ed from the chapel of L. 11. Burg

The Cotton Situation
It. is essimate I t2at the total cot
ton crop made this year is around
seven million bales. The average
amount needed for consumption is
around twelve million bales. The
number of bales carried over from
last year is around three millieu bales
That gives us on hand now from the
reports around tweutv million bales.
We have for the normal consumption
twelve million bales and an excess of
eight million bales lor next. vear. If
we do not make but around four mil
lion bales next year we will have the
normal amount of twelve million
bales for consumption. But if we
make an average of twelve million
bales we will still have an excess of
eight million bales for another year
Now we have a bad situation to
confront. We need a remedy, now.
There is no need to talk of diversifi
cation, We can talk diversification
until our tongues wabble and that '
will not help the situation because we
cannot diversify. We can plant oth
er things besides cotton but we can- •
not get any money from diversifica
tion now.
