OPPORTUNITIES OF
THE UNITED STATES
BETTER THAN EVER
(By Elbert Hubbard.)
Now is our chance to benefit ourselves
by helping humanity. In all
the history of the United States, commercially,
we never had the opportunity
that we have today.
Fate has eliminated America's commercial
competitors. The world is
ours.
I predict that for the next two
years we will see a business boom in
the United States the equal of which
we have never before known. Everyone
will make money who works, and
all may partake of the prosperity.
In the past two weeks I have spoken
at Chautauquas in five different
states in the Mississippi valley. On
these occasions I have met a great
many farmers, stock raisers and
country merchants. I have also re
cently visited the cities of Chicago,
St. Louis, New York, Denver, St.
Paul and Minneapolis, meeting In
each place bankers, merchants, and
manufacturers.
My prediction of a business boom,
however, it founded on some thing
more than the general feeling which
I saw manifest.
My prophecy is founded on the following
facts: Sixty per cent of the
people in the United States live in the
country and in towns of five thoussand
inhabitants and under.
The trade in these towns and villages
is dependent upon the prosperity
of the farmers.
It is also a well admitted fact that
when the farmer is depressed and
ceases to buy implements and to build
that trade in the large cities suffers.
At the present time farmers everywhere
are hopeful, and even jubilant.
I talked to three thousand farmers
at Ames, Iowa, the seat of the state
agricultural school. In the audience
we had students, teachers, professors
and a good many prosperous farmers.
The sentiment of the audience was
that farmers were to get a bigger and
better price for their products for the
next year than they have in the past.
Wheat will be a dollar, or a dollar
ten, before Christmas; corn will be
eighty or eighty-five cents; oats will
be sixty. Farmers will be getting ten
e? i ...
?.cui>a iur nogs at tne railroad stations;
cattle in proportion.
Wages of all kinds are going to be
higher. Farmers in Iowa and Illinois
have been paying three and four dollars
a day to harvest hands. At
Ames I met a man who had just hired
a hundred students, husky country
boys from eighteen to twenty-two, at
four dollars a day and board, to work
on threshing machines and dig ditches
for tile.
High wages mean good business
for dealers in clothing .boots, shoes
and all sorts of living commodities.
The fact that we have bumper
crops in every line and that prices
are high means that the farmers are
going to build; also that they are going
to buy agricultural implements on
a scale that they never have before.
The only depression that exists in
1'America is in the big cities. The
tdwns, villages and country are hopeful.
The United States, Russia and Argentine
are the three great grain producing
centres. Russia's wheat crop
is below the normal, whereas ours is
above.
Europe is absolutely compelled to
look this way for food.
Argentine has good crops, which
means that her farmers will be in the
market for a vast quantity of goods
which heretofore have been purchased
largely in Germany, Austria and
France.
And South America will look this
way for agricultural implements, machinery
and commodities in a thousand
forms.
The trade from South America will
be shifted largely from Europe to the
United States. The prosperity of
South America will also be doubly
ours, for not only^ will we share in
me prosperity of South America, but
we will thrive through the fact that
practically all Europe has quit productive
work in order to destroy.
We are now harvesting our cotton
crop, which is worth approximately
seven hundred and fifty million dollars.
The factories of France, Germany
and Austria are closed, but manufacturing
in England will continue as
never before. It is not at all probable
that England will be invaded, and
Great Britain will see to it that a
pathway across the sea is kept clear,
and this will mean that a goodly
quantity of our cotton will be absorbed
in England.
Great Britain is the best foreign
customer of the United States. Great
Britain buys from us every ye?.?
good to the extent of five hundred
million dollars. We buy back from
Great Britain goods to the extent of
two hundred million dollars. This
means a balance in our favor of about
three hundred million dollars.
England does not produce enough
food to take care of her people, and
for the next year she will make bit'
demands on us for food products. But
we will purchase from the continental
countries less than we ever have in
the past, simply because these countries
will have little to sell.
