st ipulating the amount they would
give in cotton on November 1st for
each ton of corn kinds of fertilizers
and the amount In currency they
would pay if it so pleased them. They
decided also to use as little fertilizer as
possible and only the high grades. They
bound themselves to reduce the cotton
acreage. by only planting in cotton
that portion of their lands not used for
raising provisions for home consump

They likewise demanded that the
railroad commission Immediately re

days notice of such reduction before it
al become effective; and that the fer
tllIzer companies prepay freights on
their goods to be paid back on NOvem-
Der 1st. with a cotton option at 5 cents
a pound or November LIST if the farm
ers prefer that to paying the cash. In
case of the refusal of all parties to &C
qulesce in these demands they will use
no fertilizers at all this year.
