Morrison) The cotton crops of the five-year normal period immediately preceding the war averaged 14,713,000 bales. 'During this period consumption steadily outgrew production, as it had lone, in fact, during the ten previous years. It is practically certain that 1919 will end a five-year period in which the crops have averaged from 3,500,000 to 4,000,000 bales belo wwhat would have been the needs of the world had not the wva- lntervenedl. This indic'ates that it will take a series of at least five crops averaging aroundl 15,000,000 bales to restore such normal conditions as existed through out the world previous to the war.

W. 1 The normal increase in the populatioi of the world, the steadily increasinj use of cotton in other products beside that of clothing and the general tren< of consumption during the last quarte of a century indicates that normal coi ditions, once restored, must be main tained by an annual increase of fron a half to three-quarters of a millioi bales if the world's economic life i: to be kept on a sound basis. Where is this increase to come from That question not only vitally con cerns the consumer, but just as vitall: concerns the well-being of organize< society (luring the preiod of readjust ment through which every countr: must now passt The history of th< last hundred years points rather defi nitely to this country as being thi only source from which such an in crease can reasonably be expected The fact 'is, this is so evident thati 'are offering a nw 1 5x6 South Columbia.
