OUT THE ACREAGE.

There is move on foot among the farmers
of the South to cut down their cotton acreage,
and plant part Of the land in cotton in some
thing else. In Georgia, some farmers are re-
ported to have plowed up a certain per cent
Of their cotton, and put the land in things
for home consumption It is a fact which all
should know that one sure way to raise the
price Of cotton is to plant less Of it. Action
along this line must be general to be effect
i've, but if it is general the price is sure to 60
up. What if every farmer would cut his cot
ton acreage 20 per cent below what he had
planted the year before? The result would
be that the people of the South would get as
much money for the smaller crop as they had
been getting for the larger one, and the sur
plus land used to raise something else.~~Mt
