India, China, Africa, Central and South America, Mexico, the Phil ippines, the ; West Indies, and Pa cific islands, are purchasing our cot ton goods in far greater quantities than ever before, and Europe Is alio taking more. ' It Is predicted, that this increase will continue for years to come, especially in India, China and interior Africa, In which coun tries about half the population of the world lives. They are getting more and more In touch with civili sation and will demand and be able to pay tor more and more eottoa goods. - So the prospect is bright for the cotton growers and manufacturers. Not only does our rapidly Increas ing population demand more of these as well as woolen fabrics from year to year, but in far distant and very populous regions, the demand prom- ' teem to Increase far more rapidly.
