ADDRESS FROM SULLY.
THE FAMOUS COTTON BULL URGES
CUTTING THE ACREAGE

To The Cotton Growers Of the
South:
# you wish to win your battle
and obtain a fair price for your
cotton you must reduce your acre
age very considerably.
You have surprised the world
by the manner in which you have
held your cotton.
Surprise it again by cutting
down your cotton acreage.
Do not be led astray by the
present steadiness of prices.
Three causes have contributed
to bring about this rise of more
than a cent pound.
First: The urgent demand aris-
ing from an unprecedented con-
sumption.
Second: Your courage and
wisdom in making the buyer meet
your terms.
Third: The belief that you
would cut your acreage to such an
extent that the supplies from this
crop and the growth of 1906
would make a commercial crop no
larger than the world needs.
The first two causes lose their
force the moment it is known that
there is a prospect for amoderate-
~ large crop next year.
Even If the mills take 1000, !.
600 bales during the current sea
son, this would leave a carry over
of /, 800, 900 bales. Hence the ne
cessity of a smaller crop this.
year.
DO not let any rise in prices
between now and the end of the
planting season deter you from
reducing your acreage.
Such an advance would be mere
IL anticipating that you we're
making the decrease which your
friends have advised you to make.
If the June report of the Gov
eminent shows that you have fail
ed to make sufficient reduction the
only persons who would be gain
eFs by the advance would be the
spectators who sell out their fu-
lures at a profit.
The price Of the cotton you pro-
duce will be regulated by the act
ual, not the expected, reduction.
In this matter of acreage le-.
duction bear in mind three sug-
gestions
Don't depend on your neighbor
to do the reducing.
Don't rely on bad weather to
cut down the size Of the crop.
Don't put large acreage into
cotton simply because it is too
late to plant corn or other diver
sified crops.
Il would be far better TO let
part Of your land lie idle than to-
run the risk Of raising crop So
large as to make possible another
period Of low priced cotton.
am making this appeal TO you
because ] regard the next few
weeks as critical to the South and
becausB that I believe that every
man Who IS interested ID The vel
fare Of The South should urge the
Importance Of a reduced acreage.

Hicks For April.

A marked change to warmer will
pass from west to east over the county
during the first two or three days of
April. There will be storms of rain,
wind and thunder, centering on and
touching Monday and Tuesday, the
3rd and 4th. The tendency to hail
storms will be greatly increased. The
period will end in change to much cool
or with probable snow flurries north
ward, and cool to frosty nights to the
9Th.
The 7th and Sth changes to warmer
with outbreaks of rain and storminess
and make their transit to eastern sec
tions, being followed by change to much
cooler.
A regular Vulcan storm period ex
tends from the 18th to the 10Th, and
rain with thunder will touch numerous
localities in their progress eastward
over the country.
The nextsstorm period includes the
18th to the Goth inclusive. Very threat
ening electrical storms, violent and pos
sible tOrnadOs in places westward and
central are possible and probable.
These storms will break up into snow
squalls over much of the country north
ward and be followed by several days
of bleak to frost weather.
The next regular storm period Is
central on the oath, and April showers
will thicken into wider and heavier
thunder storms. AT all the periods III
April up to this period, many parts OF
| the country will get more rain than for
many months past.
Change to fair and cooler will follow
this period up to the 18th. On the
Goth reactionary storm conditions will
return. April will end with much
warmer weather and series of thun
der showers passing eastwardly across
| the country.
