COTTON FARMERS INTO

IN Il NJ N ALTON Of
THAT CROP IN THE SOUTH

Washington. April 13.--Warning
that the southern farmer will not
consent longer to tell IL months in
the year in the production OF cotton
when he cannot get a fair price, was
given Saturday by Representative
Aswell Of Louisiana, speaking In the
house.
He is not permitted to grow cot
ton at a profit Mr.. Aswell said,
'the world problem OF the future will
not be how TO get cheap cotton, but
Sne question with the cotton mills
and the consumer will be how to get
cotton at any price"
For so years. Mr.. Aswell said, the
southern farmer has received less
Shan one half the actual cost Of pro-
ouclng cotton with the result that his
Family have been Slaves" his chill,
6ren toiling in the fields when they
should have been at school, and yet

New England and Europe, the speak.
or continued that cotton land own.
.srs were making excessive profits
l as shown by the tremendous increase
in deposits In southern banks.
"These critics" Mr.. Aswell said.
"are evidently Ignorant of the fact
that, owing 10 the rich and versatile
coils Of the south, with its wealth of
sunshine and climate, the cotton
crops produced last year only one
fifth OF the $l0,000,000 of revenues
derived from the southern farms. II
the south, deprived OF its timber, oil
land minerals, under present high
prices Of farm equipment and cost
and scarcity Of labor, were today
compelled to grow cotton exclusively,
even ut prices that now prevail, its
bank deposits would disappear and
bankruptcy would inevitably follow"
Mr.. Aswell quoted the department
OF agriculture TO show that the aver
age cost of producing cotton in 1918,
$500 uoIlonpoId 'sluoo eLS5 ulLM
paIBdmoo sB punod slu9o e'ee sBM
In 1919, increased he said, to at least
44 cents while the price went up to
only 31.2 cents. He quoted prices
paid by mills to show that the cost
Of staple to spinners was s22O6OO,OOO
more than received by the farmers
and declared the cotton producer re-
ceived 4 smaller share of the profits
from his work than any other farmer
in the world.
Mr., Aswell gave instances Of price
Increases in other commodities to
show that the price of cotton had
advanced much less proportionately
as compared with potash. leather and
tin plate, and called attention par
ticularly to a recent stock dividend
of 100 per cent by New England
Arotton mill. He charged English mills
with making enormous profits out Of
American cotton and with disseminat.
ing propaganda, like the mills in
New England, intended to stampede
the southern farmers into accepting
q lower price for his staple.
