m SITUATION •
A Suggested Program For
Dealing With It
(By B. W Kllgore, Director, N. C
Exp. Station and Extension Service,
Truujirer N. C. Cotton Ah.shi iation )
The Sceirh,-arid North Carolina par
tlcularly, wrought wonderfully well
(luring the war period. Large crops,
except cotton, iiave* been made, par
ticularly food crops. .The cotton crops
of the country for the four yearn of
the war—l9ls to 1«»18 —were 11.700,-
0(>0 bales, J 1,302,000, 11,450,000 and
11.182.00 ft, or an average of 11
(jhloh against the four pre-war crops
of IHI 1 14 of K,136,000, 14.150,000, 13,
703.000, 15.683,000," or an average of
1*.922.000 hales, which is an average
of af.HUfin Ifflli'H Hl' T" unniiallv lyinr
to. than during the war period.
The. acreage of lust year wan hill
OfS.OOu r lejss tlfiiu for 1014 when tut l
bumper crop of lfi, J 35,000 balea was
produced.. The low production for
iho pant four years has hewn due
rnainlv tOf bad .seasonal conditions In
Texas and Oklahoma, flood winter
ruins already have been had in these
States, and with the_ same acreage as
til tfl'lfr, near 3C.Hitn;r>W-'-au«f uood sea
sons, a crop well iiicb as large as our
laj-Ki st can and Hkelv would be made,
which Is far beyond what there are
any reasons to (hlnk the world will
consume.
Eiirj Crop, Low Price.
Oiw lnuuiiej nutJuii yjop of lfj.000,»
000 hales Uj 1914 l«rouslil tXMI dOO.OOO
and our 11 .Mlfl.OOO. bah' crup of 1917,
brought the South f1,600,000.000, or
twice as much ap the bumper crop
We know what this tneani- T "liig crop
low price." Cotton at present prices
is at. If not below, the cost of produc
tion, and not an inconsiderable mini
her of North Carolina farmers have
cotton of two years cm hand.
It would Hecin that the world needs 1
nnd will consume at cost of proline
tion, pi its a fair profit, the small crop
of 19IR, especially as this is'otie of
four small crops In succession, the av
enp' for the fmir yonrn heinß 11.411
ftoo hnles. or 14.0O(T,flO0 lons for flic
four year war--period" than for the
four year prewar period.
To Make This Effective. *
What can he done to make this ef
fectlve? A

pram *• part of the the
mori 'i md the farmer for holding
nnd KelJiMf. should bring
. 2 Alonp with the movement to on
able lire fanner, the merchant and the
hanker, or whoever has cotton, to
nold It till the rlglit time to sell, must
Cii a |iriigr:ifn to house the staple.
3 W'lrat Is perhaps more Important
when measured hi lornis of Its effect
