writes.
One jif the ways by which it is hoped to improve the
situation for the cotton industry is - to find new uses for
eotton. However, the price factor may have a very impor-
tant bearing on the success of this effort. Cotton makes
jxkkI cellulose, for irvaance.Tnit If the price of cotton is high,
there are other products- from which cellulose can be made
and eotton*»may g<j begging from this growing industry.
Cotton is extensively used in automobile tires, but substi-
tutes are beirig introduced.

What is the Way Out?
The average farmer with sufficient land can produce,
harvest and market 50 bales of cotton at a considerably low-
tr cost per pound than he can raise 25 bales on curtailed
acreage. The gins, compresses, railroads, steamship tines and
mills can handle twice the average crop Of cotton without
'idditional equipment and on a much more profitable basis
than the present limited crops. They should even be able to1
reduce their charges and still be ahead. People can and will
buy more.cotton goods if ti»e price is lower.
Maybe it isn’t high priced cotton but low-priced cotton

Of course cotton has been low for the past ten years, buT
the trouble is that the Apierican price has been held slightly
above the world market. It costs the government a lot of
money to hold cotton production down. Why not go ahead
and pay that money to'the farmed on some other basis and
turn him Toosc and let him raise all the cotton he can or
wants to produce. ‘ - .
