Hon. L. F. Livingston has writ
ten to President Polk of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance letter in
which he advises the farmers of the
cotton belt to lessen cotton produc-
ton in order to put up the price of
cotton, which has lately reached the
lowest point known for many years.
He thinks that if the production of
cotton is lessened by Is per cent.
the price will be increased by 20 per
cent. Meanwhile the acreage devo-
ted to the raising of food products
can be correspondingly increased,
and the farmer can raise his own
meat and corn. He proposes that
the various agricultural organiza-
ticns of the cotton belt shall hold a
convention for the purpose Of pro-
viding for united effort to de-
crease the production and put up
the price OF cotton. IL is estimated
that if the next cotton crop should
be 100000 bales, as last years was
100000 bales, the price must sink
to seven cents; but that the price
would go up to thirteen cents if the
crop should not exceed 5000, 900
bales. Therefore it calls upon the
farmers of the Gotten belt to "stand
shoulder to shoulder in this grand
industrial campaign"
