In fact, this cotton crop hag been so important that the south has practically given its entire attention to cotton and thus become a ‘one crop’ country. The boll-weevil is now destroying a large percentage of this cotton crop, 8o that in many sections only one bale of cot- ton is gathered where two were orig- inally produced. Of course, great ef- (forts are being made to control the | boll-weevil, and science will ultimately | find a solution to thia problem. In the meantime, howeéver, there are several factors to be considered. “I"irst, our supply of cotton will he greatly reduced untll this weevil is controlled, The amount produced for the next few years may not be more than half of the requirements of for- mer years. This means that high| prices may be expected hoth for raw cotton and for all manufactured cot- ton goods for some time to come. “Secondly, the south, which has heen a ‘one crop' country, will be means that during the next few years the south whl offér many very attrac- {ive opportunities for the investor, Just at present the south is hard hit by the holl-weevil; but this very fact is bringing it to a realization of its needs and opportunities.

It is also suc- cessfully ridding ftself of the ‘tick’ which 'is so detrimental to rafsing good cattle. Herds of fine stock are rapidly increasing and the south, which has an ideal climate for all-| year stock grazing, should soon be one of the most important stock ralsing| sections of the country., This means that the middle west will have a ser- ious competitor in corn and stock raising. “The third factor to consider is that | the south will steadily increase its manufacture of cotton into -finished goods. Already it is shipping large quantities of these manufactured cot- ton goods into the northern state These southern mills can produc These southern mills can produce very | economically and are at the source of | the raw materials. This means that the | cotton mills of the eastérn states will have serious competition. Owing to| the present immigration restrictions, | these northern mills will soon be, greatly handicapped as to labor sup- ply which fact should also aid the| south. “A fourth factor s that the south- érn farmers are employing less labor on their farms than under previous conditions, many of them reducing labor one-half.
