N. Y. EDITOR TALKS OF COTTON. ;
Walter R. Brown at St. Matthews
Has Ijoarncil Much.
(Speech made by Walter B. i
Brown, editor of tho Now York Com- |
merdai, before a mooting of tho
Calhoun County Cotton Association,
at St. Matthews, November 16.)
Condomen: Another big mau is
Mr. Waunamaker and another big
man is Mr. Whitman, tho owner of
the New York Commercial.
I think ! might as well tell you
how it came about that I am down
here. Mr. Wa ima ma ker invited Mr.
Whitman to go down to Now Orleans j
in September and speak before Ii is
association. Mr. Whitman could not j
go and asked mo to go. saying. "I :
am a Southern man, horn in Ken- j
tucky, and I know tho South, but you
do not. If you are te be tho editor
of tliis paper you should have first
hand information regarding tho
South and you should find tills out
yourself; therefore I think that you
should go down and meet these peo
ple and study tho situation."
While on this trip I stopped at
different points in tho South on the
wny down and on my roturn 1 met
the people and did not get back
to New York until two weeks later.
I got down there with the Northern
Idea. 1 want to tell you frankly
that I bad the idea that the South
and tlio Southern cotton farmer were
really profiteering. Mr. Whitman
told mo I was wrong. I got down
to Now Orleans and 1 met the grow
ers faco to face. 1 mixed among
them and talked to them. I talked
with men from Mississippi, CJeorgia,
Alabama, Texas and the Carolinas
and Oklahoma. i bey all told mo
the samo story. There was no
chanco for their getting together.
They did not oven know I was going
to speak to thom. All of this opened
my eyes. 1 saw that tho South bad
a problem and I tell you that tho
North does not know that the South
has a problem.
I then became intensely interested,
1 went back and talked to Mr Whit
man and ho said to me, "Well, I
thought it would open your eyes,"
and l said to him, "Tho first chance
J get I am going back South," I had
learned a little and I wanted to get
a bettor Idea of the plans that tho
South was undertaking under the
leadership of tho American Cotton
Association. I wanted to soo their
plans for doing away with tho old
methods of handling cotton, and this
is the reason I have come hero. I
wanted to go on to Atlanta, but I
find it necessary to return to New
York.
I want to tell you gentlemen that
this thing has opened up to me like
a new book, it ls a new tiling to
me, I have read a great deal about
cotton and I thought I knew a lot
from the marketing standpoint and
from the cotton exchange standpoint,
but the best way to study tho ques
tion Js to come down hero and get
into tho cotton fields, and I want to.
tell you thai iii!? luis boee a wonder

C-H*,-.wvoviij-;. Low io vat a persimmon l
.,T*was introducen f'o:- che !'?i".?t time to

i'eopie Hunt the Norla eau learn
much from the South. 1 began to
look into your big problem. After
returning from my trip to Now Or
leans I wrote an editorial along tho
line of work liebig done in the
South and I feel sure' that within
the next few years tho whole ma
chinery and method of marketing
cotton will ho entirely rovorsod. We
are entering upon a new era. This
has got to be done. I wondered
why it was that these people with
whom I had talked told mo that they
were not getting back out of the
price of their cotton, the price for
which they were selling their cot
ton, a fair profit above the cost of
production. At first this puzzled
me. I bogan to study Into the mat
ter further and I found that tho trou
ble was that tho cost which their
cotton took from the producer and
tho consumor was not a perfectly
straigh line. There were obstacles
in tho way. There was a long line
of unnecessary middle men cnusing
great losses to both tho producer and
tho consumer. To me this came ns
something fresh and now and lt ap
peared to me that the whole trouble
was that the farmer sold his cotton
immediately after gathering it in
order to got returns and that he did
not sell lt gradually throughout the
year as lt was needed, but disposed
of it at once. This was the great
trouble. Next, in which way could
that troublo bo removed. Farmers
would have to ho able to carry that
cotton in some way and get financial
returns in such a manner that be
did nut have to sacrifico lt. The an
swer of course was the warehouse.
To put bis cotton in the warehouse
seemed to him to be a perfectly
simple matter, but where was his
warehouse to como from, how was
he to secure that? This seemed to
be at first a rather difficult proposi
tion, but I concluded that if tho farm
ers joined together and worked in
co-operation. It could he done and I
. wondered why this bad not. been
done long ago. What the farmer
needed was organizing, and this is
the answer.
