AMERICA MOVING TO
AVOID FOREIGN COTTON

Strange as II may seem, America
is paying a staggering bill for
foreign-grown cotton. The twelve
months ending July 1, it was close
to $50. 100000. That is about four
times as much as in any previous
year. 1t is far greater than any
similar expenditure in our history,
and it is expended. though America
produces more cotton than any other
country-sixty per cent OF the
worlds crop.
Need of long staple cotton has
grown enormously in the last year
because of its use in automobile tires.
Yet the response to this need by the
planter was less in 1919 than the
year before
To save some of the large eXpendi-
lures in Egypt the big tire companies
have encouraged growing in new
areas in the Southwest. The Good
year company has planted $4,000
acres on It's own irrigated lands this
year. and has 10000 more acres under
lease. There are prospects for a con
siderable increase in long fibre cot
ton in California and Arizona. An
Agricultural Department expert rec
emily estimated $50 900 acres plante
in the two largest cotton districts
in these states. Last year the area
picked was 292. 900 acres. In Arizona
farmers are selling dairy herds to
grow cotton. 'H''

Although confident OF Germeny's
ability to ind herself commercially
within a relatively few years, Mr..
KrelI Is far from sure that the mark
will rise simultaneously. The finsn-
cial burden OF the Government as IT

Anyhow. ones predisposition to op-

The salhtation of letter de-

one Just sir the other Dear Sir
The first is used for a very formal
