A two-page editorial from Textile World Record on U.S. government support for cotton growing, prompted by Carl S. Schofield's paper on Egyptian-type cotton in the Southwest. It lists the Bureau of Plant Industry's experiments, farmer seed distribution, and record-keeping from 1902 to 1912. It argues that cotton growing is more directly protected than cotton manufacturing. It also criticizes the Southern Cotton Corporation's 1912 proposals to Lancashire spinners, which it sees as a step toward a cotton trust.
