1 HE BOLL WEEVIL A MENACE '
TO CIVILIZATION.
Cotton is in many respects the
most important single industry in the
world, when wo consider it from its
production as n raw material to its
manufacture and its wide ramifications
in world trade. It represents an
aggregate investment in lands, in
mills and cognate industries of $25.. (
000.000,000 or over. The South alone t
has about $1,000,000,000 invested in
cotton mills, knitting mills and kindred
interest*, and many billions in j
iis production.
in? aevciQDmciu ui tuv iuiumi *i?- 1
dustry during the first half of the *
last century was the greatest business
achieveioi nt during that period
in the world. Beginning with a pro- *
duction of a few bales in the early
years of that ? entury. cotton-growing
developed in the South to a point
where it laigely dominated the
finances and f>olitic3 of this country ^
ai.d of Europe.
During the Civil War the famine in
cotton endungercd the welfare of mil- n
lionr of people in England. The povtviy
in the Lancashire district during
that four-year period stands out at fi
one of the awful records in the life tl
cl" an industrial center. A few months
ugo one of the foremost cotton manufacturers
of England wrote to an li
American friend that the :nability of
England to secure its u>unl supply
of American cotton, in any one year
would cause greater distress in the *
Lancashire district than did the war.
f^^Kv-^lr.vliilions of people in Lancashire ure
- c
A' . wholly dependent on the manufacture ^
or cotton. Millions of people throughout
the world?hundreds of millions,
indeed?aro dependent for clotheupon
the production, from the South's
siaple, of the finished cloth. Millions
:f neonle in this country are Hirectlv
dependent upon the growing and
handling of cotton, while the financial J
interests of the nation would be shaken
to their loundatiou by the loss of
iht cotton t ade. The South could .
I!
weather the ttorm better than any f
other section, because the South could f
turn its farm iands into the produc- 51
t on of diversified agriculture, once *
moro regaining the prosperity which ^
never would have been lost if this sec- ^
tion had not by force of circumstances ?
ur wisely centerd its agriculture upon 1
the production of cotton.
This great industry, without which
the world could scarcely maintain its s
civilization - for without cotton
c'othes we would sink back into bar- a
fl
borism?is menaced by the boll-weevil.
This is not merely a menace tc
the South, for the South could stand I
the shock of its cotton crop being
destroyed, better than the world could
stand the loss of cotton goods. It is a
nmnace to the nation?a menace tc ^
civilization itself.
It is, therefore, incumbent upon ev- \
cry agency of this government and of i
all other civilized governments; upon '
chemical manufacturers, cotton man- '
(
ufacturers and financiers, to spend
money with the utmost freedom in en- t
souraging chemists and others to find
h remedy for the boll-weevil. Vari- *
ous remedies are being developed;
some of them are more or less sue- ,
ce&Hiul; but the task is very great i
The danger cf the destruction of the
cotton industry is so vast that until 1
the whole nation realizes the extent '
.
ai d importance of that industry and
the seriousness of the menace the I
tank will not be tackled on a scale
commensurate with the magnitude of 1
the problem to be solved.
The world faces a cotton faminp
civilization may be at stake by thr c
lo-'b of cotton. But we believe a rem
edy will be found. We believe that 1
this crop?in many respects the most ^
important sii.gle crop ever given by c
a beneficent Providence to humanity t
?will be saved from the destructive 1
power of the boll-weevil, but we b* *
lir.ve that the utmost energy of the
nation must be concentrated upon the
solving ef this great problem.?Manu ^
