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 ?
