Editor Atlanta Journal There are
two matters which should receive the
serious attention Of cotton growers IN
the south at the present time. The
first Is the disposition among some
planters TO contract with cotton buy
ers now for the delivery OF the output
Of their farms for next year based on
present future prices for cotton In
October, 1910. It has been reported to
me that deals Of this character are
being made around prices Of Is cents
per pound basis middling and that
those making or considering the max
ing of such contracts, assert that they
will plant every available acre in cot
ton they can in the spring Of 1910.
II any large portion Of the next sea-
sons crop is contracted for this win
ter and II results in any material in
crease in the acreage planted, that
fact will undoubtedly be used to de-
press prices and injure those who
would not, or could not enter into such
contracts The other fact to which 1
wish 10 call attention is that an in
crease in the cotton acreage does not
necessarily mean an increase in the
size OF the crop. The largest crop pro-
duced in the south before the close OF
the 18th century was in 1898. The
crop produced that year amounted in
round figures to 11,250,000 bales on an
estimated acreage of 22,Oo0,oo0 acres,
the acreage yield OF lint cotton per acre
being 24s pounds. Since 1898 the av-
erage increase in the acres planted to
cotton has been about 100000 acres
per annum, but the annual yield per
acre has steadily decreased so that
with an increase Of 100000 acres
more in 1903 over that OF 1898, the
crop Is not likely TO exceed that OF
1898. With the exception Of the years
1905 and 1908, there has been on per-
ceptible Increase in the size Of the

WARNING TO COTTON GROWERS

crops each year over the two years Of
1897 and 1898, although a marked in
crease in the acreage has been made.
Instead of maintaining the average of
1897 and 1898 amounting to about 240
pounds OF lint per acre, we have since
that time dropped to as low as 1856 pounds
OF lint per acre in 1908 and held the av-
erage down between 100 and 200 pounds
since 1903. 1t is evident that an in
crease In the cotton acreage OF SS per
cent since 1898 has been OF no material
beneft except to depress prices and add
80 per cent to the cost OF producing the
same size crops we made when the acre
age was 10000, 900 acres less than that now
planted, which is estimated at $4,000, 900.
Here is food for serious thought not only
to the cotton growers OF the south, but
to all of those financial and Industrial in
terests in the south more or less vitality
dependent upon the cotton crop. II our
lands are wearing out through the extern
sive culture OF cotton, then the present
system of farming needs revision on
broad and extended scale There must
be a better conservation Of soils. by more
thorough preparation and fertilization. A
more specific diversification and rotation
OF crops, which means more food sup
plies and less acreage in cotton. Increase
the yield OF lint per acre and produce
normal supplies of cotton TO meet the
worlds consumptive requirements upon a
more economic basis of the cost of pro-
duction. 1t will be poor policy to delude
the growers into the planting of an in
creased acreage in 1910. Cotton should
be the money crop. but 1t cannot and
never will bear the entire burdens Of
the farm and be profitable to the grow
ers. Each Individual farmer should plan
to farm upon a profitable basis and
thereby continue his present prosperity.
