Profits i'm 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 Of Agriculture Jardin in his an
nusl report issued Saturday, December 1.
The report deals exhaustively with nev uses for
cotton, and in summing up calls attention 70 The fact
that the American grower and American spinner are
not working in close cooperation.
Il has been established that most American mills
require cotton better than the average Of the grades
and staples produced in the United States. Growers
have therefore AZ 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 middIing cotton from
fifteen-sixteenths TO 1 1-16 inches in length Of staple
Foreign competition in the production Of these lengths
is practically nonresident. Clearly the American cot
ton industry has here an opportunity which ought not
TO be neglected.
The report states that American cotton growers
produce q large excess Of cotton seven-eighths of an
inch or less in length. Their output Of such cotton IS
far beyond American mill requirements. In producing
excessive quantities of short-stsple 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 eoun-
tries have not succeeded in growing in important COM
mercial quantities.
The movements toward community Standardization
is reducing the annual volume of short staple, but this
movement has not gained sufficient Roadway to make a
material difference. However, it has been demonstrate
ed as the logical method to assure a greater supply of
long staple such as the American mills require, and
incidentally assure MAXIMUM profits TO cotton growers.
So long as the American growers fail to provide
sufficient long staple to meet the demands Of American
mills and persist in growing a short staple which goes
onto the European markets in competition with the
cottons of the Orient. the growers cannot expect to de-
rive maximum profits from the crop.

The World and All
BELASCO
By Charles Y. Driseoll

David Belasco has become a kind of legendary figure
in New York and in the theatrical world. | 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 q poseur. seeking the limelight for
himself and his ventures.
He was sitting in a side aisle seat in his half dark
thester, watching the construction of the set for
Nina when I met him. He is small, and 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 "Mima" 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 mystifying and
startling mechanical bell. There is q great engine
mounted midway between floor and roof, and oil around
and below and above there are motors moving fantastic
mechanical contrivances. The surface Of everything is
shining steel. set thick with riyets.
The detail Of the thing and the fantastic conception
of It set me wondering. / heard some Of the story be.
sonal friend Of Beasco who also happens to be an old
friend Of mine. Belasco 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 Belaseo's mind. II grew until il became
this complicated, r7ystifying arrangement Of me-
chanics.
So Belasec took me by the arm and led me 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 represent? ?" I asked.
"Oh. this is hell" he answered quietly.
When you come TO pay the bills" ventured,
you'll put the accent on the is"
Belasco 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 Is
a four-flusher, put it down to the mutterings Of en-
vious competitors. I think he's a lovable old man who
respects art and beauty and is just a trilo shy.

Tysmol is soothing, healing absor-

Although Tysmol is put up especially
for nerve pain and inflammation, suf-
