4 days.
"In 1870 he was united in marriage

I Thirty-two" grandchildren and three

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.
