COTTON RILLS USE
LESS THAN ONE I
PER CENT OF

Fifteen Hundred More Cotton
Mills Needed. ■
Cotton Mill and Farmer Insep-
arable Comrades.
There is no industry more impor-
tant to our progress than that of the
cotton mills and none more in need
of the
tory rone and the cotton mill is now]
a pioneer industry. It can thrive]
jonly where business conditions are|
reliable, a publio sentiment stable!
and the consuming public friendyE
to Its output. Too product is a|
staple one and when it enters the]
market musg inpet the competition I
of tl^eMWni&etti toother]? mills
| where there iR anabundance of waste
labor, cheap fn||, cheap money, and!
where condition! are more settled. I
We have fifteen cotton mills in]
Texas representing an investment oil
I$2,289,000, running 112,404 spin!
dies and having fi-capacity of 40,000
bales, a yearly output valued at ap-
proximately $2,250,000 and giving
Good I
for aale aheap at
b'fl
employment to 1,000 people.
Our cotton mills use less than one
per cent of our cotton production;
the remaining ninety-nine per cen’
seeks the foreign factory. The peo
pie of Texas consume approxypateh
220.000 bales of cotton per annum
and yet out of the 40,000 bales man-
ufactured in Texas, at least seventy
per cent of it must find a market
outside of the State,- due to our
failure to patronize home industry.
It-would require 1,500 cotton mills
of the capacity of our present fac-
tories to consume the product of our
farms, calf for an investment of
$250,000,000, give employment to
150.000 people and add approximate-
ly a quarter oi a billion dollars in
value to our cotton crop.
These desirable conditions can on-
ly be obtained through co-operation
and by fostering and encouraging
this important Industry.
The cotton ;mill and the cotton
farm gre inseparable comrades and
in promoting the prosperity of the
former we build up the latter.
