FARMER FACES LARGER 8UPPLY OF WORLD COTTON The American cotton farmer In planning l?iw next year's operation* In now faced with a smaller supply of American cotton but a largerv worhl supply of all cotton, due to Increased foreign production in 1936 1937, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics says In its annual outlook report. Pointing out that conditions In the United States are conducive to a larger cotton acreage in 1937, the hu-' reau said that an increase in production in an amount substantially great or than the reduction in tjtils year's world carry-over of American cotton might be burdensome. The bureau also pointed out that while increased exports would help to strengthen the competitive position of American cotton in / world markets, the advisability of increasing exports depend* on its bearing on producer income ^jver a period of yours. The bureau, summarizing the cotton outlook, said: . "With a further reduction in world curry-over of American cotton in 1937, us now appears probable, the 1937 United States crop could be increased somewhat without giving a world supply of American cotton for the season 1937-1938 larger than the comparatively small supply of this cotton for the present season. An increase in the 1937 crop by a quantity substantially greater than the reduction in the carry-over from August 1, 1936 to August 1, 1937, would tend to reduce prices, unless offset by an increase in demand for American cotton or by a rise In the general price level. "The effect which such a reduction In cotton prices would have on the income to producers would tend to be offset by the increased volume of American cotton. Although an increase in the supply of American cotton for export would tend to strengthen the competitive position of American cotton in world markets, the advisability of increased production demands upon its effects on the income of producers not only in the next year or two but over a period of years." The bureau reported that "the world supply of all coton for the 1936-1937 season is now (late October) expect ed to be considerably larger than in either of the two previous seasons and 15 per cent, above the average for the ten years 1923-1924 to 19321933. The total world carry-over at the beginning of the current season was 1,600,000 bales less than a year earlier but this decline is expected to be more than offset by an increase in world production. "The world supply of American cotton in 1936-1937, however, Is expected to be about 1.000.000 bales less than in the previous season, the lowest in twelve years and 9 per cent, less than the ten-year average. The world carry-over of American cotton at the beginning of the season was approximately 2,000.000 bales Icbs than a year earlier and the smallest in six years, but was 17 per cent, larger than the ten-year average. "With the carry-over of foreign cotton materially above the average for the ten years ended 1932-1933 and the prospective production the largest in history, the supply of foreign cotton In 1936-1937 is expected to reach a new peak and exceed the average by 11 per cent. The increase in the supply of foreign cotton in comparison with the average is largely the result of the marked increase in Russian. Brazilian, and Chinese growths, riie increase over 1935-1936 is largeb due io im increase in Chinese. Russian and Indian. Total foreign production this season is expected to reach 17.5u0.000 bales, an int rease of l,60o.000 hales over the record crop of the pre\ious season and 50 per cent, above the t< n year average. Such a crop would exceed the 1936-1937 United States production hy 5,9f)o.nno bales or 51 per rent . whereas in the ten > ars ended V.)">2 19".3 the domestic .r.-p ex reeded tll.lt o| foreign eolllltli.v l,v 3.2bales.

Di-cussing prices, the bureau sj.ld that "changes In supplies of f. ivjgn cotton affect materially the prh e of Am. ric an . eti.m. If the supply of foreign cornm should continue increase, relative to American cotton, it would tuwonie increasingly influential in determining the world prim of all cottons Moreover, the increasing adaptability of manufacturing processes to a wider range of staple lengths and the increasing proportion of foreign cotton which is similar In quality to American are tending to increase the" direct competition gf foreign cotton with American in world markets An Improvement In the quality of cotton produced in many A i localities in the I'nited States would tend to strengthen the competitive po- j sition of American cotton in world t markets. ' * Regarding cottonseed, the bureau said that "the supply attention, especially if accompanied by a further < increase in demand, if favorable to , maintaining prices of cottonseed and cottonseed products during the current season at levels higher than the comparatively high prices of the previous season." I \ NO TROUBLE ABOUT LACK OF NEGROE8 ON JURIE8 LIKELY Trouble over the selection of Juilew Irr North ("arolltm haw caused a number of people to wonder If the warn? situation would likely arise In South Carolina. The concenaua of local attorney* is that there will be no Much Rouble In thia Htate ut lea?t for Home time to come. The Htate supreme court of this state has held that the method of selecting Juries In South Carolinu does not dUcrtminate against aegroei. The Ktatutes provide that all Jurymen be qualified electors and the qualifications for an elector are that he be a citizen of the stute for the required length of time, be of good moral character and sound Judgment, has paid his poll tax six months prior to election for which ho qualifies. It also provides that he must be able to read and write but In case he cannot do so he may qualify by showing that he has paid taxes on $300 or more worth of property. As a result of those qualifications there are very few colored qualified ^lectors in this state. It is argued however, that the "fe w who are? qualified electors, may have to have their names placed In tho Jury box but even this is not certain as only one third of the qualified electors must have their names in the jury box. ? The law governing selection of jurymen is as follows: "The said county auditor, county treasurer and the clerk of court of common picas of each county shall, in the month of December of each year, prepare a list of such qualified electors, under the provisions of the constitution, between the uges of twenty-one and sixty-five years, of good moral character of their respective counties, as they may deem otherwise qualified to serve as jurors, being persons of sound Judgment and free from legal exemptions, which list shull include not less than one from every three such qualified electors under the provisions of the constitution and of good moral character, to be selected without regard to whether such person lives within five miles from the court house." The supreme court has held that there is nothing In this section of the statutes that is discriminatory. The statue reads as follows on this point. "There is nothing in this section which discriminates against individuals on account of race or color or previous condition, or which subjects such persons to any other or different treatment than other electors who may be qualified to serve as jurors. Competent colored men are equally eligible with others for service under this section." I ho qualification for an elector are as follows under the statues of this state. "Every citizen of this state and the United States twenty-one years of age and upwards, not laboring under any disabilities named in the constitution of 1895 of this state, who shall have been a resident of this state for two years, in the county one year, In the polling precinct In which the elector offers to vote four months before any election, and shall have paid six months before any election any poll tax then due and payable, and who can both read and write any section of the said constitution submitted to said elector by the registration officers or officers, or can show that he or she owns and has paid all taxes collectable during the previous year on property in this state assessed at $300 or more and who shall apply for registration shall be registered.
