The Cotton Problem
In connection with the discus
sion of the advisability of cotton
being1 made non contraband by
the Naval Conference in London,
the Philadelphia Inquirer says it
probably would be a good thing
for this country if no such action
were taken «-and cotton be retain
ed as one of the contraband arti
cles, since such action would have
a tendency to compel'the United
States to keep its raw cotton at
home instead of selling it to for
eign manufactures at starvation
prices to enable them to make
big profits out of its manufacture
into goods, and the distribution
of such goods to the world at J
large.
Commenting upon this view of j
the matter, the Inquirer says:
"It seems utterly absurd that
the United States, with all this |
raw material at hand, should be;
f/a c-i^l I i ^ of lif-fln r\ v*c\ fi t" !
in order that other countries may |
become rich and powerful from :
handing it. If this cotton were
to be kept at home, it would
have to be manufactured into
goods right here, and the status
of the nation's foreign trade
would be fixed definitely, secure
ly and qomrnandihgly. We are
in the position tq supply practi
cally the world with cotton goods,
and yet we neglect to grasp the
opportunity. Just as we have
permitted other nations to cap
ture the ocean-carrying trade,
we have been satisfied with sell
ing them raw cotton at beggarly
prices in order that it may be
manufactured by England, ' Ger
many, Switzerland, Belgian) and
other countries, when WP f»Houjd
be doing that enormous manur
facturing business ourselves."
While our Philadelphia con
temporary is undoubtedly correct
-ΐ..-:,·»*·-y-·»·.
I in claiming that it would be bet
I ter for us to manufacture oui
raw cotton into goods at home
and supply the world with the
manufactured goods it needs,
reaping the immense profits our
I selves which other countries ntfw
' make, the fact remains that the
building up of a vast manufac
turing industry is not the work
of a few days, but the slow de
velopment of years. It is no
longer true that we ship all of
our raw cotton abroad to be
manufactured, since we now spin
and weave five million bales of it
into cloth at home, both for do
mestic consumption and for ship
ment abroad.
The cotton manufacturing in
dustry has made wonderful
strides in the United States in
recent years particularly in the
Southern Slates, and it is not be
yond the leilm of probability
that the day will come when we
will manufacture practically the
while of our cotton crop into
goods at home. In the mean
time it is of the highest advan
tage to have foreign markets
ready and willing to absorb the·
surplus of our cotton production.
No industry advances by leaps
and bounds, but is thp product of
steady growth. The manufac
turing Industry has acjvançed
probably as rapidly as any other
American industry, but it would
not have been able to have sup
ported the raw cotton^industry of
the South unaided nor have ab
sorbed the constantly increasing
production, hence the export
trade has be^n a decided
tage, and it is a fpista}ce to φ
tnat a pieasurp 'p§lpi}l^e(J to
darnage thèlêxppFt traoe would
be of advantagô to the domeslic
manufacturing branch of the
industry.
MaKing More Money Out of
Cotton Crops
is merely a question of using enough of the right
kind of fertilizers.
Virginia-Carolina
F ertilizers
to
are the right kind.
The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study
your soil. Find out what it lacks. Then apply the
necessary fertilization and the results will surprise you.
See what Mr. W. C. Hays of Smith Station, Ala., did. He says:
"I planted about 30 acres of some 'gray sandy land' that had been in
cultivation for over 20 years, and used 300 pounds of Virginia-Caro
lina Fertilizers per acre, and ! expect to gather SO bales from,
the 30 acres." This is why we say it is the right kind. We haVe
hundreds ofletters like this, and even stronger, in praise of Virginia
Carolina Fertilizer for cotton.

it is also a fact that we now con

In memory of Mr. H. J. McNutt.
ι On the evening of February 9, the
; icy hand of dajili lay no..l j.i one oc
our high esteemed neighbor!, Mr. H. J.
McNutt, and bore his gentle spirit on
its snow white wings and landed it in
the home of the soul. He was taken
sick some weeks ago, and lay oa bed
of sore afflictions until God in His infin
ite wisdom saw fit to call him home.
As for his christian life, we found he
lived a christian for nearly sixty long
years and the longer he served God
the happier he was.
He was always found at his post,
doing his duty as a chris ian and as a
citizen, alv/ays in a cheerful way and
ready to lend a helping hand to up
builu Christ-Kiiiirdom lie was a mom
ber of tht Methocist Episcopal church,
a bright and shining lignt in the church
and in the community in which ha Jived.
He will ever be remembered by those
who Knew him for his christian influ
ence and kindly features. Vfe gaiçj
some few days before he 'Hhat he
was ready to die and woujdbe afc Feat"
Fje was à man qf pl(|e war-actor and
fui! of'the HPly Spirit, which made all
wlio eame in contact with him know he
waa a follower of Christ.
He was one of the veterans who
fought in the Civil War. He leaves be
hind to weep, a wife and many rel;j
tives and friends, but our Iqss is his
eternal gain. In time 9,f sorrow may
