Resolution on 1907 Cotton Acreage.

The following resolution was pass
ed by the great convention Of the
Southern Cotton Association held
in Birmingham.
"In view Of the fact that a great
many farmers have adopted the in
tensive system Of farming, increas-
ing the yield per acre and new terri
tory each year is being planted in
cotton that heretofore has not grown
cotton, thereby increasing the pro-
duction, therefore III order to main
tain satisfactory and remuneratve
prices, we urge and recommend a
full reduction Of 10 per cent of cot
ton acreage for the year 1907. +"
"We further recommend that the
acreage so reduced be planted in
food crops
"We are sure that unless the
farmers unitedly reduce their acre
age of cotton that they will be con-
fronted at the end OF fthe season
with equally bad, if not worse condi-
tions than they were in 1904, when
| cotton went down to cents per
pound.
Respectfully submitted by the
| Committee on acreage"

The executive committee of North
Carolina Division Of the Southern
Cotton Association earnestly solici!
the aid of every farmer, merchant
banker and all men of the state. who
are interested in maintaining fan
price for cotton, to use their infiu
ence to reduce the acreage for 1907
full 10 per cent from the acreage
planted in 1906.
We also call for help in our effor1
to produce on every farm in the state
sufficient food and feed crops fol
