned
against them, and their undue
gains in times past are pitilessly
wrested from them. There is
this thought, too, that is upper
most in the minds of all those
who hive looked at the matter
from end to end, that it is highly
improbable that for years to
come American cotton will sell
at what may be called low figures,
that is to say, prices that will
not make the industry a very
profitable one for American pro.
ducers.
i The advance in prices during
1902 and 1903 has generally beer
discussed as if it were a phe
nomenal condition due to wilt
, speculation in cotton. On thu
contrary, there are only tive
periods in the last hundred years
. in which cotton has not averaged
