Cotton Growing in Spain
Is on Very Small Scale

Statements have appeared in the Span
ish press that extensive experiments in
the growing of cotton in Catalonia have
resulted so successfully that experts have
advised the planting of 321, 100 acres The
Bureau of Markets requested the department
of state to obtain further information as
suits OF the Investigations, as reported I'M
der date of May %, 1919, by the American
consul general at Barcelona, are as fol-
lows:
1.-THE statements in the paragraphs cited
are incorrect. In the first place, cotton
Is not cultivated even experimentally in
Catalonia, except possibly a few plants in
gardens or farms. For Catalonia is prob
ably meant Andalusia, where about 5000
acres are under cultiva ton in the district
between Sevilla and Gibraltar, with a yield
of about 1000 bales during 1918. This is
the acreage and result in Spain for that
year. The enterprise is private, although
looked with favor by the government.
The acreage proposed for 1919 will take
up some 5000 acres and is expected to pro-
duce about 100 bales. This Andalusian
cotton is nearer Egyptian standard than
any other, being of long staple, grown on
irrigated ground, and cared for more like
flower plants than anything else.
''Spain cannot produce more than 10000
bales annually under most favorable condi-
tions and on the most suitable ground and
it will take from five to seven years to
reach this figure, the chief reason being
that ether crops pay better. At the present
time, however, tract Of about $4,000
acres is being negotiated for in the Prov
ince of Malaga. which, when irrigated, will
be good for cotton, but it has not yet
been decided whether to devote this land
to cotton or to other crps.
more serious is the plan of private
Spanish enterprise, seconded by the gov
eminent, to introduce cotton growing on
considerable scale within the Spanish zone
in Morocco. If this undertaking be actu
ally put into execution, within a genera
tion a fair part of the demand of the
Spanish spinning mills may be supplied from
this source.
GAS most of the cotton spinning and
weaving mills of Spain are centered in Gaia
lonia, 1t is natural that the chief inter
est in cotton cultivation should be in this
part of the country where the non arrival
of foreign cotton during the war was a
menace to local textile industries. While
there may be speculative plans for cotton
growing even in Catalonia at some distant
date, it is in the south of Spain, and in
Spanish Morocco where soil, climate and Ia
Dor are more adaptable, that local interests
look for profitable cotton crops in the more

Cotton Crop Conditions
Reported Quite Hopeful

Well Brothers crop report says:
Weather conditions during the first halt
of July have been much more favorable
than during the preceding two months and
although rains were had more or less all
over the cotton region, with few exceptions
where rains were very heavy, they have
proven if anything beneficial. The crop
at this date is much more promising than
month ago, in fact even than two weeks
ago. The temperature was just what was
made good use of their opportunity, and
at the present time perhaps so per cent
of the area planted is clean of grass and
weeds, whereas 20 per cent is in grass and
weeds and is suffering from the lack OF
cultivation. We do not doubt but that the
planter will give this his attention, but
even so it will take late fall and favorable
wea Their to produce a moderate crop where
such conditions exist
On the whole the crop is perhaps two
to three weeks late and is just in the max
ing stage. This condition should have OBJ
tanned on the 25th of June. One favorable
condition is that the plant has a good color
and is thrifty. The crop is a spotted one.
In some sections we find The plant of good
size and thrifty, and not far distant in
the same neighborhood, the plant is small
and backward. To make an average CROP

not more than was commonly expected. The
plant on fortified lands. strange to note
does not show much differently from that
on unfertilized lands.
The labor situation on the farms is not
nearly bad was anticipated. Indeed
in many sections labor seems to be ample
The high prices obtained for the staple has
naturally stimulating effect, and can best
be pictured by the vim and constancy given
by those interested to the cultivation of
the crop. Were it not for that the grow
ing crop would have largely succumhed tc
the unfavorabIe weather conditions. To sum
up the condition at this critical stage. we
can do so in one sentence and that is that:
Conditions are quite hopeful.
Spot conditions have been quite d1sap-
pointing; the amount offered has been in
excess of the demand. AS an evidence of
this,-we might even say as a consequence
of it-cotton is selling below cradle
basis on New York and New Orleans De-
tober contracts. in some cases even after
paying carrying charges until October: The
latter, however, is in extreme instances
The long heralded European demand after
the raising of the blockade has thus FAR not
materialized. This may change any time
and in this connection we might state that
there is ample ship room available from

