JoRDAN's STATEMENT.
Calls on Cotton Planters to Re.
duce Acreage Thirty-Three
Per Cent.

Atlanta, Ca, April S.-In
signed statement to the farmers o
the South issued today, Harvie Tor
dan, president of the Southern Cot
ton Association, urges reduction
in cotton acreage of 50 per cent.
Unless this is done, he said, prf
ces will be lower next fall. Mr.
Jordan also urges growers to hole
what cotton they have.
The statement follows:
"At no time i'll the history of cot
ton production in the South has il
ever been more imperative to reduce
the cotton acreage throughout the
cotton belt and increase the staple
food supply on every farm than
this spring.
with a shortage in the world
supply of cotton, amounting to a.
500, 900 bales, due to bad seasons
last year. the price of spot cotton
continues to go steadily down.
American mills have been for
some time curtailing the manufac-
ture of cotton goods due to trade de-
preston, and the condition of the
foreign trade is none too bright at
the present time.
"If the average is planted in cot
ton this year that was planted in
1907 and followed by good seasons
in America. India and Egypt, the
growers will find but little or no
profit in the harvest next fall.
These are facts and should he
seriously considered. To those who
are still holding a portion or all of
their last years crop, l wish to say
that general CO operative efforts are
now being made all over the South
to tie up this remnant of the 1907
crop remaining unsold until prices
have reached much higher levels.
Every bale of cotton now i'll the
hands of spot holder will be need
ed by the mills of the word before
next September. The portion of the
crop now remaining unsold is small
and can be held and financed for
three or four months longer if neces-
sary. Within that time, if the sale
of cotton is absolutely checked all
along the line, the price of the staple
must advance to much higher levels.
Let every cotton planter cut this
springs acreage 80 per cent. and
good prices will be received next
fall.
Let every spot holder III the
South refuse to market any cotton
for the next few months and the
remnant of 1907 will be marketed
at remunerative and satisfactory |
prices"

crust with the harrow or cnltivatoi
forms sort of mulch and prevents
the evaporation of too much water.
The corn plant needs more water
than any other plant and the SUI.
face of the soil should be cultivated
as soon as possible after each rain
with your cultivator because as you
know the rain always packs the
ground and allows the water to
evaporate.
Some may tell you that your
corn needs the dirt put to it, !" but
it does not, for if you will notice on
every stalk there are small roots
like projections which come out
just above the ground and grow
downward for the purpose of sup
porting the stalk. There is anoth-
er reason why the cultivator should
be used in place of the turning
plow and that is the cultivator
breaks only the surface of the
ground and leaves the roots un-
harmed, while the turning plow
goes down and tears up the roots
which are to feed the plant The
roots of the corn plant feed very
near the surface of the g;,rund and
extend at least four OF FIVE feet out
OIL every side of the planl and for
this reason you should be very care
full about the way in which you
cultivate your corn
Be sure to try some experiments
on your corn with frIulizers. If
you have rich piece of ground or
have fertilized il before planting |
with well rotttl stable manure. so
much the better; but try the use
of some cotton seed meal after the
corn is sixteen or eighteen inches
high. Distribute it along six or
eight inches from the plant and
mix it we'll with the soil with your
side harrow or cultivator. Be sure
not to put it at the root of the
plants i'll little piles for all the roots
will concentrate right there and
when the fertilizer is all gone the
plant starves. If your ground is
rich in nitrogen. that is, if
Iots of stable manure has been ap-
piled to it recently, try some acid
on it for that is what
makes the grain. The nitrogen
goesto make large vigorous stalk.
You will not need any potash fer +
-ilizer as there is enough in the
LAY of our lands to last thousands
IF years. You might try the ap-
olication of fertilizers at different
stages in the growth of the crop.
If l can help you in any way, let
lie hear from you.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22.-Discovery Of
a number of animals suffering from foot
and mouth disease was made in Lancaster
and Northumberland counties of this state
today, and thus far more than ten counties
are under strict quarantine.
DR.. Leonard Pearson, state veterinarian
left the city this afternoon for Lancaster
county.
I'VE are watching day and night said
DR.. Pearson, for new cases and to pre-
vent the spread Of contagion from the herds
that are afflicted"
He said that he had examined a girl Of
Danville, Pa, who showed symptoms Of
the disease, and added that It looked as
though the child had been infected. DR..
Pearson said that the disease was danger
Gus to human beings under conditions that
favor It's spread.
In speaking Of the precautions taken. he
said that when diseased cattle were found
on a farm, hogs, sheep and other animals
were killed.
Because of its highly contagious char
a%cter," he said, I'VE are fighting the dis
ease as 1t never has been fought before.
The cases discovered near Danville, Pa,
two weeks ago are the first to be found in
North America in the last six years"
The veterinarian said there was no reason
for the British embargo on Philadelphia. as
no Pennsylvania beeves are shipped abroad
from this port. The only danger, he said,
in the expectation OF cattle from this city
lies in the possibility of western herds con-
tracing the disease as they are unloaded
in this state or transferred from city to

Ed WALSH LEADS LEAGUE
White soz Pitcher is the Premier Of
the American.
OLD CY YOUNG UP AT THE TOP
SOC outaeId Every other Team-
OmciaI Averages for the Last
sesson Are Made Public
s,-s by the league.

According to the averages the White sox
outfielded every other American league
team. According to the same standard De-
trolt was next to the poorest fielding team
in the league. New York was the poorest.
and that much OF the record doubtless is
correct. , ..se
But the real interesting information dis
closed by the records Just made public are
those pertaining to the pitchers. Walsh,
Chicago's big standby. pitched fifty-five
games. winning forty and losing fifteen,
and making a percentage OF .727. which
leads the league. This lie a feat that calls
for great praise. one that few pitchers in
the buslnes could equal II put to the test.
1t is all the more remarkable because
Walsh was going strong at the close Of the
season. Had comiskey been able to depend
upon another pitcher with anywhere near
the same regularity as Walsh the sox
would have walked away with the flag.
White was next to Walsh OF the Chicago
pitchers, but the doctor only won nine
teen games to thirteen lost.
After all, It is seriously to be questioned
II the remarkable Achievement Of Ed Walsh
surpasses that Of old Cy Young. Young
was pitching in front OF a much less re-
liable team than. Walsh and yet the vet
eran OF twenty years in fast company came
out with twenty-one wins and eleven
losses to his credit an average of $50,
which puts him sixth in point Of rank in
the league. The pitchers above him and
below Walsh are Donovan. joss. Summers
and Dineen.
Here are the official averages in field
ing and pitching, as announced by the
American league for the season Of 1908:
