VOLUME XXXVI. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE= 1, 1921. VNITED [EfFORT N[[D[D FOR COTION Cptton Interests Discuss Present Outlook GREAT SHORTAGE MAY OCCUR Cotton Grower.i and Government Of clais Wariil that the Country Fac es a Grent Shortage Unless Mean.' are Tnken to Hhiuabilitate the Cottoi 1idu:vuy. Ivanunaker Speaks. New York, May 30.-Ways and meaas of rchbtlitating the cotton in etdUftry and putting It on a preuar basIs, were disclssed oday at the op) ening of a national consuitation of American cotton growers, nanufac turer-s and affilated -inierents. Leading cotton growers and govern mental oflicials warned that the coun try faced the shortest cotton crop In the last 25 years, and that unless Im mediate steps were taken to create a market and restore the staple to a profita-ble 'basis, a greater -shortage Wotild result in the next few years. Figures presented by the various speakers showed that the reduction in cotton acreage this year ranged from .0 'to :5 per eest. due to the acreage reduction campaign of the National Cotton Association, the ravages of tlie 4toll weevil and unfavorable wceather conditions. The gevernment recognizes that the industry faces a critical situation. Presi(ent IlIarifing declared in a tele phone me.;sage to the confeirence and he assiur-ed the cotton grower's that the adm inistratlon ldesi red in every possible m-ay to cooperate with those necking to inprove conditions. Two thrce-year-old (a tughters of eottonmeuj re plifed to the I President'i mess:mge ;thnking him on behalf of tho north and the south. United cffort bhy government and bps ies is neeUsar' y if th cotton In (ustry is to regnin its foCt, declared J. S. Wannamiaker, of St. Matthews. S. C., presi(ent of the Ameiican Cot ton Association. Artificial inflation in valunes uitIIt be overicoie, he said, and the channels of colmmerce o)eIned and expor-ts of ra' cott on stimulated. lIe defended the acreage reduction cam pailun, declaring it would have been "'nothing short of sicidal to prodluce morlne than half a crop of cot ton in 1921." S inator, Joeph E. Ransdell, cf Louisiana, a ot ton planter, estimasuted that cot on producers 'had lost aplrox Ioately '2,000,()0,060 In 1920, due to advI'r Fe maraket ecad~(itions. Senator !. 1). Smith, of South Caro lina, said that w.Ith a group of sena tor; from the a zrlcultal states of the ronth and weat, he believed they had a sol tution of the ";tuation ill view. Ie e'xpin i-ed th'at it was proposenI I'to modify the federai reseri e act s0 that t'.e farmer would have sonme fixed and dlependlable financial. arrange mnents. lie added that it was not pro p'o.sed to makVe it miandlatory tuppn theo home banuks and the regional banks to acc(let the farmerst'' ,Paper at fixed disn count rates, and that thils Paper should be good as long as the thank's assets permitted. C:ottoni at no time, ho said, should sell ,beldw' 30 cents. The Amier~can cotton crop is the most wastefully handled- stale farm product in the 'world, Hiarvie Jordan, secretary of the association, declared. "Uneconomic losses due to waste and primitive practices in baling and 'handling the cotton crop," he said, "wip~e out the full annual value of a crop every ten years, according to figures prepared by the United States -bureau of markets. Those losses ag grogate ntearly $200,000,000 per an niim." Mr. Wannnamaker, In his address dc clared that until cotton was recog niz.ed as one of the nation's greatest assets, arnd until it brought a pruofit able price to the grower, every south erni industyy ,wvould be rotardled. "W produced in 1920 only 13,197, 77', bales of cotton," he assertedh. 'StIJI today we'are without markets, exent at a price of ap~proximately one-third the cost of productign, and then only in a limited way. The farmer' is be Ing smothered wita his cJvn 'produc tion, tusiners stagnation and lparaly sis, resulting from the dhestruction of the purchasing .power of the farmer, is costIng more every month than the BABY CONFERENCES * AT CLINTON Successful Conferences Held in Town nnd at Clinton Cotton Mills. Prizes Awarded. Tuesday and Wednesday of last week was really "Baby Week" in Clin ton if the.number of bables at the con forence is an index to such a conclu sion. The attendance at this place out stripped other places it the county !w a good margin. In all there were 173 libables at tlhe conference for examina tion. 31 of these were from the Thorn well oiphanage. o Those lin char-ge of the examinationI spoke in highest terms of the general care of the hables from the orphanage. They iwere .well nourlsheid and above the 'general average In every respect. liss Hagquist thinks that this condi tion of the bables of the on;:-hanage ; due In part to the close supervision and the work of the dietic'an at the orphanage. Another outstanding featwre of this conference was the Interest shown (by Ithe Mothers Club of Clinton, of which Mrs. Parks Adair is the president. This organizatioit, so says the director of the conference, was heartily behind every phase of the conference. The examining staff for the confer ence coilsisted of Doctors Peake, Walley, Davis, lenry, Hays, Austin, Shealy, Smith, McFadden and Johnson, of Clinton; Dr. Cornell, of Columha, Dr. Hughes, of Laurens, and Dr. illouston, of Greenville.

'Declaring that finanicing of cotton production was a national prolblemi, lie continued: "When a safe system of Issuing short term certificates of indebtedness or deobentuires against cotton, properly stored, -has .been ,Putt in operatIon, it will present a new national field for investment by the whlole peole, which will -be safe and as attractive to t'he Investor as government bonds." .Mr. Wannamaker urged expansion of American cotton mills. "h'very I)ound of AmerIcan cotton woven 'into the finIshed fabric in thIs counztry, multiplIes the, vauo of the raw staple for four to six tImes," lie said. "It is therefore an economic loss to ship so. large a proportion of the Amerlean cotton crop abroad in the raw form." 'The speaker declared that the cot ton area of this nation was extensive enough to supjply the world's needs, provided the pr'ice paid foir the staple jutlilleni its increasedi production by t'he growers. "Not only can the lpresent cotton area,'' lie said, '-be muliti plied many fold, but u~ndet' Intensiye and scien tiflc' culture, the yield of lint cotton per acre can be dlou'bledl and trebled."
