' Cotton Returns on Cotton are as yet incom plete, but with the price now holding firm around 12 1-2 cents (as this cata logue goes to press) and likely to go higher, the 1915 crop (estimated at about 11,000,000 bales) will greatly ex ceed in value the 1914 crop of 16,000,000 bales; and, with decreased cost of production," this means an enor mous gain in net revenue for cotton growers as compared with last year. And, also, cotton planters will have large additional revenues this year from othsr crops planted as substitutes for cotton. We cite above only the principal crops, but total value of all U. S. crops forf 1915. is about $11,000,000,000. as against about $10,000,000,000 for 1914, which means that the farmers of the U. S. wiU Hav about ONE BILLION DOLLARS MORE topend than last year; and, with cotton mills, iron and steel mills workingjnjght and day, fac- tories;busy 'evfryw;here,jrailroads show- ing increased earnings, and banks ovej flowing wittiTnoriey, it certainly looks like PROSPERITY is with us again, ' WEST Fillip. bAUAH LtQUlKt.
