BY AMATEUR ECONOMIST Last year the world produced about twenty and one-half mib lion bales of cotton (600 pounds to the bale). Much of it wan wold for lens than 10 cents w pound This year Egypt and the Unit od Btates made a atrong effort to cut down the production conscious effort was well onded by poor care of the cot ton that was planted. This yom the world’s total production war only fifteen and @ half rilliion balen. The reduction in yield prae tically all took place in the Unit- 04 Btaten This reduced crop brought more money to the growers than 4ié the bumper crop of leet year, ‘Whe price this year han nearly reached the 20.cent mark. The cotton growers are com. bining and inten4 to continue to keep production at 2 point where they can sell their product at a good margin of orotit. They now realize that overproduction de feats its own end. Instead of a large crop making them richer, it makes them poorer. ‘Will the wheat growers fol low suit and cut down produo tion? «This emailer production will mean jens acreage. A small acreage and a poor crop might yield 20 little that we might half starve before the next crop. In cane of necessity we are willing to wear our shirts another year, but let's not take any chance on finding our flour barrel empty two or three months before har- vest some year. In the past we have each year exported a hundred million bush- els of wheat or more. This was & reserve supply that always as- sured us plenty for ourselves. If our exports are to disappear we must have some assurance that nome bad year our yield won't drop way below our needs. —_— faces. Pete's hand began to steal toward his bip.
