Reduce Your Acreage.

To the Cotton Growers: A year
ago strongly urged you to reduce
the acreage in cotton and grow more
feed stuffs. 1t seems from the acre
age report last year that only part
of the growers reduced their acreage
and in some sections a small increase
vas shown. The result has been
about as predicted, the lowest prices
we have had for several years. 1t
now looks as if the crop will bring
around $3.50, 100000 or over $50, O,OO0,-
900 less than last years crop which
was nearly 100000 bales smaller
and taking the cost of growing the
extra 1000, 900 bales it means loss
to the South of over a hundred mil
lion dollars.
The time has arrived when you
must decide on the acreage for this
season. | strongly urge you to re-
duce your acreage in cotton at least
ten per cent. and raise more grain
and so you will be more Independent
at marketing time. When the spin
ner is assured there is enough cotton
grown to supply his needs he is very
Independent and will only buy at
cheap prices. With possibility Of
a shortage he is a very eager buyer.
While the consumption for the
first half of the cotton year ending
March 1st will likely be a little less
than half the crop the consumption
the last half viii be very much larg-
er so that we will likely have about
the same visible supply that we
had last season so that we should
raise next year at least a million
bales less than the consumption in
order TO get good prices for it.
Now don't think that every one
else will reduce and you can plant
more and get a big price, for that is
what too many OF you did last seas
Oh. 1t will take a uniform reduction
in order to get proper results. You
should only plant enough SO that
with the most favorable conditions
the crop would not exceed $1,000, 900
and then if weather conditions re-
duce the yield to 100000 you get
more money for it than if you raised
II, 100000.
l hope that every merchant read
ing this article will call his farmer
customers attention to it and urge
the reduction. 1t is the extra hun
dred million dollars the cotton crop
brings that makes trade good through
the South. | suggest that meetings
be held in every school-house in the
South Saturday, March 7th, so that
uniformity of action may be taken.
