THE QUESTION OF COTTON ACRE.an

THE QUESTION OF COTTON AGREAGE
Inc Plcayuue yesterday comment
ed on the fact that there will he n cot
ton convention at Memphis ON Dec
~ for the purpose of deVisiug ways
and means to meet Tho crisis In the
cotton Industry created by 5.cent cot.
ton. The Picayune expressed the
opinion that only good could come of
such a convention, because, in the Grst
place, 1t was likely to lead to a syste-
matte curtaillng of acreage next spring.
and, IN the second, the remembrance
OF the results which followed the hold
ing Of similar convention during the
disastrous season of 1894 ia sure 10 IN
duce the cotton trade to expect similar
results to follow The convention soon
to be held. In fact, any show of de.
termination on the part of the cotton
producers to reduce acreage next
spring is apt to have an immediate
beneficial effect on the market, al
though several months must yet elspse
before preparations are made for the
next crop.
While a resolpboA .g FeouSs 800
aEn ~ a al uuan.-s
~ ~ "Sl ohH -..,c-
~gn as atemporary ex-
pedIent, it is not the permanent policy
the cotton producers of the south
shoHld follow. a systematic shorten
ing OF acreage for u long term Of
years, thereby INITIATING prices, would
merely serve to encourage cotton pro-
duction in foreign countries to tue
deriment of the United States. This
country can produce cotton more
cheaply than any other country, and
should consequently furnish the great
bulk of the cotton needed by the
world. The proper policy 10 pursue,
is to cheaper the cost of production
and TO produce as much as is c2usis.
tent with due regard to reasonable
profit.
AT the convention held during the
season of 1894-95 it was determined
that the proper policy for the cotton
farmer to pursue was to diversity his
crops and to devote larger proper
ton of his land than heretofore 10
feod crops. The idea was to make
cotton as nearly surplus or cash crop
as possible. A general adoption of
this policy would, it was believed,
keep the acreage devoted to cotton
within bounds, and at the same time
greatly lower the cost of producing
the staple, making the farmers indie
pendent of outside assistance.
Ihis policy of crop diversifcatioD |
aud more intensified farming was
quito generally resorted to with the |
most beneficial results, but the expe-
rience of two prosperous seasons made |
farmers careless, and the old plan of |
as much cotton as possible |
was resortGd to with the uniaVorable !
results which are now being oxpe-
rienCed.
1t is hoped, therefore, that the COR
7ention to take place next month Il"
Memphis will emphasize the necessity |
'or crop diversiication, more iniensi-
ied farming and the production al
nome, as far as possible, of all the sup
plies required. These are the methods |
which have made the farmers of the |
West prosperous aud have enabled
them to survive periods of extreme |
depression in the value of cereals
