world it was being robbed Of its
own birthright.
Following the Civil War, which
came about largely as result Of the
economic theories developed by the
raising of cotton by slave labor, the
South was in deep and desperate
poverty, and the financial and cotton
forces Of the world were then concen-
trated to keep cotton at price which
enslaved the cotton growers, whites
and blacks, to far greater extent
than the slavery of the blacks prior
to 1860.
Every man who has sought to break
down the price Of cotton, has to the
extent of his ability used his influence
to bring great poverty and suffering
to the cotton growers of the South.
To the Influence fsuch people is
due the fact that hundreds of thous-
apds of women work in the cotton
fields; that hundreds Of thousands of
children are without education; be-
cause they, too, must work in the cot
ton fields. Cotton has been raised
through the slavery not only of the
white and the black, but of the white
and black women and children, and yet
there are some cotton manufacturers
i'm, this country, who like European
cotton manufacturers, view with the
utmost horror any effort on the. part
of Southern cotton growers to get
living price for their work.
/ sAs the cotton mill people OF the
South, and some from other sections,
meet and mingle with textile mach
inery manufacturers and cotton grow
ers and cotton mill operatives at the
! Greenville Exposition now open, they
should remember that it is just as
essential, from the business as well as
from the ethical point of view, that
they do all in their power to benetlt
the cotton grower as 1t is to help
make comfortable the surroundings
of the cotton mill operative. The
cotton grower indeed is one oense an
lemploye of the cotton mill. He is
simply producing cotton for the bene-
fit of the mill, without which the
mills would close. He is the assocl-
ate, the co-worker, the partner of the
mill owner and the stakeholder in the
mill, and of the mill operatives. The
mill owner or stakeholder who fails
to realize that he has just as great a
responsibility to the cotton grower as
to the mill operatives is shortsighted,
even when viewed from the purely
selfish standpoint. Unless the cotton
manufacturers, not only the managers
of mills, but the stockholders in mills,
take vital, living interest in better
ing the condition of cotton growers;
unless they endeavor to see that bet
ter homes are provided for them;
that a better price is secured for
their cotton, they will be just as re-
creant to their moral responsibilities
and to the welfare of their industries
as they would be if they continued to
permit their operatives to live in huts
on starvation wage basis, caring
not for their moral or physical we'll
being.
The cotton mill people of the South
hold a dominating position in this
section. They are great leaders in It's
material development and they have
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1922-11-09

it within their power to change the
thought of the world as to the price
Of cotton. They should stand with
the cotton grower and fight for his
welfare and for a profitable price for
his products. In that way they would
break down or conquer the efforts OF
manufacturers in other sections and
in Europe to regard the cotton grower
Of the South merely as a piece of
'hun.ars~ machinery to be worked to
the utmost limit of it's power and then
thrown on the scrap heap Of disease
and poverty.
The Southern cotton mill people can
change the atmosphere in which the
cotton growing business lives. They
car encourage the cotton farmer. They
can stand for higher prices for him,
for better living conditions, whether
he be white or black, and in doing
so they will not only insure the safety
of their own supply of raw material
70 rthe future but they will add amaz-
ingly to tn ewealth of every class Of
people in the South.
Until cotton brings profitable price
to the grower there can be no we'll
rourded development of prosperity Of
all classes Of the South, and unless
cotton does bring a profitable price
to the growers it is absolutely certain
that more and more this section will
turn from cotton to diversified aGri-
culture, to the Increasing profit of the
farmers, and gradually to the wider
eiiversifcation of the prosperity of
the whole South.
But L Southern farmers cease to
grow cotton--and that it is not at
all ALI impossibi]it> - where will the
cotton mills of the South, of New
England and of the rest of the world
get their raw material? This is Il
question which Southern cotton man
iufacturers and others who meet in
Greenville this week may well con-
slider as of vital Importance to them,
viewed from the moral or the purely
business standpoint.

PREVENT SCAB ON POTATOES
BY A SIMPLE REMEDY

Gainesville, Jan. II. - Farmers
who would prevent loss to the potato
crops from the disease known as
"scabs" should disinfect the potato
seed before planting, according to
Farm Agent H. E. Stevens, of Lee
county, as he is quoted in The Agri-
cultural News Service of the Florida
agricultural extension division.
The disease when once introduced
in the soil remains active for years,
according to Mr.. Stevens, who says
that the disease is carried on the
surface of the tubers.
Potatoes may carry the scab
germ while no evidence of the dis
ease is visible on the surface of the
potato" Mr.. Stevens says.
"If scab-infected potatoes are

solution by adding one pint of 40 per
cent formaldehyde to 80 gallons OF

the prepared solution. After being
submerged for two hours, spread the
potatoes out to dry. Then cut and
plant.
Forty per cent formaldehyde can
be obtained from any druggist. The
diluted solution can be used several
times.
"When cutting the tubers for
planting discard any that show a

the many hardships that besct "outback

persons to obtain prompt ana effective
medical care-would be eliminated by
carrying out proposal by the Queens

The efforts of persons who work IN
the interests Of the isolated settlers are
hampeFed greatly by bad roads and In

An aerial ambulance would overcome
this obstacle. Atmospheric conditions
are said to ha favorable and It IL
