Interests of the nation, and would im- j mediately Jiavo a beneficial effect upon the entire commercial life of the nation, still Secretary Houston, - who has entire charge under the law, of reestablishing same, will not reestablish the war finance corporation, and therefore, the only relief along this lino possible can come through the earnest effort of the united agricultural and commercial life of the nation, in the formation of export corporations. x The export corporation, being organized In the South, was in- ] dor'sed in the strongest terms and it was earnestly urged that the . capi- 1 tal of this corporation should be increased to 5100,000,000 ns speedily us possible. "I called this agricultural conference In Washington recognizing that If ..rtlt?f ... 1 -1 l ' -? ? - " ii iciivi wuiu uu nuu unu u. luiier un- ; dcrstanding brought about, this was tho best course to pursue. I am convinced that it will rcsuit in bringing wonderful benefits. A permanent organization of a national agricultural congress will follow. National associations of marketing associations will follow. I have exhausted every effort in my power to secure access to tho markets of the world for our agricultural products. I am convinced that lhe? only possible relief to the cotton' farmer of the South and the wheat farmer of the West, the cattle and. hog raisers of the Middle West, the dairymen of tho North and East, in fact every line of agriculture and commerce, nationwide, is the formation *of exports corporations. These ex port, corpoations will form a great organization, through which, cooperative marketing can perfect direct sn'fes abroad. "I beg* that the people of the South gtfje careful consideration to the present -existing conditions. " a ; Alports Shut Off. - . ^Our exports" have been throttled, tjer^rut Europe hpd a vast consuming eofintry iVbroSul are- unable to secure agricultural products, imports are showing a Jremcnddus increase; cheap pVoducts from the "Orient and other sefctjon^ where labor can lie secured frotn 25 to 50 cents per'week are pouring into America A worldwide campaign has been -conducted against the high cost of living; nil of this has resulted in absolutely destroying the law of sftpply and .demand and it can not bo restored until the channels are opened and restored.' The channels Iof tyadq^vviil not be opened except I thrc/ugftvour own efforts. "sfho. solution reached- by many seems to .be that tho only way to re dycc the high cost of living is to per-, niit these conditions to continue. This*)' however, would' eventually bring a detfOjL,. blow to agriculture and in^HfoJ?-Th*e.*iiigh'cost of living. "From our present cotton crop more cotton will rbmaln ungathered In the -fields than from any crop^ wlthijn the .last 50 years. We hav? passed through live consecutive short crops and this will he the sixth, the shortest-Qf the six. If the markets of the world would op6n the matter of sufficient supply of cotton would' be at grave qoncevn to the manufacturing industry, and there would be an active demand at apd above tho minimum price rocotumcnded by the American Cottor. association. Hcfwever, we are without a market-and it is for this reason that the various lines of agriculture unanimously decided to use every effort possible to put into operation the necessary means for ! /reaching markets and i^ they fail in this there will be the greatest reduction of acreage and production naj tionwide that has over been recorded.
