THE BIG NEED OF 1e23-Cotton is holding it

THE BIG NEED OF 1923-Cotton is holding its
at good price level and promises to stay at
attractive level for some time to come. Bust
ness men and cotton experts believe that the 1923
crop will bring good price. Cooperative mark
citing, crop under normal and strong world de-
lnand all will help to keep the price good.
The farmer doesn't have to worry about price
so much for this falls crop. His work is to make
as big crop as he can for as little money as he
can. The boil weev is the main concern in doing
that. If the farmer can beat the boil weevil he
can make profitable crop. If he can't beat it he
won't There is no argument there.
How is he going to beat it?
The Leader and other papers all over the South
have carried advice from experts and from sue
ccsstul farmers for the last ten years ever since
the boil weevil began creeping through Louisiana
and Mississippi and creeping over South Georpa's
fields Some farmers in Georgia and in Ben Hill
county have been able to make profitable crops
Some have followed the teachings of experience OF
others. Some have found out for themselves
Some still don't know what they ought to do.

PROSPERITY In an address at Washington,
Julius II. Bares, President of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States declared that
wages will never return to the pre-war level and
took the position that economic system that can
give us more for everybody, more automobiles,
more general education, more modern plumbing
more graphophones and bigger real wages, is a
system worth maintaining and worth fighting for.
That is exactly what the Manufacturers Record
has been saying for years cheap coat makes
a cheap There is no statesmnship in driving
prices and wages down to Chinese levels The test
of our economic system is to provide the masses
of the people with good wages so they can obtain
a fair share of the good things our civilization is
producing. We do not lament the fact that some
laboring men travel to work in their own cars 1t
would be better country if they all did
There is no greater fallacy than the assumption
that large part of the people must always be
poor and put up with hardships-M Manufacturers
Record
The above bears out what the Leader has always
advocated and for which we have perhaps been
most severely criticized. No country can prosper
without prosperous farming and laboring class
The industrial laborers are the largest consumers
and when their purchasing power is cut down BY
low wages. the whole economic structure falls
prices drop and business stagnates The business
man who fails to understand that his prosperity
depends on the earnings OF the masses has still a
lesson to learn.
