POOLE TO THE FARMERS
REDUCTION OF ACREAGE URGED Bl
 COMMISSIONER.
Cotton Growers of Alabama Called to Meet fin various Counties Tues day to Consider Price
 of Staple.

'The man who refuses to decrease his acreage should be considered as an enemy to his neighbor and his coun- try"
 So desperately necessary Is it for the cotton growers to reduce their acreage this year that this conclusion is stated in a general appeal Issued yesterday by Commissioner of Agriculture R, R. Poole to the farmers of Alabama
 The appeal of the Commissioner is made at this Juncture in order to pre- pare the Alabama cotton planters for the object of the meetings he has called for Tuesday. January 10, in all the country towns and villages.
 Commissioner Poole says that the spinners have not gotten in their sup plies yet and If the holders of cotton do not run the staple to the market the demand will raise the price In a reasonable length of time. He urges the holding of neighborhood meetings in all parts of the cotton growing States after the general gatherings Monday.
 The letter of the Commissioner of Ag- riculture issued yesterday is as fol- lows: ITO the Farmers of Alabama:
 You have been requested to meet at your country towns on tuesday the 10th inst. for the purpose of discuss ing the cotton situation, as we find 1t today Contrary to all expectations, the 1904 crop has reached the enorm- ous amount of 12.o0o.000 bales, accord ing to the Government report. The size of the crop has given spectators an opportunity to force the price down until 1t Is now below the actual cost of production. Can we afford to pro- duce cotton at a loss, and are we go- ing to allow our property confiscated without a serious and determined pro- test?
 "The spinners are yet to be supplied; if our people will not force their hold ings on the market, the demand will bring the price up. in a reasonable length of time.
 T hope that you will discuss plans for holding your surplus, taking the merchants and bankers into your coun- Eclls. When you have done this. cal Ineiehborhood meetings for the purpose

The wall street Journal says: The November and five months' re. ports of Louisville and Nashville earn tngs sustain the action of the board of directors in increasing the semi-annuaI dividend fro nn2 I-3 to 8 per cent.
 An increase in the November ex- penses of $293,347 is overcome by the corresponding increase of $34s.65S in the Rross. leaving a net increase of $50.3l1 for the month.
 Comparisons for the five months make a still better argument for the better action of the board In Increas. ing the rate The increase in ex- penses for the five months period was only $25,l56 as compared with the cor. responding period In 1903, whereas the increase in gross was $5l3,766 and the net increase was $4Ss,610 over the first five months Of the fiscal year of 1908
 The five months net Is greater than for any corresponding period in the as a clincher to the proposition that Louisville and Nashville Is permanent ly on a per cent basis.
