AMERICAN COTTON ASSOCIATION
I BOLL WKKVIL CONTROL CAMPAIGN
i
St. Matthews, S. Nov. 22. ? "The
cotton crop of 1U21 has been harvest
ed and will noon have passed through
thegiunerles and entered Into tl?c
channels of Hale and distribution into
the commerce of the world. The Fed
eral Crop Reporting Bureau estimates
the yield to be approximately 13.000,
000 pales of 500 pounds. The carry
over August 1st was estimated to have
been 2.000.000 ha les, making a grand
estimated total of supplies for the j
1W24-25 season of 15.000,000 bales. Do- j
mestlc consumption to Octofer 31. 1?
325.300 bales; exports to same date, j
1,902.213 bales, total 3,287,513 bales. |
Based upon the same ratio of domes- ,
tic consumption and exports for the'
next nine months, the total would
amount to 13,150,000 bales, leaving on
hand as a carryover August 1, 1925,
1,850,000 bales. There is no certainty of
the continued heavy exports which
have been unusual for the past three
months.
.Enormous Acreage; Small Held
"The Government estimated acre
age planted in 1924 was 40,403,000
acres. According to the present fore
cast of production, it will require an
average of 3.07 acres to produce a
bale. The average cost of growing
cotton thlB season is estimated at 27
cents per pound of lint, bulk line all
grades. The average price received
for all gradeB will not likely exceed
22 cents, indicating a net average loss
to the growers of $25 per bale, or a
grand total loss to the cotton belt of
$325,000,000. This is the penalty of an
abnormally large acreage to produce
an oversupply of raw cotton to be
sacrificed at prices less than the cost
of production. This is poor business
and cannot be continued without South
wide disater.
Shortage of Food and Feed Crops
A careful census of the cotton states
(indicates a widespread shortage of
food and feed crops. Over wide areas
! In all of the states there will not be
hlufflclent corn, wheat, oats, forage and
mept to last the farmers through Janu
ary 1925. Only in scattered sections
has small grain crops been planted
the present fall season.
Boll Weevil Menace
"From the borders of Virginia to
western Texas the infestation of boll
weevils has been unusually heavy in
the late cotton. There will be millions
of the Insects in hibernation this win
ter throughout the length and breadth
of the cotton belt. The situation Is
ripe for a duplication of enormous
weevil damage next year comparable
to the years of 1921-22. The cotton
stalks of but few fields were plowed
up before frost and but slight Interest
has been shown by farmers in adopt
ing the Indirect methods of weevil con
trol so far this season. The growers,
generally, appear to think that the
weevil menace to a large extent has
disappeared. This idea finds expres
sion In reports from all sections of
the South that the farmers are now
intern upon largely increasing their j
present cotton acreage in 1925. If this j
sentiment develops into an actuality
next spring, regardless of food and I
I feed crop acreage, and good season^
prevail, or adverse weather with heavy
weevil damage, the general distress
and financial condition of the cotton
states will be worse a year hence than
in the memorable days of 1921.
Hankers Can Sol\e Problem
"Open appeals to farmers to re
I strict cotton acreage have always met
with failure. There is but one depend
able safeguard which can be employ
ed to hold back the growers in their
I mad rush toward financial destruc
tion. This power lies in the rural
banks of the country. The hand that
I controls the .pu^se strings of credit
| will dictate the cotton acreage ami
[the system of farming adopted in 192."?
Supply merchants are no longer im
portant factors in extending credit?
I for supplies. There must be concerted
| action by the Bankers' Associations
in each state. The Arkansas Banker*
Association has recently subscribed
to the following oath which is expect
ed to be enforced by each memlx r
banker, which is as follows:
"First, I will not In future loan a
cotton farmer a dollar . unless he
agrees and does raise his food and !
feed. Second, That I will encourage |
and aid him in dairying (three to five ,
cows) or one to three acres of pea
nuts, fruits or other money crops." j
"The above oath Is good but it !
should go further in limiting the coP j
ton acreage per plow to not exceed- ;
ing 8 to 10 acres and requiring an ex- I
pansion of acreage In food and feed '
crops, planting soil building crops!
under a proper system of rotation, so
that the lands will become more pro- i
ductlve, each farm self-sustaining and -
the production of cotton restricted to I
a surplus cash income. The Feders'
Reserve Banks should require such
agreement on the part of the borrower
attached to all cotton farm loans
when such paper is sent In by the lo
cal bank for rediscount The basis of
risk on such loans should be the know
lcd*e that the borrower is operating
s self-sustaining farm as to food and
feed requirements.
"The enforcement of this policy by
local bankers in 1921 was largely re.
sponsible for reducing the cotton acre
age that year five million acres and
saving the South from almost univer
sal bankruptcy. The samepollcy should
be more rigidly enforced In 1925 and
become a permanent feature of bank
loans to cotton growers. It will be the
best service ever rendered to the
growers and tlie South as a whole.
It will clarify the cotton situation, es
tablish a permanent system of diver
sified farming, rebuild the soils and
bring back prooperlty to the agricul
tural Industry. It will re-establish the
purchasing and debt paying power of
the farmers, mak i farming attractive
and enhance the value of farm lands
throughout the cotton belt."