l. The road tax election was called at the
request of the State Commissioner OF Public
Roads, and also at the request of hundreds of
Ohio County citizens who petitioned for it.
2. 1t twill be held on the date of the primary
election, Aug. z because this can be done at very
small expense in addition to the expense requir-
ed for holding the regular primary.
3. 1t is called because Ohio County has not
sufficient road funds and because it's present
road working system is inadequate and unsuita-
bic for working and keeping up the roads of the
county.
4. The tax is twenty cents on the hundred
dollars worth of taxable property, each year for
five years only.
5. The tax is collected by the sheriff at the
same time and in the same manner that he col
lects other taxes of the county and the sheriff
gets only one per cent of the amount of road tax
collected for his services in collecting this tax
and that is all he gets. No other officer gets any
fees, commission or any part of this tax, nor are
their present salaries, fees or commissions in
creased in any manner by reason of this tax.
6. No poll tax can be added nor can any
poll tax be collected in addition to that already
collected.
7. Men subject to duties as road hands will
be released from that service and the system of
road working changed.
g. The money collected under this road tax
in each magisterial district will be allotted 10 that
district in FULL SO that the people of one commun-
ity will not be taxed by this election to help keep
up the roads in some other part of the county.
9. The Federal pixies that are proposed to
be built through the county are provided for by
the following plan:
so per cent paid by the Federal Government; 10
per cent paid by the State of Kentucky; 20 per
cent by private subscription among the indi-
viduals living along the pixies and 20 per cent out
of the generalroad and bridge fund already pro-
vided for.
10. Nopart of the twenty cent road tax can
be applied to the building or upkeep of the pixies
except part of that collected in the districts
through which the pixies pass.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1919-07-30
Official Information About
The Road Tax!

II. Federal pixies that are proposed, and
that we are expecting to get as fast as time will
let us, are as follwos:
A pike from Butler County line to the Da-
viess County line on route from Owensboro to
Bowling Green.
Apike from Breckenridge County line to the
Davies County line through Fordsville, on route
from Louisville to Greensboro, or Camp Knox to
Oyvensboro.
A pike from Grayson County line to Muh-
lenberg or Mclean County line on route from
Louisville by Camp Knox to Dawson Springs
and Paducah.
IL. Each community through which it is
possible for either of these roads to pass has
free and open chance to get in the fight for it.
Competent state and federal engineers will Sc
lect the routes most suitable and proper, after
due investigation and consultation with the
county officials and the citizens of the several
communities affected.
Is. The people of each community will
have a voice in saying how the funds derived
from this twenty cent road tax shall be spent in
that community and such safeguards will be
used and enforced in each community as will in
sure the use and expenditure of this money for
the actual working and upkeep of the roads and
bridges of the several communities.
IA. The hills and rough bad places will be
given attention just the same as the low or level
roads 1t is the bad places, bitches, hills, etc.,
that need especial attention and appropriate
steps will be taken to provide for such attention.
Is. The Court proposes to use Ohio County
teams, and Ohio County Labor and Ohio County
materials so far as possible and to employ these
teams and labor in each community and apply
these funds fairly and equitably and to give ev.
cry man in every community fair deal.
l6. Under present conditions our govern:
ment taxes and our state taxes are taken and
used by the government and state to help build
roads for other people. One purpose of the court
therefore, in calling this election was that by
putting up little more money ourselves, we can
secure government and state aid to build some
roads in Ohio County and in no other way can
this be done.
