solving the problem.
far-rcaching readjustment is tax
ing place in the agricultural labor Of
the South. 1t means that labor is de-
manding a much higher living stand
ard tha nobtaincd under the old
regime. In fact, it figures about eight
times more than the standard cost
twenty-five years ago. Wherever this
demand has not been met il has been
followed by detection IN cotton la
bor that has become increasingly
acute during recent years. To this de-
fcction and the consequent infcriority
of cultivation is due, in very large
measure, the short crops of the last
five years.
These conditions have been eXcr-
cising, and no doubt will continue to
exercise, a decisive influence on the
output and price of American cotton.
A large section of the consuming and
specializing public, however, have
made no effort to find out the extent of
this influence; on the contrary, they
have been, and continue to be intent
on bolstering up opinions based on
outworn theories and the thoroughly
discredlted standards of the past.
The governments forecast of lO,-
G9G,0OO bales indicates that consump-
ton this season Notwithstanding the
unusual difficulties, will again be well
above the amount produced.
Believe the market is purchase at
this level.
New Orleans, La, Oct. 4, 1919.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1919-10-08

The normal increase in the population
of the world, the steadily increasing
use of cotton in other products besides
that of clothing and the general trend
of consumption during the last quarter
of century indicates that normal con
ditions, once restored, must be main
tanned by an annual increase of from
a half to three quarters of million
bales if the worlds economic life is
to be kept on sound basis.
Where is this increase to come from :?
That question not only vitality con-
Germs the consumer, but just as vitally
concerns the well-being of organized
society during the preiod Of readjust-
ment through which every country
must now pass! The history Of the
last hundred years points rather def
nitely to this country as being the
only source from which such an in
crease can reasonably be expected.
The fact is, this is so evident that it

corn is in a dented condition. Plants
of medium size that produce their
ears about the middle Of the stalk
should be selected. The shanks
should be Of medium length and di
ameter. The ears should point
downward so as to shed water, and
the tips should be well covered with
shucks so as to lesson insect injury.
BE sure to get enough, about one
bushel for every six acres to be
planted the following spring.
After the seed has been selected

would be an act of folly to deal with
this most important problem upon any
other assumption, and especially So
during the next twenty-five years.
How to Immediately increase the
American crops to where they will
meet these indicated needs that will
come with the crturn of normal con-
ditions and how to maintain that in
crease on such an expanding basis as
will secure the orderly processes of
the worlds economic life, clearly dom
mates in Importance every other pob-
lem with which the cotton world will
have to deal, both in the near and the
distant future. Certainly no question
can take precedence over this in the
Forthcoming world cotton conference
at New Orleans if the conference
meets adequately what the world has
a right to expect Of It,
TO increase the output of Amcri-
can cotton in any apprcciable degree
it is obvious that work i'm the por-
duction of cotton must be made more
attractive to the laborer, whether he
receives wages or is an independent
cropper, than work in the production
of any other products. When we con-
slider this in connection with the
steady movement of labor away from
the farm, especially during this era
of higher prices, we are justified in
assuming that the consumer will ul-
timatcly have to pay price well
above any that has been so far record
ed. 1t is well to remember that rs
per cent of the agricultural products
Of the South are now grown by white
labor, which definitely minimizes the

pended by wires or strings in such
a way that each ear does no. touch
other ears. Another good practice
is to spread the corn on wire
shelves, or even on the floor Of un
attic, but care should be taken al
ways to see that there is good cir
culation Of air around the ears If
the corn is spread on the floor il.
should be turned every day until
thoroughly dry, because if this is
not done, sufficient decay may take
place to prevent termination Of the

ECONOMICS OF TAEI
COTTON SITUATION
(By w. w. Morrison)

The cotton crops Of the five-year
normal period Immediately preceding
the war averaged 14,713,0OO bales
During this period consumption
steadily outgrew production, as it had
done, in fact, during the ten previous
years. 1t is practically certain that
1919 will end a five-ycar period in
which the crops have averaged from
3,500,000 to 100000 bales belo wwhat
would have been the needs of the
world had not the war interviewed.
This indicates that it will take a
series of at least five crops averaging
around 100000 bales to restore such
normal conditions as existed through
out the world previous to the war.

