this time
That is just the policy which foresighted
farmers in the South adopted during the war
period and which they now mean to pursue
with special care. Production must be eff
cient if it is to be at all profitable The
time is passed when planter could trust to
luck and make living; thoughtless ways
/ now lead straight and swift to calamity
Materials and equipment are so costly, and
labor so high and scarce that it requires the
utmost energy and skill to bring seed-time
to a worthwhile harvest. Effort must be in

has to offer. Crops must be diversified and

country knows better than the South that
Speculative plunging'' in single field of pro-

farming now offers peculiarly rich opportu-

inadequate facilities for marketing and inef-

grower from his rightful measure of profits,
conditions in this respect are steadily i'm

The Best Cotton.
THE pre-emminence of American cot
ton, as announced by the Federal De-

THE pre-emminence of American cot
ton, as announced by the Federal De-
partment of Agriculture, in news dis
patches from Washington, is one of those
things that properly may be classified as
gratifying, though not surprising. The Gov
eminent has made an exhaustive survey of
the most promising regions outside the Uni
ted States for the production of cotton, and
this survey has convinced the experts in
Washington that the South has practical
monopoly of cotton cultivation on a profit
able basis. The announcement is reassuring
in view of the well-known fact that foreign
consumers of American cotton have been
looking the world over for source of sup
ply that would relieve them of the necessity
for buying their staple in American markets
The Department of Agriculture attributes
the pre-emminence of American cotton to
three factors:
1. The quality of cotton produced in this
country.
g. The need for cotton with the staple and
other characteristics of the American pro-
duct.
8. The increasing world consumption.
Before the war slightly more than one
in home consumption, but under the stress
of war conditions, and conditions now ex-
listing, the home consumption has increased
materially, until American spinners today
are using more than half the crop. The pro-
portion may be expected to decrease, how
ever, as the mills of Europe are rehabilita-
ted. t.t..... .s..-. ~
The increased home consumption of Amer
lean cotton prompted the nations Of Europe,
particularly Great Britain, to search for 9TH
er desirable regions for the production OF
cotton. The British spinners were alarmed
over the possibility of idle looms through
their inability to obtain enough American
cotton to keep them going. 1t was this appre-
hension, no doubt, that prompted the Brit
ish government to exert every effort to
stimulate cotton production in Egypt, where
for several years it has steadily declined.
Next to the American staple, Egyptian cot
ton is the best cultivated anywhere in the
world. 't
1t is, as we remarked, gratifying to learn
that American leadership in the production
of cotton is not likely to eyer be challenged
hut this fact we repeat, is not news TO
Southern cotton farmers and American mill
mon. who have long realized and appre-
ciated the superior character OF our SOUTH
ern product.