1 have studied for tho last. 15
years the organization of tho differ
ent fruit growers of California and
have seen how they have settled the
matter. Now gel down to funda
mentals: Once Hie cotton is ware
housed you lia ve gotten rid of your
greatest trou hies and a warehouse
receipt represents merchandise in
gilt, edge bankable security. Tho
banks will Iond money on warehouse
receipts which represent actual
tangible properly, A warehouse full
of cotton is certainly something Just
as tangible as any form of paper re
presenting merchandise and i could
not understand why ibis had not
boon dono before I bavo soon this
plan worked out in California and
these Pacific States have been made
very prosperous and tho key to tho
wholo question has been accom
plished by organization. They havo
an organization there for every kind
of product which they grow. They
first began With tho citrus growers
and luivo gone on down the lino.
These organizations havo been vory
Successful without injuring tho con
sumer, they have n selling organiza
tion, a warehouse organization, and
O:IP for distributing direct to the Job
bers. They will not soil any of their
products to anyone but a wholesale
Jobber und will not soil in any
larger quantity than they feel he can
legitimately distributo, they will not
aeil enough so that be can use this
for speculation. If he wants more
he must prove that his business has
Increased. There was a time live or
six years .igo when tho growers of
raisins sold their ero;) even boforo
it w.'S r. .. >d and for two or threo
conts .i pound and sometimes as low
as a cent and a half. This was be
fore tho growers began to count tho
cost of production and now
they have turned around and have
organised and lite price has gone up
to nine and ten cents and sometimes
as high as I ti cents a pound. The
old method was absolutely wrong,
economically wrong and unsound
fro .1 a business standpoint. Tho
be ut ifni part of this plan is that
lt h s not increased the cost to the
con.niiner. This plan has been fol
lowed out with prunes, apples, apri
cots and all other lines of fruit.
Now why can't this same plan ho fol
lowed by the Southern cotton pro
ducer?
Vague Idea of Cost.
Another thing I discovered in
studying tho cotton situation in tho
South is that no ono seemed to have
a very ilollnlto idea of the actual
cost of production. 1 wanted a lot
of information on that point. lt
struck mo as being very peculiar
that in figuring your costs you did
not odd in the cost of labor for what
It should have boen. It was s ; ra ugo
to me that tho small grower should
work his wife and children and him
self six days a week without inti king
an allowance for this labor. That
struck me as being fundamentally
wrong, it brought mo face tc face
with a new feature and this was (hat
these people had to work so hard
that the children could not go to
school. This struck me with a sharp
snap. I happen to be very much in
terested in educational work and 1
am chairman of the school board of
my district in Brooklyn In whir': i
have under my supervision, over
2,000 school children in addition to
a high school of -1,000. In New Vork
jour compulsory education laws aro
(enforced down to the last line.
When I came down here and dis
covered this educational system I
? realized that it was a terrible men
ace to the United States. The whole
United States is vitally Interested in
the education of the South. They
may not realize lt, but it is of in
terest to them as the welfare of the
entire country depends upon this
feature. We can never . have one
I section of the country suffer In this
manner without tho whole country
feeling the effects of the same. I
realize that the price of cotton must
Include a living wage for those who
raise It and that this living wage
must bo sufficient to enable the peo
plo to live decently and send their
i 1 dren t ? Behool, If it. is noces
rs to itdtj Ute, pelling pr.ee of i
cotton in order1 lo bring this nbouT!
thou it ls Owly right that that step
[should bu taken, ? "'.ir smaller
I tax upon the people of the United
states to pay an extra cent or two for
cotton in order to educate the chil
dren of the South than lt is to ap
propriate large sums for tho curing
of Ills that follow the lack of educa
tion, therefore, the question of a
fair price for cotton to the producer
of the South is one that vitally con
cerns the entire United States. An
other feature tn tho study of this
situation which impressed nie on my
visit, drought the South was the mat
ter of the tremendous resources of
tho South. What a wonderful coun
try you have lying dormant hore. If
tho young men of tho South will
appreciate what they have here and
set tho South to work, this section
of the country will be tremendously
prosperous.
I have been impressed with the
fact that the South seems to raise
only cotton and that they take the
money that doy get for that cotton
and send to Chicago to buy hogs. I
could not understand why this
should he done, I could not see why
the people of the South could not
divide their farms and raise enough
food and feed crops to keep them
selves. 1 understand from a person
al investigation that almost any
known crop can be raised in tho
South. You must, have very wonder
ful soil and I could not see why
you would continue hy the planting
of cotton to take from Hie soil much
of its fertility. The solution of this
seems to me to be that you should
rotate crops and plant something
that would put the fertility back in
the soil. This seems to mo to he
logical and reasonable. I am going
to look further into this feature of
the situation.
