ORGANIZE TO
 REDUCE ACREAGE
Largest Land Owners of Au- yergne Section Cooperate to Plant Small. Grain and Re
 duce Cotton Acreage.

la the progressive community iof .uvergne, the largest land- owners have made a practical ista1 toward crop diversification anu reduction of cotton acreage through an organized movement that will make practicable their plan. It is worthy of the at Uentlon of the farmers of other communities, who would do we'll to follow up this movement by similar organizations in their own sections. A
 These Auvergne farmers and landowners comprised such men as John c. Henderson, M. B. {; Hare, F. L. Bleakley, J. R. Dav- is, w. c. c. Wilson, s. Ms Neldon, Vim. Neldon, J. c. Han- del and c. w. Handel.
 They met Tuesday night, Sep tember 23d, and organized by e. lecting Marvin Hare, president and c. w. Handel secretary. The situation was talked over and all agreed that the cotton acreage must be reduced and to get the movement in tangible shape, each man present pledged him. self to plant instead of cotton, the following number of acres to turf oats and wheat:
 M. B. Hare, 50 to 100 acres. W. c. c. Wilson, 30 to 50 acres.
 J. R. Davis, 50 acres. F. L. Bleakley, 40 acres.
 Handel & Co.,, 50 to 75 acres.
 s. M. Neldon, 10 acres.
 Vim. Neldon, 5 acres.
 The nearby farmers, not pres ent at this meeting were to be solicited and pledges to be se- cured from them of just what cooperation they were willing to lend this movement to benefit the whole South.
 But they didn't stop here. They took hold of the problem that goes with the raising of grain and raised the following subscriptions for the purchase of the necessary harvesting ma- chinery, such as binders and threshers:
 M. B. Hare, $100.
 F. L. Bleakley, $100.
 w. c. c. Wilson, $100.
 J. R. Davis, $100.
 Handel & Co.,, $100.
 To show how much in earnest were these men in this great un- dertaking, it was further agreed i that they meet regularly We'd 1 nesday evenings and that each { one present bring another farm CT with them.
 The value of this effort these men are making for the prosper | ity of the South depends partly l upon what other communitiee are going to do, whether they are going to face the problen l and make this year 1 the turning point from the one 1 crop mania or suicide and better their conditions by reducing cot l ton acreage and planting other crops.
 We commend the example set to every community in this county and hope others-yes, all will follow them. Wheat Sowing Becomes General.
