course is absolutely demanded by the
present statistics of cotton. The
present orm crop $4,000, 900
bales) will leave a surplus of at least
1000, 900 bales over and above the
worlds demands. to be added to the
crop which we are now planting.
"Should a crop of like proportion
be produced this year, the price of
cotton will necessarily fall below 5
cents, bringing not only loss to every
producer, but stagnatiOn to every
trade and profession, a check to com
merce, q depreciation in value of all
kinds of property, and bankruptcy to
many. Every bale beyond 10, 200, 900
produced this year will lend to de-
press the value of cotton below 10
cents, . value recognized to-day as
fairly remunerative to the producer.
To prevent the recurrence of another
overwhelming crop, we must reduce
acreage and commercial fertilizers at
least Is per cent, and we call most
earnestly upon the good people of this
State to aid US in securing this re-
duction.
"LOuisians must follow suit and
show to the world her high sense of
duty to self and her patriotic devotion
to the welfare of the entire country.
To secure thorough organization Of
the State, and with it faithful pledges
of reduction of acreage for the present
year, the following appointments have
been made with distinguished speakers
to address you,' and We cordially in
vite and earnestly implore every. cot
ton planter or farmer, merchant,
banker, factor. lawyer, doctor, etc.,
in fact, everybody interested in cot.

terested in the feecy stspleY) to attend
these meetings, assist in lpar6chisl

to the distinguished speakers here
given, others will be added rs secured
from this and other States, and local

According to General Leonard Wood,
commanding the military department.
of Mindanao, the climate of the Philip
pines must be regarded as a healthy
climate despite all that has been writ
ten to the contrary. Troops he
in all seasons and in all weathers, and
the number Of sick has never been such
as to in any way embarrass the move
ments of troops. If the soldier will
avoid the excessive use OF alcohol and
drink only boiled or distilled water he
can eat the fruits of the country and
expose himself to sun and rain with
practical impunity. There is no reason
to believe that men are debilitated by
service in this department, or that they
require a change after two years Of
service. Service mayk be monotonous
and the desire for transfer home cor
respondingly great, but there is nothing
in the effects of climatic conditions to
necessitate it. This statement is borne
out by the records of this department
for the past. years, and by the condi-
tion Of civilians who have been here
continuously for four years, and report
themselves in excellent health, state
ment borne out by their appearance.
The chief surgeon reports that notwith-
standing a far greater amount Of field
service this year than during the pre-
ceding year, the health Of the troops
has been better
