merchants, are sending out thous-
ands of letters* to planters, bankers
and merchants throughout the cotton
belt in a debire to help to bring
about the improvement ip the pres-
ent cotton situation. J. W. Jay &

this country. The letter

As curtailment is still in force among
V " American mills and the export move-
ment .continues to run behind last
season to the extent of over 600,000
bales-, liquidation of both contracts
and spot cotton weakened the posit-
ion, carrying spot prices in New
Orleans more than a cent below the

S&A : consideration of every cotton grower
in the South. When prices declined
to 10 cents and 12 cents a pound
under the record acreage of nearly
49,000,000 and the record production
of 18,000,000 bales in 1926, planters
cut acreage 10 per cent to 15 per
cent the following spring. This not
only brought about a smaller yield

of the price level and resulting re-
turns to the producer. Acreage was
Steadily increased during the two suc-
ceeding^ years until last season the
acreage was back almost to the high

an unremunerative figure.
It is to the great mass of independ-
ent growers that the importance of
acreage control must appeal in order
to become effective to the total out-
put. Partial reduction in acreage by
members of cooperative associations
'would not be sufficient to restore
prices to a profitable level. Regard-
less of the action of those who are
now cooperating under the activities
of the Farm Board Agencies, each
individual grower should feel called
upon to weigh the whole subject

An original Gulf Coast Lumberman poem.
This is the home the town built.
This is the home so clean and neat
That adds so much to the looks of the street;
That makes the strangers wish that they
Could take it along when they-go away.
And the neighbors are glad to everyone had
A hand dn the home the town built.
This is the youth with pep and Vim;
Clean, honest labor looks good to him;
He is the one who owns the place
As you can see by his satisfied face;
The property stands in his own name—
To "own a home" is plenty of fame—
And he takes part in the village biz.,
To hold up the value of what is his,
For this is sthe home the town built.
This is the maid so filled with love,
Who makes the home like the Heaven above-
Her "work" is "play" the whole day long, '
She fills the house with happy song,
For the house is new and clean you see,
And just as convenient as it can be—
For this is the home the town built.
But what is this army that stands outside
And watches the house with looks of pride ?
Why, they are the ones who helped to build
This HOME! No wonder with joy they're filled!
They, too, deserve their "place in the sun,"
For it is a wonderful work they have done—
Constructing the home the town built.
First, the ARCHITECT drew the plan;
Then the lot was got from a REAL ESTATE man;
The LAWYER found thatrthe title was right;
And the BANKER showed the money in sight. '
The LABORER dug the cellar so deep; ,
And the MASON made the foundation to keep
The CARPENTER bought from the ^LUMBER
• --YARD
All manner of wood, both soft and Hard,
To make the partitions, the shelves and the doors,
The shady porch and the wide, smooth floors.
The ROOFER shingled (perhaps he tinned)
And the GLAZIER guarded 'gainst too much wind.
The PLUMBER saw that the water was right;
The GAS and ELECTRIC men handled the light;
The LATHER and PLASTERER covered the wall
And the PAINTER finished the last of all;
And then—deny it if you can,
They call in the INSURANCE MAN.
But these are just the ones "who build;
The house is empty and must be filled;
So the rest of the town then takes a part
To prove that each has .a will and a heart
To make that house a HOME indeed—
And here is the rest of this jin&ly screed.
The FURNITURE mn gives a table and bed,
A chair and a carpet on which'to tread.
The DRYGOODS man provides the sheets
And towels and napkins for the eats.
The CROCKERY man sets up a cup
And a plate and dish from which to sup.
-The CUTLERY man then gives the tools,
(Knife, fork and spoon) by fashion's rules.
The HARDWARE dealer would think it strange -
If he- could not provide the range
Together with many a pot and pan
That a woman needs to feed a man. — —
These are the men, if the house is small,
Who help to build, but they are notall.
The base for the BRICKMASON'S solid wall
And the chimney above, so straight and tall.

Government Wants to Know Exactly
How Many Wage Earners
Are Oat of Work
By CALEB
Have you got a job?
At this minute that is the most im-
portant question in the whole United
States.
It is so important that President
Hoover has given special instructiohb
to tho Census Bureau 10 ask thaf
iiiipsfion of every man—and woman
in the United States as
as the census enumerators can cover
the ground. .
On the answer to this question,
which will bg the first census infor-
mation to be totalled and published
at Washington, will depend the ac-
tion of Congress and the Executives
as well as of business interests gen-
erally in the effort to restore- tho
nation to the state of unexampled
prosperity which we were enjoying
before the disastrous crash in the
stock market last October.
Nobody knows how many workers
are out of work today. There never
have been any actual figures of un-
employment. The two important facts
about the employment situation at
present are these,:
I-. There are from one million to
ohe million and a quarter more people
out of work now than there were in
March last year.
2. There are probably three quar-
ters of a million anore people at work
than there wcrp'on January first'
In other words, there were two
million or more people who normally
are emplbyed, who found themselves
out of jobs during the Fall of 1929.
but a third or more of those hav*.
have now gone back to work.. And
employment is increasing rapidly.
When you consider that there are
only about 26,000,000 people who are
accustomed to work for wages in the
United States, the percentage of
those thrown out of work between
October and January, when unem-
ployment was at its worst, is a very
nigh one; At this time of year 30
percent of workers in the building
trades are normally Unemployed. This
year in March more than 40 percent
of building trades workers had no
jobs. In other lines the percentage
was smaller.
ow, those are the Government's
res, but nobody knows whether
are correct or not, because the
Electing them <has l>een
sating the total from a

are all in, the Government and the
heads of the nation's business will
know exactly how many regular
workers haven't jobs, and where they
are located.
What gnofl will that, tin1'
Let The Review Do four Printing.
It will stimulate every agency of
tHe'government andevery industry
the purchasing power of the wager-
earners, to .go ahead with undertak-
ings which will put the unemployed
to work faster. Nobody but a luna-
tic -believes that the business inter-
ests of the country want people to
be out of work. The man out of
work can't buy.„.groceries or radios
or clothing or houses or automobiles.
"All the evidences indicate," Presi-
•dent Hoover said the other day, "that
the worst effects of the crash upon
unemployment will have been passed
during the next sixty days, with the
amelioration of seasonal unemploy-
ment, the gaining strength of other
forces, and the continued cooperation
of the many agencies actively co-
operating with the Government to
restore business and to relieve' dis-
tress."
When you answer the question
about your own job, then, to the
census enumerator, you will be doing
your share toward, hrjnging nhi
