Some dramas may not need the assistance
Of the scenic artist. but few are spoiled
thereby. while not a few owe their success

Cotton cultivation will become one

made before the Promotion Committee
yesterday afternoon by DR.. Il. v. vii,
cox, the director Of the Federal EN-
pertinent station. DR.. Wilcox said
that there was no doubt that a high
grade Of cotton cOuld be grown In the
islands and that the output Gsn be

/. THE cotton industry, It seems to
me, Is one that can be fitted In with
those industries now existing helc
without interfering with any OF them
said DR.. Wilcox. Cotton IL the best
money crop In the world. So much
cotton means so much cash"
Cotton Is eminently the poor man =
crop, for II can be raised with the
minimum Of expense AMI brings the
maximum Of returns. The ease with
which they can produce their cotton
is the ruination of the poor negroes OF
the southern States"
