A Message to Gov. Hall.

Natchitoches, La, Sept. q. :
President Paul M. Potts, of the
Louisiana division of the South
ern Cotton Association, to-day
sent the following telegram to
Governor L. E. Hall, who is al
Washington, D. c., to attend the
conference of southern COVER
nors on the cotton situation:
Gov. L. E. Hall, Washington:
If the farmers of Louisiana
had planted this year double the
acreage in corn that we did plant,
all the corn that this acreage
could have grown would be need
ed for consumption within the
borders of Louisiana; therefore,
our people favor at least a so per
cent reduction in cotton acreage
for 1915. There is a fixed cost
to growing a crop of cotton and
any farmer is better off to plant
ten acres in cotton and sell his
cotton at a profit than to plant
twenty acres and sell what he
grows at a loss. The reduction
of the cotton acreage enforced
by the enactment of a law would
give us immediate relief and keep
the cotton that we have on hand
from being sacrificed; while vol
untary reduction of acreage by
agreement will not do us any
good until late next spring when
it becomes definitely known that
we have reduced and not until
after all of our cotton has been
sacrificed, therefore, we ask that
you do favor the enactment of a
law compelling a reduction of the
acreage at the Washington con-
ference of southern governors
and save us from ruin. If it
could be positively known to-
morrow that the cotton acreage
would be cut half in two in 1915
the price of cotton would imme-
diately advance to IL cents or
more per pound.
PAUL M. PORTS,
Prest. La. Division S. C. A.
President Potts stated that he
had seen from press reports that
the governor takes the position
that the boil weevil will do the
reduction work of Louisiana, and,
while this is largely true, still the
price of cotton is not determined
by conditions in any one locality
or State, and that the matter
must be handled from the stand
point of the whole cotton grow
ing territory.
