Few people recognize the tremendous

Professor Ross, from careful compila-

COTTON NEXT YEAR.

If Secretary McAdoo's advice that
the South reduce it's cotton acreage
is taken too freely he will find in
another year and under different
circumstances that he has done a
poor service not only to the South,
but to the country.
With an enormous consumption of
cotton assured in the future, war or
no war, the supply cannot be heavily
reduced without great injury to the
cotton States, in the Limitation of
their greatest selling product, and
without greater injury to consum-
ers in the higher cost Of cotton sup
plies.
Without any incitement from Of
ficials of high position, from South
ern bankers or from others of in
fluence, enough men will quit raising
cotton, or cut down their acreage, to
curtail next year, and perhaps even
afterward, the supply of cotton be-
low what it ought to be.
The cotton crop of this year is
estimated at about 100000 bales.
