The prevailing high price OF pork" said
Congressman Adolph Meyers Of New orlesn. -
the Normandie this morning TO The sr.a
representative, will, singularly as IL NAV app
pear. Affect the cotton acreage throughout the
south OF next years crop. Most Of the planters
are dependent upon financial assistance Go carry
them over 10 the end OF the season. and when
they are obliged TO set aside a largely in crcased
amount Of their financial resources for their
hands their means are proportionately limited
for acreage expenditure. They are mainly de-
pendent upon the west for pork and do nos
raise il in sufficient quantities TO sup
ply home consumption. They are in hopes,
consequently, that pork will materially
depreciate In price. Within recent years fer
tlizers have entered largely into the producing
capacity per acre OF our cotton lAnds. This 10
also an additional outgo. though. perhaps. the
return from increased production IL COM
three or four acres has produced one bale to
the acre. From my observations. made during
q recent visit south, believe that the PLANTER.
next year will plant all the available acreage
that they have and their resources permit and
II the season is q good one and good prices are
maintained next year will be q prosperous Que
