This is hard to do when government neither knows nor seeks to know how many men and women i need jobs. It is hard to do when the laudable objective of helping the jobless is hampered by ignorance of who they are, or in what work they are skilled.

National boundaries mean n o more to economic laws than state boundaries. Now with our excellent 1937 crop, about 40 per cent of which must be sold abroad, we find the way to our old markets blocked by foreign cotton. The inevitable result is a lower world price for the new crop. This outcome, however, was not unhad expected. Other countries tried slmiliar schemes and failed. Britian and rubber, Cuba and sugar, Brazil and coffee were all good examples of the futility of crop control. Nature would have wiped out the cotton surplus in her own way. Actually it took the drougth to clean up the job in the end. The South's agricultural problem is basically deeper than two much cotton. It is lack, of proper diversification of crops Cotton has been over emphasized at the extreme of other products. The South realizes this and her agricultural bureaus are now encouraging diversification. But at the moment all eyes art forussed on "King Cotton". RECORD WORLD CROP Cotton consumption seems to follow a two year cycle. The 1936 1937 season was a record year for cotton use. So unless business Is teretnendously good it looks like the next twelve months will lie the "off season. If that's the case, cotton will be In a weaker position statistically and without interference the price might go ntill lower. Actually the best thing for the South is to let the price seek its own level. However something apparently had to be done politically to help " the planter". An toward prosperity another substantial gain in cotton use is possible. BOON TO CROP HANDLERS Even if the current drop in price of cotton continues it will not hurt us in the long run. It will help to prevent excessive plantings next year which high prices for this season's cotton would inevitably have brought on Good crops at medium prices pro duce for greater prosperity EVERYONE than short crops at high prices or big crops at low prices. There, are thousands of of towns through the South whose livelihood depends not on the price of the crop alone, but on the volume and the price. Warehouses, ginners, exporters, merchants, field hands, and the like are set up to handle bumper crops, not shortcrops. They are all rejoicing over the first good harvest in five years The attitude of those who want crop control is easy to understand Planters and farmers say to me con-- ! "corporations have been trolling output for years. When inventories get to heavy, you sim- ply shut down your factories. Y ni do not make your products at a loss". That, of course is true.1 Manufacturers then close up shop and lay off their people. The indtis trialists, however, do not ask federal subsidies for their closed factories nor do they ask for pegged prices. "No" my farm friends reply, "but manufacturers peg prices by boosting tariffs lo keep out cheaper foreign goods. This encourages other countries to plant their own cotton and wheat thus cutting down th demand for our products". unexpected but important consequences. director of erator, the firstn 1 Forest and Range the Experiment Station, has announ- service of the ,ocal field days at the Desert Range manufacturer.
