PREDICTS SHORTAGE IN
SUPPLY OF RAW COTTON
American Attaehe at IiihIoii SujsJ

KKSl l.T OK KXHAISTIVK STH J
The world' cotton acreage must
undergo u very marked expansion in:
the years to come If the supply of:
raw cotton is to keep pace with the I
world's needs. Alfred P. Dennis.
American attache at London, reported
to the department of commerce after!
an exhaustive study of the world's
capacity for consuming cotton goods. ;
At the present time, he said, there j
is a record carry-over of raw cotton.
Combined with this there is an Im
mense amount of under-production In!
the chief cotton spinning centers ofj
the world. There has been a marked I
set-back to the purchasing power of'
the world lu the amount of cotton
goods and a corresponding set-back
to tlie production of cotton. I
"It is obvious." says Mr. Dennis,
"that the world has emerged from
the war with a production capacity
of raw cotton considerably below its
requirements. Co-ln-cidentally there
has been a marked decline in the
output of nun u factored cotton stuffs,
that. In turn, being a reflection of re
duced buying power in the great:
cotton consuming centers of the
w 01 Id.
"With a return of the world to a
normal state of economy, buying will
be suiiied. idle and short time looms
and spindles will be speeded up. and"
an Insistent demand for raw mate
rial may be anticipated.
"Far-sighted representatives of the
British cotton trade are already agi
tating the question of Increasing the
production of raw cotton within the
empire.
"I seems established that the need
of the world for cotton goods within
the near future will grow more rap
idly than will the extension of cotton
growing areas. Increase in the sim
ply of cotton depends very largely on
the finding of fresh cotton territory
and Improving the strains of existing
known cotton.
"The crop In America, which had
been averaging for the five years,
1895-99. 10.000.000 bales, Jumped H
vears later or for the five years,
1910-14, to an average of 13,500.000
bales. Production 111 other countries
also increased. The Inference must
be accepted, therefore, that through
the Increase In the world's popula
tion and through the extension of
consumption to new markets as well
as through the inclusion of cotton into
new utilities, such as automobile
tires, the world required an increase
in Its supplv of cotton. It Is stated
on high authority that the world in
1914 was in a position to absorb in
manufactured goods at least 70o.no
bales of cotton more each year than
it consumed the year before.
"One of the prime factors In the
present dav equation is the Impover
ishment of the world. Trade with
hnth Russia and Germany has
amounted to little, and while the ca
pacity In general of Central and
Eastern Europe to buy cotton poods
has not been destroyed It has been
greatly Impaired."
PHOVIDKXCK M THE ONLY HOPE
f hantaaaoa Week" Here April 28 (o May 5
next season finds no basis in acre-ace J
reduction. Providence may tape a
hand and so reduce the crop that high
prices will result; that is the only
way the cotton crop has ever been re
duced by boll weevil, flood or
drought. Last year it was claimed
that the farmers were urged to plant
big crops and that jood prices weie
practically promised. Nobody had
such authority. The big crops last
year were the rt suit of high prices
the year before and that alone. They
took chances, grnibled and lost. Hut,
whatever basis, if any. there was for
grievance against anybody or any
thing when the bottom dropped out of j
the market and a big crop produced :
at the highest cost ever had to be(
sold, if sold at all, much under cost,'
there c:in be no complaint this year.;
Not only is there nothing in the situ
ation to promise profitable prices for
average crops of cotton and tobacco j
next fall, but the urge to cut acreage j
has been general and the customary ;
planting time is lacking. Cotton can
hardly be sold at all now. Which Is to ;
say that if the conditions this year
did not secure adequate acreage re-j
duction, then It is clear that nothing
except Providence can handle that!
that situation. We can't get on with
situation. We can't get on without a '
money crop, hey say, notwithstand-j
lug the so-called money crop sells
under cost.
Hut with all that, if low prices pre-'
vail ami n next fall there will e ;
nianv who will blame it on the gov-i
eminent and the money power; many
who will Insist that Contress could !
pass a law thut would make it all ,
right. I

Parker Believe an Estimated Acre

(From the Statesvllle Landmark)
The Information gathered by Mr.
Frank E. Parker, uovernment crop
reporter for this atate. touching re
ductions In cotton and toDacco acre
age glvea small hope of a crop reduc
tion sufficient to Insure a profitable
nrice for these products. The reports
indicate a reduction of 33 1-3 per
cent In tobacco acreage and 30 per
cent In cotton, and Mr. Parker fears
these are over-estimates. Heduction
In fertiliser prices and "somewhat
steadier tendencies of finance and in
dustrial activities" have, he fears,
been too much for cotton and tobacco
growers.
With even 33 1-3 per cent reduc
tion in tobacco the acreage would be
13 per cent In excess of the 1917
croo. With exnorts of tobacco reduc
ed 38 per cent last year it is evident
that, with a good season, there in
be such a tobacco crop next fall ai
will be an effectual barrier to higti
prices.

Parker, "it will not be enoush to
counterbalance the heavy rlo.ks of
corrv-over on hand."
