Kinir Cotton Is Sick
tMifii ,o.nT.in(T fn n
Century, faces the alternative of producing more cotton or
stopping to raise it. Either alternative seems to mean dis
aster for this third of the nation. More cotton would mean
a still lower price; stoDDine production means j diminished
income for the growers and all the cotton handlers. IS me
years ago the Hoover farm board peeged the price of cotton
at 18 cents, because it thoucht that price was too low; now
the price is nine cents after several years of control measures.
The bureau of acrricultural economics says that the 1937
crop of 18,700,000 bales was the largest on record, in spite
of reduction in acreage. There is now a surplus of about
eight million bales of Ameriran cotton. World takings of our
cotton Rave declined, our share falling since 1929 frombi
to 44 per cent. The world's consumption of American cotton
has decreased 2.500.000 bales although total consumption of
foreign cotton has increased seven million bales. Even now
with reduced acreage fertilizer will be used so the estimates
of production may be exceeded. I
Even if the crop total allotted is not exceeded, and the
price rises 25 per cent the income to growers will be less
than for the big cron of last vear. even counting; in the sub
sidies. In addition there will be the decline in employment
of all who handle cotton from field to consumer. As the con
tributor, Renwick C. Kennedy. says: i
"Continued control of cotton production means a final
and more or less complete loss of the world market. Con
tinued control means that sooner or later the southeast, save
for the delta and black belt section, must cease to produce
cotton. Continued control means that the southeast must
undergo an economic revolution, shifting its agriculture to
other crops, some of which have surpluses of their own. No
control could easily mean a 25.000,000 bale cron and 3 cent
cotton, with utter and immediate! bankruptcy for one-third
of the nation." V j
Kennedy adds that "an increasing number of people
believe that all restrictions should be removed from produc
tion regardless of immediate consequences. The outlook is
one of discouragement. Cotton ties into the general situation
in economics. Revived purchasing power would soon use up
the surplus cotton. That will come with removal of many of
the impediments which now obstruct the flow of commerce,

experts.

nigg. former chancellor of Austria, has been transferred to
another place of confinement. Swept swiftly from power,
this mild, very religious leader of a great and proud people,
has passed into oblivion. He yielded at the moment of pres
sure. Why could he not be permitted to find asylum in some
foreign land. Such a gentle soul would give tio occasion for
alarm to one so powerful as Hitler, Or he might have been
allowed freedom in his beloved Austria, for he would be
afraid to foment any rebellion against hazi rulej He had the
opportunity to resist when he was in power, with command
of any army. He gave way to save bloodshed. As an individual
he would surely give less cause for alarm than as dictator.
Papers carried pictures of former president Herbert
Hoover meeting Chancellor Schuschnigg, in the latter's
Jquarters at the seat of government, the same building where
"Dollfuss had been done to death at an abortive revolution a
few years before. Within a week Schuschnigg was out of
Dower, and seauestered from friends. Since then there has
been no authentic word of his whereabouts. He is a victim of
the Hitler conquest. j
Already out-dated, like the Hoover picture,! is the auto-

Families in
One of the earlv ventures
Tugwell regime was the building of a community at Hights
towp, N. J., where garment workers of New York City could
remove, operate a cooperative garment factory and live in
the attractive new homes the government built for them.
There were 200 houses constructed : but to date only 104 have
been occupied. The garment factory has been hit by the re
cession and unable to operate full- time. The man who pro
moted the enterprise, Benjamin Brown, has disappeared, af
fected it is thought by amnesia brought on over worry over
the project. i
Now it is announced that the government will make an
additional loan of $150,000 to help finance the industry, pro
viding working capital and for the construction and equip
ping of a new division of the factory. This will make $200,000
the government has invested in loans to the business besides
all the money spent in building the model town.
Whether the project will now succeed remains in doubt;
but the experience does show how futile it is for the govern
ment to attempt bringing the abundant life on any large
scale. The cost in this case is enormous; and still only 104
families are getting the benefits. There remain millions in

the rural area of Umatilla county and all of the towns except
Milton and Freewater. j
Of course, the Columbia river flows alongside "Umatilla

Death terminated all too soon the Jife of Dr. Prince W.
Byrd. His professional career was .distinguished for work
of conspicuous ability in a rare field : the treatment of mental
diseases. Oregon is among the most advanced states for suc

the state for institutional care. Dr. Byrd shares with others
of the hospital staff the credit for this accomplishment; and
his own share is large. 1 .

Fate and Tod Haskins
Tod Haskins. back in a cer
tain bottomlands region with
which I was once familiar, be
lieved in fate. He believed In It
implicitly. Too Implicitly. I fear,
for his own good. He was too
consistent. Which, considering the
quality of consistency and the rar
ity of it,, is something which can
not be said consistently of many
human beings.-.
The Haskins were a numerous
family. It was the custom at that
long ago time to raise numerous
families in the bottomlands. Tod
was the oldest boy, a shuffling
chap In his early twenties when
I knew him. And the Haskins
farm was a good farm. Not big.
but rich in the soil of It. It pro
duced adequately the means which
go to the making of happiness and
contentment along the simple
lines.
The family grew up. All the
girls were married, most of them
to boys met at dances np and
down the river. The boys, with
the exception of Tod, went out
into the world, some of them up
the river, some of them down the
river, and some over the river
hills to the westward.
But Tod stayed on and helped
his father with the farm work.
He might have married, as his
mother urged him to do. There
were heaps of girls in the neigh
borhood. several of whom pos
sessed the look and quality which
enters into the making of good
wives.
"No. maw." he said, 'Til Just
labor and wait like the poet says,
and I'll come out all right. Most
of the trouble in the world, comes
to folks because they don't wait
for fate to make their plans for
em."
Before Mr. Haskins died he sold
the farm, holding out four acres
In one corner, upon which he
planned to build a little house
for his wife and Tod to live in.
But fate decreed otherwise. Mr.
Haskins was given barely time to
divide the proceeds from the sale
of the farm amongst the children
before he died.
"I aimed to build you a house
on the four-acre piece," he told
his wife. "But 'doc' says I ain't
going to stay long enough. There's
money in the bank to do It with.
You'll have to do It yourselves.
There's rock aplenty on the nawth
end of the piece to do for the
foundation. Have Tod dig It out."
So. with a- feeble wave of a
gnarled hand and a smile on a
wrinkled face, he drifted out upon
the current of an invisible river
Tod, prodded by his mother,
dug out the rock and piled It up
But the house was never built.
Fate intervened passed down an
other decree and Mrs. Haskins,
whispering to the "doc" that she
was mighty tired of being a wid
ow, anyway, also passed out upon
tne current.
Then fate, if you care to con
sider It as such, took me away
from the bottoms. I was gone for
five years. And then, circum
stances being favorable, I dropped
over for a short visit. The folks
knew nothing of Tod Haskins

how fate finally adjusted matters
between him and Maizie and the

unwarranted.
