THE UNWELCoME~ FACTS ABOUT
COTTON

The. first thing Southern farmers
should do this year is to get the es-
sential facts of the situation in mind.
These facts, according to estimates
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, are:-~: -
/. The "carry y-overo of cotton
this year is the largest in history
nearly 10000 900 bales. That is to
say, when farmers begin picking in
the fields they are now plowing there
will be on. hand nearly 10000. 900
bales OF cotton--a crop in itself. It
will not be all high grade cotton; but
at least 100000 bales will be mid
ding.
2. The worlds consumption Of cot
ton this year is only -15,oo0,0oO bales
all grades; and it is very doubtful
that the full consumption of $4,000.
ooo will be reached. A goo dpart of
the year is gone, and the rate of con
sumption is the lowest in wears
s. It is not likely that the 1921
crop in the South will be less than
100000 bales. In India and other
countries it will be at least 5000 .OSO
bales. It is certain that the world 3
crop will be at least 100000 bales,
and probable that it will be 100000
bales. 1t may be much more.
4. The 1921 supply of cotton will
therefore, be at least 23,0OO,OOO bales.
all grades, against a demand of at
most 100000 bales, all grades.
There will be 100000 bales more
han the world can take. This is |
certain. There will be more low |
'rade and more high grade cotton /
han the world can take !;
;oncluslons.-Under no circumstances
nay we look for prices that will Weld
profit to Southern cotton producers
ms year. The prospect is for six
ent cotton. The only way to make

Another appeal has gone ont to
American people for contribution 10
aid the suffering and starving Of ire
land. These appeals have been made
continuously for the past several
years in behalf of nations in all parts
OF the world 1t is lust and RIGHT
that we, the richest nation on earth
should give OF our bounty, but does It
not seem that it is about time thar
revolutions, wars and threats Of wars
should end and the world get down to
work again and produce food to take
care OF the starving in their own
m1dsts The world is indeed yet IN up
heaval and the end does not seem,
to be in sight.
The commonwealth., 1921-03-30
motley in cotton this year is to plant

motley in cotton this year is to plant
none.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture estimates that the ratio
Of demand for cotton to supply this
year (192D is 81 per cent. This is
the lowest ever recorded. In 1914 the
ratio Of demand to supply was 70 per
cent. Cotton went in that year to >
cents. In. 1911 the ratio Of demand to
supply was IS per cent. Cotton went
in that year to Z cents. To what
price will it fall when the ratio Of
demand to supply is g. per cent The
demand to supply is 81 per cent. The
leaving out the war years, is under
10 cents.
Another fact to reckon with: Eu-
rope is in a condition of wreck and
Prostratlon; political conditions ara
as uncertain as at any time since the
Armistice; and the financial systems
of all the nations are under such
stress and strain as the world never
knew. There is extensive unemploy-
1ent in America. Consumption of
otton will be reduced accordingly.
Credit has been paralyzed the
world over There is no buying
power
Every row Of cotton planted this
ear will mean money and time saved.
All this is unwelcome Many farm
ers will not accept it. They refuse
to recognize the facts. Some will ar
que that since others are planting no
cotton, now is the time to "make
killina' Let them try it. They
will kill themselves along with the
rest OF us. L. w. BAILEY.

BONE GOING TO WASHINGTON ON
 BUSINESS TRIP
Called to Washington by Sec retary Fall-Leaving Here
 About January 10.

In the interest of Alaskan legisla tion and at the request of the De partment of Interior, Gov Scott c Bone will go to Washington within d short time to appear before Con gressional committees and consult with Secretary Fall and others rela- tive to Alaskan affairs Governor Bone expects to leave here about January 10 and arrive in Washington about eight days later.
 Governor Bone said that he had been advised that some Alaskan legis- lation now in Congress would be giv en further hearings between January 15 and February 1. He was asked to be in the national capital while these are in progress.
 It is believed that Governor Bone will make the trip East with Colonel Frederick Mears, chairman of the Alaskan Engineering Commission. Colonel Mears leaves Alaska for Washington on January 6, according to information recently received from Anchorage Colonel Mears' trip is to be made in connection with an appropriation for the Alaska railroad. Authority for additional funds was granted several weeks ago by Con- gress but no appropriation has been passed Part of Governor Bones work in Washington will be to aid in securing favorable action on an ap- propriation bill for the railroad.
 Among other things the Governor will also urge the importance of ap- rropriations to cover fully the esti- mates furnished by the Alaska Road Commission as regards roads and trails in the Territory.
