Profits IN Long Staple Cotton

The American cotton growers should seek to get
away from the competition Of the Oriental cotton
growers who produce short staple cotton only. is the
advice Of Secretary or Agriculture Jardin in his an
nusl report issued Saturday. December /.
The report deals exhaustively with new uses for
cotton and IN summing up calls attention to the fact
that the American grower and American spinner are
rot working in close cooperation.
i has been established that most American. mills
require cotton better than she average of the grades
and staples produced in the United States. Growers
have therefore at least a potential opportunity to in
crease their income BY producing cotton Of a higher
spinning value. IN the United States and probably
throughout the cotton consuming world the strongest
demand is for middling TO strict middling cotton from
fifteen sixteenths 70 / l-16 inches in length Of staple.
Foreign competition in the production Of these lengths
is practically non existent. Clearly the American cot
ton industry has here an opportunity which ought not
to be neglected.
The report states that American cotton growers
produce a large excess Of cotton seven-eighths Of an
inch or less in length. Their output Of such cotton =
far beyond American mill requirements. IN producing
excessive quantities Of short-staple cotton, United States
growers are competing with growers Of the short cot
tons Of the Orient, and fail to take advantage Of their
ability TO produce the better staples which other coun-
tries have not succeeded in growing in important com
mercisl quantities.
The movements toward community standardization
il reducing the annual volume Of short staple, but this
movement has not gained sufficient Roadway TO make a
material difference. However, il has been demonstrate
ed as the logical method to assure a greater supply Of
long staple such ~ the American mills require, and
incidentally assure MAXIMUM profits to cotton growers.
So long as the American growers fail TO provide
sufficient long staple 70 meet the demands Of American
mills and persist in growing a short staple which goes
onto the European markets IN competition with the
cottcnS Of the Orient. The growers cannot expect 70 de-
rive maximum profits FROM the crop.

Education on Credit

Funds ~ alinr nearly $4,000 600 are loaned annually
e. 2se colleges and universities to students If char
acter and ability 20 enable them 70 complete their col
lege education. In addition there are IN the United
Stats more than 100 agencies and foundations which
maintain independent loan funds in excess Of 100000,
ard hundreds of smaller community or regional organ
izations which provide loan funds for students.
The American people are living in what may ne
termed the "installment age" They are accustomed to
making large purchases by paying an initial instaliment
and the remainder in weekly. monthly or annual pay
ments. Hihger education is no exception 70 the rule
and rs an investment probably yields greater returns
than anything that can 10 secured on the installment
plan.
A recent survey Of studest loan funds by the Bureau
Of Education reveals that there ~ no uniformity in the
manner in which loan funds are administered TO ambi-
tious students by the colleges and other student loan
agencies. Various conditions arc imposed according 70
the policy Of the institution, taking into consideration
the need or the student and the ability Of his parents
to aid. locality. restrictions imposed by donors and
other factors.
The study shows that II some cases NJ interest
whatever is charged. while in others rates run as high
a. s per cent. but s per cent is the usual requirement
Individual loans average SlO0 70 $3.50, but many are
twice as large. Repayment usually begins al 2 stated
period after graduation. Funds administered by indie
pendent organizations sometimes are restricted g stu
dents attending specified or affiliated colleges. Some
Of these funds. established years ago, have been adj
ministered in such way that the original amount has
been m~ultipli< many times.
Thousands Of American students now attending the
institutions or higher learning owe their educational
progress u the student loan funds. To countless
thousands these funds have opened the way for success,
and IL is doubtful IL in the entire list of what the
American public i now buying upon the installnent
plan there is anything that returns greater dividends
IN both money and progress than education.
II Is very evident. however, that the funds are in-
adequate to meet the demand. There are countless
thousands Of young men and women who arc unable 70
complete their education. and hundreds Of thousands
who are unable to complete high school. America with
nh her wealth can we'll afford to correct this condition
to supply ample funds 70 assure every deserving
student the limit Of education to which Ne cr she may
aspire.

BELASCO
By Charles p. Driseoll

David Belasco has become a kind of legendary figure
IN New York and in the theatrical world. I always
had the wrong idea Of him before | met him. and |
think most people who have read about him harbor a
suspicion that he is a poseur, seeking the Iimelight for
himself and his ventures.
He was sitting in = side-aisle seat in his half-dark
theater, watching the construction or the set for
Nina when ! met him. He is small, aud not very
young in years. He has a great deal Of fine white hair.
His face. which has become familiar to most Americans
who read newspapers and magazines, is deeply lined.
His eyes are young and intelligent.
had been admiring the Nina set. II is quite the
most elaborate piece Of theatrical construction that
has ever been done in preparation for a play, | am sure.
The entire stage, from the bottom OF the orchestra pit
to the ceiling above the proscenium arch, has been
made over, as have the boxes, into a m~ystifying and
startling mechanical bell. There is a great engine
mounted midway between floor and roof, and all around
and below and above there are motors moving fantastic
mechanical contrivances. The surface Of everything i
shining steel, set thick with rivets.
The detail Of the thing and the fantastic conception
Of i set me wondering. ! heard some Of the story be-
hind the construction work from John Wallace, a per
sonsl friend Of Belasco who also happens 10 be an old
friend Of mine. Belssco had studied the script Of Mol
mars play for ten years, off and on. Gradually the
picture Of an adequate hell for the production OF the
piece grew in Belasco's mind. II grew until il became
this complicated, rystifying arrangement Of me
chanics.
So Belasco took me BY the arm and led ne about.
asking me to touch this and that to satisfy myself that
it was real machinery. and would work. He told ne
that not a single piece Of the mechanism was second
hand or would ever be any good for anything except
this play.
"And what will this scene representa-" I asked.
ooh, this Is hell he answered quietly.

Belssco is young because he doesn't recognize age.
Gossip says he is planning a production program which
includes great artistic undertakings over a period Of
twenty years to come. when you hear that Belasco "

vious competitors. ! think he's a lovable old man who
respects art and beauty and is just a trifle shy.
