?* A Outlook for Cotton'' I News and Courier. t f For the first time in nearly a year i | the outlook for cottton has begun to' f show signs cf definite and perman- 5 cnt improvement. The slump in cot-'? ton began at the end of June. 1920. !* It proceeded steadily and progress- t ively until by the time last year's: crop was coining on the murket it had | reached for this section disastrous proportions. The cotton growers were wholly unprepared for what happen-'t ed. It had cost them heav ily to make |a the crop and when they finally real-jr ized the situation they were helpless: r in the fatfe of it as were the banks ic and business houses which were be- * hind them. 11 The relief which is now in sight cannot repair the losses which the South has suffered iu the past eleven months. All that can now be done is to put the industry as a whole once more upon its feet. Two things make prospect that this is going to be done a cheerful one. One is the (act that beyond all question the cotton acreage has been cut substantially and the likelihood is that the cotton yield will be cut even more substantially. Nothing could have been done to reestablish a fair price for cotton if a bumper crop had been1 produced this year. A reduced crop having been assured, we now have in the second place the definite promise of President Harding and Secretary Hoover that the Administration at Washington is prepared to lend such assistance as may be in its power toward improving conditions. Former Senator John L. McLaurin, of South Carolina, to whom Mr. Hoover's statement was addressed, believes that it should have the effect of putting up the price of cotton immediately. Surely it should put fresh heart in the cotton growers and business men of the South. President Harding has confined himself to a general pledge of interest in and con-: corn for the welfare of the cotton, growers and the business interests allied with them. Mr. Hoover makes specific recommendations which in- ' elude recommendations for more lib era! credits in the Southern States on niore liberal terms; organized export credit machinery to assist in marketing American cotton in Europe; and an improved warehouse system the certificates of which would become the basis of mobile credit and would pass as actual delivery of the cotton, thus implying "Dot only guaranteed wniehouse intergrity, but a complete determination of grade, quality and quantity." Th-ese measures are definite and practical and as they are put into operation the benefits flowing from them should become increasingly apparent. The way is opening for thie agricultural interests of the South to get back on a profitable basis. Washington cannot, put us on such a basis but Washington can help and President Harding and Mr. Hoover have shown their reudiness to lend such help as lies in their power. It is for the South to make use of the remedies which are thus rondcred available. We have passed through a grueling experience and it is not easy to bring about a m revival of the spirit of effort and enterprise which is urgently required but such a revival must be had. There is tremendous encouragement in the developments which have taken place this week. They are significant of a changing attitude toward the South and the cotton 'ndustry on the part of the country as a whole. Until now we have had scant sympathy from the public and the business interests of other sections. They are i seeing at last, and the stand taken by j President Harding and Mr. Hoover : will Impress upon them that thej prosperity of the South cannot be1 destroyed without grave injury to the j whole nation. o THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY WEEKLY j What is to be the future of the country weekly? This rests with the community and with the publisher. If the community recognizes the value and possibilities of the country weekly and is willing to pay what it is worth, and if the publisher realizes his responsibilities to his com munny. men its tuture is bright, it I vrill have an important part in build-1 ing up a satisfying and wholesome rural life. First of ail, the country weekly of the future will be recognized as a community institution. This means it will be prosperous. The community will realize that it is unwise for the community to hav? a newspaper which is not prosperous. The country newspaper of the future will not be sold ag a newspaper, but as a community service. Just as the telephone is service. No one thinks a telephone rental of from $12 to $30 a year is high, yet in the service it renders the paper is quite comparable to the 'phone; and the telephone receipts can't be used to put on the pantry shelves the way the old newspaper con. A country newspaper is worth more than the $2.00 or $2.59 usually charged. The publisher of course will be a recognized community leader. He will have emancipated himself from the thraldom of detail. He will have capable girls who can do this sort of work better than he can do it himself. He will never find that he is unable to attend the meeting of the committees in charge of the community house, of which he is chairman, because he has to fix a balky linotype. It goes without saying that he will have a neat, well organized, and systematized front office. The people of the community will know, also, that they have a part in making it a good paper. As one country editor put It, the country weekly la "not the sole product of Its editor. It is the combined product of its friends, readers, and advertisers." No country publisher THE :ould ever afford to hire enough re?orters to rover his tefrritory a3 intensively as it should be covered. \nd it is well he cannot. It is better or the community to feel its res onsibility with the editor in making i representative paper.?M. V. Atvood, College of Agriculture, Corlell University, Ithlca, N. Y. o Cnrrl of Tluuiks. I take this method of thanking he many friends who were so kind r.d thoughtful during my recent beeavement. and trust that God's icbest blessings may be the reward >f each and everyone of them.
