An unsigned editorial from The New Republic (December 25, 1915) on the effect of World War I on the Southern United States economy. It argues that falling cotton prices pushed Southern farmers toward crop diversification into corn, oats, wheat, hay and livestock, and discusses growing Southern industry, low farm productivity, and the need to educate the Black and white rural population. Textile content is limited to cotton as a crop and the Carolinas' and Georgia's cotton manufacturing.
