Competition By GEORGE S.BENSON President of Harding College S e arcy. Arkansas AMONG the modest newcomers to American competition 25 years ago was a product called rayon. It was manufactured in the form of yam, like wool and cotton yarns. The price to weavers was $2.80 a pound against 50for cot ton yarn. Last year 55<J a pound was the price of both rayon and cotton yarns, and rayon was on the market as a fibre, very much like cotton fibre, but somewhat less expensive. Back in 1919 the American peo ple bought less than 2 % as much rayon as cotton. Last year the ratio was 20% and rayon had captured quite a slice of cotton’s export demand. Europeans earn less than Americans and they pay more attention to a low price. If it were not for the war, using up all both industries can pro duce, rayon would probably be giving cotton some tough compe tition. Production WHEN the war and Wages ends, these two big industries are faced with a struggle for sales in world markets. It is anybody’s guess now how the struggle will turn out, but King Cotton is not licked. The cotton industry is still much bigger; still employs more people than any other American industry. Besides, smart cotton men understand how rayon made its remarkable gains. - Rayon started out the Amer ican way. It had relatively large Investments in machinery- With good tools, it turned out large volumes of rayon per worker. On a basis of big results from their day’s work, the men who worked drew good wages. At the same time, large outputs of rayon per man every day made it possible for prices to go lower and sales grow larger each year. Mechanized WORKING people Farm Work in America have a right to live well. When they earn good wages, they do live well. Money they spend is the very life blood of national prosperity. But before they can earn good pay they have to turn out lots of merchandise per worker. And in order to produce goods in volume they must have good tools. It was a successful plan with rayon and it will work with cotton. People say there is a practical cotton picker ready for introduc tion after the war. It will cost a lot more than one big sack and a string for each member of a share-cropper’s family. It will likewise pick more cotton in a day than they can pick in a week. Efficient tools call for capital in vestment. It means laying out money, but efficient tools are worth it. People say we will see many mechanical cotton choppers after the war. It is not impossible. This will increase the number of acres of cotton per worker; make more yield per day for every man. The new farm machinery will cre ate high wages and good living for a lot of people. But rayon can win its war with cotton if cotton tries to stay in the field armed with hoes and gunny-sacks.
