APPEAL TO GROWERS.
The Address Prepared and Issued TO
the Public.

Memphis. Jan. 2i,--The committee ap-
pointed by today's cotton growers con-
vention to prepare an address to the
cotton planters OF the world. gave out
the following tonight;
To the Cotton Growers OF America.
The Cotton Growers Protective Assoc
citation of America In convention as
scmbled at Memphis. Tenn, on this. the
2lst day OF January, 1896, again come
to you with an urgent appeal for CO.
operative action In planting the crop
for 1896. II is n matter OF extreme
congratulatlon that the appeal made
TO you last year was so generally re-
sponded to and that the crop OF 1895
made upon the diminished acreage hos
had the effect OF greatly increasing the
price and bringing prosperity to the
country. The crop OF 1895 though es-
timated TO be a.400.000 bales short OF tho
crop OF 1894 was In the markets OF the
world worth more by nearly 5000 900.
In the face OF this result TO abandon
the idea OF diminishing acreage would
be TO sound the retreat In the face of
victory, II Is the concensus OF opinion
among the best thinkers that II by any
means tho crop OF America could be
held within the limits Of 1000, 900 bales
per annum for ten years the people OF
these Southern states would be tho
richest and most prQsperous agricul-
turai people in the world. How can
this DO brought ebout7 Ubs action y

terest and your patriotism TO do all in
your power to keep down the produce
ton OF the staple. Do not abandon tho
grounds you have won fight on tho
lines laid down. make cotton self-sup-
porting. put more lands in clover and
grass for your hogs to run on: diver
sify your crops and when you have
done all this the area devoted to cotton
Will yield more profitable returns than
II you sought to Increase the number
OF your bales. II Is felt by the most
thoughtful men that We are entering
upon n year of great uncertainties and
that even n small cotton crop may fail
10 give adequate returns for its produce
tion. The mutterings OF a storm are
disturbing the country and unsettling
all business calculations. The prudent
man viii trim his sails to meet It..
with the commerce OF the country In

cotton would be uasaleable except ut
nominal prices. Every consideration.
therefore OF prudence, OF self-interests
and patriotism. demands that you ad-
here strictly to the rule of diminished
acreage. Earnest men ara earnestly
working to lead you and to guide you
into prosperity. Don't let them labor
In vain, but cheertully and hopefully
respond to their appeal.
