Unusual Conditions
Reflected in Report
Washington, D. C., January 81.—
Direct r Sam L. Roger.* has issued
the annul report on Cotton pro
ductions and Distribution for the
Season of 11)18-19, (census bulletin
No. 140). The bulletin contains data
concerning the acreage in and pro
duction of cotton in the United States;
the quantities, ginned to specified
dates; its import, export and consump
tion; the stocks held in mills,at corn-
presses, and in public storage; the im
ports and exports of cotton goods ;the
world's production and consumption
of cotton; the production crush and
stocks of cotton s t eed; and he pro
duction shipment, export, and stocks
of cottonseed products.
The ,unusual conditions of the time
are reflected rather pointedly by the
statistics shown in the report. The
crop of 1918 was he fourh success
ive “small” crop produced in this
country and throughout the world.
The world’s total for these four crops,
not including linters in the United
Sates, was 70,888,000 equivalent 500-
pound net weight dales, which com
pares with 87,855,000 proceeding four
years. Notwithstanding this reduced
production the “carry-over’’ at the end
of the season in this country was the
largest ever recorded. Two factor?
were mainly responsible for this con
dition,-(1) the actual quantity con
sumed in Europe was very much be
low normal, although there had never
been such a scarcity of cotton goods
since the period immediately follow
ing the Civil War, and (2)the trans
portation facilities for exporting cot
ton had not yet become normal. An
other factor entering into the situa
tion was the inability on the part of
Europe t«> purchase cotton freely be
cause of mi}-table conditions in some
of the countries and because of the
extraordinary high, rate of exchange.
the cessation of hostilities in Europe.
Of the- cotton consumed during the
year, 51.188 bales were Sea-Island,
1-5.08 Egyptian, 33,808 Chinese,9,128
Peruvian,and 7,098 other foreign.
In the quantity of cotton consumed,
Massachusetts led ail other states
with 1.824,815 bales, North Carolina
with 1,085,717 bales ,being second
.south Carolina with 7(34,794 bales

section in 1919 being 14,986,311 com

000 tons. Of this quantity, 4,478,508
tons were used in the manufacture of

When William Payne, the banker at
Bisonville, decreed that no farmer who did
not raise cows as well as wheat could borrow money
from him, the angry grain growers almost lynched
him. But they had to do as he demanded—and today
his county is an oasis in a blowaway desert, his de
positors and borrowers are prosperous farmers, his
bank is looked upon as the agricultural father of the
whole countryside. Such is The Power of Money
for Good. Herbert Quick, formerly a member of the
Farm Loan Board, tells the story in the February 7th
