Widely Ramified Influence ' I fkt tfl/) u or we Douin s Lotion Crop r From Baltimore Manufacturers' Rec ord, "Cotton; The Southern Woof In the Warn of American Agriculture, Man ufaemrlng and Commerce." Is the striking title of one vf the articles In "The South: The Nation's Greatest Asset," to be Issue;' March 27 by the Manufacturers' Record. The article *e significant in reflecting the Influence of cotton not only In this country, but in the world. .In this comprehensive report on cottor. there arc many facts of world-wide Interest, a few of which may be mentioned here In advance. Produced upon 86,000.000 acres, or 11.9 per cent, of the 294,343,000 acres devoted to twelve leading crops of the country in 1912, the cotton crop, in cluding the seed. In that year had a 'alue of $1,000,000.000. equal to 20.4 per cent, of the aggregate value, $4, 906,449.000, of those çrops. Upon something more than tne-eighth of the land devoted to those crops in the whole country the South produced one crop, cotton, having a value more than one-fifth of the aggregate value of the twelve crops. In the last census year. 1909, the value of all factory products In the United States was $20.672.062.000. In that year the value of the outputs of blast furnaces and iron and steel works and rolling mills was $1.317, 162,000, and the value of cotton goods, including hosiery and knit goods, and primary products of cotton seed, was $915.070,000. In the first-named in dustries 278,505 wage-earners were employed, and in the second group 474,701. The value of merchandise exported form the United States in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1912, was $2,204, 322.409, Of the total, raw cotton rep resented $566,849,271. manufactures of cotton $50,769.611 and cottosseed and Its products $42.142.181. an aggregate of $658.760.963, representing prodifets of the cotton plant, and 29.9 per cent, of the total value of alt merchandise exports from the country. In the thirty-three years between 1880 and 1912 there was exported from the United Slates merchandise to the value of 939,151.828,196. and of that total $9.685.282,138, or 24,7 per cent., wis the value of Southern cotton ex port ( a. In the thirty-three years the cotton crops of the South, Including seed, had an aggregate value of $16,452, 000,000, the output of all the gold mines of the world was worth $7.634, 105,600. and the output of all the sil ver mines was worth $3,459,909,642. The thirty three cotton crops had a value of $8.894,400 greater than the thirty-three years' gold production in the world and $5.357.984,758 greater than the combined gold and silver pro duction. In tho same period the value of exports of raw cotton from the South reached the sum of $2.685,854, 571. or $2,051,758,974 greater than the value of the world's gold production In tho same time. In no year since 1880 has the com bined output of all the gold mines and silver mines in the world equaled In value fie value of the South's cotton crop with Its seed, and in only five of the filrty-thcee years was the out put of all the gold mines in the world sufficient to pay for the cotton ex ported from tho United Stales. The value of merchandise exports from the United States In the thirty, three years was greater by Î9.162, 405.945 than the value of imports to this country, and that sum was $523. 151.629 less than the value of the South's raw cotton cxpoHed. Southern cotton fields, now repre sented in 30 per cent, of annual ex port merchandise values, are thus strikingly shown to be an essentially important factor, not onlv in the agri rulture of the United States. In tha manufacturing industries and com merce of the world, but in the basis of exehange. Southern cotton mills alone are now consuming annually more cotton than the South produced in 1868. more than U Pyle & Cronin's Fifth Anniversary Hosiery Sale Now Going On— I I m kê This is the Real Hosiery Event of the Year—the week which enables one to I "stock up" on Hosiery at very substantial j price sav ings.

Last year the 11,858.600 active spin dles in the South used 1.319.707,813 pounds of cotton, their number being 88.8 per cent, of those In all the mills total quantity consumed. Contempor aneously the active loom equipment of Southern mills Increased from 14,754, or 6.6 per cent, of the total of the country, to 252,279, or 35.5 per cent, of the total. These equipment statistics suggest not only the multiplicity, but also the multiformity of the Mouth s textile activities today, producing a hundred different linos of goods, spun, woven and knit. These facts clearly mark out the lask of tho South in this particular. It Is, of Its own initiative, or In eo-opera tlon with capita] from other parts, to take advantage of Us unsurpassed op portunities. to the end that by the lime the world shall be calling for an annual crop of 42,000,000 bales the South will be raising 30,000.000 of them, and instead of sending 65 per cent, of its crop tt other parts of the world for manufacturing, will he con suming that much at home In making goods for the markets of the world.
