Ktgg* on Scope of Work of War I .. tlb - Tc the I lllot -?: Th? s\ le; What*vir theories may oe advanced about the lihaiiM H of tin- South; how fl i t ilu< h Ihi South may bOOOfUt or sections of it has becOOeO, inde? pendent or cotton; however much bet? ter food producing formi can stand low prices of cotton than these larms that grow all cotton or fall to pro side the fo- .i . rope needed to food In tor und stork the Indisputable fact remains that the pi Ice of cotton de? termines the abilUy of our farmers to teach a latter plane of living, to be I bl< to do their share in the war ac? tivities '1 he price of cotton deler Inlhec the buetneee prosperity of all our people in the South and helps all the national life. 1 think a bare statement of tins, facts CO Hi dent No one will try to *fute them. Therefore it seems to tie that In the South at lOOOl the lOeatlon of a remunerative price for >ur great stsple crop Is a pertinent tjiMMtlou for discussion in the Stale Council of I ief? i.se. I am told that when at the htflt meeting of the state eonncll two mem? ber* l I that the outlook for cotton prices should be discussed ami 0 line of action suggested wherebv the price may be reinstated ami kept to profitable figures, that Dr. VV. M. Rlggs. president of I hnison Agricul? tural College, Oppoeed II ami took tin position that rotton prices fhould hav< no part in tbe discussion* of the coun? cil of defense, I am surprised that tbe head of a State institution, the attppoit of which come: directly from the poeketa of I hi farmers in the fdiape of the fertlUntf taxes, three fourth i of Which is i aed for cotton, should take such a pOOftlon. Not only do I hellev. that the finan? cial condition of the people of the State and llulr ability to lake liberty bond , w , i ? \ m:; ?? 1 t naps, give to tho Red Cross ami other ?Milses is properly subject for disc ussion in Ihe meetings of the coun -ils of defense, hut the spicial ways by which thcli final.? I ii st.Hiding is improved or In? jured should also be dieeneeed. Further. I t ike it that the head of our agricultural college should be especially interested in the markttina Side of farm life and of all men In tie Council of Defense he should he th hint to ohjrof to such a discussion. IT th* gfOud of the agricultural college supported dire- t|y t,y us farmers is Indifferent to our marketing prob lern*. it is nigh lime that the legis lature take (he nutttef up and b n pee la I act illo I t lh ? SOUigi to do thl Mind or woik. In Ulli ai'iele 1 . ha I not ntten,pt to suggest how thl Mhould he done. I want the people lo begin to think about it and only vote for members ol the legislature who will nee that proper direction Of given In the trustees and faculty of Clem son to take un this work. 1 want to say fuitber that council. of decline, federal reserve banks, war work commissions and Other Ogonclf that arc I" gdlfjg every energy to win the war must look at problems from the idamlp ant of the producers o; isw material as well as from tin standpoint of manufacturer and eon HUmers. While we are trying to fix a fair price to the consumer and a fair "spread" to the manufacturers we mu?t not lose sight of the me I who produce the raw material. It seems to me from what I see and pggd that, alas* too niton the r rower of the fend and clothing of lh? worl 1 are looked upon as a dem that is got to bl con ih red Tin \ have free air free* wood, fie,, water God's free got and sunlight What more do the want?
