Little Rock-I. G. Anderson OF
Rock Hill, S. c., originator of the
Rock Hill Plan" for a 25 per cent
reduction in the cotton acreage in
1912, has issued the following warn
ing, urging planters throughout the
South to stand by the plan and make
the movement success:
Il feel it proper and advisable in
me as the one who should be best
informed as to the probable results
to be expected under the Rock Hill
Plan movement for reduction Of cot
ton acreage, TO sound final warning
to everyone who has signed the Rock
Hill Plan pledge to adhear strictly to
it not only as a matter of personal
honor, bur for the sake of his own
direct gain and protection
with equal emphasis | would urge
all, in their own interests, who have
not been reached by Rock Hin Plan
hnvassers, or who have declined to
tign the pledge, to cut the acreage
End cut II deep. My opinion Of the
Judgment of the man who will in
crease his acreage this year is not

Planting time is about on through
out the belt, and the Rock Hill Plan
work is being closed up in the several
states, with an unusually late spring
prevailing generally over the belt.
The movement of fertilizer has got.
ten a tardy start, but has put on a
mighty gate recently,
Those who look to the late spring,
the noise of fertilizer reduction, or to
the other fellow doing the reducing
to any combination of these-to pro-
tect them against low prices-are
apt to be the ones to suffer
THE only safe course in the pres
ent crisis is to cut the acreage and
cut it deep The spring Of 1897 is
said to be the latest on record, The
number of acres planted that year
exceeded 1896 by 1,O46,375. and the
number Of bales produced exceeded
exceeded 1896 by 100000, with the
result that prices were low during the
fall of 1897. If we are to take 1897
as an example, it will not do to de.
