To the Cotton Growers of SoutI, Car
Olina:
The executive committee of the

me to 'ssuc an address in reference
to tho acreage for 1905.
Whatever may be the motives that
prompt It, 1t Is fact. nevertheless
that he cotton mills in America are
running on short time; more limiting
their hours per day and others rur.
ming only certain day, in the Week,
The effect of this will be to curtail
the cops'Imptio n of raw cotton.
1t Is unquestionably true that we
have made a small crop-in fact 81
small that if<thc mills were running
on full s;me 1t would hardly prove ad
equate to the demand. 1t is earnestly
desired by >the manufacturing inter.
csts to 80 curtail the use OF raw cot.
ton that they will have on hand sur.
plus at the time the new crop comes
in.
II the acreage in cotton is not re.
duccd. we Will be confronted perhaps
by a surplus of the old crop and a
large acreage staring us in tho face
With these conditions the price Of
cotton would be put below the cos,
of production.
The effect upon every branch Of in.
dustry and the people throughout tn:
South would he pitiable indeed If we
are agaic to have low price cotton.
The situation is entirely in the hand:
of tho farmer, and I earnestly plead
that they raise an abunlanc. Of home
supplies, and this In itself will neccs
sarily reduce the cotton acreage. ]

States an earnest appeal is being
made to the farmers to adopt the
course which recommend to you. ]

Of warning in ample time to forestal

II we can make our supplies al

not need much cotton to pay them
Let every farmer profit by the expe
iicnce OF the past anil nuke enough
