TOO LAZY TO GROW COTTON
Attempt of British Government to
Make Egypt Rival of Southern
States Proves Failure.

The British government has failed in
it's attempt to make Egypt a rival
OF our south In cotton growing. A
few years ag1 considerable uneasiness
was felt in this country lest the Brit
ish would be able to develop the in
dustry along the Nile to the extent
that 1t would hurt our cotton growing.
But after spending millions of dollars
irrigating areas and in experimental
work the crop last year was smaller
than the year before.
Laziness on the part of the natives
is the principal cause, They will not
work but prefer to steal or beg for
living one enterprising planter took
over a large number of our southern
negroes in the hope that they would
make ideal laborers on his cotton
plantations but in a year or two they
got as lazy as the natives and also re-
fused TO work.
In that country a strip of cotton Is
all that man needs In the way OF
clothing and as all he has to do to
secure his food IS to steal a few ba.
nanas every day work seems TO him
useless effort.
The British government Is very
much discouraged over the expert
ment so far and IL looks as though the
future is not likely to hold any fur

there might be system and co-opera-

signatures the following recommends

TO the Cotton Planters Of Texas and
the Entire South: We. your commit,

marketing the cotton crop. beg now
to recommend:
l. That with the present prospects
OF short crop. no cotton be sold at
less than 10 cents per pound. middling
basis, interior common points, and
that the same be marketed at rate
OF not more than ten per cent. per
month.
2. That we urge upon all the great
Importance of Investigations as the
greatest factor that will enable the
planter to control his cotton by living
at home. and to that end we urge the
planters to avail themselves of the
education advantages of all demon
stration work carried on by the gov
eminent
3. That we indorse the idea OF ma
king cotton grading a part % our pub
lie school curriculum. more especially
in the rural districts. and appeal to
our state legislature to make provision
therefor.
4. We urge the proper warehousing
and care of cotton, to the end that 1t
will become q safe and ready collateral
and urge the hearty cooperation OF
bankers and financiers in assisting
the planter to hold his cotton when SO
desired, by making liberal advances
on same.
s. We deplore the slovenly manner
in which the present square bale, as
rule. Is prepared and sent to market,
and the gross extravaganza In and
careless handling of same from the
ginner to the spinner. entailing need
less time and expense In shipping,
recompressing, etc. and recommend
some package acceptable to the trade
that can be compressed at the gin and
go direct and rapidly from the gin
to the mill or the ships side.
6. We finally urge the planters to
cover their cotton entirely with heavy
bagging and keep same under shelter.

the cotton yard. in order to prevent
country damage, waste. etc.
We realize the contamination OF
the above suggestions to large ex-
tent depends upon the widest public
ity and we therefore request the press
of the south at large to give space to
same, and to our bankers, merchants,
business men generally and brother
farmers to give us their ablest counsel
and cooperation in the common cause
of educating and upbuilding the agri-
cultural classes. the bulwark of our
national prosperity. Respectfully sub
