A good many puggestiona have
been made as to how to stabalize
the price of cotton, some of them
good and sme bad, very little has
been shid however, bout educating
the public to using more cotton.
Texas and all the South are cot-
ton growing states and always will
be and it is going to be very diffi-
cult to cut down the acreage to any
extent. I have noticed a

some time.
I have four suggestions, which I
believe ould stabalize the price of
cotton:
First: Jute is one of the princi-
or competitors of cetton lm-
mense quantities are imported to
this country to be used in the manu-
ectur of bags, bagging for cotton
and othe. purpose* and I am inform-
ed that if cotton was used for this
purpose instead of jute that it
would utilize several million bales.
" depzrtment of commerce at
’Vi hing on, D. C. informed me that
the imports of burlap in 1925,
amounted to 625,815,937 pounds
valued at $85,027,954.00.
I lecently noted an article in the
Pallag News in which it was stated
that the Imperial Sugar Company of
Sugarland. Texas had arranged to
sack all their sugar, in the future,
in cotton bags instead of burlap,
ar ’ that it would require six or
peven thousand bales of cotton an-
nually for this purpose. If others
would do the same thing, large
quantities of cotton would soon be
utilized.
Second : If educational work was
dbne to cut down the use of silk to
one-half and cotton used in its
place, this would utilise a large
quality of cotton. I recently road
where the Society ladies of Boston,
Possachusetts and the People of
Ennis, Texae were using and recom-
mending the wearing of cotton dres;
scs instead of silk. Educational
work along thig line should be done
to encourage other* to do the same
thing.
Third: If each farm?, would cut
down his cotton acreage 25 per cent
and plant feed crops in its place
, and then supply himself with live-
tock, suc;- as hags, sheep, cattle,
‘urkevs, chi-kens, ete., nd use the
feed that was produced to feed this
livestock it would be very easy to
onvert same into money. The
town land owner should co-operate
lb terat in t!a c'tting down
r cotton and growing some feed
crops and whore necessary supply
hi* tenant with livestock to utilize
the feed—handling the matter, on a
fifty fifty basis,
Fou’th: If each farmer would
set aside 10 per cent of his cultiva-
ted land, especially land that has
been in cotton for a number of
years and where root rot has b en
/he worst thie year. and olant it in
clover and leguminous crops and
claw these under in the.., Spring,
they would help to get rid of -the
root rot and at the same time enrich
the land and put it in. fine condition
fo, succeeding crops.

-y, tailing pecple al* about
raisin* and how to use them and in
this way, created a new demand so
that today. I understand that raisins
are now sold by the producers on a
profitable basis.
The South Fas lost tin yen-,:;
i--- c dohars -ou cotton and I >
think if a fund of one million dol-
wne created by taking subscrip;
lions from growers, dealers and
others over the Southern States and
placed in the hands of a comretent
committee, to be used for pblicity
and educational work, so as to create
a new demand for cotton, this wor
being done through the newsnarers
and magaines all oyer the United
States, that money spent in this
way would bring the desired results.
In addition to /ne one milliondollars

ably be five million dollars worth

to use cotton bagwing for their ct

ton would roon adjust itself With,
ve-o little expense to anyone.
Cotton hags after being emptied.,
can be used by the former for a,
great many different purposes
-em kirlan rannot be lused and
Although cotton bags may cost more
than burlap, yet in th* long run, on
necour + of the other uses it can be
nut to. it will really be cheaper than
burlap : i
If others would do the same A8i
♦he Imnerial Sugar Comany; the
Boston ladles, and the neople of
Ennis, it would only be a short, time
until the price of cotton would be,
back to where it belongs with the
increased consumpton.
