What is worse, this cotton tinds its way to our own shores and our own looms. There is no denying that cotton is our great staple product for export. The world is demanding bet ter handling of all the products of labor. We must meet t hose demands not only in the harvesting of our cot ton hut in its growing and packing and wrapping.
