Schools for teaching agriculture
are all right, but in the present cot
ton situation it esems to reach to-
ward preparing the boys and girls
to raise cheap cotton. The study of
textile industry and the acquisition
of better business methods should be
included in the curriculum.
The farmers are making strenuous
efforts to build warehouses to hold
back all cotton that they can afford
to keep off the market, and then sell
to New England and foreign spin
ners. The spinners would not ask
any better arrangement than this.
The farmers would realize more by
each building a stone house on his
own place and holding the cotton in
the seed. The quality would be i'm
proved, and it would be kept off the
ginners' report.
Each Congressman who represents
a district that has a seaport in it
tries to get appropriations to widen
and deepen the harbors so vessels
can come in and haul off cheap cot
ton.
I think if circular letter was sent
to the manufacturers of New Eng
land, Europe and Japan stating a
wish for the above things, they
would be willing to chip in and build
a few agricultural schools, fix up
some warehouses and spend a few
thousand dollars scooping out the
harbors-to get more cheap cotton.
