BRAZIL COTTON
 CREATES RICHES

Memphis, Tenn. (UP)-- Brazil, where cotton plants grow taller than men, today potentially is cap- able of raising annually enough cot- ton to supply the worlds needs, in the opinion of Dr. R. D. Daffin, Presbyterian minister, who spent 30 years as a missionary in the South African country.
 Dr. Daffin pointed out, however, that although such production was possible, North American growers need have little fear of such an eventuality for at least 70 years. At present, he said, lack of agricultural tools and machinery and general ignorance of efficient farming meth- ods was holding down production.
 'SThere has been traditional friend- ship between Brazil and the United States" he declared. T don't think we need to begrudge them the cot- ton they are growing. It will be a long time before they have enough gins and blows"
 The Brazilian government is en- couraglng the growth of cotton be- |cause it needs exchange, pr. Daffin said. Cotton offers South Amer lean growers a second money crop"
