TOO MUCH TALK AND NOT ENOUGH ACTION j t , Columbia, March 19.?"It some- j1 times seems to me that Mark Twain's I, |] comment on the weather is applicable j to cotton?everybody talks about it, j but nothing is done," said Governor: Cooper in an interview on the cotton j situation, with especial reference to j , the necessity for acreage reduction.} ( "I am convinced that a drastic cut in J acreage is necessary for our prosper- j ( ity," he continued. "And this reduc- j, x - * - ? .? offnr* nf ' lion must, not dc h meic imuiwi v. j propaganda, but an actual curtail- j ment, and a very large one, of the j amount of cotton produced during the j year 1921. It will not suffice to talk I about it, something ihust be done. I know there are many who will not agree to this, but it seems to me that we are face to face with the powerful law of supply and demand, and that law is operating. That's just our trouble; it is operating, and the supply of cotton is greatly in excess of the present demand. "The world's consumption of cotton can be calculated with fair accuracy. Many such calculations, and unbiased ones, have been made. The only conclusion to be reached is that should < th*- farmers of the South pile up an- J other large cotton crop on tdp of the * ? ii ??i I cotton now on nana, ine result wuuiu i be another year of meagre prices for this, our most important, agricultural} product. There is no-reason to look for any sudden full revival of industry in Europe, hence the European demand can scarcely become sufficiently great to ojffset the effect of the tremendous supply of cotton now existing. "I know that many farmers are compelled to plant cotton. Some do not know much <ibout diversification. Unhappily, cotton is with us an inheritance, a tradition, a necessity and 1 all that. But notwithstanding the manner in which this crop is interwoven with our lives, we can effect a . * reduction in acreage so fmpressive j that buyers of cotton will forsee a retu/n to normalcy, and begin to ofI fer more attractive prices for the now I bedraggled King Cotton. "A merchant who has an unusually large supply of certain goods on hand, j and little demand for these goods, I would certainly not set about to pro cure more of the wares tnat aireauy clutter his shelves. The farmer's j situation is analogous to this. I McE 1 Aid I Kitchen Cabin are constructed McDougall. 1 ment to anyhandy compar cutlery and p with breadboa Refrigerato and Gen H.
