All across the broad belt that stret- A. ches from the plains of west Texas to the eastern seaboard, the miracle of something closely resembling prosper- ity has been wrought by the govern- ment cotton program.

But it's Paradise for Workers And for the workers the codes have a long time since this section has had|meant @ small slice of paradise. Most ® party at all. Here, as in the case of wheat, the government operation is practically e guarantee of prices, like that the Hoos ver administration tried with its dis- astrous Farm Board. But this difference is important; To eat the government ice cream and cake this time, the farmer has to cut his production. Ma Nature Steps In The hope is, of course, that by the time cotton land is cut to 25,000,000 acres (10,000,000 were lopped off this ‘year, cotton prices will rise enough, due to scarcity, so the price need no longer be held up at the taxpayers ex- pense. Now the joker in all this is, that despite the plowing under of 10,000,000 acres in 1933, the cotton farmer raised practically as much cotton as he did in 1932. That was Old Ma Nature again. The average yield per acre this year was 208.4 pounds as compared to a 10-year average of 167.4, Yet from Texas to Georgia, they tell you this: “If the ploughing up had not been done, there would have been such a terrific yield this yeer, and such a crushing surplus, that cotton would have fallen be- low 5 cents a pound, and the south would have been absolutely and utterly ruined!” As it is, the south ts the most nearly prosperous of any section of the coun- try. You meet the evidences every- where. Prosperity Is Found A salesman covering rural towns in northern Alabama told me stores had been buying which had almost empty shelves. At Auburn, Ala., 92 per cent of the crop production loans already have been paid back. A 15-year-old boy in Birmingham, just in from the fields, tells you, “I never seen so many new overalls and shirts in all my life!” And all this money comes back al- most immediately to the cities. At Ma- con, Ga., J. C. Penney, chairman of the board of the J. C. Penney stores, will tell you that increasing business rapidly is absorbing the added expen- ses made necessary by NRA. Southern Stores Lead His southern stores lead all his others in sales—that gives a hint of what is happening to the “cotton money.” Retail sales here led the country in a better than 15 per cent, vise over the holidays.

I could find no active opposi- tion here, even among bankers, to the Roosevelt money policies. It | {s clear that the average person has no idea what it is all about. The chairman of the board of one of the biggest banks in the south told me that he “had perfect confidence that Roosevelt. would not permit any- thing that would wreck the monetary system.” Atlanta had no banking problem, as all major banks opened promptly as soon as the moratorium permitted. “Collections are better. Country bank deposits have been increased, and the condition of the farming sec- tion of the stete is vastly improved,” Robert F. Maddox, chairman of the board of'the First National Bank, told me. Hope for Export Rise Maddox feels that an effort must be made to increase export of cotton, pointing out that America used to produce from 60 to 70 per cent of the world’s cotton, and now produces scarcely 50 per cent. Fiying into Atlanta via Birmingham, you get a good chance to see the steel center of the south once again bath- ed in a sulphurous haze, and the glow of coke ovens in the gathering dusk. Many of the government-backed rail orders have gone to the Tennes- see coal and iron mills at Ensley, and up.
