AT least two months ago. when the
question Of paramount interest
throughout the State was the drastic
reduction or the total elimination of
the cotton crop. we took occasion TO
direct attention to one phase Of the
subject that was generally ignored,
viz the problem Of providing for the
thousands Of farm laborers heretofore
dependent upon the cotton crop for
employment. AT that time not one
>of the politico-farm economists and
nnanciers would give this subject con-
sideration. and the general disposition
was to brush II aside as matter of
