THE ever-interesting Manufacture
ers Record, a great South
business magazine, comments force
fully on the Importance og the in
creased price of cotton as follows:
''In the last SO days the advance
in cotton has made the new crop and
the carryover worth nearly $780,
100000 more than they would have
been worth at the prices then pre-
vailing, Moreover, the gambling
bears were bent on beating prices
still lower, but fortunately they have
been caught in their own trap and
are being gloriously punished.
This $500,000,OOO means a
change difficult to exaggerate. 1t will
wonderfully affect the whole atmos-
phere of the South's BUSINESS and ag-
ricultural interests; it will save many
man and many business from
bankruptcy; it will revive trade; it
will nourish every industry with new
life blood; it will quicken the hopes
Of the disheartened; it will put new
courage into all the people; it will
show the tremendous blunder com
mitted when the former administra-
ton curtailed credit and killed the
War Finance Corporation, and it will
prove the power for good of the freer
credit and the establishment of
the War Finance Corporation by the
present administration.
"This advance VIII also show the
wisdom Of reduced cotton acreage,
with an increase in food stuff pro-
duction. In this lesson the South
should find the road to permanent
prosperity greater than it has even
known.
seTF the South will, now and for
ever, be Independent and rich.
let it cut its cotton acreage heavily
for all time to come and intensity the
acreage it does cultivate in order to
reduce the cost of production and
then concentrate on foodstuffs for
itself and for the country. Then
homemade fertilizers will enrich its
soils, grain and grasses and cattle
and hogs will diversity its agricul-
ture, enlarge the horizon of it's farm
q, and add enormously to their pros
perity. Never was there a better OBJ
ject lesson than the present.
''If the South had raised 12,000.-
600 bales of cotton, the price would
probably have gone to 6 cents a
pound but with crop of only about |
100000 bales the price has gone to
more than three times that figure |
and many farmer will now live who |
at cents would hav been hope |
lessly bankrupt and in poverty for
years to come. A crop of IL. 100000 |
bales with a carry-over of, say ST.
100000 in round figures, or 90 |
100000 bales, at cents would have |
been worth only 5000, 100000, which |
would have meant bankruptcy for |
the entire cotton growing interests. |
A 100000 bale crop and a carry
ever of 100000 bales at even 18
cents a pound-and it should go
be worth 81, $50, 000,-
600.
"Let the South reverently thank
God for this increased wealth, take
courage and go forward with new
zeal and energy"

"Psychologically, the brain is the

the pituitary gland, one of the duct
