THE COTTON CONVENTION
At Austin Pronounced Fail
ure-Politicians Spoiled it.
AI1sl, IN TnN Mnrch u 1909


Special Correspondence to the LIGHT.
The cotton acreage convention that ad-
iOurned in the city Saturday were in SEES
sion two days and part of one night and
did nothing. Their presence in state
convention gives further truth To the old
assertion that farmers are no legislators.
They came here with vogue ideas of
what they intended doing. and when they
went home their IDEAS We're still ShrOuded
in mystery. With the true instinct of the
farmer, they conceived the idea about
IN" mtdd p OF the convention that by q
reduction of cotton acreage they would
heIp the rIch man, ana that
settled the question. They had come
here to request all farmers to
reduce their cotton acreage. and it
was generally concluded that those who
were i'll attendance upon the meeting
(Which number was about 800 would sign
an agreement TO reduce the acreage. But

were seen sea importing around the out
skirts OF the convention, and the ever
suspicious farmer thought he was helping
some rich mans interest. and "hv Ned

So, !OrSoOth, the resolution. when

necessary. as its deliberations would have
done no good. Had there been three hun

Again what would a reduction consist ia?
On what basis would it have been made?
The farmer with two thousand acres
in cotton could have agreed to reduce to
fifteen hundred acres: yet would that
have benefited any of the smaller farmers

have made him do his revenue would
