Mechanization Of
Agriculture Topic
Has Many Angles
LUBBOCK, Tex.— (UPi — Me-
chanization of agr iculture need
cause no great upsurge in un-
employment, th" second annual
belt wide cotton mechanization
conference was told here.
W. A. Roberts of Milwaukee,
vice president of the Allis-Chal-
mets Manufacturing Company,
said, "a prosperious agriculture
creates its own employment.
"If we could double the farm
income of the South, we could
go a long way toward eliminat-
ing the fear of unemployment
caused by displacement due to
mechanization."
Robert's ^aiil th ' South's prob-
lem could be answered by more
mechanization and by divcrsifi
cation in crops.
On the first score, he said,
progress was being made. His
company's Gadsden. Ala., plant
began turning out small tractors I
last April and bv November will j
have shipped mote tractors than >
were on all the state's farms'
combined in 1940.
Roberts said that 10 of the 17
states leading in farm equipment
investment were also leaders in !
agricultural income. Only Texas j
of the southern states was!
among the group.
Increased mechanization is es-
pecially important. Roberts said,'
to the' small farmer. He cited i
statistics showing that 65 per
cent of the nation's cotton is!
grown on farms of seven or'
fewer acres
"We've got to <"'ow some cot-
ton all over the South." he said.
"We can't grow ten million bales ;
on the South Plains of Texas j
and in the Mississippi Delta."
He left tiie field of cotton to
recommend that toe South would
do well to emu.lat'. such agricul-
tural states as Wisconsin and
Missouri, which have benefitted
greatly by development of ex-
tensive livestock, grains and pas-
ture programs.
The cotton confeience ended
today. More than 100 persons
were registered for the three-day
even, which had as its aim dis-
cussion of means to better en-
able I'. S. cotton to keep its
position in the face of strong
competition from synthetic fibres
and imported cottons.
