2,100,000 Workers Needed for
One Hundred Days to Handle
Crop of 14,000,000 Bales,
World Cotton Conference To Be
. .
Held in New Orleans in Octo
\ . .
‘ber Will Tackle Problems '~
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 20.—Unless
the army of cotton pickers in the
American cotton belt can yearly add
to its. number an average qf ninety
thousand recruits, spinners and man
ufacturers of cotton may some day
face a serious crisis, and it will be
no easy matter to add such a number
to the cotton picking forces of this
country., When it is recalled that the
American picking season lasts only
from ninety to one hundred days and
that the average daily work of a
prown up picker—man or woman—
§; thirty-three pounds of lint cotton,
’: will be seen that it requires thc
tontinvous labor for one hundred
flays of 2,100,000 workers to pick a
14,000,000-bale crop. This is one of
the prcblems which will have consid
eration at the world cotton confer
ence to be held at New Orleans in
October,
Not a few students of the raw cot
ton situation believe that the avail
able supply of cotton pickers will not
keep up with tlie growing needs ot
the world's spindles, because on-the
one hand the cotton factories and
other industries of the South have
attracted large numbers of laborers
fromn the cotton plantations, while on
the other hand European immigrants
kave usually goue Lo other parts of
the country, avoiding the cotton belt
almost altogether. Nor is the outlook
brighter when viewed from another
angle—that of distribution of popu
lation.
Seventy years ago the Southern
States had nearly 40 per cent of our
total population. In 1910 they had
only 22 per cent, while that great cot
ton growing section, the South At
lantic States, had upward of 20 per
cent of the total population in 1850,
and oniy a little more than 13 per
cent in 1910. Can this wonderful in-
Custrial age discover, invent or per
fect a picking mechanism with a
power of seclection more human than
las yet been foreshadowed On a
practical answer to this may depend
America’'s continued supremacy as a
producer of cotton, or perhaps the
well-being of 'the entiré industry over
a long period of years. It is, there
fore, natura! that this phase of the
cotton industry is to be given serious
consideraticn at the conference to be
held at New Orleans. Those partici
yating in the confcrence can not help
but regard with foreboding the pro
viding of an ample future supply of
raw cotton of the right quality. Many
of them frankly fear a cotton famine
in the not distant future.
Indeed, it was this very present
threat of a possible cotton famine
that yea:s ago impel!led the British
government 1o the spending of mil
lions of dollars on railroad construc
tion in the heart of Africa, The same
urge has drawn further millions out
of the savings of the factory opera
tors in Lancashire for investment in
new cotton growing undertakings un
der the auspices of the British Cot
ton Growing Association in those
parts of the world where cotton
growing can be successfully carried
on. Before the world war the same
impulse sent funds from France,
Italy, Spain, Portugal and Belgium to
the development of cotton cultivation
in such of their colonies as possessed
eoil and climate and labor available
for the purpose.

Countess Korzybski Restores
Vogue With Collection of Her
Work Portraying Celebrities.
NEWPORT, R. I, Aug. 30,~Por
traits have come into their own again
in society. Throngs attended the ex
hibition of ivory miniatures in the
home of Maj. and Mrs. Perry Bel
mont, Belcourt, of the villa colony.
The display was the work of Countess
Edgerly Korzybzski. As most of the
portraits were done within the last
few months, they expressed the moods
and modes of the post-war period.
Color has full play, not only in the
costumes Of the sitters, but in the
backgrounds and all the accessories.
The so-called amber portrait of Mrs.
Edward Mclean of Washington is a
striking example of the returning
taste for warm and alluring tones. It
is painted on a ground which has the
glow of the yellow amber, and is al-

to the sheen of the smooth ivory
panel,
The charming portrait of Mrs, John
Fell of Philadelphia stands forth
from a background which suggests a
light green of the aquamarine.
Another indicatign that the gloom
of the last few years has passed is
seon in the imaginative and often
fanciful poses of some of the sitters.
WASHINGTON BEAUTY,
Mrs. Colville Barclay, ona of the
reigning beauties of Washington so
ciety, appears in a delightful .phan
tasy entitled “The Breath of Spring.”
She kneels with head raised, as though
to drink in the warm and invigorat
ing airs which come when winter has
thrown its mantle aside and all things
are made new. She is also seen in
another symbolic pose called “Star
Dust.” ’
Mrs. John Sanford of Amsterdam,
N. Y., a friend of Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt, and one of the most beautiful
women lin Newport this season, is re
vealed In a recllnlnl attitude looking
dreamy eyed toward the distant sea.
Among the other portraits in this
manner are those of Misg Shella Bur
den, as “The Four Seasons;" Miss
Hope Islin, as “Wind, Raln, Sun
shine and Shadow,” iln four poses;
Miss Julu)hlne Osborne, as “Egyptian
Night;" Mrs. George Winthrop Bands,
as “Tanagra,” and Mrs, Frances Car
olan, as “The Golden West."”
Miss Helen Borap, whose hair is’a
glorious auburn, is truly Aurora,
Her likeness is well named “Dawn.”
The lively contrast between her flow
ing tresses and the dark blue back
ground gives this work a jewel-like
charm,
As the artist spent last winter in
Washington there are many portraits
of prominent figures in official and
diplomatic cireles in the eollection,
An interesting likeness Indeed |is
that of Lady Reading, the wife of
Lord Reading, which . was painted
while he was acting as ambassador to
the United States from Gredt Britain,
1t was completed only a few days be
fore she left for Enui‘nc.
In the Washington gronp are the
phesentments of Mrs. John Hays
Hammond, Miss Natalle Hammond,
Mme. Zaldevar, wife of the former
ministor from Salvador; Brockenridge
Tong, third assistant secretary of
glate; Mrs. Long and thelr young
daughter, Mliss Joseph Leiter; Mry,
