THE SOUTH MUST MEET IT Dr. Knapp, Government Ex pert, Tells How It Can Be Done and Profitably. Associated Frets Greenville, Miss.. Jan. 17. —Forty years hence the world will require of the United States a round 50,000,000 bales of cotton from which to fashion its clothing. Those astonishing figures were given today by Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, of the department of agricul ture, who delivered an address here on “Cotton, the Greatest of Cash Crops.” The government expert is concluding a speaking tour of the southern states under auspices of the Southern rail way . “Look for a moment at the increas ed' demands for cotton,” .said Dr. Knapp. “If you note carefully, you ob serve that it has doubled once in about 22 years. If we estimate 13,000.000 bales as a minimum supply on the part of the United States for the world is clothing at the present, we go back 22 years and find that a little more than 6,000,000 bales were sufficient at tha* 'time, and 22 years prior to that 3,000,- 000 bales filled the-demands, while 22 rears before that 1,500,000 met the ex igencies of trade. “If we pursue the saw line for the future, we discover that in 1932 the world will require of us 26,000,000 bales and in 1954, 52,000,000 bales of cotton must be produced in the United States. Here is one of the most wonderful op portunities for wealth that has been known within the historic period. Our lands and climate are exceedingly- well adapted to the production of the fleecy staple, and the intelligence of the farm ers of the south and their long expe rience with cotton have equipped them to do the work and do it well.” Diversification of crops and a lesser acreage in cotton, but with a greater yield per acre is advocated by Dr. Knapp to meet the situation, lie laid especial emphasis on the need for good drainage on the plantations in order that the planters get a good stand. Of equal importance, he pointed out, was DR. FIELDING SPECIALIST Catarrh, Nose, Throat, Stomach. Liv er and Bowels; also Kidney. Bladder, Skin, Blood, Nerve Trouble and Private Diseases of Men. PBACTICE LIMITED TO OFFICE Office, Drug Rooms and Laboratory Suites 421, 422, 423 and 424 Fourth Floor, Hicks Building. Hours, 9 to 12, 2 to 5; Sundays, 9 to 12 only. MONDAY, the seed bed, the seed and the subse quent cultivation of the growing crop. ■ He also advanced the necessity for | planting earlv maturing varieties of [ cotton an<l cotton that puts forth I fruit limbs among the first brandies. The rotation of crops along scientific lines, in the opinion of the government | expert, would compel the breaking up I of many of the large plantations and | the adoption of a plan of cultivation i along co-operative lines. “It certainly will modify very much ! the tenant plant,” he said, “for hith-I erto we have leased our lands and al-1 lowed the tenant to farm at his will. । In future the successful planter will be i obliged to have his plantation super-1 vised and his work done according to definite plans. | “In the case of a large number of independent farmers it will require i that one man be employed to super . vise and give special directions to the . small fanners, because it will never be i safe, under boll weevil conditions, to । allow the old, loose way of cultivat ; ing cotton to continue. It is sure to ! result in failure. Jn fad, it has al ! ways been a failure to a great ex j tent.” In the south’s preparation to meet ‘ the world’s increasing demand for its greatest crop, the towns and cities would hare to bear a share, said Dr. Knapp. In order to care for the labor the growth of the industry would de mand in the summer, and which would be practically idle in the winter months, industries would have to be established that would care for this idle army. “Tn some sections some of those in dustries will be carried on only in the winter,” he said. “Thus the farmer will be obliged to find more continu ous labor for his employes. Hitherto he has expected that the tenant farmer or the farm laborer would earn all that was necessary during the summer, but we are coming into a more strenuous life and labor must be provided for the winter. ’ ’ Dr. Knapp suggested that the diver sification of crops and the household garden would offer a partial solution of the problem, while clearing and fencing also should mark the winter months. ALICE O’DELL SAYS SHE WILL LEAVE SAN ANTONIO Alice O’Dell, the woman who rushed into police headquarters Saturday night and demanded that she be locked up in jail, v.as arraigned before Judge Buck ley in the police court this morning and on a charge of vagrancy was fined $2O.

ROCKEFELLER'S POWER WILL NOT SOLIE WHITE ME PROBLEM Rescue Workers Are Discussing Outcome of Kings County Grand Jury That Is Probing Great Evil. New York, Jan. 17. —John R. Rocke feller Jr. has been appointed foreman of the Kings county grand jury, or dered to sift the infamous white slave traffic. Can the power of the house of Rockefeller unCover evidence to send the men higher up in this national shame to the fate they deserve 1 Men and women who have given years to work among the unfortunate victims of the “cadet system” ap preciate the monumental task of young Rockefeller. Many prediet that his undertaking will come to nothing, be cause the victims seldom talk. And because they know the girls upon whom they prey will not talk, the New York “cadets” laugh in their sleeve at investigation. To get an idea of the work young Rockefeller is attempting I talked to two of the most famous women res cue workers in the United States. “Women are so constituted that they never tell,” said Miss Margaret Luther, Bowery sentinel of the Flor ence t'rittenden mission. “And un less they do tell, how can the grand jury secure evidence to convict the men who trade upon their virtue! “In the years I have spent in this work I have questioned not less than 15,000 girls, and 1 do not know to this day why they refuse to give evidence. If they would talk the conviction of the cadets and the smashing of the system would be easy. “I have had girls point ont men to whom they gave money, but when I called a policeman to arrest the men, the girls refused to testify. “Two instances of this incomprehen sible attitude are typical. We had a beautiful, frail little girl who for three weeks was locked in a room to which men were admitted by a cadet. The cadet entered the room but twice in this time. When the girl became ill he ran away, leaving the door locked, and if neighbors had not found the girl she would have died. We kept her in a hospital a month, and when able she returned to the man. “Another girl was terribly beaten by her angry youthful master, and after two months in a hospital return ed to him. “Woman's love keeps the white slave traffic alive. It stands to pro tect the men who debase this love and the law,” said Mrs. F. M. Freeman.

Effective evidence can be had only from the women vic tims, and they will not testify. “Every one of these girls actually believes the man who debases her loves her and her alone. No matter how in humanely he treats her, he has but to assure her occasionally that he loves her and she will do his bidding. “Longing for love fills the breast of every woman, and these girls, real izing they have little chance to gain the love of another man, cling to the brutes who sell them, with pathetic i tenacity. ‘ ‘ That’s why they won’t tell.
