A Sound Economic Position

Valley legislators are to be commended for their at
titude toward any measure which would make the plant
ing of cotton in Texas during the year 1882 illegal.
In the first place, as pointed out by G.. G. Henson,
president of the Valley Gin Co., in an interview with The
Brownsville Herald on Monday, there are sections of
Texas where farmers would absolutely be reduced to the
point Of starvation if compelled to stop the planting Of
cotton.
No money crop is available for planting in those sec
tons other than cotton, and an absolute cessation Of cot
ton planting would leave those farmers in a pitiable con-
dition.
In the second place, it is altogether likely that cut
ting off the cotton acreage in the Valley would result, as
pointed out by Representative Milton West, in a largely in
creased vegetable acreage which would prove extremely
disastrous to Valley growers.
This increased vegetable acreage would not be found
in the irrigated sections so much as in the dryland sec
tons of the Valley which are now planted almost wholly
to cotton. Release that land from cotton and the farmers
of those sections would be forced to raise vegetables in
self protection.
1t would appear that Of all the schemes proposed,
those which propose the holding out Of a certain proper
ton of the 1881 and 1882 crops are the soundest in prin-
ciple.
AS pointed out by Mr.. Henson, the holding out Of one
bale in every three would reduce the cotton crop Of this
year on the market from Is million to 10 million bales.
Hold this years crop down to 10 million bales, and if
the resulting price increase is not satisfactory, hold the
1882 crop down to the same figure. The third bale sur
plus left over from the two years would give a crop Of 10
million bales in 1888 without the planting of a single acre.
AT the present price of cotton the farmer can well
afford to keep some of his cotton in storage, as the price
he gets for it on the market will not pay the cost Of pro
duction and amounts to so little in ready cash that the
money value Of one bale in every three will hardly be
missed.
The situation, serious as il is, has its bright spots.
For years economists have been telling the south that it
must get away from the one crop system with cotton the
one crop.
As long as cotton was bringing a price which repre-
scented even a little profit to the grower, it was hard to
make the farmer who had raised the staple for years,
realize. the exact fix he was in. With cotton down to vr-
tually nothing, it becomes easier to point out the way the
cotton farmer should have trod in years gone by and to
suggest that it is not too late to go that way in the future.
We do not believe that any measure which may be
passed by the Texas legislature will prove a satisfactory
solution to the economic distress in which the cotton
farmer of the state is placed.
Permanent relief for the cotton farmer can come
only from the cotton farmer himself, and must be based
on well set out principles of crop reduction combined with
diversification Of his crop paintings.
