Well, we hope that the New Deal is not going to he a missdeal so far as the South ; 8 concerned. A Gloomy Outlook. solar plexus blow was delivered to the hope.' of the cotton farmers of the South Tuesday when the U. S. de partment of agriculture estimated this yeai’g cotton crop at 12,314,000 bales, in spite of the fact that about 3,000,000 bales of growing cotton are now in process of destruction. Hope' of 12 cents cotton—the gbal aimed at by Pre'ident Roosevelt—went a-glim- mering, and with the prices of every thing else advancing the farmers of the S-uth are faced with the gloomy prospect of being in a really worse position than they were a year ago when cotton prices were around six cents, with other things in proportion. How can hu.-ines 9 people increase wages, shorten hours and employ more people when the customers to whom they had expected to sell their goods lack the purchasing power that the farm act of the New Deal aimed to establish ?
