SURPLUS 0OTTOld S atlig Bullish Conditions Revealed by Repott of the Association i I 01 e'* lunibij, M1arch 21.-4.Skottowe a htamdaker president of the Ameri- h otton Association, said today " t the association had asked Con- I g as to order a recount of the sur- b Sphus cotton in the country to see how iquch of it is spinnable, and that a a resolution ot this end would be intro- i duced at once by Senator Smith. Mr. Wannamaker also made ptblic e the first report of the American Cot- P ton Association for 1920 and declared that it revealed startlingly bullish conditions. A canvass of the belt, J said, showed that preparations for the 1920 crop are at least five weeks late; that labor is' extremely short; i that the mild winter with the late v start on the new crop spells certainty a of serious insect damage on account a of the rapid spread of the boll wee- d Vil and that the pink worm had ap- " peared in two parishes in Louisiana c and in some sections of Texas. He " declared that the world is facing an enormous shortage, a The statement issued by Mr. Wan- b namaker follows: n "The census bureau, by special re- " quest of the American Cotton Asso -ciation, in their final ginning rel port issued Saturday, separated snaps and bollies. The report convinces us that the world is faced with a de mand that will exceed the supply be fore the 1920 crop can possibly be come available. "The total ginning figures of 11, 958,117 includes 580,000 bales of snaps and bollies, which must be deducted leaving a balance of only 10,678,117 bales. Each season there is a discrep ancy between the supply and distri bution figures of cotton, amounting in the average to about 200,000 bales, as shown by the census department in its regular bulletins. We find that the average weight per bale ginned is the lowest in the last twenty-five years and this will certainly result in a material reduction. "This crop carries the lowest pro portion of low grade cotton of any crop in the last twenty-five years Congressional action has been re quested to have a recount made of the so-called surplus to ascertain the actual amount of spinnable cotton. Senator Smith will introduce a reso lution to this end at once. ~ T is indeed~ a hap 'that the Bon Marcl ~iitial bow to the sho Touth Carolina in ervi\ce during the "a for the Autom< M 'erchants' Trade S2 to 27. .\Iud we use the wor'd "sc est s'ense, covering equip as well as mr'chanldise.1 ' JIh store is a visible mani -e'ivedl ini the miinds of exc1 - hile the store is stricti' tutioni, it is happily affii S Marchie stores iin other e Sit, seenreQs ani ad~vanhtage i / to be0 passe5d onl to tihe shc hiunhia and the sur'roundl No wvith t hese miany advar Sstage set and ready for Sweeks in Columbia's hista vite you to Columbia's n { e0very comifort, conlvenien<( icc has b)een provided fo: per's durlling the great wet Columbia's Automotive Trade Week, Mai Corner Main and Taylor E ;ht the abOolete' -ortiinW that tI t alle4 *urplus cotton dontains a r4e amount of bollies, snaps and ispinnable cotton which will enor ously reduce the' apparent carry. rer from previous years, so that V Iding the spinnable cotton from the at crop to tho apparofit carry-over, i e find the absolute certainty of an creasing needs t ntil the 1920 crop comes available.T "Preparations for the 1920 crop are least five weeks late. Labor is ex emely short and there is no surplus om which to draw. Under these mnditions it will be absolkstily im assible to cultivate as large an area last season and the matter of har- I "g, requiring farm labor, will k serious.
