PLANT LESS COTTON.

The cotton convention at Biz
mingham expressed the belief that
the present crop will not exceed
eight and one-half million bales
This appears to be safe estimate
The cotton exchanges have prob
ably overestimated the crop, and
their purpose is obvious.
The convention adopted resolu
tions concerning the following sub
jects.
/. Reduction of cotton acreage
and increased attention to the pro,
duction of cereals,
2. Greater attention to hog anG
cattle raising,
3. Encouragement of manufac
turing in the south, exempting man
lfacturers from taxation for a pc
IlOQ VI ten years
4. Encouragement of immigra-
grafton. Advising that large PLAN
cations be divided into small farms
and the latter to be sold to bona iide
homeseekers
5, Recommending that cotton
be withheld from sale by farmers
who are not in debt to their factors
and that it be held for a rise, which
may reasonably BE expected If pres
ent heavy receipts are appreciably
reduced.
6. The organization of the Cot
Ton Planters Association of the
United States Of America, to meet
ut least twice a year, and to con-
8ist of four delegates from each
congressional district in the cotton
growing states and three delegates
1t large from each state, appointed
by governors of such states irres.
pective Of party preference; said
association to hold its first meeting

)iesday in January, 1896
Z Cotton seed trusts condemn

g. Congress petitioned to pass
the anticipation bill,
8. Congress to be requested to
refund the cotton tax collected in
lS66-67.
A cotton planters association
ought to be able to secure reduc-
ton in cotton acreage, and If this
is accomplished farmers will natur-
ally give their attention to diversi'
fled crops and stock raising.

The incorporation of some new feature
in the association. to stimulate an interest
not now felt by its members. has at times
occurred to me as being advisable. When.
ayear or two ago. We had prospect of
acquiring a valuable lot. eligibly located,
the,thought OF accommodating fund TO be
applied TO the relief OF pioneers overtaken
by misfortune was associated with the
acquisition of the property. the rental of
which would afford the nucleus of said
fund. Recent events have shown that
none are exempt from these misfortunes:
that the rich are subject TO the same
vicissitudes as the poor. and no man can
foresee today what his pecuniary condi-
ton will be year hence. The hope has
been INDUCED that some wealthy pioneer
during his lifetime would donate one or
more lots for this purpose, and thus per-
petuate his memory in the grateful hearts
of all who survived him, whether bepe-
hciaries or not Such q step would I'M
questionably result In greatly strengthen
