?* 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,