Everything they produce will be
consumed or destroyed and this will
mean for us a bigger trade balance in
our favor than we have ever known.

FARMERS MEETING 1
IN EVERY COUNTY J
COOPERATION OF BUSINESS
MEN WANTED.
President Wade Stackhouse Tells of
Call to Farmers of South
Carolina. a
To the Editor of The State:
I noticed in your Monday's paper
you had a mistake in your headline
when you said the State meeting of
the Southern Cotton congress would i
be held in Columbia on October 1. It ^
should have been September 24. The
county metetings were called for Oc- ,
tober 1. I would thank you in your i
Monday's paper to mflke correction
and to publish the call for county
meetings which I inclose herewith (
and ask county papers to please copy, x
Wade Stackhouse,
President. 0
I hereby call a meeting of tne
Sduthern Cotton congress in each
county in South Carolina at the court
huse, 11 a. m.f October 1. I request
that these meetings be called in addition
to any others that may have been
held. I hope before that date each
county will have been organized. That
will be wearing badges, indicating
in each county hundreds of people
they have paid $1 to help boost the
price of cotton and that we have their
support in trying to hold one-third of
this cotton crop and for reducing the
1915 crop 50 per cent. We are going
to use your dollar to help us organize.
While we shall be glad to have you
contribute $1 to the organization, we
are not going to let that keep you
from our meetings or from receiving ?
all the benefits we can secure. If you .
work a one-horse farm or a 50-horse 0
farm; if you make one bale or 500 q
bales; rich or poor, white or black, ?
we need your influence. We stand for 1
the poor man as well as the rich, in (]
asking that our directors will take
that which we have?a cotton warehouse
receipt?and withhold collecting
his notes and account as long as
he possibly can, in order that we may
obtain cost or above for this cotton
crop. We wish the cooperation of
farmers, merchants, bankers, fertilizer
companies and all other persons
doing business in the South. We wish
every farmer to sign our pledge. We
request you to hold, if possible, onethird
of your crop for one year, unless
you can sooner sell it for 12 cents
per pound. We believe 5,000,000 bales
or one-third of this crop can not be
used by the mills of the world before
September 1, 1915. We believe two-1,
thirds the crop, or 10,000,000 bales,
can be sold at about 10 cents or above,
if you will slowly sell as the'millsneed
it. We can sell the 10,900,000
bales if properly marketed, for more
money than wo can the whole crop
and have 5,000,000 bales oW storage
next September. Will you/ do yoar
part, or do you expect your neightg
ro noia your mira as wen as msTragi
you^and your neighbor ^Tj??
Srave/man e is^ wh?lyou ran
to make a lew dollars out of his ma- jP ,
hood?
Suppose you and your neighbr 1
both hold the third of your crop whin I
both of you agree is necessary, wil I
you not pledge to cut your cotte 1
acreage 50 per cent, in order to gi* g)0
value to the surplus you hold, as wei Wj
as a fair value to the 1915 crop. L'
your neighbor did not plant but si:
acres to the horse, don't you * hink i I
would be fair to let him risk his fui I
acreage and let you that planted -'BG
acres to the mule cut 60 per cent !
When the canvass is completed, .*
that some one in your county is ho!<i-lQ|
ing one-third as much cotton lor ott
year as was made in 1913 accordittl j
to government bulletin 125. If the I
farmers have not pledged that much. I
ask the business men to put up the |^|
necessary balance. Refer to a similar
bulletin and see that total acreage to r 1
be planted in your county in 1915 is
only 50 per cent of the 1911 crop. f
Every cotton farmer, small or large, be
is playing a game of chance. The
stake amounts to hundreds of millions
of dollars. If we put cotton up
4 cents per pound, we will save the
South $300,000,000. Are you willing
to do your part? (tome to your coun- all
ty meting October 1 and be prepared
to instruct our legislature your wish

that they dare not tell. They know
