TEXTILE MODES
CHANGE COTTON
PRACTICE
Higher Profits ForeSeen From
Machine Farming and Use
Of Cheap Linters in Rayon

Transformation of the nations
cotton crop from an important
raw material for the textile mill
to a product for the chemical
plant, resulting in radical
changes in farming methods and
greater real profit from cotton
sold at lower price, is seen as
development of "the fairly I'M
minent future" by Everett +.
Partridge, associate editor OF In
dustrial and Engineering ChemlS
try, q journal of the American
Chemical Society.
In a report of conditions cover
ing 10 Southern States, Partridge
declares that cheap cotton would
become a formidable competitor
of wood pulp as a raw material
for rayon. 1t is not altogether
impossible, he asserts, that cot
ton may yet be grown for total
weight rather than for length OF
fiber. He states:
"At the present time there
are certain changes taking
place In the South which prob
ably will mean a slow readjust-
ment Of the old economic fOun
datiOn of the region.
Production Shifts
"The center of cotton prOduc-
ton is moving west Of the
Mississippi into Texas and
Oklahoma, where the soil is
extremely fertile and thet lower
rainfall causes less trouble from
grass. At the same time there
is q slow but steady inflow
of farmers from the North
Central region who see in
Mississippi and Alabama an
ideal region for dairying and
stock raising.
There is more than a pos
sibiIity that cotton may eventu,
ally yield place to cattle in
many parts of the South, since
cattle may be graZed Satisfac-
tOriIy and economically in pine
forests grown for pulp, thus
making the land serve a double
purpose.
Both of these agricultural
movements bring with them in
duStriaI consequences, since the
cOttOnSeed industry may be ex-
pected to follow cotton. while
the dairy and meat-packing in
duStries even now are begin
ming to invest rather strongly
in the South.
Dislike Suggestion
"To the South, the Sugges-
ton that cotton may not main
tain its importance as a tex
tile material will undoubtedly
seem rank heresy. 1 am in
clined, however, to the vision
ary idea that cotton will, in a
fairly imminent future, become
more important as a chemical
raw material and less impOr-
tant as q source Of cotton
goods.
"The change will be due to
rayOn and to other industries,
such as the manufacture Of
nitrOceIIuIOSe and it's derivative
products, which are even now
utilizing cotton linters on a
large scale.
"There seems to be some pos
sibility that cotton farming con-
Quoted on an intensive basis
with the aid Of mechanical cul-
tivatiOn and harvesting may be
able to achieve more real
profit from cotton sold at a
lower price than is realized to-
day with the rather low ef-
ficiency inherent in tenant

IN APRIL IS
LEVEL

Ol JuG OIllGSu SJdCcS department.
of Labor reports a very slight
change in employment, in the
combined 13 industrial groups sur
veyed, in April as compared with
March.
These groups do not include
Federal, State, or municipal con-
struction work, which has in
creased steadily under the meas
ureS now in course. Reports COM
ing to the department from vari-
Gus sources show employment
conditions were somewhat i'm
proved in April, with a marked
increase in employment in the
building trades.
Six industrial groups reported
increased employment in April
anthracite mining, quarrying,
electric railroads, power-light-wa-
ter plants, retail trade, and can
ming.
Usual Trend
April customarily shows but
little net change in employment.
and this year is no exception, as
the change shown in the 13 in
duStrial groups surveyed in April
as compared with March was
decrease of two-tenthS of / per
cent out of a total of nearly 5,000,-
900 employees; and the decrease
in the amount Of the pay rolls
was Seven-tenthS of l per cent.
The seven groups reporting de.
creased employment were manu-
featuring, bituminous coal min
ing, metalliferouS mining, crude
petroleum production, telephone
and telegraph operation, whole
sale trade, and hotels. These
changes were almost entirely sea-
Sonal.
The 37,453 establishments re-
porting had in April 4,905,798 EN-.
ployes whose combined earnings
in one week were $131,157,S99.
Some Firms Gain
Although April 1929. was q
period of high employment and
of abnormally high payroll totals,
the printing industries, petroleum
refining, and Shipbuilding each
reported more employees in April,
1880, than in April, 1929, and in
creased payroll totals as we'll.
Chewing and smoking tobacco also
had more employees in April, 1880.
than IL months earlier. and
slaughtering and meat packing,
cast-iron pipe, and flour each
showed an increase in pay roll
totals over the period.
Fourteen of the 54 separate in
dustrieS had more employees in
April than in March, the notable
gains having been in brick, cement,
ice cream, fertilizers. rubber tires.
automobiles. cast-iron pipe. Struc-
tural ironwork, and iron and steel.
In each of these industries the
increases in pay roll totals were
considerably greater than the in
creaSeS in employment.
Drop Since March
April in comparison with March
showed employment loss in manu-
true in April in five out of seven
years preceding 1890. The 1905
establishments reporting in April
show 3,2O6,OO3 employees; for
March identical establishments
showed 3.223,66 employees. April
pay rolls showed an aggregate of
86.288.420 as against a March
pay roll of S86,789,417.
Each of the 10 separate indus
tries of the textile group reported
fewer employees in April than in
March. and among other indus
tries reporting losses were agricul-
tural implements, machine tools.
furniture, and electrical goods.
Increased employment of l per
cent was shown in April in the
Pacific geographic division, and
very small increases in the East
North Central, South Atlantic, and
East South Central divisions. The
other geographic divisions showed
a decrease in number employed.
