Lumber mills. the naval store indus

construction and building operations
generally offer higher wages than the
farms, and. in the ease of whites, the
demands of the cotton mills are hav-

inclination noted here and there for
operations under the spur of fair
prices for cotton TO attempt TO make q
little crop of their own. Indeed, such

Louisiana, are following the field hand
to the lumber camp and are turning
out their own cotton ecreage for the

"Another influence against exten-
sive expansion in acreage is the back

Oklahoma, the ground being still wet
and cold, or the crop of corn. the sue
