LONG STAPLE UPLAND
Cotton Is Declared to Be an Un.
developed Resource.

A now factor has been introduced
into the problem OF long staple upland
cotton by the early maturing varieties
now being distributed by the depart
ment of agriculture.
Long staple production is one OF the
undeveloped resources Of the United
States and capable of enormous ex-
pansion, declares A. F. Cook, who is
In charge Of crop acclimatization. He
aseerts, however, that anything like a
full development Of these resources
must be accompanied by extensive
changes ann readjustment in the com
mercial and industrial world. Having
been accustomed % limited and un-
certain supply of long staple, it re-
mains to be seen how long it will be
before Americans take advantage of
the removal of these limitations. More
progress has been made in late years
on the long stable problem, says Mr..
Cook. than on the Industrial and com
mercial side. Limited and uncertain
supply has restricted long staples, but
greatly increased consumption is ex-
pected If they can be supplied more
regularly and cheaply.
In summing up, Mr.. Cook says:
The difficulties and uncertainties Of
the present situation lie in the read
justments that must be made in plac-
ing the cotton industry upon a more
honest and substantial basis, and thus
opening the way to q better develop
nent Of our resources of production
The competition spriuging up in for
eign countries is likely to force these
changes in time, if they are accom-
plished voluntarily in.the interest OF
American agriculture and of our own
consuming public"
