Large Cotton Consumption.

1t is almost a habit of mind with
many cotton producers to feel that
everything, absolutely, is against them.
But sober exercise of thought and
judgment will frequently reveal the
fact that things are not what they
seem in this particular, as we'll as in
many other experiences in life. When
the war suddenly laid its blighting
hand upon the farmers plans and pros
poets it appeared that nothing good
could come out of it, at least nothing
for the growers of cotton. Of course,
the farmers of the west who had food
stuffs to sell would be benefited, but
as for the cotton grower his doom was
sealed until the flag of truce should be
raised in the war zone. 1t turned out,
however, as it usually does in such
dark hours, that things were not as bad
as them seemed.
Instead of curtailing the consump-
tion of cotton and leaving large guam
.tity of raw material to be carried into
the next season, the war is actually
increasing the consumption of cotton.
In order to supply the munitions of
warfare new uses for cotton have been
found, and an increased quantity is re-
quired for those articles that have al
ways been made from cotton, such as
tents, surgeons supplies and cotton
material for uniforms. Practically a
pound of cotton is required in the max
ing of pound of powder. When the
guns of a lreadnought are in action
about 10 bales of cotton are consumed
per minute. Think of the enormous
consumption of raw cotton in supplying
powder alone. Even if the scores and
hundreds of cotton mills abroad are
closed down, other channels of consump-
ton have opened up that will make
large inroads into the l6, 900, 900 bales of
cotton that were made in 1914. Let's
cheer up, especially with; respect to the
cotton outlook Things are not as bad
as they once seemed to be. '.H
