CHEER UP

NV HAT about American prosperity
wv Within a few weeks the cot
ton producing states of the
south will begin the annual shipment
of their most important agricultural
product. According to conservative
estimates the amount of money which
the sale of this crop and its by-products
will bring to the cotton growers will be
a round billion of dollars. Surely the
south has no reasonable ground for
complaint regarding the status of its
chief industry. A billion in cash, paid
through southern banks to southern
producers largely by foreign consumers,
bears striking resemblance to signs
Of southern prosperity.
How about the north and east?
From practically every state in the
Union producing corn, oats and hay
comes the gleeful intelligence that the
most sanguine anticipations of the farm
ers were more than justified. Corn and
oats will be bumper" crops. The yield
of hay in most sections has been we'll
nigh unprecedented. Corn, oats and
hay in plenty mean hordes of fat, sleek
cattle which, in turn, mean that
America will contribute her full share
to the beef markets of the world.
Europe will pay for American beef
many millions of dollars in excess of
her average contribution to the finan-
ciai prosperity of this branch of Ameri-
can industry. This, too, looks like
prosperity.
How about the west?
Take California, for instance. The
demand for our oranges promises to be
greater than ever before. regardless of
the high prices that will prevail The
outlook for big yield and high prices
In lemons was never better Walnuts
will reach the highest figure the market
has known for years. Here are three of
the most important horticultural crops
OF the state. Surely all will be we'll
when the day OF reckoning comes to
California.
There is nothing dubious in such
prospects They are of too roseate
hue.
