"The conaump tion of American cotton in America mutt be increased from the present average of around 23 pounds per capita annually, and tf all our peo ple were provided with ample clothes to keep them warm and suf ficient cotton sheet* and towel* and cotton underwear, this figure would reach 40 or 50 pounds " Mr. Mann pointed out that the United States consumption during the 1937-38 year was only 5,748.000 hales a* compared with 7,950,000 the preceding year, and that exports of U. S. cotton have steadily declined from around 7,500,000 bales annual ly in pre-depression year* to 5.748, 000 bales last year. He said experts are predicting exports of American cotton for the current year will not exceed 3,500,000 bale*.

"The only Immediate means of re ducing the world carryover of cot ton which by July 1 will be the largest in history—14,250.000 bales —would be war, and of course, op thinking man want* that.” Mr. Mann declared. “The other hope is through an intelligent coropaign for increas ing the use of cotton, a humane campaign of providing the needy with cotton goods through some government agency, and a produc tion campaign to produce the cotton best suited for our domestic mills band of such a quality that it will 1 bring a premium." He quoted figures showing that the past nine years the quality of North Carolina cotton has been im proved from 80 per cent of 7-8-inch or le*s to B0 per cent of 15-16 or better, but added there is “still need to increase the length to at least an inch or better.” He said the mills of the State are creating a huge demand lor quality cotton and said that practically all cotton produced in North Carolina can be sold at a premium if farmers will only plant good seed. “The few extra cents It requires to plant an acre In improved cotton seed over gin-run varieties will on the aver age return a profit of more than ten-fold," he said, “and remember, it takes no more land, no more fer tilizer, no more cultivation In any way—except the small outlet for good seed—to produce this better cotton that will bring a premium." Mr. Mann said that the Cotton As sociation i* serving as a clearing house for farmer* who have Im proved seed for sale or for farmers who are interested m securing seed one year from the breeder at a reasonable price.
