vest a sufficient amount of cotton
to at least meet our national needs.
The Importance of this matter can
not be over-emphasized because very
few of our people yet realize the
nature and extent of our. cotton
manufacturing enterprises or the in
fluence which the expectation of
raw cotton has exercised on the
maintenance of trade balance IA
vorable to our country.
Education Means Progress
Education holds the key to prog
ress. Through the trained intellect
we unlock natures secrets, bring or
der out of chaos, and light up the
dark places Of the earth. --=I-fee1 that
a renewed zeal and interest in tech
meal, vocational and professional
training as they pertain to agricul-
ture and our industries is a crying
need of the times. I do not think
we can justly escape the criticisms
of having neglected these types of
education in a larger degree than
was wise or desirable. 1 am sure
that the progress of American agri-

try of home-making will best be
served now and in the future by
teaching our people to live more pur-
posefully and happily in the environ
ment by which they are surrounded.
Of necessity they must become so
intellectually efficient as to preside
with skill and success over the indus
tries they control. If we circum-

much, we will surely induce dry rot;
if we encourage it as a rational

insure it's progressive development.
Cooperative Imperative
"In conclusion, T would say that
cooperation holds the key to our
future success. There must be no
| class and no section in the future.
! Let us adopt All for one and one for
all as our national motto. This is a
| time for the reconsecration of our
lives land efforts to the good of So
| ciety and to the preservation of
| civilization. Let us get back to nor
! NAL as quickly as possible, and to do
this we must demonstrate the fact in
our lives and by our action towards
each other that we know, believe,
and live the great truth that I am
my brothers keeper There has
! been a slogan in this country for
many years which says, "A fair day 8
pay for fair days work Adapted
to our agricultural conditions, if
would read, A just return on the
cost of producing our farm crops

In the same way as other workers.
Cooperative effort on their part
points the way to salvation and sue

potency that Hes in concerted &C.
ton. 1t represents a rich legacy
left us out of the ruck and destruc-
ton of that great conflict. Surely
we will not make the mistake of
overlooking it's true significance at
this time.
Everyone, is interest in a nation
wide program of agricultural devel-
opment, and should back it to the
limit. 1t is the most promising ave-
nue. through which we can hope to
establish conditions in the open
country that will insure unified eff
