can feel that you did your part to
add to the prosperity of the country.
Is 1T good business to plant crop
where there is no profit in it2 No.
Then let every reader at once plant
part OF his present acreage intended for
cotton in some feed crop or let the
land lie idle one season as you can get
more money for the crop grown on the
part you do cultivate. II you have it
already planted do not work it out as
it will be labor thrown away.
Which do you prefer? To plant
your present acreage and get from to
= cents per pound or reduce it and get
II to 10 cents and possibly higher.
The present contemplated acreage and
good weather means a return to the old
days of cheap cotton of ten years ago
while reduced acreage means con.
tinuance of the prosperity of the past
few years.
Let every planter that reads this at
once make up his mind that he will
not be the cause of Wall Street Bears
fixing the price for your crop as they
will do with large crop. Go to work
at once to reduce your own acreage
and see as many of your neighbors as

1t is as much your duty as mine to
help in this work. get nothing for
it.
again urge the members of the
Farmers Union and Southern Cotton
Association to work together for re-

ROSES DOING HONOR

ceived so many letters endorsing my
efforts for reduction in acreage from
nearly every section of the South that
| have decided to continue the work
and by request write another article
on similar lines that will be carried
by the Southern weekly papers all dur
ing this month so that every planter
will have a chance to read it. Cotton
for Ocotber delivery sold this week at
eight cents per pound. Can you pro.
duce it at profit at this price? No.
Then in order to get profit ON what
you raise this season you must plant
less than you intended planting at first.
Reports on the acreage issued SO far
show that the acreage will be about 4
per cent larger than last year. This is
probably due to the new farmers that
have settled in Oklahoma and West
Texas putting in so much new land
We must more than offset this increase
by reducing in the rest of the belt.
| again state that the main cause for
the decline in prices is lack of conf
dence caused by the fear of large
acreage which means, with good
weather conditions, large crop and
even lower prices than at present. Do
you want to grow crop at an actual
loss? IL not reduce your acreage; then
il your neighbor persists in planting
large acreage and you have to sell your
crop at loss you lose less than he. If
by reducing you add $500, 000 900 to

satisfaction over the terms of the
sale us advertised. The people of
Kauai regard it as continuation of
the old policy of concentrating the
land in the hands of the few to the
exclusion of the many. There are
over $4,000 acres of land on Ka-
uai," said MIR. Silva, land only fifty
landowners.
I'VE told the Governor this morn
ing" said Mr.. White, that we had
no axe TO grind. What we wanted
was the opportunity to protest the
terms of this sale without having to
state that we are prospective bidders.
We represent a large number of the
citizens of Kauai who object to the
terms of this sale as unfair to them.
IF the Mana lands are sold as ad.
vertised 1t means virtually giving
them away to the Knudsens, for no.
body else has any possible chance to
buy them under the provisions of the
sale. The Government requires that
out of each 500 acres of the land, $50
acres at least must be planted to 81
sal, 1000 plants TO the acre. This is
an utter impOssibility. The average
man cannot raise the money to COM
ply with this requirement, and, If he
could, he cannot get the sisal plants,
tor the Knudscns have an option on
all that can be bought in the Terri
tory. This means that nobody bu.
the Knudscns can bid for the land.
"All we are asking for Is fair play
We want this sisal provision knocked
cut and the land offered In such par.
cells as the average man can afford To
buy. They say that the land Is fit for
nothing but sisal, but this is not true.
Cocoanuts and other things will grow
there. But granting, merely for the
sake of argument, that sisal Is the
only thing that will grow on the sand
lots, that Is no reason why the Gov.
eminent should offer the land undo:
such terms as to restrict il To the
Knudsens and shut ont other people.
Everybody ought to be given an equal
show That is our contention and
that Is what we told the Governor.
There Is nothing fair in requiring that
tho purchasers plant sisal when only
the Knudsens can get sisal."