Italy concerning the British import em-
Dargo, the French cartel system and the
Italian system of government supervi-

where there Is pending a resolution by
senator Weeks, OF Massachusetts, ask
ing for information from the State De-
partment, and 1t was learned today that
various complaints against II have been
received by the State Department from
manufacturers. Protests have been
based upon the claim that operation Of
the embargo involves discrimination.
officials said today no evidence of
discrimination had been presented. and
unless discrimination existed the United

Russia with as much credit as pos

Want to Get Out of Russia
The controlling influence in Gre
ating this attitude on the part of
the administration is no doubt the
military situation in Russia. In the
ACCOMPLISHMENTS expeditionary
forces the Bolsheviki have virtual
hostages from the Allied Powers. 1t
will be difficult, if not impossible,
to save those men unless White and
Heron reach an understanding with
the Bolsheviki at the coming con-
ference.
On the other hand, acceptance by
the Bolsheviki of the Allied proposal
to confer is most c"nciiiatory in
tone, and this has greatly entour-
aged the Americans and British
here, who desire, above all things,
to get out of Russia and begin a
new approach to the Russian prob
lem by attempting to aid and re-
store the country.
While the Allied military situa-
tion in Russia apparently is an i'm
possible one, the economic situation
of Russia under the Bolsheviki is
equally impossible, and the Bolshe-
wiki themselves recognize it.
No other explanation is possible
for the highly conciliatory message
from Tchitcherin.
From that message one would ex-
pect Russia to send to the confer
ence a counterpart, if it has him,
of White, the genial, rotund philoso-
pher, whose spirit no one can ruffie.

London. Feb. s.--Sir Albert Stanley.
president of the Board of Trade. an
nounced at '2;2O o'clock this morning
that an arrangement with union execu-
tiNes had been reached and that rail-
way service would be resumed as soon
as possible. This announcement fol-
lowed conference in which Sir Albert,
Sir Edward Shortt. Secretary for Home
Anairs. and other government officials.
discussed the situation with executives
or the National Union OF Railwaymen
ana representatives of the arrangements
OF the underground railways The con-
ference lasted the whole evening
acting Secretary Hudson, Of the
Unions, subsequently said he was salts
ned with the agreement which had been
reached. He asserted accredited repre-
sentatives would he appointed by the
union to care for the physical needs of
the men pending arrangements which
VIII be made in preparation for the es-
adjustment of an eight-hour day He
added he expected tube trains would be
running normally at noon today.
Last night. after a day of conference
between labor leaders and Board of
Trade officials. the situation was still
puzzling. The failure Of the tube trains
to resume operations yesterday. after a
settlement had apparently been ar
ranged, left the situation then in doubt
concerning the return of the men TO wotll
today.
The electrical trade union has called
off its strike at least until Sunday, when
there will be another meeting with gov
ernment officials to discuss the situation
An official announcement las. eve
ming by the Electrical Trades Union
said:
owing to an extraordinary meeting
of the Executive Council having been
convened for sunday, to consider ma
tional action to secure olty-hour
week. and further, owing to the extraor-
dinary change in the attitude of the
government in first refusing to inter-
vene and then intervening to safeguard
capitalist interests by suspending the
civil rights of Trades Union members
we order Immediately a resumption of
work pending national action"
London Was Disappointed
The news that the tube and district
railway employees had not returned to
work came late yesterday afternoon,
and the announcement that there would
be no service on the lines was a distinct
disappointment to the thousands of Lon
doners who, after their trials in getting
to and from work during the previous
four days. had anticipated, from earlier
reports. n return to normal conditions
before evening.
At Belfast it was said officially that
employers of union labor have asked
striking workmen there to resume work
on a basis of forty-seven hours week
with promise of a forty-four-hour week
wheh the treaty Of peace is signed.
Police authorities deny that warrants
have been issued for the leaders in the
strike movement in Belfast on charges
of conspiracy to prejudice and injure
public safety.
